Mamahood After Trauma | Healing Childhood Trauma, Parenting Triggers & Emotional Regulation for Moms
Are you a mama healing from childhood trauma while trying to stop repeating the patterns you grew up with? You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.
I’m Emily Cleghorn, trauma-surviving mama of two and Trigger Recovery Coach for Mamas. Mamahood After Trauma is where we stop pretending we’re “fine” and start healing out loud.
This podcast explores what happens when your past shows up in your parenting — from parenting triggers and emotional regulation to mom guilt, burnout, maternal mental health, and breaking generational cycles.
Each week, you’ll get honest conversations, trauma-informed education, and practical tools to help you:
✨ Understand your parenting triggers and respond instead of react
✨ Regulate your emotions when motherhood feels overwhelming
✨ Heal unprocessed childhood, emotional, or birth trauma
✨ Build resilience and trust yourself as a mom
✨ Create a more connected relationship with yourself and your children
Whether you’re struggling with yelling, feeling touched out and overwhelmed, experiencing trauma resurfacing in motherhood, or simply wanting to parent differently than you were parented — this show is here to support your healing journey.
This isn’t about becoming a perfect mom.
It’s about becoming a more present, connected, and confident one — while healing the parts of yourself that were never meant to be carried alone.
