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 182: Why You Lose It at Home But Stay Calm at Work: The Root Cause Nobody Talks About
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You hold it together at work all day. Then you walk through the front door and completely lose it with your kids. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.
In this episode Alena breaks down the real reason professional moms snap at home even when they are perfectly capable of handling pressure at work. It has nothing to do with your parenting skills and everything to do with a pattern that was wired into your nervous system long before your kids ever pushed your buttons.
You will learn why anger is a symptom not a problem, what you were actually feeling in the moment before you last yelled, why your childhood set the emotional thermostat you are still running on today, and the 3 things it takes to rewire the pattern for good.
This is not about doing more. It is about understanding what is actually happening so you can stop it.
Topics covered: mom rage, why moms yell, generational trauma, fight or flight stress response, good girl conditioning, people pleasing mom, nervous system and parenting, trauma informed parenting, professional mom burnout, calm parenting, mommy tantrum.
