As moms, we often find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of responsibilities, pouring our hearts and souls into caring for our children. But in the process, we sometimes forget a crucial truth: we can't nurture others if we're running on empty ourselves. In this eye-opening episode, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Michelle Watson, an international speaker and business mentor who's turning pain into passion. Michelle's powerful talk at our recent Mamahood After Trauma Symposium sheds light on a topic close to my heart: the importance of self-care for moms. The Sacred Journey of Motherhood Michelle beautifully captures the essence of motherhood as a sacred journey, from conception to watching our children grow and thrive. She reminds us that whether we're biological mothers or not, we're leaving an indelible mark on the lives we nurture. But here's the catch - in our dedication to our families, we often neglect ourselves. Michelle emphasizes that this self-neglect serves no one and can lead to resentment and bitterness. Putting on Your Own Oxygen Mask First Remember those pre-flight safety instructions? "Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others." Michelle uses this powerful analogy to illustrate why self-care isn't selfish - it's essential. By taking care of ourselves, we're better equipped to care for our loved ones. Breaking the Cycle of Self-Abandonment I share my own journey of realizing how self-neglect was affecting my relationships with my children and husband. It's a wake-up call many of us need: our habit of self-abandonment often stems from us, not external pressures. Michelle's talk is a rallying cry for moms everywhere to embrace self-compassion and recognize their worth beyond their roles as caregivers. She challenges us to honor the "divine essence of motherhood" while not losing sight of our own needs. You're a World-Class Manager Here's a perspective shift: Michelle argues that stay-at-home moms are some of the world's greatest managers. Balancing multiple tasks, managing time efficiently, and wearing countless hats - these are skills that deserve recognition and respect. Are you ready to rewrite your story of motherhood, one where self-care takes center stage? Michelle's full talk, along with insights from 10 other incredible speakers, is available in our symposium replay. It's an investment in yourself that could change the trajectory of your motherhood journey. Remember, mama, your well-being matters. It's time to fill your cup first, so you can pour from a place of abundance, not scarcity. Let's start honoring the sacredness of motherhood by honoring ourselves.

Have you ever felt like your past trauma is holding you back from fully embracing motherhood? You're not alone. Many of us carry invisible scars that impact our daily lives, often without realizing it. But what if I told you that understanding your nervous system's biology could be the key to unlocking healing and growth? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Michelle Brown, a functional nutrition practitioner and clinical herbalist, to explore the intricate connection between trauma and our nervous system. Michelle shares her expertise on how our bodies respond to overwhelming experiences and why addressing the biological aspects of trauma is crucial for true healing. Redefining Trauma: It's Not Just About the Event Michelle challenges our conventional understanding of trauma, explaining that it's less about specific events and more about how our nervous system responds to overwhelming experiences. This perspective shift opens up new possibilities for healing, even for those who may not have identified with the label of "trauma survivor" before. The Three States of Your Nervous System The stress response (fight or flight) The rest and digest state (where we all want to be) The freeze response (often linked to chronic trauma patterns) Understanding these states can help you identify where you might be stuck and how to move towards a more balanced state. The Biology Behind Your Trauma Response Michelle dives into the often-overlooked aspect of trauma healing: nervous system biology. Learn how nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter imbalances, and other biological factors can keep you trapped in unhelpful patterns. By addressing these underlying issues, you can create the foundation for lasting change. From Struggle to Strength: Michelle's Personal Journey Through her own story of overcoming eating disorders and navigating life's challenges, Michelle illustrates how understanding her nervous system's responses transformed her healing journey. Her experiences offer hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with similar issues. Practical Steps for Nervous System Regulation Identifying and addressing nutrient deficiencies Using herbs as powerful allies in regulating stress responses Practicing body awareness to recognize and shift out of trauma responses Are you ready to explore the biology of your nervous system and take the first steps towards deep, lasting healing? This episode offers a compassionate, science-based approach to understanding and working with your trauma responses. By tuning in, you'll gain valuable insights to support your journey towards a more balanced, joyful experience of motherhood.

