Episode Details

In this powerful episode, host Emily Cleghorn explores one of healing's most overlooked challenges — grieving the person you once were.

Emily compassionately unpacks why letting go of a past self can feel confusing, even painful, reminding listeners that missing the "old you" often means missing pieces like joy, confidence, and freedom. She encourages mothers to honor that former version of themselves while courageously choosing to move forward.

Emily also highlights two supportive resources: a free healing quiz and the Rising Room community, designed to help trauma survivors rebuild with clarity and peace.
