She had a degree in neuroscience.
She understood the amygdala, stress responses, emotional regulation…

And yet she was still yelling at her 3-year-old daughter, over and over again.

Yoga didn’t help.
Mindfulness didn’t help.
Positive affirmations didn’t help.

And despite having loving parents and a “good childhood,” Mona found herself stuck in a cycle she couldn’t think her way out of.

In this powerful episode, Mona shares:

• Why knowledge alone can’t stop your nervous system from exploding
• How “good girl conditioning” turns into people-pleasing and avoidant parenting
• Why she believed her low self-confidence was her personality (when it wasn’t)
• How her inner child and generational patterns were running her reactions
• The exact moment she realized: “This goes much deeper than tools.”
• The transformation she experienced inside the Zen Supermom Program
• How her daughter’s behavior and their connection changed
• How healing her patterns helped her at work, in her marriage, and even with phone calls

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I know the theory, so why can’t I DO better?”
• “I had a happy childhood… so why am I reacting like this?”
• “Maybe this is just who I am…”

... you need to hear this.

Listen to Mona’s real, raw, and inspiring healing journey.

You’ve read the books. You know child psychology. You understand that your kids are supposed to test boundaries, move at their own pace, have big emotions… and most of the time you are the calm, patient mom.

Until you’re tired. Rushed. Overwhelmed. Hungry. Late for school again.

And then you yell. Just like your mom yelled at you – even though you promised yourself you’d be different. You keep thinking:

“I don’t need more theory. I just need the tools!”

In this episode of the Zen Superman Podcast, I break down why more information is not the answer – and what “tools” actually mean when it comes to stopping mommy tantrums for good.

We talk about:

• Why your logical, super‑educated brain “checks out” when you’re triggered
• How your unhealed inner child hijacks your body and reactions in seconds
• The concept of “1,000 paper cuts” generational developmental trauma – even if you had a “good” childhood
• Why classic therapies and more parenting courses often don’t touch this pattern
• The 2 pillars you really need instead:
  • Healing your inner child (so she stops taking over)
  • Mental Fitness: rewiring your autopilot so you don’t repeat how your parents handled stress
• What changes when you build a healthy blueprint of unconditional love + boundaries
• Why “I’ll fix it later when they’re older” is one of the most expensive lies we tell ourselves as moms

If you’re the mom who says:

• “I know what I should do, but in the moment I just lose it.”
• “I’m terrified I’m becoming my mom – and my kids will sit in therapy because of me.”
• “I’ve done all the parenting courses, but I still don’t have the tools that actually work under pressure…”

…this episode was recorded for you.

Listen now and start breaking the generational cycle – without trying to be a perfect, always‑nice mom.

Have you ever told yourself,
“It’s my responsibility to make everyone happy”?
If so, this episode is for you.

Because that sentence isn’t your personality.
It’s not your “strength.”
And it’s definitely not your purpose.

It’s a generational trauma pattern that turned your empathy into over-responsibility…
your intuition into hypervigilance…
and your caring nature into exhaustion.

In this episode, we go deep into the truth behind this pattern:

Why you feel responsible for everyone’s emotions Why you’re pulled to help people who don’t want help Why your kindness sometimes gets rejected or resented Why you can see other people’s patterns… but can’t stop yours And how to finally break free - without becoming “cold” or “selfish”

You’ll hear:

Why high-achieving, self-aware, ultra-sensitive women fall into this trap How childhood roles (parentification, emotional caretaking, walking on eggshells) shape adult behavior Why knowledge is not enough to stop the cycle The moment your helping turns into proving, or saving, or trying to earn worth And the exact place where healing must begin

If you’ve ever felt drained, unseen, unappreciated, or resentful despite your big heart and good intentions - this episode will hit home.

This isn’t about stopping your empathy.
It’s about rewiring the pattern that uses your gifts against you.

Listen/watch now and learn how to turn your sensitivity back into your superpower - without sacrificing yourself.

Parenting techniques didn’t fail us, they broke us.

Even moms with “happy childhoods,” therapy degrees, or calm voices can still find themselves yelling, shutting down, or people-pleasing. Why? Because most parenting methods focus on behavior, not the root: unhealed generational developmental trauma.

In this raw and eye-opening episode, Alena Gomes Rodrigues, creator of Intergenerational Developmental Trauma Repatterning (IDTR) and author of I Yelled, I Cried, I Healed, explains why even the most well-intentioned parents unconsciously pass on emotional wounds and how healing your nervous system changes everything. In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why CBT and parenting scripts don’t rewire emotional patterns
• How “good childhoods” can still create people-pleasing, overachieving moms
• The hidden trauma psychologists aren’t trained to recognize
• Why stress, ADHD, or burnout aren’t the real reason for yelling
• How IDTR helps moms create emotional safety for their children without perfectionism

This is your invitation to stop parenting from trauma and start healing with compassion, clarity, and confidence.
