Created by Aja, and produced by Raising Free People Network, She Said We Shed is a reclamation project for defining a motherhood that acknowledges and helps us heal from the unresolved trauma-informed parenting practices among Black mothers. Aja is raising her Black son while healing from the trauma of being raised by a woman who didn’t heal from whatever harmed her. Black mama trauma is the topic, and honest, love-centered, reclamation and healing are the intentions. Join Aja as she and invited guests get vulnerable and deliberate about legacy shifting with support, back-up, and truth-tellers.

Customer Reviews
Such a good podcast to unpack and heal from the grief of childhood trauma
Listening to this podcast is like having someone hold your hand while you take a deep dive into childhood trauma gunk that people don’t want to but need to talk about. It’s helpful to explore how trauma impacts current relationships and parenting patterns. What’s really helpful is the fact that there are ways to heal and evolve and get support rather than being left feeling hopeless. Highly, highly recommend.
