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 107: Healing Men's Emotional Numbness and Avoidance with Zen Superdad Trauma Coach Victor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
"And what about men/dads? How are they supposed to be calm and empathetic when their kids trigger them, if they don't want to repeat the classic yelling/punishing/too strict approach they grew up with?"
This is why I invited Victor, our first Zen Superdad trauma coach to join me for this podcast episode.
And this is what we covered:
- How is men's work to build up healthy emotional control different from women's work and healing
- What specifically are some of the methods we are using to stop repeating the parenting mistakes of our parents
- Why it's better to do this healing work in a small group, rather than solo
If you're intrigued to find out more and continue exploring and healing with us, then email hi@zensupermom.com to get notified when the next "Daddy Tantrum" Training is scheduled. So that we can meet you live.

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.
