Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast
Alena Gomes Rodrigues
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 138: What a "Control-freak" Mom Did to Feel Lighter in 3-4 Months
Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast
02/21/25 • 27 min
Happy childhood as a kid, not yelling that much as a mom but feeling anger whenever things are not going according to plan...And then taking it out on her husband.
That's how Julia felt when we met. She called herself a perfectionist "control freak", and hyper-vigilant (insecure, lack of trust, afraid). And she had enough of it.
So what did we do with her exactly inside the Zen Supermom program?
And how is she doing now, 4 months later, as she's leaving the program?
Hear it from her directly...

Ep 50: How To Set Healthy Boundaries When Your Child Is Yelling At You
Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast
10/06/23 • 34 min
No child is born mean or has the intention to hurt you. But what if they start yelling at you, and calling you the worst names because something you did or said made them mad?
How do you feel about them then? Hurt, not respected, angry?
Of course, it makes perfect sense. But once you calm down, you might regret some things you said in that heat of the moment. And even though you apologized, you feel ashamed it happened and you lost your calm.
If you know exactly what I’m talking about, then let’s dive in deeper.
Because there’s a way how you can set healthy boundaries and stay calm, even when your child is yelling at you.
It’s not ok for them to hurt you verbally/emotionally (or in any way, really).
But I don’t have to tell you that punishing them by doing the exact same thing and hurting them back emotionally doesn’t really teach them anything about how to express their anger without hurting others.
Let’s start!
