Have you ever felt like a part of you was frozen in time, trapped in the past while the rest of you moved forward? For trauma survivors navigating motherhood, that sense of being pulled in two directions is all too familiar – a tug-of-war between the present joy of nurturing life and the echoes of pain that still linger.

But what if those echoes hold the key to unlocking a deeper sense of wholeness and becoming the mother you strive to be? This candid conversation dives into the often-overlooked intersection of trauma recovery and motherhood through the lens of Laura's personal journey.

Despite her best efforts to leave the past behind, she found herself grappling with intense emotional triggers in the early years of parenting – from the panic of letting her children play at others' homes to crippling travel anxiety that left her, quite literally, soiled. Yet her resilience shines through as she guides you to:

• Recognize when you're caught in a trauma loop by tuning into your body's signals

• Release the pressure of arbitrary timelines and give yourself permission to fully feel

• View recurring triggers as renovation, not relapse – opportunities to address trauma's impact methodically

• Model emotional intelligence by giving yourself space to process difficult feelings in healthy ways
