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.

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

    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.
