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 #10: How can you give unconditional love to others if you did not get enough of it yourself?
I used to feel guilty for not loving my daughter unconditionally.
There… I just shared one of my most shameful secrets.
I was noticing what was wrong with her first – always looking for things to correct. Feeling overwhelming love usually came only after my daughter fell asleep and I could finally breathe out…
But how to be a mom who loves unconditionally? Who looks at what’s right first? And who doesn’t lose her patience and cool over little accidents like a spilled cup of tea?
Listen in and let me know how it worked for you.

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.

A short orientation to understand what’s really driving your reactions with your kids — and what to do next.
