***BONUS Choosing Different Mini Series: What I Wish I'd Done Differently with my daughters, Mataia and Morgan
<p>In this episode of the Choosing Different mini-series, Hali is joined by her daughters, Mataia and Morgan, for an honest conversation about betrayal trauma's impact on the whole family — not just the marriage. Hali reflects on what she believed she was doing right at the time (staying reassuring, keeping hard details between the adults) and what she's since learned she missed about how her daughters were actually experiencing it. Mataia and Morgan share what that season of family trauma recovery looked like from where they were standing as kids, and how it's shaping the choices they make now as young moms of their own.</p><p>Together they talk about the protective patterns that form in the middle of survival mode, why validating both the parent's experience and the child's experience matters for real healing, and what it looks like to break old patterns on purpose instead of by accident. The episode closes with an invitation to the Becoming Together mother/daughter retreat.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Mentioned in this episode: </strong></p><p>If you're ready for a deeper connection with your daughter(s),<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Xi1vUJPyHfeFZx1XnWNwXmG7K6BnEDNIqSxUjsPNeYw/viewform?edit_requested=true"> </a>learn more about my upcoming retreat - <a href="https://www.rootedandrisinghealing.com/retreat-2026"><strong>Becoming Together: A Mother Daughter Retreat</strong></a> - hosted by myself and my two daughters in Sedona, Arizona on September 8 - 12th.</p><p><strong>Get support for your children: </strong><a href="https://www.morganellsworthcoaching.com/home-1">Witnessed Group Coaching</a> program led by Morgan Ellsworth. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Morgan Ellsworth: </strong><a href="mailto:morgan.ellswroth98@gmail.com"><strong>morgan.ellsworth98@gmail.com</strong></a></p><p><strong>Instagram: </strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/healing.betrayed.families?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw=="><strong>@healing.betrayed.families </strong></a></p><p><strong>Podcast: </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/healing-betrayed-families/id1865724488"><strong>Healing Betrayed Families</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Enjoyed This Episode?</strong></p><p>If this conversation resonated with you, here are three ways you can support the show:</p><p>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5zV0oep3zEx178Vrcn0xQM?si=Jg7KzTU9Sw2IjcB5AyHVnA&nd=1"><strong>Leave a Review<
