Many of the moms I work with are incredibly successful.
They're lawyers.
Architects.
Therapists.
Business owners.
Corporate leaders.
They're resilient, disciplined, organised, and exceptionally good at solving problems.
So why does motherhood make so many of them feel like they're failing?
In this episode, I’m exploring why the very strengths that help us succeed professionally can sometimes work against us at home.
You'll discover why children don't need better management - they need emotional leadership - and why trying to "fix" parenting the same way we solve problems at work often leaves us feeling even more frustrated.
In this episode:
- Why career success doesn't automatically translate into parenting confidence
- The hidden difference between project management and emotional leadership
- Why children respond to your nervous system before your words
- What many high-achieving mums unknowingly miss
- Why connection always comes before behaviour management
- The deeper reason parenting often feels so emotionally exhausting

Do you feel like you're constantly stuck between being too nice and suddenly exploding at your strong-willed child?
You're not alone.
In this episode, Alena shares a recent situation with her own daughter and explains why the real challenge wasn't the child's behavior - it was what that behaviour triggered inside her own nervous system.
Together, we'll explore why so many loving parents struggle with power struggles, why parenting techniques often disappear under pressure, and why the answer isn't becoming stricter or more permissive.
Instead, we'll look at the generational patterns that shape the way we react when we feel ignored, disrespected, or out of control.
In this episode:
- Why strong-willed children trigger us so deeply
- The hidden reason parenting scripts stop working
- Why healthy authority starts with your nervous system
- The difference between boundaries and control
- How generational patterns create power struggles
- The first step towards becoming a calm, predictable leader

Why does saying "no" to your kids feel so much harder than it should?
You know boundaries are important.
You know your kids need them.
So why do you keep:
- explaining one more time,
- giving one more chance,
- feeling guilty every time they get upset,
- and end up exploding anyway?
For years, I thought I had a boundary problem.
I didn't.
I had a nervous system that had learned, long before I became a mom, that standing up for myself wasn't safe. And that the only effective boundary is punishment - which I hated as a child, and did not want to repeat as a mother.
In this episode, I share one small memory from my own childhood that completely changed how I understand:
- people-pleasing
- guilt
- healthy boundaries
- and why so many loving mums struggle to say "no."
If you've ever thought:
"Why do I feel like such a bad mom every time I set a boundary?"
...this episode is for you.
In this episode you'll learn:
✔ Why boundaries feel so uncomfortable for many moms
✔ Where people-pleasing really comes from
✔ Why parenting advice alone isn't enough
✔ Why anger isn't the problem, but a signal
✔ How your childhood still influences your parenting today
✔ The missing step before gentle parenting techniques actually work

Has anyone ever told you that you are too soft with your kids? And is there a part of you that agrees, but you refuse to go the other direction because you do not want your children growing up scared of you?
So you swing. Nice. Then strict. Then guilty. Then nice again.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena explains exactly why this pattern happens, why willpower and parenting books will never fix it, and what mental fitness actually is and why it is the only thing that gets you out of the swing for good.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why you swing between too nice and too strict and why it is a generational autopilot not a personal failing
- The two most common childhood patterns that create this swing in adulthood
- Why parenting scripts fail because they assume you are already calm when you need to use them
- Why staying calm on the outside while locking anger inside is more dangerous than yelling according to Dr Gabor Mate and Dr Joe Dispenza
- What mental fitness is and why it works in seconds rather than requiring an hour of yoga
- The third way between too nice and too strict and how to actually feel it in your nervous system
- Why your daughter is wiring everything she watches you do into her identity every single day
- How to apply to be coached live on the Zen Supermom podcast

Have you ever locked yourself in the bathroom to avoid losing it with your kids? Only for them to knock on the door two minutes later and make everything ten times worse?
You are not alone. And it is not working because removing yourself was never the real solution.
In this updated episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena revisits the mental fitness topic she first introduced in Episode 18 back in February 2023, this time going deeper with a live exercise you can try right now and a breakdown of the specific stress coping patterns that are keeping you stuck.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why removing yourself from stressful situations with your kids often makes things worse
- Where mental fitness originally came from and why it was developed for people under extreme professional pressure
- A live mental fitness exercise you can do right now anywhere without leaving the room
- Why parenting scripts, gentle parenting techniques, and ChatGPT advice all fail when your nervous system is dysregulated
- The step zero that every parenting course skips and why it is the only thing that will actually make the difference
- How to identify your specific stress coping pattern and where it came from
- Why your pattern goes directly back to whose approval you craved most as a child
- How mental fitness creates the space between trigger and reaction that changes everything
Alena also shares details about a new 6-week beta mental fitness program she is designing. If you are interested, reach out directly.

You swore you would never sound like your mum. And then one day her exact words came out of your mouth. And you stood there wondering what just happened.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena explains exactly why this happens, what is going on in your nervous system in that moment, and what it actually takes to stop it permanently.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why you sound like your mum when you lose it even though you promised yourself you never would
- Why the pattern goes much deeper than simply copying what your parents did
- What is actually happening in your nervous system in the moment your parents' words come out of your mouth
- The deep fear of not feeling safe that is underneath every single mummy tantrum

- Why your busy busy busy coping pattern is actually keeping you stuck
- How long it actually takes to rewire the generational pattern and why waiting is costing your kids more than you realize

You did not sleep. Again. And now you have a full day ahead, kids to manage, and a voice in your head already telling you it is going to be a terrible day.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena shares the 3 steps she uses to get through a productive day even on no sleep, without snapping at her kids and without burning herself out.
This is not about pushing harder. It is not about spa days. It is about understanding why the mental suffering on tired days is actually optional, and what the real root of the problem is.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why lack of sleep is not actually the reason you lose your patience with your kids
- The concept of learned helplessness and how it connects to your childhood
- Step 1 How to catch the poor me story and create space between the feeling and your reaction
- Step 2 What taking care of yourself actually means, starting with asking for help without feeling guilty
- Step 3 The big picture helicopter view and the 99 year old grandma exercise that puts any exhausted day into perspective
- Why the mental suffering on tired days is optional even when the physical exhaustion is completely real
- Why taking care of yourself on no-sleep days is the most important thing you can do for your kids

You planned the entire summer vacation. Great place to stay. Fun activities. Delicious food. You spent the money, gave up sleep, and organized every detail so your family could have an amazing time and memories.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena Gomes Rodrigues explains why moms who cannot enjoy holidays with their kids are not dealing with planning stress or a kid’s behavior problem. They are dealing with a generational pattern that was wired in their nervous system long before their children were born.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why you cannot enjoy holidays with your kids and why stress and planning have nothing to do with it
- What is actually happening in your nervous system when you feel helpless and resentful on holiday
- How Alena realized she was re-enacting her own mother's exact holiday patterns without knowing it
- The generational belief that tells women it is selfish to enjoy yourself while others are not yet happy
- Why the people pleaser and the resentful martyr are two sides of the same wound
- How to start catching the inner dialogue that is running your holidays on autopilot
- Why this is actually good news and how one internal shift changes the whole experience

You have seen the ads. Cartoon children doing brain activation exercises. A nervous system regulation program that promises to turn your dysregulated, tantrum-throwing child into a calm cooperative little human.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena explains why buying a nervous system regulation course for your kids will not solve the problem. And why that is actually good news.
Because the real issue is not your child's nervous system. It is yours. And rewiring that changes everything.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why nervous system regulation courses for kids are like putting a bandaid on a broken arm
- How your nervous system is the WiFi your kids are permanently connected to, and why no app works on a spotty signal
- What parenting as leadership actually means in practice
- The long term damage that happens when children are made responsible for their parent's emotional regulation
- What healthy anger expression looks like for both you and your kids, and why suppressed anger causes physical disease
- A live nervous system regulation exercise you can do right now, anywhere, without anyone noticing
- Why you do not need years of therapy to rewire this and how quickly real change can happen
This episode is for the mom who has been trying everything for her kids and has not yet been told to start with herself. You are not the problem. But you are the solution.

Every year it happens. Mother's Day arrives. He forgets. Or he buys something last minute that shows he did not think about it at all. And you are left feeling invisible, resentful, and wondering what is wrong with you.
In this Mother's Day special episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena shares the real reason why his forgotten gift hurts so much, and why the answer has nothing to do with him.
Main takeaways from this episode:
- The reason you feel invisible when he forgets Mother's Day is a generational pattern rooted in childhood, not a reflection of your relationship
- Most moms swing between two extremes — the people pleasing doormat who needs external validation to feel worthy, and the isolated ice queen who powers through alone — both are rooted in the same wound
- Your kids are not listening to what you say about relationships. They are watching what you do
- The five love languages explain why you and your partner may both be expressing love and still missing each other completely
- It is not your partner's job to make you feel loved — and understanding why is actually the most empowering thing you will hear today
- Giving conditionally while expecting something back is not unconditional love — and recognizing the difference is the first step to breaking the cycle
- The 3 steps to start seeing the pattern, validating your feelings, and rewiring toward genuine self-worth that does not depend on any external validation
This episode is for the mom who is tired of one day a year making her question her entire worth. The pattern can be broken. And it stops with you.

BUZZSPROUT DESCRIPTION
You tried AI parenting advice. It sounded perfect. You still yelled.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena Gomes Rodrigues breaks down exactly why AI parenting coaching fails in the moments that matter and what is actually happening in the 3 seconds before a mom loses control with her kids.
Main takeaways from this episode:
AI is designed to answer questions and make you feel validated, not to show you the full picture or address the root cause of your reactions. Most moms are asking AI the wrong question entirely. The right question is not how do I manage my child's behavior but what is happening inside me in the 3 seconds before I lose it. Anger is a symptom of your fight or flight response being triggered, not a character flaw or a stress problem. Behavioral advice, whether from AI, a parenting coach, or anger management therapy, only treats the surface. The 3 steps to lasting change are awareness, building space between emotion and reaction, and rewiring the reaction itself at the subconscious level. This is a learnable skill, not a personality trait.
This episode is for the mom who has read every book, tried every technique, and is still struggling. The problem was never the advice. It was what you could not see underneath.

