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 172: "I Yelled at My 4-Month-Old”: The Real Story of Traumatic Birth, Postpartum Rage & Healing
falling apart?
You’re in pain 24/7.
You’re not sleeping.
Your baby won’t settle.
Your nervous system is stuck in survival.
Your marriage feels like it’s breaking.
And everyone has a different “solution”:
- pain meds or physical recovery support
- postpartum depression diagnosis + medication
- therapy
- couple counseling
- yoga, mindfulness, breathing…
But what if you don’t have time to do 10 different things - and none of them are actually fixing the root?
In this Zen Supermom Podcast episode, Jacqueline shares her real story:
A traumatic birth + months of constant physical pain (and not being believed) The shame of yelling at her baby at just 4 months old Feeling distant, resentful, angry, and “not made for motherhood” How postpartum depression explained part of it — but didn’t solve it Why she kept trying to push through with willpower Why her marriage started falling apart What she uncovered underneath (hyper-achiever + controller patterns, early childhood layers, and deeper trauma) And what changed in just a few months:
- deep bonding and love with her son
- presence and joy in daily life
- a transformed marriage (teamwork, communication, peace)
- flexibility, less control, and more ease
If you’ve ever thought:
“I should be happy… so why do I feel rage?”
“Why do I feel nothing with my baby?”
“Why is motherhood bringing out the worst in me?”
This episode is for you.
Come meet Zsaklin - and feel what becomes possible when you stop trying to fix symptoms and finally heal the root.
