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 151: She Never Yelled. But She Was Dying Inside.
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.
