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.

Ep 112: Recovering your Relationship: How to Find the Delicate Balance Between Giving Too Much and Having Boundaries

9/6/2024
Send us a text 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! Catch this episode on YouTube as well!

Ep 109: Zen SuperDAD Case Study: How to Stop Feeling Emotionally Numb & Disconnected from Partner and Kids

8/29/2024
Send us a text I'm literally in awe and speechless. I knew how powerful the process I developed was for women. But only as I spoke to Sonny, one of the men who is just completing the Zen Superdad program, I fully realize what a life-changing and deeply meaningful impact this work can have for men too. Don't take my word for it, just watch for yourself so that it doesn't sound like I'm 'tooting my own horn'... I think there's only a handful of men I've met in my entire life who were so aware, so deeply connected, and so strong that they would be able to do what Sonny just did - to be able to have an open talk about their life, the mistakes they've done, the struggle and pain they have felt, and how courageously and relentlessly they turned it around. So if you're sitting there, feeling deeply unheard, misunderstood, alone feeling cut off from your life, and in your relationships, then this talk was meant for you. ---- Notes and links mentioned in the episode: To book your seat at the next FREE, LIVE "Daddy Tantrum" Training, email us at hi@zensupermom.com Support the Show.

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.

Send us a Text Message. These three most common and most painful mistakes I see loving but yelling moms make, are actually the biggest mistakes I used to make myself. And I believe that's why it took me so long to figure out: what boundaries actually were how not to get triggered when I was stressed, exhausted, or overwhelmed, or how to help a child who's having big emotions, while I couldn't handle mine...

Ep 104: I'm Worried I Damaged My Kids By Yelling... Can I Help Them Heal?

7/26/2024
Send us a Text Message. I'm worried I traumatized my kids by yelling at them, stressing, not having time to listen or play with them... Did I damage them forever, just like my strict/yelling/stressing parents impacted my life? Or can I help them somehow? I get this question a lot on the free Mommy Tantrum Training, and in the 1-1 assessment calls I'm doing with women interested in starting this work. Often more than for themselves, they want to heal their anger (and people-pleasing) because of their children. So what is really possible? How can the healed you feel like, and what impact is that going to have on your kids? And can you even help your shy introverted son, or a manipulative, controlling, aggressive daughter change, and become a healthy, happy kid? Or is this part of their genetics and identity, and this is who they will be for the rest of their lives? Listen in, this podcast episode is for you. Watch this episode on YouTube as well!

Ep 101: How Not to Yell or Shut Down When You're Overwhelmed and Overstimulated by The Noise of Your Kids

Send us a Text Message. ""I struggle mostly with being overwhelmed and overstimulated and keeping calm in those situations. I do stay calm but not to the best of my ability. I feel like I’m tired a lot. I have two children aged 4 and 2." "I think my main struggles are dealing with anger in the moment when I can’t step away as I need to be present for the kids. I’ve tried lots of the usual techniques - breathing counting and they don’t work. Also overstimulation is a big thing for me - when both kids are talking/screaming/crying at the same time I feel my anger rising." Those are just two questions I received from mom fighting with overstimulation, especially with noise. How do you stay calm in these situations? How do you not yell, but also not shut down emotionally? How do you help your kids tone it down and teach them how to manage their emotions in a healthy way, without screaming their head off?

Send us a Text Message. 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?

Ep 94: Why 1-1 Trauma Sessions Are Not Enough to Heal Your Uncontrollable Anger (Mental Fitness Intro)

5/31/2024
Send us a Text Message. Why parenting techniques or anger therapy could never help you stop yelling at your kids? I usually share this in our "Mommy/Daddy Tantrum" trainings. But after I explain the first key piece about healing your own childhood (generational developmental) trauma, there's only a little time left to explain the second, equally important piece - Mental Fitness. Because imagine this: your uncontrollable anger is gone. You no longer lose control over your emotions, your not screaming. But then what? What do you do when your kids are still not listening, they are still too late, still keep hitting you or their siblings, still doing the things that are not ok... How do you make them listen without punishing, or shaming them? And how do you show them a healthy example of respect, boundaries, and healthy emotional control? That's where the Mental Fitness piece comes in. Dive in with me and then take these two free assessments: PQ Test (= Positive Intelligence Free Assessment): https://assessment.positiveintelligence.com/pq/overview The Saboteurs test: https://assessment.positiveintelligence.com/saboteur/overview Link to the episode mentioned: Ep 69: ADHD Symptoms That Come From Childhood Trauma Listen to it here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2069721/episodes/14459995 Watch it here: https://studio.youtube.com/video/oPjNjUOKJ68/edit Catch this episode in Youtube as well!