You hold it together at work all day. Then you walk through the front door and completely lose it with your kids. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
In this episode Alena breaks down the real reason professional moms snap at home even when they are perfectly capable of handling pressure at work. It has nothing to do with your parenting skills and everything to do with a pattern that was wired into your nervous system long before your kids ever pushed your buttons.
You will learn why anger is a symptom not a problem, what you were actually feeling in the moment before you last yelled, why your childhood set the emotional thermostat you are still running on today, and the 3 things it takes to rewire the pattern for good.
This is not about doing more. It is about understanding what is actually happening so you can stop it.
Topics covered: mom rage, why moms yell, generational trauma, fight or flight stress response, good girl conditioning, people pleasing mom, nervous system and parenting, trauma informed parenting, professional mom burnout, calm parenting, mommy tantrum.

You have read every parenting book. You know it is not personal. You still snap. And then you hate yourself for it.
This episode is for the mom raising a child with trauma who is exhausted from trying to be everything her child needs while running completely empty herself.
In this episode Alena shares 5 steps to help your child process and heal their trauma faster, without becoming their emotional punching bag, without faking patience you do not have, and without sacrificing yourself in the process.
What you will learn:
- Why stopping the self blame is not optional and how guilt is draining your child's healing
- Why your own childhood patterns are the real reason you snap, even if you think you had a happy childhood
- How to set calm grounded boundaries with a traumatized child without punishment, threats, or bribing
- Why your child's misbehavior is never a personal attack, it is always a symptom and a cry for help
- Why self compassion is not selfish, it is the foundation your child's healing is built on
- Why you are the most powerful healer your child has, more than any therapist or specialist
Whether your child went through physical trauma, emotional trauma, bullying, or the complex layered pain that often comes with adoption, this episode meets you where you are.
And yes, one of the 5 steps is about you. Not because you are broken. But because you cannot give what you do not have.

If parenting scripts were all you need to make your kids listen, chatGPT would have won "The Parent of the Year" award by now...
But if you're struggling with helping your kids listen (without yelling, bribing or threatening them), it's not a lack of info, it's not a parenting problem, and it's not your kids' fault.
Hold your horses, it's not your fault either.
But let's have a look at what's really going on.
In this Zen Supermom Podcast episode, let's unpack:
- What are the 3 things that parenting coaches don't want you to find out
- Why you do NOT want your kids to listen & be obedient 100% always, whenever
- What needs to happen first before you can set healthy boundaries and natural consequences
And if you learn better by not just listening, but watching a well-structured info on the screen, so that you can take notes, then join me over for one of the LIVE Mommy Tantrum Masterclasses.
So that I can also answer any of your "yes, but..." questions and go deeper with this.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Alena

Why can’t you calm down even when you know better?
You’ve read the parenting books.
Learned the scripts.
You know your child’s nervous system is wired to yours.
You know yelling isn’t the answer.
And yet… when your child says no, moves too slowly, ignores you, or pushes one more button, your body takes over.
You snap.
You yell.
You lose access to everything you “know.”
So what’s missing?
In this episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast, we explore why information and good intentions are not enough - and why the real shift has to happen in the body, not just in the brain.
This episode is more experiential than usual.
We talk about:
- why your smart brain disappears when you’re triggered
- why your body doesn’t respond to logic in those moments
- why positive thinking and willpower often fail under pressure
- what it means to create a “pocket of peace” before things go sideways
- how to start practicing calm as a state you can access — not just understand
- and why this matters so much if you want to become the safe, grounded parent your child’s nervous system can learn from
If you’ve ever thought:
“I know better… so why can’t I calm down?”

How do you stop other people’s judgment and unwanted advice from getting under your skin?
Not when it comes from random strangers online.
That’s easier to ignore.
But when it comes from someone close - your mom, a friend, a colleague, someone who should understand you - but their judgmental "well-meant" advice or comment stays with you for hours, days, sometimes even longer.
You replay the conversation.
You feel misunderstood, hurt, and angry.
And no matter how much you try to “just let it go,” you're stuck thinking about how unfair that was.
So what do you actually do with that?
In this new episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast, we unpack why certain comments hit so deeply - and why it’s not really about the words themselves.
We talk about:
- why judgment from close people affects you differently
- why you keep replaying these conversations in your head
- how to stop carrying other people’s emotional “stuff” with you
- and how to respond from a calm, grounded place instead of reacting from the hurt
This is not about escalating fights or shutting down your feelings.
It’s about learning how to stay in your calm, grounded self - even when someone else makes a comment that makes you feel judged and not good enough.

You’ve read the parenting books.
Taken the courses.
Tried the scripts.
Maybe even done years of therapy.
And yet… you still lose your patience with your kids.
You wake up every morning promising yourself:
today I won’t yell.
Today I’ll stay calm.
Today I’ll hold the boundaries without snapping, threatening, or exploding.
And then it happens again.
So what’s going on?
In this episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast, I break down why parenting courses and therapy often still don’t stop the yelling - even when you’re smart, self-aware, and trying so hard.
We talk about:
- why parenting techniques disappear when you’re triggered
- why talking about your stress is not the same as rewiring it
- why burnout coaching, CBT, EMDR, hypnotherapy, and even years of therapy may bring relief but still miss the root
- why your reactions with your kids are often tied to much older nervous system patterns
- how high-achieving, people-pleasing, controlling, and perfectionist moms get stuck in the same cycle
- and what actually needs to happen if you want calm to become real - not just something you understand in theory
This episode is for the mom who feels:
- “I’ve already done so much. Why am I still like this?”
- “Maybe I’m broken.”
- “Maybe this just can’t change.”
You’re not broken.
And this is not your fault.
But there probably is something important you’ve been missing.

Most moms I meet already know the parenting techniques.
They’ve read the books.
Taken the courses.
Practiced the scripts.
And often, they can stay calm when there’s no pressure.
But when life squeezes you — Monday morning rush, bedtime battles, work deadlines, no support — something takes over.
You snap.
You yell.
You lose control.
And the conclusion most moms reach is:
“It’s because I’m overwhelmed.”
In this episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast, we unpack why that explanation makes sense — but still doesn’t fully solve the problem.
You’ll learn:
• why stress triggers yelling but isn’t the real root
• why trying to control life more actually makes things worse
• how childhood stress patterns show up in parenting
• why your kids are watching your reactions more than your words
• and what it really takes to stay calm under pressure
This isn’t about becoming a perfect parent.
It’s about understanding what actually drives your reactions — so you can change them.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I know better… so why do I still lose it?”

How do you stop a toddler from hitting, spitting, or throwing food… without yelling, punishing, or losing control?
Most parenting advice will tell you what to say to your child.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Parenting techniques are often the last thing that actually helps in these moments.
Because when your child spits at you, hits a sibling, or smiles while breaking the rule again…
it’s not just a behavior problem.
It becomes personal.
You feel disrespected.
Ignored.
Out of control.
And in that moment, every parenting script you’ve read disappears.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast, we talk about:
- why toddlers test boundaries (and why they smile while doing it)
- why parenting techniques fail when you're already triggered
- how your reaction teaches your child more than your words
- the hidden “power struggle” dynamic many parents accidentally reinforce
- how your own childhood patterns influence your reactions
- what emotional leadership actually looks like in real time
- and one simple thing you can start doing today to handle these moments differently
This episode is not about perfect parenting.
It’s about becoming the calm emotional leader your child needs — especially when things get messy.

when it’s Monday morning, you’re late, your kids aren’t listening, and the pressure hits,
you still lose control.
This episode explains why knowing why you yell is not enough to stop the yelling - and why awareness alone collapses exactly when it matters most.
We talk about:
- why insight and information disappear under stress
- why your logical brain checks out in “go time” moments
- why therapy and self-reflection can feel relieving but not stabilizing
- why calm doesn’t come from understanding, but from something else entirely
- why this pattern didn’t start with you - and why that matters for your kids
This is not another “how to stop yelling” episode.
There are no scripts, tips, or techniques to memorize.
It’s an orientation to help you stop blaming yourself and stop chasing the wrong solution.
If you’ve ever thought:
“I know what’s going on… so why can’t I control myself?”
This episode is for you.

Jen was not the mom who yelled all the time.
She was the mom who held it together.
Who stayed composed.
Who looked calm.
Who swallowed the rage until it turned into shutdown, resentment, and emotional distance.
From the outside, everything looked fine.
Inside, her nervous system was on fire.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast, Jen shares what happened when she realized that not yelling does not automatically mean emotional safety. She opens up about the hidden patterns underneath her reactions, the people pleasing, the freeze response, and the generational conditioning that taught her to disappear instead of express.
This conversation is for moms who:
- Rarely yell but feel emotionally disconnected or numb
- Shut down when things get overwhelming
- Struggle to set boundaries without guilt
- Feel pressure to be the calm one at all costs
- Wonder why therapy and insight helped them understand but not change
Inside this episode, you will hear:
- Why emotional shutdown is just as important to heal as yelling
- How freeze and people pleasing are nervous system survival responses
- Why calm on the outside does not equal safety on the inside
- How Jen learned to stay present without suppressing herself
- What changed in her parenting once her nervous system felt safe
This is not about becoming a softer mom.
It is about becoming a regulated one.

What do you do when your life starts falling apart?
You’re in pain 24/7.
You’re not sleeping.
Your baby won’t settle.
Your nervous system is stuck in survival.
Your marriage feels like it’s breaking.
And everyone has a different “solution”:
- pain meds or physical recovery support
- postpartum depression diagnosis + medication
- therapy
- couple counseling
- yoga, mindfulness, breathing…
But what if you don’t have time to do 10 different things - and none of them are actually fixing the root?
In this Zen Supermom Podcast episode, Jacqueline shares her real story:
A traumatic birth + months of constant physical pain (and not being believed) The shame of yelling at her baby at just 4 months old Feeling distant, resentful, angry, and “not made for motherhood” How postpartum depression explained part of it — but didn’t solve it Why she kept trying to push through with willpower Why her marriage started falling apart What she uncovered underneath (hyper-achiever + controller patterns, early childhood layers, and deeper trauma) And what changed in just a few months:
- deep bonding and love with her son
- presence and joy in daily life
- a transformed marriage (teamwork, communication, peace)
- flexibility, less control, and more ease
If you’ve ever thought:
“I should be happy… so why do I feel rage?”
“Why do I feel nothing with my baby?”
“Why is motherhood bringing out the worst in me?”

