Ep 161: Finding the Balance Between Gentle Parenting and Boundaries: Sanne’s Transformation

Can you set healthy boundaries without becoming too strict or too permissive? Can you stop yelling without letting your kids bulldoze over you?

This week’s Zen Supermom Podcast shares Sanne’s powerful journey. She was once a yelling mom stuck in guilt and overwhelm. After joining the Zen Supermom program, she broke free from the cycle, healed the root of her triggers, and found a way to parent with both love and boundaries.

Sanne’s transformation didn’t stop there. She became the first mom to ask Alena to train her in Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning (IDTR) — Alena’s unique method that combines trauma healing and mental fitness to rewire the nervous system. Now Sanne is a certified trauma-informed coach helping other moms break generational cycles too.

 In this episode you will learn:

• Why gentle parenting without healing can turn into people-pleasing
• How Sanne stopped yelling and started holding healthy, safe boundaries
• The role of IDTR in rewiring generational trauma patterns
• A behind-the-scenes look at her bedtime routine with her two boys
• How to find the balance between calm connection and firm leadership as a parent

 This story is for moms who want to stop yelling, set boundaries without guilt, and raise emotionally resilient kids without repeating the patterns they grew up with. Watch or listen now and see how Sanne transformed her family life — and her career — with IDTR.
