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 73: Police Woman and People-Pleaser vs Empowering Kids with Healthy Boundaries
Are you the one who needs to take care of the whole family, otherwise there would be chaos? If you feel like you always need to be the police woman - checking, reminding, watching time, nagging for things to get done... OR, you're the people-pleasing mom who never says no for the fear of not being loved, always doing way too much for way too little recognition or gratitude...
Then I'd invite you to stop.
And listen to this episode because I made it for you.
There is a way to heal, it's very practical, very effective and it will work for you too.
You know your kids need not just unconditional love, but also the freedom to make their own choices and experience the consequences of those choices.
How to do this in a safe way? Listen in...

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.
🎧 Start here – Mommy Tantrum Session
A short orientation to understand what’s really driving your reactions with your kids — and what to do next.
