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!
Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast
Why You Sound Like Your Mum When You Lose It (And How to Finally Stop)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You swore you would never sound like your mum. And then one day her exact words came out of your mouth. And you stood there wondering what just happened.
In this episode of the Zen Supermom podcast, Alena explains exactly why this happens, what is going on in your nervous system in that moment, and what it actually takes to stop it permanently.
What you will learn in this episode:
- Why you sound like your mum when you lose it even though you promised yourself you never would
- Why the pattern goes much deeper than simply copying what your parents did
- What is actually happening in your nervous system in the moment your parents' words come out of your mouth
- The deep fear of not feeling safe that is underneath every single mummy tantrum
- Why knowing where the pattern comes from is not enough to stop it happening again
- Why reading more parenting books and asking ChatGPT more questions will never fix this
- Why your busy busy busy coping pattern is actually keeping you stuck
- How long it actually takes to rewire the generational pattern and why waiting is costing your kids more than you realize
- What unconditional love actually looks like in practice when your child is at their most difficult

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.