January is the most dangerous month for moms who want to stop yelling at their kids.
Because January convinces you the problem is motivation.
“Try harder.”
“Be calmer.”
“Use better parenting tools.”
“Read the books.”
“Do the courses.”
And if you’re a smart, strong, loving mom… you will try.
Hard.
But then the same cycle comes back:
yelling → apologizing → being nice 1000 times → over-explaining → no boundaries → yelling again.
In this first episode of the Zen Supermom Podcast of 2026, I break down what most parenting advice ignores:
Why it’s not really about your child (even when they trigger you) Why suppressing anger makes the “volcano” build up Why yoga, meditation, and mindfulness often don’t work in the moment Why gentle parenting can feel like manipulation if you don’t have healthy boundaries The missing “healthy in-between” (beyond people-pleasing or yelling) The trauma spectrum: shock trauma vs developmental trauma (1,000 paper cuts) How conditional love creates hyper-achieving, controlling, people-pleasing patterns Why your nervous system and identity were shaped long before you became a mom What actually helped me become calm under pressure - without years of talk therapy
This episode is a truth bomb, but it’s also a permission slip:
There’s nothing wrong with you.

She had a degree in neuroscience.
She understood the amygdala, stress responses, emotional regulation…
And yet she was still yelling at her 3-year-old daughter, over and over again.
Yoga didn’t help.
Mindfulness didn’t help.
Positive affirmations didn’t help.
And despite having loving parents and a “good childhood,” Mona found herself stuck in a cycle she couldn’t think her way out of.
In this powerful episode, Mona shares:
- Why knowledge alone can’t stop your nervous system from exploding
- How “good girl conditioning” turns into people-pleasing and avoidant parenting
- Why she believed her low self-confidence was her personality (when it wasn’t)
- How her inner child and generational patterns were running her reactions
- The exact moment she realized: “This goes much deeper than tools.”
- The transformation she experienced inside the Zen Supermom Program
- How her daughter’s behavior and their connection changed
- How healing her patterns helped her at work, in her marriage, and even with phone calls
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I know the theory, so why can’t I DO better?”
- “I had a happy childhood… so why am I reacting like this?”
- “Maybe this is just who I am…”
... you need to hear this.

You’ve read the books. You know child psychology. You understand that your kids are supposed to test boundaries, move at their own pace, have big emotions… and most of the time you are the calm, patient mom.
Until you’re tired. Rushed. Overwhelmed. Hungry. Late for school again.
And then you yell. Just like your mom yelled at you – even though you promised yourself you’d be different. You keep thinking:
“I don’t need more theory. I just need the tools!”
In this episode of the Zen Superman Podcast, I break down why more information is not the answer – and what “tools” actually mean when it comes to stopping mommy tantrums for good.
We talk about:
- Why your logical, super‑educated brain “checks out” when you’re triggered
- How your unhealed inner child hijacks your body and reactions in seconds
- The concept of “1,000 paper cuts” generational developmental trauma – even if you had a “good” childhood
- Why classic therapies and more parenting courses often don’t touch this pattern
- The 2 pillars you really need instead:
- Healing your inner child (so she stops taking over)
- Mental Fitness: rewiring your autopilot so you don’t repeat how your parents handled stress
- What changes when you build a healthy blueprint of unconditional love + boundaries
- Why “I’ll fix it later when they’re older” is one of the most expensive lies we tell ourselves as moms
If you’re the mom who says:
- “I know what I should do, but in the moment I just lose it.”
- “I’m terrified I’m becoming my mom – and my kids will sit in therapy because of me.”
- “I’ve done all the parenting courses, but I still don’t have the tools that actually work under pressure…”
…this episode was recorded for you.
Listen now and start breaking the generational cycle – without trying to be a perfect, always‑nice mom.

Have you ever told yourself,
“It’s my responsibility to make everyone happy”?
If so, this episode is for you.
Because that sentence isn’t your personality.
It’s not your “strength.”
And it’s definitely not your purpose.
It’s a generational trauma pattern that turned your empathy into over-responsibility…
your intuition into hypervigilance…
and your caring nature into exhaustion.
In this episode, we go deep into the truth behind this pattern:
Why you feel responsible for everyone’s emotions Why you’re pulled to help people who don’t want help Why your kindness sometimes gets rejected or resented Why you can see other people’s patterns… but can’t stop yours And how to finally break free - without becoming “cold” or “selfish”
You’ll hear:
Why high-achieving, self-aware, ultra-sensitive women fall into this trap How childhood roles (parentification, emotional caretaking, walking on eggshells) shape adult behavior Why knowledge is not enough to stop the cycle The moment your helping turns into proving, or saving, or trying to earn worth And the exact place where healing must begin
If you’ve ever felt drained, unseen, unappreciated, or resentful despite your big heart and good intentions - this episode will hit home.
This isn’t about stopping your empathy.
It’s about rewiring the pattern that uses your gifts against you.
Listen/watch now and learn how to turn your sensitivity back into your superpower - without sacrificing yourself.

Parenting techniques didn’t fail us, they broke us.
Even moms with “happy childhoods,” therapy degrees, or calm voices can still find themselves yelling, shutting down, or people-pleasing. Why? Because most parenting methods focus on behavior, not the root: unhealed generational developmental trauma.
In this raw and eye-opening episode, Alena Gomes Rodrigues, creator of Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning (IDTR) and author of I Yelled, I Cried, I Healed, explains why even the most well-intentioned parents unconsciously pass on emotional wounds and how healing your nervous system changes everything. In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why CBT and parenting scripts don’t rewire emotional patterns
- How “good childhoods” can still create people-pleasing, overachieving moms
- The hidden trauma psychologists aren’t trained to recognize
- Why stress, ADHD, or burnout aren’t the real reason for yelling
- How IDTR helps moms create emotional safety for their children without perfectionism
This is your invitation to stop parenting from trauma and start healing with compassion, clarity, and confidence.

What happens when therapy doesn’t help you stop yelling — but something else does?
This week’s Zen Supermom Podcast shares Monika’s journey. As an expatriate mom of a toddler, she often lost control of her emotions. When her daughter kicked or hit, Monika reacted with shouting, guilt, and frustration. Therapy didn’t help her break the cycle, and she feared she was passing on the same patterns she grew up with.

Monika learned how to stay grounded, set safe boundaries, and stop passing emotional baggage onto her daughter.
Her transformation didn’t stop at home. She trained as a trauma specialist, then became one of the first Zen Supermom coaches certified in IDTR. Now she helps other moms heal the same cycles she once struggled with.
In this episode you will hear:
- Why therapy alone couldn’t stop her yelling
- How IDTR helped her break generational trauma patterns
- The exact tools she uses to stay calm and grounded with her daughter
- Why boundaries are loving, not harsh — and how to set them without guilt
- How Monika turned her pain into purpose and joined the Zen Supermom coaching team
This story is for moms who want to stop yelling, set healthy boundaries, and raise emotionally resilient kids — without passing on trauma. Watch or listen now to hear how Monika transformed her life and her parenting with IDTR.

You’ve tried to stop yelling. You know what to do. So why does it still happen?
If trying harder was the answer, you’d already be a Zen master by now.
In this episode, I break down why willpower, discipline, and even brain science aren’t enough to stop the yelling—and what actually works instead.
You’ll hear the story of a neuroscientist mom who knew exactly how the stress response worked… and still lost it with her daughter. Because yelling isn’t about knowing better. It’s about what’s been running underneath for decades.
You’ll learn: Why calm parenting isn’t about “trying harder” What hidden trauma patterns get triggered when kids don’t listen How to shift your mornings without scripts or guilt A powerful story of generational healing—where the child now models emotional safety
This isn’t another parenting pep talk. It’s a wake-up call.
Not to push harder—but to finally stop repeating the patterns that were never yours to carry.
Hit play and let’s break the cycle—together.

Are you tired of feeling like your kids are the reason you lose control? Here’s the truth: your yelling isn’t about the tantrums, the morning rush, or even the lack of support at home. The real cause lies in the patterns you’ve been carrying since your own childhood.
In this episode, I’ll show you the fastest way to break the cycle:
Step 1: Heal the childhood patterns showing up in your parenting.
Step 2: Rewire the automatic habits of yelling, stressing, and snapping.
When you stop focusing on “fixing” your kids and start working on yourself, everything changes—the atmosphere in your home, the way your kids listen, and the calm you finally feel inside.

Martina is a loving mom of three, living abroad with no support network.
She had a “happy childhood.” A caring mom. No big trauma.
So why did she keep yelling at her kids?
Why did every small mess trigger a screaming match?
And why couldn’t she stop—even though she hated how it felt?
In this episode, Martina shares how things spiraled from gentle parenting intentions… to guilt, burnout, and near-daily explosions.
She tried the parenting scripts. The podcasts. The logic. Nothing stuck.
In her words:
“I thought I needed more patience. But I needed to heal what was buried underneath.” In this conversation, we explore:
- Why moms with “no trauma” still snap—and what’s really going on
- The invisible pain of not feeling good enough, even with a good upbringing
- How she stopped yelling at her kids—and made peace with her own mom, too
- What changed when she found tools that actually rewired her stress response
Her joy is real. Her story is powerful.
And her message is clear: You don’t need to suffer just because life is loud.
Listen or watch now—and share this with a mom who thinks she “should have it together by now.

Or the men you love who struggle with anger, withdrawal, or emotional shutdown around their kids.
In this powerful anonymous conversation, a father of two shares what it was like to feel hijacked by explosive reactions—and why therapy, CBT, and intellectual insight weren’t enough. He opens up about the hidden roots of his triggers, the moment he chose to get help, and how he rewired his reactions without shame or a diagnosis.
Whether you’re a dad who loses control—or a mom wishing your partner would finally seek support—this story will give you hope for real change.

In this episode, I’m speaking to the mom who’s also a teacher, therapist, coach—or simply someone who feels called to help others—but is still struggling with yelling, burnout, or self-doubt at home.
You know what to do. You’ve done the healing work.
But there’s still that voice that whispers:
“You’re not ready.”
“Who are you to help anyone?”
“You’re still messing it up at home…”
I’ve been there too.
In this episode, I share:
- My own story of pivoting from corporate coaching to healing work while still in the mess
- Why your imperfection is actually what qualifies you to lead
- How to stop letting the judge in your head run your life
- The mindset shift that changed everything for me—and my clients
- And why progress, not perfection, is the new leadership
You don’t have to be “done” to start helping. You just have to be a few steps ahead.
This is your permission to rise anyway.

