Nourishing the Nurturer: Self-Care Rituals for Trauma-Surviving Mamas
As mamas navigating the complexities of childhood trauma, establishing healthy routines can be a game-changer. In our conversation with Karen Robinson, a powerful truth emerged: intentionally crafting morning and evening rituals sets the tone for a more grounded, nourishing day.
The Power of Bookending Your Day
Karen beautifully described the concept of "bookends" - thoughtfully structuring the beginning and end of each day to create a sense of calm amidst the chaos. When we consciously design routines that nurture our minds, bodies, and spirits, we cultivate an internal sanctuary to return to throughout our busy lives as mamas.

Grounding Morning Rituals
As Karen shared, the morning offers a precious window of opportunity to fill our cups before the demands of the day kick in. Even if it means sacrificing a bit of sleep initially, rising before our little ones can be transformative. She suggests a beautiful trifecta:
Meditation or Mindfulness: Whether guided or simply focusing on your breath, this practice centers us in the present moment, reducing anxiety and increasing clarity.
Movement: From a gentle walk around the block to a more vigorous workout, moving our bodies releases tension and boosts endorphins for a positive mindset.
Spiritual Nourishment: For those drawn to faith or personal growth, engaging with uplifting texts, prayers, or affirmations can provide a profound sense of grounding.

Meet Coach Emily
Emily Cleghorn has a fire burning in her soul to make the world a better place and it’s not hard to see why.
If someone would have told her that she would use her trauma that she was enduring in her childhood to inspire and lift others up, she would have laughed you off.
Emily grew up in beautiful small town Nova Scotia, a place she couldn’t wait to get as far away from as soon as she was old enough to leave home. For her, where she grew up represented a lot of pain, disappointment and unmet promises. It represented a lot of limitation and toxic relationships.
She somehow found a strength deep within her to keep persisting. She was aware of the statistics for kids that grew up in similar situations and she made a decision early on that she was not going to be one of those statistics.
She was going to be different...
For Emily, mamahood has been a journey of learning how to regulate her own nervous system so she could teach her babies to do the same.
It hasn't been easy. That's why she created "Mama Untriggered" Private Podcast Series—a transformative 5-episode journey outlining the steps she took to help her calm her nervous system and reclaim her strength in mamahood that's completely changed the game for her!
It can do the same for you!
