Mamahood After Trauma Podcast
Trauma-Informed Parenting | Emotional Regulation | Manage Triggers in Motherhood
Are you a mama carrying childhood trauma while trying to parent with patience, presence, and peace? You’re not alone — and you’re exactly where you need to be.
I’m Emily Cleghorn, trauma-surviving mama of two and Trigger Recovery Coach for Mamas. This podcast is where we stop pretending we’re “fine” and start healing out loud. Here, we talk honestly about maternal mental health, trauma-informed motherhood, and what it really takes to regulate your emotions and manage triggers in the middle of raising kids.
Each week, you’ll get trauma-informed conversations, practical healing strategies, and real talk about:
✨ Managing triggers in motherhood without guilt or shame
✨ Emotional regulation when everything feels like too much
✨ Building resilience after childhood, emotional, or birth trauma
✨ Reclaiming your peace while raising securely attached, connected kids
✨ Breaking generational cycles through grounded, heart-led parenting
Whether you're navigating postpartum triggers, coping with trauma resurfacing in motherhood, or simply trying to stay calm after a hard day, this show gives you the tools, stories, and support you need to heal without losing yourself.
This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a lifeline for cycle-breaking mamas rebuilding their lives from the inside out.
Take a deep breath. You’re not doing this alone.
Let’s walk this healing path together — one episode, one moment of peace, one breakthrough at a time.

Welcome to the Mamahood After Trauma Podcast!
My name is Emily Cleghorn and I’m your host on this journey. I created this show to give mamas navigating triggers from childhood a place to break free from trauma and gain the tools they need to become the mama they needed growing up.
Each week on the show, you’ll meet another mama who has turned her pain into purpose and begun to pay it forward for other trauma survivors. We talk about different healing modalities and we share our stories.
We don’t sugarcoat things here— healing trauma in the midst of parenting is hard and it can be incredibly isolating but it doesn’t have to be. Allow myself and my guests to come alongside you to lift you up when you’re feeling defeated.
Listen now wherever you get your podcasts and come back every Tuesday for a fresh episode.

So often we think that in our parenting journey, it's all about our child and that the behaviour of our child has nothing to do with us--sometimes this is true... but most of the time it isn't, especially if we have unhealed trauma. In this episode, Emily is joined by Hypnosis expert, Kate Semeniuk to discuss how the beliefs we hold about ourselves and our life experience are playing out inside of how we parent our children.
