Rediscovering Yourself When Survival No Longer Defines You

In this episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn explores one of healing's most profound challenges: identity reconstruction.

Emily vulnerably shares how early childhood trauma left her unsure of who she was beyond survival, and guides listeners through the disorienting "middle space" of healing — where the old self no longer fits, but the new self hasn't fully emerged.

She encourages mothers to reconnect with lost parts of themselves through powerful reflective questions.

Emily also shares updates about community support and introduces The Rising Room, her healing community for mothers navigating trauma recovery and motherhood simultaneously.
