Awakened Foreign-Born Mama | Trauma Healing, Reconnecting to True Self, Subconscious Reprogramming, Health, Happiness and Thriving
Welcome to Awakened Foreign-Born Mama, a podcast taking an honest look at how unhealed childhood traumas impact our lives as immigrant mothers - and what we can do to break free and truly thrive.
For many of us, the challenges of mothering in a new culture are compounded by past hurts, dysfunctions, and oppressive environments we endured growing up. These unresolved pains and unhealthy patterns seep into our mental health, relationships, marriages, parenting, and overall sense of self-worth.
But you don't have to remain stuck or merely survive. On this podcast, we explore the crucial question: Despite your traumas, how can you heal yourself and thrive - creating an extraordinary, fulfilling life as an immigrant mom?
Through raw, insightful stories and expert guidance, we'll dive deep into generational wounds, healing childhood trauma, and unlocking pathways to happiness, peace, success or anything else that our hearts desire. You'll gain life-changing mindsets and practical tools to:
- Break cycles of dysfunction and limiting beliefs
- Overcome anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles
- Rediscover your self-confidence and most authentic self
- Nurture yourself and your children from a place of wholeness
Join our community as we forge a new way forward together, building resilience, self-compassion and self-love to transform our past traumas into personal power and profound growth.
Healing and thriving awaits, mama!

How Childhood Trauma Affects Us as Adults
When I came to the U.S., I became a wife and a mom. And I was really struggling. I didn't know why though. I have noticed that many foreign born moms are traumatized one way or another, but they don't even know it. I didn't know that I was traumatized. I grew up thinking that so many things were normal, but they were actually very toxic.
Through my healing process I discovered that I had experienced trauma, and it was showing up in my life. Trauma can manifest itself and can affect our bodies, our behaviors, our relationships and our marriages.
Growing up, I never had any conversation about trauma, what it was and how it affects your body. This topic was nonexistent. Trauma is discussed more in the US and more info is available than in Kyrgyzstan, but it is not normalized. Most people think of trauma as something big like a car accident, sexual abuse, genocide or war, or a natural disaster. But trauma can be acquired through physical or verbal abuse, or bullying, parental neglect, or discrimination.
In this episode, I share some of my own personal experiences with trauma and I share what I have been learning about trauma. It is important for us to learn about our traumas and to be able to address it in order to heal and move forward.
