In this episode of Raise It Up, I sit down with Janany Jayanthikumar, a social worker, educator, and trauma and attachment expert, to talk about how unresolved trauma shapes identity, leadership, and motherhood. Janany shares her personal experience of uncovering childhood trauma later in life and how that process shifted the way she relates to herself, her family, and her work. We discuss what it means to move out of survival mode and into a life led by clarity, safety, and self trust.
We explore how trauma shows up differently depending on when it occurs, why healing is rarely linear, and how early attachment patterns quietly influence how women lead, love, and build. We also talk about entrepreneurship as a powerful mirror for inner work, especially for women who are building businesses while raising families. Janany shares why so many founders feel stuck in over-functioning and self doubt, and how rebuilding self image and nervous system safety can create more ease and sustainable growth.
Tune in to hear this conversation and join me for an episode centered on healing, leadership, and raising the next generation with intention.
