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 97: How Resilience Looks Like: Story of a Woman Who Went Through Hell and Became a Zen Supermom Anyways
Well, whenever I start feeling sorry for myself about how heavy and difficult my life is, I think of Sarah.
Yes, she too wanted to be a calm mom and stop yelling at her toddler daughter. But also...
This brave mom went already through more than what would be enough of pain and struggle for 2-3 lifetimes.
From growing up with alcoholic parents, into becoming an addict and diagnosed with mental disorder, all the way to her husband passing away practically in her arms less than a year ago.
More than enough reasons to be totally broken, out of control, stressed out, and taking it out on her daughter.
And yet, when you see her, she's so strong, resilient and at peace.
How is she doing it?
How did she heal from all of that?
Listen in and do get inspired.
Because if Sarah could become a perfectly imperfect, calm mom, why couldn't you?
