From Triggered to Brave Rewriting Your Family Story as a Cycle Breaker Mom

Have you ever felt the weight of generational trauma pressing down on your shoulders as you navigate motherhood? That overwhelming desire to do things differently, to break free from the patterns that have haunted your family for generations? You're not alone in this struggle, mama.

As a trauma survivor and trigger recovery coach, I've walked this path myself. Today, I'm opening up about what it truly means to be a cycle breaker - and let me tell you, it's far from the polished, Instagram-worthy image we often see.

The Raw Reality of Breaking Cycles

Being a cycle breaker isn't just about making bold declarations or creating vision boards (though those can certainly help). It's about:

• Choosing to stay present when every fiber of your being wants to shut down
• Taking that crucial pause before reacting, even if it's just for one breath
• Getting back up and trying again, not because it's easy, but because you know deep in your soul that this pain stops with you

From Survival to Sacred Transformation

I vividly remember the moment my own healing journey truly began. Just weeks after giving birth to my first child, I was hit by a tsunami of repressed emotions. In that raw, vulnerable state, I had to make a choice: run away or face the unknown.

I chose to stay - not because I felt strong, but because my love for my daughter was more powerful than my fear of confronting my own pain. That decision became the catalyst for profound change in my life and ultimately led to the creation of my new book, "Breaking Free: Parenting in the Midst of Trauma Recovery."

Embracing the Beautiful Mess of Healing

Here's the truth, mama: cycle breaking is exhausting, messy, and often thankless work. You're:

• Learning to feel emotions you were never given permission to have
• Building boundaries no one taught you how to create
• Showing up with intention while still tending to your own wounds

But I want you to hear this loud and clear: Your efforts are incredibly brave and powerful. Even the desire to break the cycle is an act of resistance against generations of pain.
