EP68 7 Ways Trauma Makes Motherhood Harder

The Radical Mother Village with Christa Bevan

We all know motherhood is hard right? The bad news is, when you have unhealed trauma that you're dealing with, it makes motherhood that much harder. It's not all bad news though, in this episode I'm sharing 7 ways trauma interferes with how you show up in your parenting life and giving you the next steps for how to be the best version of mom you can be.
In this episode I'm discussing:

• Why our kids need us to help them co-regulate their big feelings
• How a history of trauma impacts the size of our "stress cup"
• The way trauma keeps us stuck in the past and reacting from old wounds
• How chronic survival mode presents itself in motherhood and interferes with our desire to be present, patient & attuned to our children

A radical mother is a woman poised in her power ready to disrupt cycles of generational trauma running through her family like wildfire. She's working to improve her life, the lives of her children, and shape the landscape of her community. If that's you - you're in the right place.
