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 170: She Was a Neuroscientist… and Still Yelling at Her 3-Year-Old: Mona’s Breakthrough Story
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
She had a degree in neuroscience.
She understood the amygdala, stress responses, emotional regulation…
And yet she was still yelling at her 3-year-old daughter, over and over again.
Yoga didn’t help.
Mindfulness didn’t help.
Positive affirmations didn’t help.
And despite having loving parents and a “good childhood,” Mona found herself stuck in a cycle she couldn’t think her way out of.
In this powerful episode, Mona shares:
- Why knowledge alone can’t stop your nervous system from exploding
- How “good girl conditioning” turns into people-pleasing and avoidant parenting
- Why she believed her low self-confidence was her personality (when it wasn’t)
- How her inner child and generational patterns were running her reactions
- The exact moment she realized: “This goes much deeper than tools.”
- The transformation she experienced inside the Zen Supermom Program
- How her daughter’s behavior and their connection changed
- How healing her patterns helped her at work, in her marriage, and even with phone calls
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I know the theory, so why can’t I DO better?”
- “I had a happy childhood… so why am I reacting like this?”
- “Maybe this is just who I am…”
... you need to hear this.
Listen to Mona’s real, raw, and inspiring healing journey.
