S3E81:From Chaos to Calm Building a Life Aligned with Your True Self

Have you ever felt like your past trauma was holding you back from being the mother you want to be? You're not alone. Many of us who've experienced childhood trauma struggle to find our footing in motherhood, often feeling lost and overwhelmed.

But what if I told you that the key to transforming your life after trauma lies within you? It's true. Your inner strength and core values are powerful tools that can guide you towards healing and help you create the life you dream of for yourself and your children.

Unveiling Your Inner Strength: A Three-Part Journey

Let's explore the three crucial aspects of uncovering your inner strength:

• a) Recognizing the strength you already possess: As trauma survivors, we often downplay our resilience. But surviving and continuing to show up, even in broken systems, demonstrates immense strength.
• b) Redefining strength: Strength isn't always about pushing through. Sometimes, it's found in softness, seeking help, and taking a break.
• c) Discovering how to unveil your strength: Reflect on past experiences where you've shown resilience. Write down your wins - times when you thought you couldn't go on, but did anyway.

Discovering Your Core Values: Your Guiding Light

Core values are your guiding principles - what matters most to you. They shape your decisions, relationships, and priorities. However, trauma can cloud these values, making it challenging to define them.

To clarify your values:

• a) Reflect on what matters most to you as a mother
• b) Ask yourself what kind of environment you want to create for your children
• c) Don't judge your answers - allow them to emerge naturally

Applying Your Strength and Values: Shaping Your Life

When you combine your uncovered strength with your defined values, you create a powerful foundation for healing and growth. This combination can help simplify decision-making and guide you towards a more peaceful, empowered life.

Remember, healing is a journey, and there will be tough moments. That's when you tap into your inner strength, recalling your wins and knowing you've overcome challenges before.

You're stronger than you know, mama. By aligning with your values and recognizing your strength, you're taking charge of your healing journey. You're not just surviving - you're thriving and creating a beautiful legacy for your children.

Are you ready to unveil your strength and values? Let's embark on this transformative journey together. Your path to healing and empowerment awaits.
