Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast
I'm not a supermom. But I always wanted to be one and have it all: family, career/business that I love, AND the time for myself. But that ambition without proper stress resistance and resilience killed my mom (cancer at 48) and drove me to the edge of burnout twice. Only when I saw the disastrous effects of my anger, stress, and resentment on my little daughter, I knew I had to change... Since then, not only have I healed but I also helped thousands of other women all around the world through trauma-informed therapy and mental fitness training. And I decided to share the most vulnerable and valuable pieces of my and their journey here. Because if we got out of that dark, stuck place of feeling like a terrible mom, YOU CAN DO IT TOO. So choose the episode that speaks to you and tune in!

Ep 94: Why 1-1 Trauma Sessions Are Not Enough to Heal Your Uncontrollable Anger (Mental Fitness Intro)
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.
