Motherhood After Trauma: Rebuilding Identity, Healing, and Second Chances | Kalise White

What happens when motherhood begins in the middle of healing, not after it? In Healing Horizons, hosted by Archita, this episode explores the raw, real journey of rebuilding life after trauma and incarceration.

This conversation is for anyone carrying guilt, shame, or a past they’re still learning to live with. Kalise White shares how healing becomes a daily practice, how motherhood brings both pain and purpose, and how identity can be rewritten—one choice at a time.
