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 154: Why Dads Snap — And How to Break the Cycle of Male Emotional Repression
This one’s for the dads.
Or the men you love who struggle with anger, withdrawal, or emotional shutdown around their kids.
In this powerful anonymous conversation, a father of two shares what it was like to feel hijacked by explosive reactions—and why therapy, CBT, and intellectual insight weren’t enough. He opens up about the hidden roots of his triggers, the moment he chose to get help, and how he rewired his reactions without shame or a diagnosis.
Whether you’re a dad who loses control—or a mom wishing your partner would finally seek support—this story will give you hope for real change.
