460 - How to support your kids while healing yourself

Parenting is always challenging, but when you're healing from trauma, it can feel especially overwhelming. Trauma doesn't just stay within you; its effects ripple out, often impacting your children in ways that are subtle but significant. As mums, we want to protect our kids from the weight of our struggles, but children are incredibly perceptive—they often sense more than we realise. In this episode, we unpack the ripple effect of trauma on families and explore practical strategies to support your children while prioritising your healing journey. With tools, self-compassion, and intentional steps, you can create a nurturing environment that fosters resilience for both you and your kids.  Links mentioned in the episode:  Download our free resource guide for this episode, packed with practical tips and strategies to help you support your children while prioritising your own healing.
