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
