This week on the KICK-ASS Stepmom podcast, I interviewed Amber Trejo. Amber is a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified clinical trauma professional who specializes in complex childhood trauma and the family system. She is the founder and CEO of Holding Hearts Counseling in Indianapolis. She is also a wife and mama to 3 wild boys on her own journey to heal from childhood trauma and break generational cycles of trauma and abuse.

We discuss:

• How our childhood trauma affects us as adults
• Learning to regulate emotions when you grew up in chaos
• Why stepmoms may feel like an outsider
• Challenging the stories and narratives in our head
• Strategies for regulating our nervous system
