Have you ever wondered why motherhood feels heavier than you expected, even when you love your kids deeply? In this powerful conversation, Emily sits down with trauma therapist Leslie Santana to explore inner child healing and how unresolved childhood experiences can quietly impact patience, joy, emotional connection, and self-worth in motherhood.

This episode goes beyond coping strategies and productivity advice. It explores why so many mothers feel shame, guilt, and grief, and how reconnecting with your inner child can help you reclaim joy, emotional safety, and a deeper sense of self.

Leslie and Emily talk about:
• What inner child healing really is and why it matters in motherhood
• How childhood conditioning shows up in parenting triggers
• Why grief over what you did not receive deserves space
• How re-parenting yourself can break generational cycles
• Why joy and play are essential for both mothers and children

This conversation is for any mother who is healing, questioning old patterns, and ready to reconnect with the part of yourself that still knows how to feel alive. This conversation is for you.
