]]> Kisha Buzzsprout-19327727 Wed, 10 Jun 2026 18:00:00 -0400 3966 full false EP 5: Healing the Wound: Trauma, Motherhood & the Untold Truths for Women of Color | Eddie Theokas EP 5: Healing the Wound: Trauma, Motherhood & the Untold Truths for Women of Color | Eddie Theokas We sit down with Edwidge (Eddie) Theokas, founder of Planting Seeds, for a powerful, honest, and necessary conversation about trauma, motherhood, and the lived experiences of women—especially mothers navigating life as women of color.
This isn’t surface level talk. This is the kind of dialogue that gently lifts the veil and then lovingly refuses to put it back down.
We explore Eddie’s personal journey, what called her into the field of therapy, what she witnessed, what she carried, and what she chose to transform into purpose. Because nobody just “decides” to become a therapist overnight. There’s always a story. Always a seed planted that blooms into healing for others.

From there, we move into the heart of her work: supporting women and mothers navigating trauma.
Motherhood is often romanticized and is wrapped in soft language and filtered through unrealistic expectations. But for many women, especially women of color, motherhood can exist at the intersection of love, sacrifice, exhaustion, identity loss, and unhealed wounds.

We discuss the disparities in mental health treatment and maternal care along with how women of color often experience being unheard, dismissed, or misdiagnosed within healthcare and therapeutic spaces. Not to divide. Not to shame. But to educate, illuminate, and build understanding. Because awareness is where empathy begins.
This conversation is for:

Women navigating motherhood while carrying invisible weight
Mothers who feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed
Women of color who have experienced disparities in care
Women who want to better understand experiences different from their own
Anyone committed to breaking generational cycles and planting new seeds of healing

We talk about:
The journey into becoming a therapist
Trauma and how it uniquely impacts mothers
The emotional and mental load carried by women
Cultural and systemic differences in treatment experiences
How healing can begin—practically, emotionally, and spiritually
This space is not about blame.
It’s about truth.
It’s about growth.
It’s about bridging gaps with compassion instead of silence.
So pull up, pour from your heart and listen with your soul.
Join us for a conversation that just might shift the way you see motherhood, trauma, and healing
