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 152: Wouldn’t It Be Fun If…? How to Stop Pushing and Start Feeling Pulled
In this episode, I share something personal: what happened when I committed to writing my book… and then immediately felt the weight of it.
This isn’t just about writing. It’s about that moment when a dream lights you up—then resistance pulls you down.
You start asking:
“Do I really have time for this?”
“What if I fail?”
“Who do I think I am?”
Sound familiar?
Whether it’s healing, parenting, or chasing a deeper purpose, we all hit that wall. And in this episode, I show you what helped me shift—not by pushing harder, but by reconnecting with vision, identity, and joy.
You'll hear:
- Why most moms lose momentum (and how to get it back)
- How to create a “moonshot” goal that pulls you forward
- Why micro-habits matter more than willpower
- What I learned from a client who almost gave up—and didn’t
Plus, I’ll share the bigger mission I’m building, and how you’re already part of it.
Let’s dream bigger—without burning out. Listen now and then message me: What’s your moonshot?
