Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast

About 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!

   Why is it so hard to say no to your kids without feeling guilty?

   Send us Fan Mail Why does saying "no" to your kids feel so much harder than it should? You know boundaries are important. You know your kids need them. So why do you keep: explaining one more time,giving one more chance,feeling guilty every time they get upset,and end up exploding anyway?For years, I thought I had a boundary problem. I didn't.
