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!
Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast
Ep 144: Raging about dog and her ex... how did she became a Zen Supermom regardless?
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.
