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 129: So if I don't need to be the "good girl" anymore, who am I?
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!
