Hope for Hunt: Healing Together After Tragedy
In this special episode of the Miracle Mama Podcast, listeners are invited into a recorded grief support session held for mothers in the Dallas community following the devastating floods in Hunt, Texas. Originally planned as a wellness gathering focused on nervous system regulation, the event shifted into a powerful space for processing collective trauma and supporting one another in the wake of tragedy. Led by licensed therapist Laura McLaughlin, founder of HeadFirst Counseling, the session offered trauma-informed tools for navigating grief, supporting children through emotional distress, and honoring the full range of feelings that arise in the aftermath of crisis. The gathering was hosted at Alive & Well in Dallas and generously sponsored by The Kabani Foundation. To protect the privacy of participants, attendee audio has been intentionally removed. This episode is for any parent feeling overwhelmed, unsure of what to say, or simply seeking guidance on how to hold space for themselves and their children during difficult times. It also shares the remarkable way the local community came together to provide tangible support—filling a 53-foot truck with donations for families impacted by the flood. Grief is not meant to be carried alone. This conversation is a reminder that healing begins in community.
