The Most Compassionate Path to Healing Shame and Embracing Motherhood

In this powerful episode of Mamahood After Trauma, host Emily Cleghorn opens up about one of motherhood's most unspoken struggles: shame.

Drawing from her own experience following her daughter's birth, Emily shares how suppressed trauma surfaced and left her feeling isolated and overwhelmed. She vulnerably recounts admitting to her husband that she hated being a mother — and how his compassion became a turning point in her healing.

Emily reminds listeners that shame loses its power when spoken aloud in safe spaces, and encourages mothers to stop hiding and start healing — together.
