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 112: Recovering your Relationship: How to Find the Delicate Balance Between Giving Too Much and Having Boundaries
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you're struggling in your partnership/marriage because it feels like you're giving too much and there's not enough coming back, so you stopped giving and it backfired... and you keep fighting with your partner more than before, then this podcast episode is for you.
The exercises/journal prompts we will go through will help you get clear on the following:
- what you've been really missing
- how to ask for it in a way that will make you feel heard
- and what you need to do BEFORE you ask (if you don't want it to turn into another fight as it did in the past).
Do you still love your partner/spouse? Do you want to stay together (not just because of the kids)?
Then I'd strongly recommend you listen in and do all the exercises as openly and honestly as possible.
Sending you lots of compassion!

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.
