E38: From Wounds to Wisdom: the Impact of Trauma on the Mothering Journey, with Emilie Reyes, LMT

Delivered: finding victory after Postpartum Depression

In this episode of Delivered, we are joined by one of my greatest friends, Emilie Reyes, who is a Licensed Massage Therapist and has a powerful story to share! In this deeply personal episode, Emilie will share how past trauma shapes the way we mother—our choices, our fears, our resilience, and our healing. Whether it's a traumatic event (or two!), pregnancy issues, or birth trauma, trauma doesn't disappear when a baby arrives; instead, it often resurfaces in unexpected ways. Join us as we sit down with Emilie, who has walked through the fire to discuss how trauma informs the mothering journey—and how, through awareness, support, and healing, those wounds can become a source of strength, resiliency, and wisdom. This episode is a reminder that healing is possible, and that every story matters!