In this episode, I share something personal: what happened when I committed to writing my book… and then immediately felt the weight of it.
This isn’t just about writing. It’s about that moment when a dream lights you up—then resistance pulls you down.
You start asking:
“Do I really have time for this?”
“What if I fail?”
“Who do I think I am?”
Sound familiar?
Whether it’s healing, parenting, or chasing a deeper purpose, we all hit that wall. And in this episode, I show you what helped me shift—not by pushing harder, but by reconnecting with vision, identity, and joy.
You'll hear:
- Why most moms lose momentum (and how to get it back)
- How to create a “moonshot” goal that pulls you forward
- Why micro-habits matter more than willpower
- What I learned from a client who almost gave up—and didn’t
Plus, I’ll share the bigger mission I’m building, and how you’re already part of it.
Let’s dream bigger—without burning out. Listen now and then message me: What’s your moonshot?

In this raw and emotional episode, Ruby — now part of my team — shares the truth behind her burnout, hidden guilt, and silent implosions as a mother. Unlike many Zen Supermom clients, Ruby didn’t explode at her kids — she disappeared. Emotionally checked out, exhausted, and stuck in chronic people-pleasing, she thought this was just who she was.
Until she realized it wasn’t.
Join us as she talks about what changed, how she rewired deep-rooted patterns from childhood, and how her healing gave her kids a safer, more connected version of her — and gave her back herself.

Are you exhausted from trying gentle parenting techniques that just don't stick? If you've read all the books, learned the scripts, but still find yourself yelling at your kids when you're stressed or running late, this episode is for you.
In this raw and honest conversation, I break down the 3 most common reasons why gentle parenting fails - and spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with your kids or needing better techniques.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why you can't execute gentle parenting scripts when you're triggered (and what to focus on instead)
- The difference between healthy boundaries and punishment - and why most of us never learned this
- How generational trauma shows up in your parenting moments and keeps you stuck in old patterns
- Why healing your own childhood wounds is the key to becoming the calm, grounded parent you want to be
This episode is perfect for you if:
- You believe in connection-based parenting but struggle to stay calm when your kids push your buttons
- You find yourself turning into your own parents when stressed, even though you swore you'd do things differently
- You're tired of feeling guilty about yelling and want to break the cycle for good
Remember: You're an amazing mom. It's not your fault that gentle parenting hasn't worked yet - you just need to start in the right place. And that place is YOU.
Ready to heal your generational trauma and become the parent you've always wanted to be? This episode will show you exactly where to start.

In this deeply moving interview, Jeanette shares one of the most powerful transformation stories I've ever witnessed - how healing her own childhood wounds completely freed her 7-year-old daughter's spirit in just three months.
As a Mexican expatriate mom living in the Netherlands with no support system, Jeanette was trapped in an overwhelming cycle. Her daughter had begun hearing "voices" that told her not to trust her mom, to fight her brother, and that she was "silly" - the exact same critical voices Jeanette had heard as a child growing up as the third of four children with little attention and no emotional support.
The little girl had become the classic "good girl" - quiet, compliant, always focusing on what was wrong instead of finding joy. She was unconsciously repeating the same wounded patterns her mother had learned.
Despite trying psychologists, parenting courses, and religious guidance, nothing created lasting change until Jeanette discovered the connection between her childhood wounds and her daughter's suffering.
In this raw, honest conversation, Jeanette reveals:
- How growing up as the third of four children with no emotional support created patterns she was unconsciously repeating
- The specific brain exercises that helped her regain control of her emotions in just one week
- How her transformation affected not just her parenting, but her work relationships and life decisions
- The moment she realized her "good girl" daughter was repeating generational patterns
- Her brave decision to pursue divorce and create a healthier future for her children
What makes this episode particularly powerful is witnessing Jeanette's courage - someone who usually "sits in the back" stepping forward to share her story publicly for the first time.
If you're feeling trapped by your circumstances, overwhelmed by your emotions, or wondering if real change is possible - Jeanette's story proves that healing can happen faster than you think, and that courage can emerge from the most difficult situations.

In this powerful interview, Ines shares how she transformed from a constantly triggered, yelling mom to creating a peaceful home in just four months.
As a working mom managing solo parenting during the week, Ines found herself screaming at her six-year-old son, her partner, and even colleagues at work. Despite trying mental load coaching, parenting books, and even inner child workbooks, nothing seemed to create lasting change.
The breakthrough? Discovering that her uncontrollable reactions weren't about her son's behavior at all, but about wounds from her own childhood - where she was the "responsible" middle child, never allowed to play, and never told she was loved unconditionally.
In this raw, honest conversation, Ines reveals:
- The specific situations that used to trigger her worst mommy tantrums
- How she went from dreading bedtime to creating a peaceful routine
- The shocking moment her own mother said "I love you too" for the first time
- How healing her triggers saved her relationship with her partner
If you've tried everything to stop yelling at your kids but nothing has worked, this episode reveals why - and shows how healing your own childhood wounds can transform not just your parenting, but every relationship in your life.
The ripple effect of this healing extends to three generations - proving it's never too late to break generational patterns.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the real story behind my 3-year shaved head journey – and why I'm now letting my hair grow again.
This isn't a beauty update. It's a healing revelation.
For generations, women in my family measured their worth through appearance and achievement. Always proving. Never enough. I inherited this painful pattern, relying on my looks and intelligence to feel worthy of love and belonging.
When I finally began healing this generational wound, my razor became an unexpected ally. By shaving my head, I wasn't rejecting beauty – I was rejecting the need for external validation.
In this episode, I reveal:
- How my shaved head became physical proof I no longer needed others' approval
- The unexpected freedom I found in letting go of my "pretty girl" identity
- Why growing my hair now isn't a step backward, but a sign of deeper healing
- How our appearance choices often reflect our internal healing journey
Whether you've struggled with beauty standards or fought to break free from generational patterns, this episode invites you to look beyond the surface and recognize how our external choices can reflect our internal healing.
Your appearance journey might look different from mine – but the path toward feeling whole, worthy, and free always begins within.
Here's my video of my hair story: Why I shaved my head - aka how much do you really care about what others think of you?

Ever feel like you have a "dark side" that comes out when you yell at your kids?
I used to think my mommy tantrums were proof I was broken. That if people saw this side of me, they'd run away. I'd end up alone.
And I realized I felt that way even before I became a mom. Always hiding or changing who I was, to make people like me.
But guess what? There is no dark side.
In this episode, I share the truth that changed everything for me:
What if those mommy tantrums and your strong emotions in general aren't evidence of your failure, but signals from unhealed parts of yourself desperate to be integrated?
In this episode, I reveal:
Why your "worst" parenting moments are actually generational healing trying to happen
How to recognize when your inner child—not your adult self—is reacting to your kids (or adults)
The liberating truth that transforms shame into healing opportunity
What becomes possible when you integrate these wounded parts instead of hiding them
If you've ever looked at yourself after yelling at your kids and thought, "Who is this monster?", this episode will change how you see yourself forever.
This isn't just about becoming a calmer parent. It's about becoming whole by reclaiming the parts of yourself you've been taught to reject.

My personal story about setting boundaries with adult bullies or strangers is in the context of racism. But I use it as an example to unpack the general principles that are applicable in any situation where you feel verbally/emotionally attacked by another adult.
I share it also as a big-picture inspiration. Because you are not here just to be a mom.
You are and deserve to be so much more than that.
And so often it seems impossible to even imagine that you could ever feel good enough, not needing anyone's approval or validation...
So, wouldn't it be fun if...?
Wouldn't it be fun if you did not get triggered by other people's judgment or criticism?
Wouldn't it be fun if you could set healthy boundaries without shrinking or overreacting aggressively?
Wouldn't it be fun if you started liking who you are? :)

Her ex-husband asked for 50-50 custody of their toddler son.
And out of the desperation, afraid of staying all alone and abandoned, she bought a puppy for Christmas... Which turned out to be as much work as if she got a second child. While now she had to function as a single parent.
That was Barbara's recipe for uncontrollable "rage blowouts", as she called them.
So how did she turn it around in just 3 months?
Because even CBT for burnout did not really help before. Neither did the parenting books...
Listen to her story and see what becomes possible once you grab your problems by the roots.

I used to flip into a childish reaction whenever it was too much for me, my daughter didn't listen, we were running late, or she kept asking for more attention while I already gave her more than I ever got...
So in these moments, when I've had enough, I just started yelling, making mean faces or comments, or even wished I could hurt her back so that she would know how it feels...
It took me longer than I'd wish to admit.
But at least the good news is that not only I figured it out, and I'm able to be the safe adult, no matter how much drama and big emotions are flying around me.
But it worked for hundreds of moms inside the Zen Supermom program and thousands of women I helped through my free content...
So what are those two steps?
What do you need to stop reacting like a child when it gets too much?

Happy childhood as a kid, not yelling that much as a mom but feeling anger whenever things are not going according to plan...And then taking it out on her husband.
That's how Julia felt when we met. She called herself a perfectionist "control freak", and hyper-vigilant (insecure, lack of trust, afraid). And she had enough of it.
So what did we do with her exactly inside the Zen Supermom program?
And how is she doing now, 4 months later, as she's leaving the program?
Hear it from her directly...

How do you attract, create, or keep someone who loves you unconditionally?
And do you give your kids the feeling that they are loved and lovable no matter what?
So that they don't grow up being controlling, perfecting, hyper-achieving people-pleasers who feel like they need to earn your love? (Just like you probably did when you were little...)
The answer is: it starts with you.
You can't give to others what you are lacking yourself.
You can't attract a healthy, loving relationship if you don't feel worthy of being loved just the way you are right now. And if you don't respect your boundaries.
That's why, already 3 years ago, I designed a 31-day unconditional self-love practice.
Because it is a practice. There's no one quick fix.
And I'm sharing there the best, fastest, proven tools that helped hundreds of women I worked with directly, and thousands of others who just went through this practice alone.
It's free, and yet, it's powerful.
So grab it now and keep me posted about how it's working for you: https://www.zensupermom.com/31-day-unconditional-self-love
That's my Valentine's gift for you this year. :)
Because you deserve to feel worthy of love.

This mom deserves applause.
Shifting from an exploding, perfectionist victim into a woman who's not afraid to speak on camera without makeup about her painful past... That takes a ton of courage.
And it speaks volumes about how much healing she has done in the last 3 months.
So what helped her stop exploding in anger whenever her mom or partner would make her feel not heard or not good enough?
And what does she do now when her mom tries again...?
Listen in.
This woman is no exception. Each story of our Zen Supermom clients is different and unique. But they all have this in common.
You know you are not your pain.
And you'd love to stop draining your energy in this drama and start using it to make your dreams come true.
May this be your inspiration about what's possible when you heal.

