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 101: How Not to Yell or Shut Down When You're Overwhelmed and Overstimulated by The Noise of Your Kids
""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.
