How Does Childhood Trauma Impact Children’s Weight and Emotional Health?

In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn welcomes Kamy Moussavi, founder of Step Together, to explore the deep connection between childhood trauma and excess weight in children. Kamy shares his personal journey with trauma, anxiety, and weight struggles, revealing how unhealed parental trauma silently shapes children's coping mechanisms. Together, they unpack how survival mode prevents parents from recognizing emotional roots beneath their children's weight challenges. This honest, compassionate conversation reminds us that lasting change begins with awareness, emotional healing, and creating safe family environments—empowering parents to break generational cycles and build healthier futures for themselves and their children.
