Trauma-Informed Parenting | Emotional Regulation | Manage Triggers in Motherhood

Are you a mama carrying childhood trauma while trying to parent with patience, presence, and peace? You’re not alone — and you’re exactly where you need to be.

I’m Emily Cleghorn, trauma-surviving mama of two and Trigger Recovery Coach for Mamas. This podcast is where we stop pretending we’re “fine” and start healing out loud. Here, we talk honestly about maternal mental health, trauma-informed motherhood, and what it really takes to regulate your emotions and manage triggers in the middle of raising kids.

Each week, you’ll get trauma-informed conversations, practical healing strategies, and real talk about:

✨ Managing triggers in motherhood without guilt or shame
✨ Emotional regulation when everything feels like too much
✨ Building resilience after childhood, emotional, or birth trauma
✨ Reclaiming your peace while raising securely attached, connected kids
✨ Breaking generational cycles through grounded, heart-led parenting

Whether you're navigating postpartum triggers, coping with trauma resurfacing in motherhood, or simply trying to stay calm after a hard day, this show gives you the tools, stories, and support you need to heal without losing yourself.

This isn’t just a podcast — it’s a lifeline for cycle-breaking mamas rebuilding their lives from the inside out.

Take a deep breath. You’re not doing this alone.
Let’s walk this healing path together — one episode, one moment of peace, one breakthrough at a time.

  • Breaking the Algorithm: Reclaiming Parenting Power in a Digital World

    Breaking the Algorithm: Reclaiming Parenting Power in a Digital World
    Jun 11 2026

    In this empowering episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn welcomes physician and digital wellbeing researcher Dr. Sanjita Setia for a vital conversation about navigating technology as trauma-surviving mothers. Dr. Setia reframes children's technology struggles not as "addiction" but as manipulation by intentionally designed platforms — relieving parents of unnecessary guilt. She offers practical strategies, including "phone parking" at night, family device sunsets, and prioritizing quality over quantity of screen time. Most powerfully, she encourages open, vulnerable communication with children about technology's influence, fostering critical thinking and deeper family connection. A truly transformative episode for modern mamas healing and parenting with intention.

    Rewiring Motherhood: How to Break Free from Unconscious Trauma Loops
    Jun 9 2026

    In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn — trauma survivor and cycle breaker — tackles one of the most painful realizations in parenting after trauma: unconsciously repeating the very patterns we promised to leave behind. Emily explains how trauma responses are rooted in the nervous system, not broken by willpower alone. She offers a compassionate, four-step pattern interruption practice to help mamas notice triggers, get curious, and choose differently — one small moment at a time. She also invites listeners to join The Rising Room community and take a free healing quiz. Mend the past so you can mama in peace.
