What Kids Actually Need From a Healing Mama

In this episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn tackles the vulnerable moment when trauma-survivor mothers wonder if their healing journey is "enough" to be a good parent. Many believe that only those who are fully healed can provide a safe, loving environment for their children, but this belief keeps mothers stuck in shame and self-doubt. Emily challenges this myth, showing that healing is an ongoing process and that your willingness to grow is what matters most. She promises to guide you through reframing your expectations, embracing repair after mistakes, and modeling self-compassion for your children. As a trauma survivor, certified coach, and mother herself, Emily brings both lived experience and professional expertise to support you on your healing and parenting journey. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a Mamahood After Trauma Supporter- https://buymeacoffee.com/emilycleghorn Take the quiz here: https://emilycleghorncoaching.ca/quiz   If you’re ready to go deeper and connect with a community of women who get it, I’d love to invite you into the Rising Room—our safe space for mamas navigating healing, growth, and motherhood after trauma.
