EP68: Azita Nahai on Transforming Pain into Purpose, Navigating Spiritual Practice as a Mother, and Healing Trauma Somatically

What Azita Shares:      Her own experience with trauma and how it shaped her personal and professional path      How she received support to leave her abuser and begin treatment for her trauma      How motherhood uprooted her sense of control      Her fertility and birth journey What You'll Hear:      Understanding that relational abuse and trauma can take many different forms   Finding the permission to be kind and compassionate to yourself   Listening to the body's experience to finally find healing   Becoming an active participant in your healing   Giving grief time and space, without allowing it to take over forever   Navigating recovery while mothering   Softening into self compassion for mothering   The importance of pausing and allowing inner wisdom to speak   Navigating sexual trauma while trying to become pregnant      The difference between processing trauma somatically and intellectually      Finding time and space to process while caring for a child      Allowing your spiritual practice to evolve as life evolves      The community that comes together for you may not be who you expect      Truly embodying the idea that community support during parenting is a necessity, not a luxury      Getting reacquainted with your body after birth      The power of witnessing for healing      Allowing our children to live their experiences
