In this episode of Moms Without Capes, Onnie Michalsky sits down with Tricia Thornton, author of Blessing from Fear: Embracing Your Journey – Discovering Your True Self, Tricia shares her insights on understanding trauma, the four fear responses (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn), and how these responses influence our parenting and personal lives.

Tricia also provides practical strategies for navigating emotions, filling emotional buckets, and embracing mindfulness to create more meaningful connections with ourselves and our children.