It's ok to stop pretending all is going well if it's not.
And I know it's easier said than done when you were raised to suppress your emotions, smile, and do what's expected anyway...
But it's time to stop using crutches and comforting your pain through addictions, or even never-ending learning and thinking "I'll feel better when..."
Those are distractions and avoidance strategies. They won't help you put your life back on track and feel in control again.
So where do you even start?
Give yourself the permission to not feel ok.
And tune into this podcast episode so that you know you're not alone, and what's possible once you work through this.

- How do I know it's going to work for me?
- Are you even for real, or is this a fake AI scam?
- Why doesn't it cost just 300 EUR then when it takes so little?
- Why do you have no reviews on Google?

But even then, she had to practical way of dealing with those big emotions. No way of healing it.
So how did she get better in less than 3 months?
How did she find the time and money even to get started?
And how is she doing now, 3 months later?

If you grew up being forced to be a chameleon—to change your personality, hide your emotions, prove you're good enough, not to be criticized and shamed, always under pressure and under a microscope to be perfect, in control...
Then realizing this is all part of your childhood baggage that needs to be cleaned up, that can feel scary.
Because the next question is: Well, so who am I then?
What is the real me? If I don't need to mold and change myself not to trigger people around me for being too much, or not enough.
And what do I even want for myself?
Because so often you're spending all your time, energy, and thoughts on helping your kids grow up and live their dreams... But how about you? What would you wish to do, who do wish to be? How are you that living example of "anything is possible" and "dreams come true"?
How can you do that, even when you have a ton of responsibilities and a lot of people rely on you and your help?
Dive in with me.
There are 3 steps you can start taking right NOW. So that you find out who you are, and start making steps in that direction - no more self-sacrificing burned-out victims. You're taking your control back. You're the hero of your story. And you can do that even while taking care of your family. There's nothing selfish about that. On the contrary.
Let's go!

I'm going to unpack what exactly you have the power to change:

Scared of looking at where your uncontrollable anger comes from, and why you have trouble managing your big emotions?
It's completely normal, especially if you did already some talk therapy and all it did was remind you of all that past pain, making you feel like sh#t, without giving you any tools actually to stop it and feel good enough, happy, have a healthy self-confidence again... AND that ability to stop your emotions from jumping out uncontrollably.
But then what? So you'll keep blaming your anger, stress, and time pressure on your unhelpful kids and absent partner/spouse?
That won't help anything either, right?
So let's talk about it.
If you feel like you need help but you're afraid/scared to ask for it because you don't know what help to ask for, what to expect, or how much it would cost, ... let me unpack that all for you in this episode.
Sounds good?

"You're a bad person, shame on you!"
Ever felt judged that way?
If you grew up being a "good girl", shy, quiet, obedient... And then something snapped and you started standing up for yourself, feeling resentful and frustrated with people walking all over you?
So where is the right balance?
And how to not feel that deep pain of being judged, never quite feeling good enough, never safe to show/be who you are, because people wouldn't understand. How to stop feeling like you need to be the chameleon, just to blend in, not stick out too much, and stay behind the wall...
Because if you show your real safe, despite your good intentions and hard effort, they will unfairly judge you.
You have two options.
You can stay hiding, resentful about how NOT fair this is, feeling like there's something wrong with you.
Or you can start healing.
Because it's not about doing more, better, faster...
It's not about being quiet enough, more more loud to protect yourself.
The only way to feel ok, how to love yourself and all your beautiful (and not so fun) imperfections, how to use your strengths in a way that feels good (not just to compensate for the fear of being judged), ... the only way is to heal.
Only then it will all make sense and you will find peace and comfort in who you are.
That's what this Zen Supermom podcast episode is about.

It's completely normal to be skeptical when you see someone online presenting what they do...
The internet is full of "experts" and scammers these days, right?
The sentence that I hear the most often is that "it's too good to be true to stop yelling at my kids and start being in control of my emotions ( = less stress, less arguments, and power-fights, more peace and joy) in just 3 months"
So hear it from yourself from a mom who used to yell and stress, feeling completely powerless and clueless on how to make her daughter listen more, be on time, and make less mess. And she felt so guilty, after having tried so many parenting techniques and not much change.
So how did she stop yelling?
Why is she able to have fun and even be silly and playful, when nothing else changed about her life, and she still has the same load of responsibilities?
How come she managed to change it all in just 3.5 months?
Hear it from her directly.

So how do you help your kids manage their big emotions (especially if they created a drama over some silly little thing), without getting frustrated yourself?
What is the most important thing to keep in mind?
And why can no parenting script ever help you with this?
What are they missing?
Let's peel this onion one layer at a time. Your kids are lucky to have a parent who cares so much to want to help them.

If you grew up in a culture where authority and respect were forced by fear, then you might be struggling in all of your relationships (not just with your kids) on how to get the respect you deserve.
Because neither people pleasing (and needing to be liked, over-giving, being too nice/soft), nor yelling, bullying, punishing, and threatening... neither of those two extremes can ever give you long-term cooperation, authority, and respect.
So what if it was possible to get the respect that lasts while strengthening the relationship, as a win-win situation? Without any power struggles, having to prove who's stronger or has a more threatening leverage.
What if you could get the respect and authority you deserve not just with your kids, but also in adult relationships - at work, in family, ...?
How much would that help you in your life?
Let's dive in.
I can't wait to hear what you're going to get out of this episode!

Relationships with our own parents can get messy.
Especially if you see you started repeating some of their parenting mistakes, but just can't stop yourself.
So this podcast episode is for you if you:
- had a happy childhood, no trauma, your parents just yelled
- or your parents were not even yelling, but had you as their "safety blanket", their listening ear, and comfort because their life was too much for them
- or your parents did hurt you a lot and you're still angry with them
- maybe you even cut off that toxic relationship from your life but they keep coming back, trying to manipulate you...
No matter which of these is your case, there IS something you can do about it.
Let's dive into it together.

How did a single mom with a high-needs, high-sensitive child manage to stop yelling?
She read all the parenting books, even started studying childhood psychology at the university, coaching parents on how to stay calm... and yet, she was exploding and raging.
How did she manage to heal and become a calm, loving mom, despite the gender identity shift of her child, and burnout from all the work, study, and financial pressure, ...?
Just watch and allow yourself to be inspired.
What if you could heal too, and become able to deal with whatever life throws at you with clarity, peace, and unconditional love for yourself and your children?
That's what Bine's story is about.
She's a living, shining example that anything is possible once you get the right help.

If you're struggling in your partnership/marriage because it feels like you're giving too much and there's not enough coming back, so you stopped giving and it backfired... and you keep fighting with your partner more than before, then this podcast episode is for you.
The exercises/journal prompts we will go through will help you get clear on the following:
- what you've been really missing
- how to ask for it in a way that will make you feel heard
- and what you need to do BEFORE you ask (if you don't want it to turn into another fight as it did in the past).
Do you still love your partner/spouse? Do you want to stay together (not just because of the kids)?
Then I'd strongly recommend you listen in and do all the exercises as openly and honestly as possible.
Sending you lots of compassion!

We are going to blur the video to protect the privacy of her family, but if you could see this mom's shining face... :)
This is what becomes possible once you stop waiting for your kids to change, and start doing the work on your anger, stress, and reactions.
As a result, you will not only be able to set healthy boundaries, while making your kids feel worthy of being loved, but just like this mom, you will build your resilience and stress resistance in general.
No matter the noise triggers, no matter other people's expectations.
And just like this mom, who was suddenly made redundant a few weeks ago, you won't let that throw you off track.
So let her story inspire you about what (and how fast) is possible.

And what do you need to focus on instead?

I'm literally in awe and speechless.
I knew how powerful the process I developed was for women.
But only as I spoke to Sonny, one of the men who is just completing the Zen Superdad program, I fully realize what a life-changing and deeply meaningful impact this work can have for men too.
Don't take my word for it, just watch for yourself so that it doesn't sound like I'm 'tooting my own horn'...
I think there's only a handful of men I've met in my entire life who were so aware, so deeply connected, and so strong that they would be able to do what Sonny just did - to be able to have an open talk about their life, the mistakes they've done, the struggle and pain they have felt, and how courageously and relentlessly they turned it around.
So if you're sitting there, feeling deeply unheard, misunderstood, alone feeling cut off from your life, and in your relationships, then this talk was meant for you.

"And what about men/dads? How are they supposed to be calm and empathetic when their kids trigger them, if they don't want to repeat the classic yelling/punishing/too strict approach they grew up with?"
This is why I invited Victor, our first Zen Superdad trauma coach to join me for this podcast episode.
And this is what we covered:
- How is men's work to build up healthy emotional control different from women's work and healing
- What specifically are some of the methods we are using to stop repeating the parenting mistakes of our parents
- Why it's better to do this healing work in a small group, rather than solo
If you're intrigued to find out more and continue exploring and healing with us, then email hi@zensupermom.com to get notified when the next "Daddy Tantrum" Training is scheduled. So that we can meet you live.

These three most common and most painful mistakes I see loving but yelling moms make, are actually the biggest mistakes I used to make myself.
And I believe that's why it took me so long to figure out:
what boundaries actually were
how not to get triggered when I was stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed,
or how to help a child who's having big emotions, while I couldn't handle mine...
So if any of these struggles sound familiar, then let me help you avoid making those painful mistakes and save your time, money, and energy.
Listen in and let me know what you got out of it.

I'm worried I traumatized my kids by yelling at them, stressing, not having time to listen or play with them... Did I damage them forever, just like my strict/yelling/stressing parents impacted my life? Or can I help them somehow?
I get this question a lot on the free Mommy Tantrum Training, and in the 1-1 assessment calls I'm doing with women interested in starting this work. Often more than for themselves, they want to heal their anger (and people-pleasing) because of their children.
So what is really possible?
How can the healed you feel like, and what impact is that going to have on your kids?
And can you even help your shy introverted son, or a manipulative, controlling, aggressive daughter change, and become a healthy, happy kid?
Or is this part of their genetics and identity, and this is who they will be for the rest of their lives?
Listen in, this podcast episode is for you.

""I struggle mostly with being overwhelmed and overstimulated and keeping calm in those situations. I do stay calm but not to the best of my ability. I feel like I’m tired a lot. I have two children aged 4 and 2."
"I think my main struggles are dealing with anger in the moment when I can’t step away as I need to be present for the kids. I’ve tried lots of the usual techniques - breathing counting and they don’t work.
Also overstimulation is a big thing for me - when both kids are talking/screaming/crying at the same time I feel my anger rising."
Those are just two questions I received from mom fighting with overstimulation, especially with noise.
How do you stay calm in these situations?
How do you not yell, but also not shut down emotionally?
How do you help your kids tone it down and teach them how to manage their emotions in a healthy way, without screaming their head off?
Join me in this podcast episode. You're definitely not the only mom struggling with this.

