November Bonus Episode: Motherhood + Trauma Discussion
Have you listened to EP 4 - Motherhood + Trauma with Aundi Kolber? If not, click over to that episode first! It's a precursor for this discussion, and you don't want to miss all that Aundi has to say. Her words are truly a gift.
Today we're debriefing our conversation with Aundi Kolber—a mother, professional counselor, and author—about motherhood and trauma. For many of us, trauma is a word we have reserved for people who have gone through life-altering, dangerous, or abusive experiences, and we have never given attention to the “little t traumas” that add up over a lifetime. No matter where you are, or what you’ve survived, Aundi compassionately walks us through this important conversation on honoring your story, learning how to be a mother even if you didn’t have a great example, and taking care of yourself so you can, in turn, take care of others. You’ll also learn a few ways to parent with empathy, so you can guide your children through their own pain. Whether you’ve endured a devastating circumstance, or many months of overwhelm, we hope this episode encourages you to make space for healing.
