Zen Supermom: The Mental Fitness Podcast

By: Alena Gomes Rodrigues
  • Summary

  • 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 135: It's Okay to Not Feel Okay
    Jan 31 2025

    It's ok to stop pretending all is going well if it's not.
    And I know it's easier said than done when you were raised to suppress your emotions, smile, and do what's expected anyway...

    But it's time to stop using crutches and comforting your pain through addictions, or even never-ending learning and thinking "I'll feel better when..."
    Those are distractions and avoidance strategies. They won't help you put your life back on track and feel in control again.

    So where do you even start?

    Give yourself the permission to not feel ok.
    And tune into this podcast episode so that you know you're not alone, and what's possible once you work through this.