No, your child did not get the "narcissistic genetics" of your spouse.
And you are not yelling because you got the "yelling genes" of your mother/father.
What if it was not about genetics?
And what if you did have a power to change it, so that:
- you can stop being triggered by your kids = don't have to yell
- help them grow up into kind, respectful, happy, loving human beings feeling worthy of love
Is that something you would like for you and for your kids?

Well, whenever I start feeling sorry for myself about how heavy and difficult my life is, I think of Sarah.
Yes, she too wanted to be a calm mom and stop yelling at her toddler daughter. But also...
This brave mom went already through more than what would be enough of pain and struggle for 2-3 lifetimes.
From growing up with alcoholic parents, into becoming an addict and diagnosed with mental disorder, all the way to her husband passing away practically in her arms less than a year ago.
More than enough reasons to be totally broken, out of control, stressed out, and taking it out on her daughter.
And yet, when you see her, she's so strong, resilient and at peace.
How is she doing it?
How did she heal from all of that?
Listen in and do get inspired.
Because if Sarah could become a perfectly imperfect, calm mom, why couldn't you?

I wish I was so aware and courageous as Bili is when I became a mom...
Because even though Bili loves her parents and doesn't blame them for anything, she wanted to do better for her son. BEFORE she'd start yelling at him and losing her patience...
That's why Bili joined the Zen Supermom program when her son was 2.5 months old.
And now, 3 months later, she's sharing her journey and results in this podcast episode.
What did she need to "clean up" in her past?
Why is she so confident she will NOT become the yelling mom?
And how has her relationship with her partner changed?
Hear it for yourself.
Let me introduce you to Bili.

Why parenting techniques or anger therapy could never help you stop yelling at your kids?
I usually share this in our "Mommy/Daddy Tantrum" trainings. But after I explain the first key piece about healing your own childhood (generational developmental) trauma, there's only a little time left to explain the second, equally important piece - Mental Fitness.
Because imagine this: your uncontrollable anger is gone. You no longer lose control over your emotions, your not screaming. But then what? What do you do when your kids are still not listening, they are still too late, still keep hitting you or their siblings, still doing the things that are not ok... How do you make them listen without punishing, or shaming them? And how do you show them a healthy example of respect, boundaries, and healthy emotional control?
That's where the Mental Fitness piece comes in.

If she could do it, you can too.
Zuzana, our Zen Supermom client is the proof that even if nothing else changes in your stressful busy life as it is today, YOU have the power to turn it all around and bring more calm, harmony and love into your home.
How did she fight the odds?
How come she's so happy and shining, even though she's a divorced, full-time working expatriate mom of 3 kids - and it would be completely understandable if she was still burning out, blaming it on her ex and her hard life?
Watch and soak in her courage.
You have a power within you that gets unleashed once you heal your old pain and learn a healthy way to manage your emotions.
What if you were the on the podcast with me 3 months from now talking about how your entire life changed for good?

THIS is why the developmental generational childhood trauma is so dangerous. Because many of us have so many happy memories and love our parents so much... Never in our wildest dreams would we think that the reason why we can't stay calm with our kids and help them through their big emotions, that the reason is rooted in our own childhood...
And this is what happened to Elisa too.
An expatriate mom of 2, full time working, hyper-achieving, always doing her best. Skeptical with everything related to social media...
Why did she decide to go for it anyways and start healing inside the Zen Supermom program?
What were the biggest surprises for her along the way?
And how does she handle tough situations with her kids now?
Listen in to get inspired and see what can be possible for you too!

This is the first out of many more podcast episodes to come where I'm going to introduce you to the brave, courageous mom who care so much about helping YOU, that it made them overcome their fear of being judged and speaking in public about how they used to struggle.
Let me introduce you to this mom of 2 who used to yell and rage daily. So much so that it almost broke her marriage.
And not even 10+ years of therapy, and her own training in councelling, ... none of that was helping that rage, depression, and anxiety.
How did she manage to heal and become a happy, healthy mom in less than 4 months?
What was she afraid of before starting?
And what helped her the most?
Listen in and share in the comments what resonated with you the most.

Struggling with finding the balance between encouraging and pushing your anxious, low self-confidence, introverted child to go back to school after holidays? Should you validate their feelings and agree that school can be lonely and scary, or should you push them to go so that they become resilient?
And is this really about your child, or are you feeling their insecurity and anxiety way too intense because that's EXACTLY the way you remember feeling when you were little?

Not shouting at your kids but still feeling that anger, stress, and frustration? That's great.
And also, while it's a bit better for your kids, it's more dangerous for you and your physical help. Because it's been proven that suppressed emotions (especially those resulting from early childhood trauma), increase your chances of becoming physically sick. (Google psycho-neuro-immunology, Dr. Joe Dispenza and Dr. Gabor Mate.)
So what the heck are you suppossed to do if shouting is not ok, and keeping that anger inside of you is not healthy either?

I used to be my daughter's first bully. I used to yell at her, stress her out, and made her feel not good enough, and on top, made it her fault, blamed her for all of that.
And I'm able to talk about it openly, in public now, only because I managed to stop and heal it, and because after having helped hundreds of moms do the same, I realized I was not alone.
So if you'd like to know how to become a safe parent so that your children would come to you with any secrets or problems growing up, without being scared of your reaction, then this episode is for you.

Are you fighting with your kids about their screentime? Is it always "few more minutes, few more minutes"... and then a big drama and fight when you finally take that screen away?
While I'm not a parenting expert, not a gaming/screen addiction specialist, there are few reframes that helped moms we work with inside the Zen Supermom program. Perfectly in line with the spirit of this podcast: talking about being a calm parent - without blaming it all on the kids...

Dad of 4, fluent in 4 languages, trauma-informed coach and so much more. Meet Victor, first man on the Zen Supermom team who will be working 1-1 with all men joining us in the coming weeks inside the Zen Supermom program.
It was a pleasure to invite him for this special podcast episode and talk about his own healing journey. Because while his story is unique, it's similar to so many men I've already worked with... All that male generational trauma of supressing emotions as weak, avoiding any vulnerability and staying strong & rational, ... and all of that then backfiring in all of your relationships - with your partner/spouse and your children because trauma never goes away until you heal it.
Childhood healing is not for the faint of heart. But Victor is a great inspiration and proof about why it's worth it.
May this episode reach those who need to hear this the most...

There are no coincidences in life. And I do believe that there's a reason why you attract a certain type of people into your life.
So this special episode is a celebration of what happens when you consistently focus on your healing... because that's when instead of toxic relationships, you start meeting people who are ready for you, who are headed in the similar direction, who have the same values.
I met Ellen a few years ago and she became one of the first clients in a new program I just created. And today, I'm proud to announce that Ellen is joining us inside the Zen Supermom team in a new role that I created for her - as a Community Manager.
Ellen's new responsibility will be supporting the supermoms and superdads inside our client Facebook group, by helping them get unstuck from their stress/yelling trauma patterns, answering their questions, and encouraging them to trust the process and keep healing.
We prepared this special podcast episode for you so that you learn a bit about Ellen's personal story, what her "demons" were and how she overcame them.

Our parents deserve respect for bringing us into this world. And they also deserve compassion for having been perfectly imperfect, doing their best to raise us.
And, that doesn't mean that we are bound to repeat their emotional patterns, relive their lives, and believe in the same things they did.
So whenever you find yourself unable to take a break because your parents taught you that you can feel proud only if you keep pushing hard 24/7, or you keep criticizing yourself for not being perfect - just like they used to criticize you... then this podcast episode is for you.
How to break the emotional patters and belief blueprints of your own parents?

Getting a lot done, being a powerhouse of energy and blasting through your to-do list without having to take breaks... Great!
Now... can you also balance it with being able to pause and rest, without feeling guilty?
If not, then this podcast episode is for you.
And you will want to listen to it not just because you don't want to burnout out, and you don't want to shout your stress out at your kids... But also because you have the chance to break this generational chain of using "busy" as a badge of honor = reason to feel proud.
You are worthy of love, appreciation and respect just the way you are, without being a busy hyper-achiever. That's what you want your kids understand and feel as they are growing up.
And as always, it starts with you, supermom or superdad. :)

Are you the one who needs to take care of the whole family, otherwise there would be chaos? If you feel like you always need to be the police woman - checking, reminding, watching time, nagging for things to get done... OR, you're the people-pleasing mom who never says no for the fear of not being loved, always doing way too much for way too little recognition or gratitude...
Then I'd invite you to stop.
And listen to this episode because I made it for you.
There is a way to heal, it's very practical, very effective and it will work for you too.
You know your kids need not just unconditional love, but also the freedom to make their own choices and experience the consequences of those choices.

"My husband is yelling at our kids even more than I do. Can you help him too?"
I'm getting this question more and more often. Because there are moms who are getting amazing results - being able to communicate with their kids in a calm way, and yet, the kids listen better, there's less drama at home, ... and so even the dads become curious: how come it works better than "tough love" and traditional parenting?
So, if you and your husband are curious if it could work for him too, then this podcast episode is for you.

Was your child diagnosed with ADHD - and then you read the symptomps and realized you might have it too? Is that why it's so difficult for you to be a calm, happy mom who doesn't yell?
Then listen in because this episode is for you.
Because what is diagnosed as ADHD (hyperactivity, scattered attention, lack of impulse control) is a result of childhood trauma ("Adversed Childhood Experiences"). So rather than labelling and medicating yourself and your child, you might try a much more effective approach. Because that will not only tune down your ADHD symptoms, but you will also finally create that safe, calm, loving home you wish you had growing up...
Worth the try?

How does it feel to be loved unconditionally - the good and the "bad" in you, no matter if you make a mistake, no matter if you look perfect... Is it even possible to be loved or love someone else unconditionally? Or is it just one of those unicorn theories?
That's a completely normal and natural question to ask, especially if you didn't always feel loved/appreciated by your parents. If you felt like you had to prove yourself, behave and act in the ways they approved, in order to get their positive attention.
So now it's really hard for you to feel like a great parent because you're torn between setting rules and boundaries (so that they don't grow up into being spoiled brats), but also loving them even if they make a mistake. Because you want them to feel safe with you, and tell you about their struggles.
So HOW?
How can you learn about unconditional love if you never got enough of it?
Come with me...

