In this episode: finding out you’re pregnant at 27 weeks becoming a mom with no time to prepare postpartum anxiety and overwhelming thoughts feeling like a “bad mom” and working through guilt raising children through trauma and behavioral challenges learning new ways to parent instead of repeating cycles why environment impacts children more than labels choosing to do things differently as a mom This isn’t just about motherhood. It’s about survival, growth and making sure your children don’t carry what you did.
