HOW TRAUMA-INFORMED
LEADERSHIP BEGINS AT HOME
BY CATHY DOMONEY
s a mother of five, a trauma-informed
consultant to high-level
professionals, and the founder of The
Backyard Peace Project, I know
firsthand what it means to hold space
for healing, both at home and in the
workplace, and within ourselves.
That means choosing presence in the
middle of the pressure. Choosing to
lead not just with ambition, but with
alignment. And knowing that
parenting, when done consciously, is
one of the most sacred and effective
trauma-prevention strategies we
have.
For over two decades, I’ve worked intimately with parents
and leaders to transform hidden trauma into clarity,
power, and purpose. I’ve come to understand that peace
in the world starts with peace within, and that the most
radical legacy work we can do is to become the most
connected version of ourselves.
