8. Breaking Generational Cycles and Parenting After Childhood Trauma with Megan Perron

Today's conversation is raw, vulnerable, and powerful, as my new friend Megan Perron shares the story of her childhood and the traumas that she endured. Megan is no longer in contact with her parents and is learning to navigate her motherhood journey by reflecting on how her past experiences impact her as a mother, while also learning how to break the generational cycles that so many mamas find themselves in. We also dive into how all relationships—whether they be with our families,  partners, or friends—can change when you become a mother. Megan is a mama, wife, cancer survivor, and business owner who, after becoming a mom in 2021, started designing apparel for bodies that have been through it all. MPowHer Collective is a Minneapolis-based, mom-owned active and loungewear brand that aims to create clothes that everyone can feel comfortable and confident in. This episode is a powerful one, and I know that Megan's story will resonate with a lot of mamas who may be working through childhood traumas of their own. By discussing and reflecting on our pasts, we discuss how we can strive to be the best mamas we can be in the present moment and future.
