đź“š Books by Emily Cleghorn
Gentle guides for trauma-surviving mamas who want less reactivity, more safety, and real change.
If you’re carrying a lot—and trying to parent, heal, and hold it all together—you don’t need another book that tells you to “just try harder.”
These books are here to help you understand what’s happening in your body, make sense of your reactions, and start breaking cycles with compassion instead of shame.
You don’t have to read them in a perfect season of life. You can start right where you are.
🔥 Rising from the Ashes: Reclaiming Your Life After a Traumatic Childhood
For the mama who’s starting to realize her past is still shaping her present.
This book helps you gently explore the impact of a traumatic childhood, understand your survival patterns, and begin rebuilding your sense of self—without blame or pressure to “be over it already.”
It’s a place to start if you’re beginning to ask:
Why do I react this way? And what would healing actually look like for me?