How do you navigate through that?
How can you make those gentle parenting techniques work for your family so well that even your husband comes on board?
Let's unpack that together...

Do you end up getting into fights with your parents/siblings in your family reunions? Or just feel stressed and nervous before you see them?
What if it could be different this time?
What if you could use this opportunity to show your kids how to navigate difficult relationships with grace, calm, and compassion?
To be the example on how to set boundaries without getting hurt or hurting others?
Why should you even consider doing so much effort when it's "their fault" anyways?
Because unless and until you realize what's really going on in the relationships with your parents/sibligns, you'll always be the victim of it. And it will keep holding power over you, your reactions, your emotions.
It's time to take your power and peace back.
Are you up for the challenge?
Let's go!

Being sick sucks. Because unlike all the other human beings, if you’re a mom, you can’t just take a day off. You still need to take care of everyone and everything!
So of course, it’s also going to be much more difficult to stay calm and patient with your kids. Especially if they are sick too…
How to go through the times when you or/and your kids are sick, without losing your mind?

I’m curious, what memories do you have about Christmas when you were a child? And what were your best memories about?
And what is your most important focus now that you have become a mom?
Is it the cleaning, cooking, perfect gifts, planning perfect parties and visits, … so that you can feel you did the best you could and won’t be judged?
And what if you didn’t have to feel stressed and under pressure this year?
I know, asking a lot of questions.
Well, if you grew up like me with a super-stressed supermom who wanted everything to be perfect, and always ended up creating the biggest drama, especially during Christmas, then this podcast episode is for you.
There is another way. You don’t have to become your mom, no matter how much you love her.
And December can really be a month full of peace, love, and joy. It’s totally doable, for you too.

If you can’t calm yourself down when you’re overwhelmed and tired, you can’t expect your kids to be able to do the same.
And I’m saying that with all of my compassion. Because I know how hard and impossible it feels to be able to stay calm and loving when you’re already running empty of energy and they keep asking for more…
- What does it take to be able to be there for your kids, without sacrificing your own mental health?
- Why you can stop looking for the answers in the parenting books?
- And what is one simple thing you can already do today, right now?

How often do you catch yourself feeling the pressure of not being good enough, comparing yourself to others, needing to prove yourself?
It used to be such a core part of my autopilot, seeded so deep that I didn’t even notice it. My entire day, my to-do list, how I looked at myself in the mirror, … everything used to be tinted by that need.
And no matter how hard I tried, I could never get to the point when I felt happy with myself and allowed myself to take a break and stop those critical voices in my head.
And I don’t have to tell you what a damaging impact it had when I became a mom…
So hear me out.
You are not your critical voices in your head.
You were not born having low self-esteem.
You are not here to keep hiding, keep pushing, keep feeling not enough.
Want to start cleaning it up, FINALLY?
Then come with me…

Yes, I hear you.
Kids not listening is the N.1 reason why moms start yelling.
You know shouting at your kids is bad, and you don’t enjoy all this drama either but what else can you do after you asked them nicely and patiently already like 10 times?
Of course, you blow up eventually because this is just not fair! Why are YOU the only one who’s supposed to do everything for everyone? They should all be helping too, or at least not make it so difficult!
I hear you. This story used to be on auto-loop in my head too, for longer than I’d like to admit.
Until I finally became sick of it.
If you’re done wasting time memorizing parenting scripts that don’t work anyway, then dive in with me.
Because there’s so much more going on under the surface. And once you see it, you’ll be able to take your power back and finally create a home where everyone feels happy, respected, and heard.
Want that for you and your family too?
Then come with me…

- If you treat your husband as your eldest child because he doesn’t help enough and just nags for your physical attention…
- If you’re angry with him because he yells at the kids even more than you do…
- If you’re resentful of him because his life didn’t have to change much since you became parents, because you’re the one who sacrificed everything and continues to burn out like an exhausted zombie, …
… no wonder your relationship doesn’t feel the way it used to.
Why breaking it off without learning all your lessons and healing yourself first doesn’t work?
And if there’s still a part of you that loves him after all, how to stop this downward spiral even without him going to therapy?
Listen in.

It’s easy to be a calm mom when there’s no time pressure, nowhere to go… But that happens like once a month, right? Otherwise you keep running at the speed of light 24/7.
So how do you do that, without losing your patience, and without yelling at your kids?
Because I know you’ve already noticed - when you’re running late, the more things you have to squeeze in, the less your kids usually want to cooperate, and you end up shouting in a way you regret and keep thinking about for the next hours…
What if I told you there was a way to stay calm, without running late, without becoming a lazy mom?
Time is ticking, so let’s get started!

“I’ll be happy and calm when… (a list of conditions follows).”
That was the autopilot on which I ran. And because I couldn’t imagine my life NOT being stressful and super busy anytime soon, that also meant that I felt I could not be a zen mom any time soon.
At least not until my daughter leaves home and I have fewer things to worry about. But then - duh! - that would be kind of late to start being a calm & happy mom, right?!
That’s when I realized I was locking myself up into a trap of contradictory expectations.
Do you know what I’m talking about?
So what if there was a way? And it was possible for you too…
- To stop experiencing that uncontrollable anger.
- To stop burning out, and falling on your face with exhaustion every day.
- Without anything/anybody else changing, but you.
What would be possible then?
How could your life be different?
That’s what I’m going to share in this very personal episode.
Not because I’m perfect and my ego wants to show off.
But to open you up to the possibility that you can feel better too.
Come with me and let’s talk…

What are boundaries really? Because kids naturally don’t like rules, they will always try to break them, negotiate, not do it, … But I also didn’t want to force, push, or yell at my daughter if she said no or didn’t listen.
Because I didn’t want her to grow up into being me: the one who always listened and never said no out of fear, and ended up becoming a resentful people-pleaser, walking on eggshells not to make mommy mad = afraid of not being loved.
So is it even possible to have rules and get them respected without yelling and all that drama around it?
I won’t sugar-coat it, this one took me a while to figure out because I didn’t have any healthy role models growing up.
So this is where I’m at with it right now, perfectly imperfect…

Maybe you were not lucky enough to have a happy childhood. And maybe you did!
Either way, if you can’t help it and end up yelling at your kids frequently, the chances are high that something happened very early on in your life and you never healed the pain. And that’s what keeps jumping out at your kids when they cross your boundaries now.
How to start healing your pain without blaming your parents for it?
And if you are already mad with them because it was clearly their “fault”, how could that resentment NOT stand in your way of healing?
Because if you’re looking around for advice on how to be a calm parent, it means you deeply care about your kids and their wellbeing. And you don’t want them to grow up feeling your anger was their fault.
That’s why this journey is worth it.
And that’s why the relationship with your parents (whatever that is right now) should not stop you.
Let’s dive in…

No child is born mean or has the intention to hurt you. But what if they start yelling at you, and calling you the worst names because something you did or said made them mad?
How do you feel about them then? Hurt, not respected, angry?
Of course, it makes perfect sense. But once you calm down, you might regret some things you said in that heat of the moment. And even though you apologized, you feel ashamed it happened and you lost your calm.
If you know exactly what I’m talking about, then let’s dive in deeper.
Because there’s a way how you can set healthy boundaries and stay calm, even when your child is yelling at you.
It’s not ok for them to hurt you verbally/emotionally (or in any way, really).
But I don’t have to tell you that punishing them by doing the exact same thing and hurting them back emotionally doesn’t really teach them anything about how to express their anger without hurting others.

Congratulations, supermom!
You already know that to stop yelling at your kids, parenting techniques won't help.
Because no matter how easy it would be to blame them for making you upset, exhausted, and out of patience, you know it has actually a lot to do with you.
So first of all, you're a great mom and I know you're doing your best.
And I know that for a fact because you're here, looking for help.
But there are just some things that do not work as another DIY for your smart brain. And healing your own childhood wounds and past pain that's really at the roots of your uncontrollable anger is one of them.
And what if you're scared of healing your past because:
- either you tried in the past and it didn't work
- or it made you feel even worse
- or you've been avoiding even thinking about it your whole life because it's just too much?
Then this podcast episode is for you.
Breathe in, breathe out.

How often do you notice your body is contracted, your muscles tight (or even trembling), as your mind keeps racing on and you keep pushing through your day?
If you even find yourself paralyzed by stress since the morning, it’s high time you start dealing with it effectively, otherwise, you’re in much more trouble than “just” turning into a Momzilla and yelling it out at your kids…
Why is stress so dangerous in the short & long term?
And how to get rid of it effectively and quickly, even if you don’t have an hour, not even 30 minutes each day to meditate or exercise?
That’s what this episode is all about…

Sibling Jealousy: The missing puzzle piece for a busy supermom to stop yelling at her firstborn when he/she asks for attention by not listening
How often does your firstborn do something that they KNOW will make you mad?
And you are aware of that. You know it's their way of asking for attention because they are jealous. You just can't help it and yell because it makes you so angry in that moment that you can't control it.
Sounds familiar?
And how frustrating is it, even after having spent hours and months reading all those parenting books about calm/peaceful parenting, and dealing with sibling rivalry...
So, what the heck are you missing?
Have a listen and see for yourself...

Not being able to control your anger when you get triggered by your kids (or your spouse) is an opportunity to get curious.
Especially if similar situations keep repeating and you feel stuck in becoming the shouty mom (or a "momzilla" as I used to call myself).
What if those moments were pointing to the exact baggage from your past that still needed cleaning up?
What if those were also opportunities for you to learn how to set healthy boundaries and become more stress resistant?
Wouldn't that give you much more power and hope over your situation?
Wouldn't it be more useful than staying stuck, feeling like a victim of your kids & family?
Ready to explore with an open mind?
If so, I'm honored and humbled to get your trust.

If you’re feeling like the worst mom in the world because you keep yelling at your kids and can’t stop it, even though you have the best intentions to stay calm… And, if you have no idea WHY, then this episode is for you.
Yes, there is the “T” word… But even if you had a happy, trauma-free childhood, or if you already did therapy to process your pain from the past, I would still invite you to listen in.
Because if you can’t keep your anger under control even though you’re trying your best, it’s a sign more work is needed there.

To be or not to be a supermom?
Is it a recipe for burnout, impatience, and yelling at your kids?
Or do you give up, and become a dedicated mom ‘only’? But what if you keep shouting and burning out even then?
How to get out of this (self) judgment trap of how much or how little you should be doing for your kids and for yourself?
That’s what I struggled with for the first two years of my daughter’s life… And in this episode, I’ll tell you how I managed to get out of this supermom trap and become a fulfilled, happy, and much calmer mom.
Let me know what you got out of it and how it’s helping you find and create your own balanced, calm, and happy version of yourself.

