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 162: How Generational Healing Helped Suzanne Stop Yelling in Just 3 Months
Are you a mom who has tried therapy, CBT, parenting tips, or gentle parenting, and you are still yelling at your kids?
That was Suzanne’s story. She was a healthcare professional praised for her patience and calm before motherhood. But after two kids, sleep deprivation, moving houses, and the stress of the pandemic, she found herself stuck in the same yelling cycle she promised she would never repeat.
The turning point came when Suzanne discovered Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning (IDTR) - Alena’s unique method that combines trauma healing and mental fitness tools to rewire the nervous system at the root.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why CBT and talk therapy don’t stop yelling when you are dysregulated
- How IDTR uncovered the generational trauma patterns that kept her stuck
- Why kids learn emotional regulation by watching parents, not by listening to parenting scripts
- The practical tools that helped Suzanne stay calm and stop snapping in just 3 months
- How her children became more cooperative, emotionally healthy, and resilient once she shifted her patterns
This episode is for moms who feel guilty after yelling, who have tried every parenting hack and strategy, and who are ready for a deeper solution.
Discover why the fastest way to stop yelling is not about fixing your kids - it’s about healing yourself with Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning (IDTR). Listen or watch now and learn how real healing creates lasting change in your parenting and family life.
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.
