Are you tired of feeling like your kids are the reason you lose control? Here’s the truth: your yelling isn’t about the tantrums, the morning rush, or even the lack of support at home. The real cause lies in the patterns you’ve been carrying since your own childhood.

In this episode, I’ll show you the fastest way to break the cycle:

Step 1: Heal the childhood patterns showing up in your parenting.
Step 2: Rewire the automatic habits of yelling, stressing, and snapping.

When you stop focusing on “fixing” your kids and start working on yourself, everything changes—the atmosphere in your home, the way your kids listen, and the calm you finally feel inside.

Martina is a loving mom of three, living abroad with no support network.
She had a “happy childhood.” A caring mom. No big trauma.
So why did she keep yelling at her kids?
Why did every small mess trigger a screaming match?
And why couldn’t she stop—even though she hated how it felt?

In this episode, Martina shares how things spiraled from gentle parenting intentions… to guilt, burnout, and near-daily explosions.
She tried the parenting scripts. The podcasts. The logic. Nothing stuck.

In her words:
“I thought I needed more patience. But I needed to heal what was buried underneath.” In this conversation, we explore:

• Why moms with “no trauma” still snap—and what’s really going on
• The invisible pain of not feeling good enough, even with a good upbringing
• How she stopped yelling at her kids—and made peace with her own mom, too
• What changed when she found tools that actually rewired her stress response

Her joy is real. Her story is powerful.
And her message is clear: You don’t need to suffer just because life is loud.

Listen or watch now—and share this with a mom who thinks she “should have it together by now.