I used to wear the martyr-supermom sacrifice attitude as my badge of honor, thinking what I great mom I was that I did everything for her and hardly ever anything for myself.
I thought that’s what great mothers did. And I definitely wanted to be the best mom for my daughter.
Only when I started feeling resentful towards her, blaming her for being needy, for me being exhausted and yelling at her… I realized this expectation and pressure I was putting on myself was seriously screwed up.
So if you’re struggling with hitting the balance between unconditional love & giving, WITHOUT feeling resentful like you’re sacrificing the rest of your life to be a great mom, then this episode is for you.
If you'd rather watch than listen, you can find it here on YouTube.

Did your birth go as planned?
That’s a question I asked my Zen Supermom audience this week and I got back so many stories that I decided to turn it into a podcast episode and start helping…
What’s waiting for you inside this episode:

How often and for how long do you usually get stuck in your stressed-out corner and dark victim stories about how everything, everyone, and you suck?... And then follow up by beating yourself up for being such a ‘not-good-enough’ mom and woman and not knowing how to change it…
You might try something new, give it all your energy and hope, push hard, and then crash and burn when it doesn’t work as fast or as well as you were expecting it to.
Sounds familiar?
Then this podcast episode is for you.
I’ll share with you my story of fighting my inner critic & hyper-achiever. And how tracking positive progress turned it all around for me.
So tune in, and let me know afterward what you took away from it!

I’m curious, how often do you follow your intuition, rather than your super-smart brain & logic?
And who even says that it has to be one or the other? Why could you follow your guts, without turning off your brain?
Well, that’s what I decided to do for this episode.
I could also title it “Behind the Scenes” or “One Day With a Therapeutic Coach”…
Because it’s full of aha moments and insights I collected for you throughout one day of working with my clients, noticing the parallels with my own experience as a mom.
Including:
- Intuition vs. your smart brain
- The power of being heard, and not feeling alone
- What happens when feeling better becomes your new ‘normal’
- Mental hygiene practice for Empaths
- How to protect yourself from external triggers
- … And more
And I’m curious, what is the ONE thing that gave you the biggest aha? What do you choose to focus on and/or implement in the coming days?
Let me know. I can’t wait to hear from you!

I used to yell at my daughter every evening when we were both tired and she didn’t listen to what I told her to do… And I could feel the anger rising in my body but I couldn’t stop it. I just had to yell it out.
And I felt sooo guilty afterward.
It took me months to figure out that there’s ONE STEP missing in all the parenting advice and scripts out there.
Because have you noticed that when you yell at your kids, it’s automatic? Not something you can avoid or stop doing?
But what makes it an automatic reaction? And how do you stop it – so that THEN you can apply any parenting strategy you want…?
THAT’s what I’m sharing in my free trainings - and also in this podcast episode.

This episode is the longest I’ve done so far because it covers it all.
I truly believe that your healing and feeling better starts with understanding first what’s going on with you. And unfortunately, it goes deeper than just you not being able to control your anger when your kids don’t listen and you’re already stressed out/exhausted…
So that’s why this episode covers the explanation about what trauma is (because you might have one or more without knowing it), what the latest trauma therapy techniques are (and that they are much more effective than the outdated blabla therapy from 30 years ago), and what you can do to get help.
THIS is the work that needs to happen FIRST.
BEFORE you start diving into any parenting techniques, scripts, or strategies. Because these are useless… In Czech, we say it’s like ‘putting lipstick on a pig’ (just trying to make you laugh here, not to offend you.) But you see how that doesn’t work? Your trauma is that pig. A parenting technique on top of that won’t make it look pretty and ok.
So dive in with me and start uncovering the real reasons why you haven’t been able to stop yelling at your kids yet…

Dear supermom,
You're amazing, lovable, and worthy of all the appreciation in the world, exactly the way you are right now.
YOU ARE ENOUGH.
Don't believe me?
Are those voices in your head telling a different story?
Well, it might be time to start reprogramming that nasty self-talk NOW.
Because what would you say to your daughter/son if they told you they have similar stories in their head about who they are?
... You see?
And I don't have to tell you that more than what you do, your kids are reading your energy, right? They KNOW how you're feeling. They see how you're treating yourself...
So if you need any more reasons why you should start working on your negative self-talk, because you feeling better is not a reason strong enough, then here you have it ->
-> What's the best, most effective way to make sure your kids will grow up with healthy self-confidence and strong mental fitness level so that no matter what difficulty or setback comes their way, they won't break?
Yes, a healthy, happy, calm, mentally strong mom.
Have I got your attention now?
A bit of tough love, I know. That's my style - nurturing AND a bit of a kick in the behind when needed...
Here's your first step.
Enjoy and send me an email/DM on socials about how it went for you.
Take great care of yourself, supermom.
YOU ARE ENOUGH

It's not about your emotions, not enough time, or about other people pushing your buttons...
There is a way you can stay calm, laser-focused, and effectively manage any stressful situation with your anger eating you up inside, or bursting out. Even if nothing/no one else changes.
How?
I unpacked it step by step in the Zen Supermom, Mental Fitness Podcast in the last two episodes about the Mental Fitness Intro.
And in this final episode, we’ll wrap it all together.
For the most value, download the template for the exercise we are doing together in this episode:
And watch it on youtube to follow along.
After you’re done, I’d love to hear from you!
What did it do for you? What was the most valuable realization you had?
You can share your insights here to inspire others to listen to this episode and get help.
And if you’d love to get this done now and finally become that calm, happy mom you always wanted to be, then DM me "BOOTCAMP" or “1-1” and let's check if my group/private mental fitness is the right fit for you!

This episode builds up on the previous one - episode 18.
Episode 18 unpacked:
- the beginning of the stressed mom journey
-what's really going on, and
-why the classic parenting/mom advice does NOT help in being a calm, loving, peaceful mom (without raising your voice too much).
In this episode #19, I'm continuing on that journey by answering the question I get the most from newcomers:
-OK, so now what…
HOW do you stay calm no matter what?
-How does Mental Fitness help, SPECIFICALLY?
-What is the method, or exercises behind it? How does it really work?
PLUS, you get a free gift again. For you to go and try it for yourself.
Let's dive in!
Here's the podcast episode on youtube - EPISODE #19 on YOUTUBE, if you want to watch me talk. It's unedited, so in case my uhm's and "sooo" annoy you, stick to this podcast version that's at least a bit more polished. :)
Enjoy!

I'm going to break it down in this episode with you.
So that you not only understand what's REALLY happening and why, but also how to stop it, and protect yourself and your relationships.

What would you do if you didn't care about what others will think about it/you?
I'm serious.
What would become possible once you stop worrying about what's expected from you?
I'd love to hear about your dreams and your story.
Here's mine, in this podcast episode, about why I keep cutting my hair so short.
(And yes, don't worry, I did donate my long hair to a cancer wig manufacturer :)
May this inspire you and give you hope.
PS: Here's the link I promised:

Ever Struggled with Mommy Tantrums?
You know, those situations when you raise your voice at your kids and regret it afterward?
I used to feel super guilty and ashamed about it, never wanted anyone else to know…
But then when I started working with moms, I realized most of us carry this same dark little secret inside. And we don’t want to talk about it to others, for the fear of being judged.
I thought the only other way to get help was to read some parenting books. But that didn’t work for me either, so I thought there must be something wrong with me!
So, if you’re feeling stuck in a similar place, if you’re a loving, overwhelmed mom with a big heart who feels guilty for having these emotional outbursts at your kids, and you’re looking for help, …
Well, here it is.
This episode is for you.

I used to feel guilty for not loving my daughter unconditionally.
There… I just shared one of my most shameful secrets.
I was noticing what was wrong with her first – always looking for things to correct. Feeling overwhelming love usually came only after my daughter fell asleep and I could finally breathe out…
But how to be a mom who loves unconditionally? Who looks at what’s right first? And who doesn’t lose her patience and cool over little accidents like a spilled cup of tea?
Listen in and let me know how it worked for you.

Babies don’t come with a manual.
Heck, our entire lives don’t come with any.
So how do you navigate the seasons when everything seems completely out of control and out of line?!
Well, if you’re anything like me, you’ll try to learn as much as possible. Parenting books, blogs, stress and self-care research, time management, and effective routine hacks, … Did you try to learn it all? To figure it out and get the control back over the unpredictable chaos that kids brought into your life?
And how did it work for you?
Because it did NOT work for me.
Stuffing more information in my head did NOT make me more zen, less stressed, happier, or less impatient and resentful…
Why not?
And what did work in the end?
Tune into this episode where I unpack all of it. Including a mini-guided mental fitness practice session on top.
Let me know what you got out of it, subscribe, and share with your mom-friends!
May the force be with you! :)

If you don’t learn from your pain, you’re doomed to keep getting stuck in it over and over again. And it doesn’t matter if it’s physical or emotional, or if it’s about your relationships, parenting, or work.
THAT right there was one of the most powerful eye-openers I had in my trauma therapy training – even though I jumped into it thinking I had a happy childhood and no ‘big issues’ to work on…
The moment I stopped avoiding feeling the painful emotions, distracting myself from them, or keeping pushing through, and instead, I looked it in the face and got curious, my life shifted...
How?
And how could you even start deciphering any painful emotions safely, without being drowned and swallowed by them?
Tune in to this episode for the exact steps and guidance.
This endeavor is not an easy one. But your next level breakthrough is waiting for you on the other side.

Have you ever struggled with food cravings?
It got out of control for me when I had my daughter. And I just started eating anything I felt like. And when I tried to go back and stop eating so much sugar, my willpower and discipline only got me that far…
So after I was done beating myself up over how weak and pathetic I was, I took another look. And I started playing with Mental Fitness principles that worked so well for me in lowering my stress and anger levels, and I applied them to my food cravings.
And guess what, it worked!
So in this episode, I’m going to share exactly what I’m doing and why I think this works better in long term than any other “diet” that’s based on your discipline and willpower.
So listen in and see for yourself.

Do you feel like you lost your sparkle?
That in between all of your responsibilities and to-do lists as a busy mom, somehow you lost yourself?

And that’s what this episode is about. It’s 3 steps to getting your sparkle back, distilled from my own experience and from coaching hundreds of women going through the same.