Have you ever felt like your past trauma was holding you back from being the mother you want to be? You're not alone. Many of us who've experienced childhood trauma struggle to find our footing in motherhood, often feeling lost and overwhelmed. But what if I told you that the key to transforming your life after trauma lies within you? It's true. Your inner strength and core values are powerful tools that can guide you towards healing and help you create the life you dream of for yourself and your children. Unveiling Your Inner Strength: A Three-Part Journey Let's explore the three crucial aspects of uncovering your inner strength: a) Recognizing the strength you already possess: As trauma survivors, we often downplay our resilience. But surviving and continuing to show up, even in broken systems, demonstrates immense strength. b) Redefining strength: Strength isn't always about pushing through. Sometimes, it's found in softness, seeking help, and taking a break. c) Discovering how to unveil your strength: Reflect on past experiences where you've shown resilience. Write down your wins - times when you thought you couldn't go on, but did anyway. Discovering Your Core Values: Your Guiding Light Core values are your guiding principles - what matters most to you. They shape your decisions, relationships, and priorities. However, trauma can cloud these values, making it challenging to define them. To clarify your values: a) Reflect on what matters most to you as a mother b) Ask yourself what kind of environment you want to create for your children c) Don't judge your answers - allow them to emerge naturally Applying Your Strength and Values: Shaping Your Life When you combine your uncovered strength with your defined values, you create a powerful foundation for healing and growth. This combination can help simplify decision-making and guide you towards a more peaceful, empowered life. Remember, healing is a journey, and there will be tough moments. That's when you tap into your inner strength, recalling your wins and knowing you've overcome challenges before. You're stronger than you know, mama. By aligning with your values and recognizing your strength, you're taking charge of your healing journey. You're not just surviving - you're thriving and creating a beautiful legacy for your children. Are you ready to unveil your strength and values? Let's embark on this transformative journey together. Your path to healing and empowerment awaits. Become a Mamahood After Trauma VIP subscriber by joining our exclusive email list: mamahoodaftertrauma.ca/mat-subscriber

As moms, we often find ourselves caught in a web of stories we've woven about who we are and what we're capable of. These narratives, shaped by our past experiences and societal expectations, can hold us back from embracing our true potential. But what if we could rewrite these stories and step into the person we were meant to be? In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Bridget Bolden, a coach who specializes in helping women navigate life transitions. Bridget shares her personal journey of rediscovering herself amid the demands of motherhood and offers invaluable insights for moms who feel lost in their roles. Uncovering the Hidden Narratives Bridget reveals how seemingly innocuous comments from our childhood can shape our self-perception for years to come. She explains: "It can be well-meaning teachers who tell us you're really good at writing, or maybe you shouldn't study history... These names and these identities that we take on." We explore how these internalized stories can impact our lives, especially during major life transitions like empty nesting, divorce, or career changes. Practical Steps for Self-Discovery If you're feeling disconnected from your true self, Bridget offers practical advice to reconnect: Pay attention to your inner dialogue: Notice how you talk to yourself and what thoughts arise when you look in the mirror. Explore your passions: Set aside time to reflect on what truly lights you up and moves you emotionally. Record your insights: Use voice memos or journaling to capture moments of clarity and inspiration.

What if everything you thought would free you from childhood trauma has actually been keeping you stuck? According to Stephana, most survivors search in vain for the key that will unlock their suffering. They look to books, scroll social media, or ask others for the answer. But the real path to freedom starts within. It begins by confronting what lives inside you - your deepest, most avoided feelings. As counterintuitive as it sounds, leaning into difficult emotions is what enables their transformation. By telling the whole truth about your experience and receiving all that surfaces with compassion, you reconnect to your wholeness. Stefana explains why this act of inner listening holds the gifts and messages that make transcendence possible. She describes her own journey as a trauma survivor and mother determined to break destructive cycles. Though facing the past proved excruciating, over time the truth set her free. Now she raises her children with that same fierce love - committed to instilling the tools for emotional intelligence early on. If you take just one thing from this conversation, let it be this: - Learn why you must bravely excavate your inner world to resolve past wounds - Discover how all feelings contain profound teachings when held in the light - Understand the self-trust required to stop seeking external fixes - Implement a simple mindfulness practice to anchor yourself amidst motherhood - Gain hope that with compassion and courage, we can all rewrite even the most painful stories "When we're searching under the rocks, when we're looking in every book when we're looking out there, we're missing what needs to be really confronted. And that's what's inside us, what we're really feeling." Through Stephana's words, may you find the permission and guidance to finally care for the hurt child within. There is no burden we cannot alchemize when we tend our own souls with gentleness. To learn more about this and other episodes, visit home.mendedmamalife.ca/blog
