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 158: Choosing Single Motherhood: Breaking Cycles & Raising with Strength
Can one emotionally healed parent give a child everything they need?
In this powerful episode, Victoria shares her journey of leaving a toxic relationship, choosing to become a solo mom by choice, and raising her baby with more peace, presence, and authenticity than she ever thought possible.
You’ll hear:
- Why staying in a toxic relationship “for the kids” is never the answer
- The surprising patterns Victoria had to heal before becoming a mom
- How she rewired her inner critic, overcame loneliness, and broke generational cycles
- Why one emotionally safe parent is worth more than two parents in chaos
Whether you’re a mom-to-be, a single parent (by choice or by circumstance), or a mom doubting if you’re “enough,” this story will shift what you believe is possible.
Watch or listen now and see how one healed parent can change everything.
Hi, I’m Alena - founder of Zen Supermom and creator of the IDTR method (Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning).
I work with thoughtful, committed parents who have already tried to understand themselves - and still find themselves reacting under pressure in ways they don’t want.
My work focuses on changing the underlying pattern that formed early, shows up in the nervous system under stress, and gets passed on to the next generation unless addressed as a whole.
