Foreign-Born Mama with Trauma | Heal Childhood Trauma & Reconnect with Your True Self

NOTE: The podcast is currently on pause. Feel free to explore past episodes!!.

Are you an immigrant mom who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or unhappy despite trying so hard to be a good mother?

Maybe you're unhappy with your marriage or job. Parenting feels hard, and you often feel like you're failing in life. You struggle with your physical or mental health, feel lonely, or long for deeper friendships and meaningful relationships.

You want things to change but don't know how. No matter how hard you try, you keep falling into the same patterns. You feel exhausted, stuck, helpless, and alone. And you wonder, What's wrong with me? Why am I struggling so much? How can I be happy?

What if the problem isn't that you're not trying hard enough? What if childhood trauma and cultural conditioning you may not even recognize are impacting your life?

I'm Nurjan Sterbenz, an immigrant mother from Kyrgyzstan. My struggles with anxiety, depression, health, marriage, and motherhood led me to discover how disconnected I'd become from myself and how deeply my childhood experiences had impacted me. That understanding opened the door to healing, changing old patterns, and taking steps toward creating a better life for myself.

Welcome to Foreign-Born Mama with Trauma, where we explore why we struggle, how to heal ourselves, and how we can thrive as immigrant moms.

Through personal stories, expert conversations, and practical tools, we'll explore emotional, physical and nervous system healing, relationships, parenting, marriage, career and financial success—so we can pursue our dreams, find happiness, and create lives filled with greater peace, love, connection, purpose, and joy.

Because your past doesn't have to define your future.

We can heal. We can evolve. We can thrive.

Let's do this together.
