Ep 170: She Was a Neuroscientist… and Still Yelling at Her 3-Year-Old: Mona’s Breakthrough Story
Description
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.
