In this Supermom Spotlight interview, host Sidhika Goenka speaks with Marina Menezes, a Mumbai‑based teacher and mother of three. Marina recounts the severe stress, strained marital relationship, and behavioral challenges of her 11‑year‑old daughter that led her to enroll in the Super Parenting Hub’s Silver program, quickly followed by the Diamond program. Within a month she reports dramatic improvements: her husband began communicating warmly again without any direct effort from her, her daughter’s tantrums ceased after consistent exposure to subconscious audio and meditation, and her older children showed increased maturity and success. Marina also describes a health scare—a breast lump that was later found non‑malignant—attributing her calm mindset and positive affirmations to the program’s teachings. When asked about common concerns (unfinished Silver course, lack of time, and cost), she emphasizes personal willpower, the necessity of prioritising self‑growth, and the value of investing in the Diamond program, noting she borrowed money and still felt the investment paid off. Overall, Marina credits the Super Parenting Hub for transforming her relationships, family dynamics, personal health, and overall outlook, highlighting weekly meetings, affirmations, and meditation as key sustaining practices.

It gives me great pleasure, Marina, to have you at our Supermom Spotlight today. Please go ahead, introduce yourself and share your journey with all of us.
Uh, my name is Marina Menezes. I am based in Mumbai. I'm a teacher. I have 3 children. My elder one is, uh, 25 years old son, and second one is 20 years old daughter, and third one is 11 years old daughter. My daughter, 11 years old, was having a lot of issues. I attended the workshop and I immediately signed up for Silver. And when I signed up for Silver, not even a week I took, I felt this is amazing. And I got great results in my first workshop itself. And I realized that something is wrong in my, in my system, not with my child. So I want to take this Diamond course. I got the result very fast. I could see automatically my relationship with my child, my husband, everything is coming back. I didn't do anything for my husband. I had a very hard relationship with my husband for 8 years. We were just talking, whatever, like office-related, home-related, child-related. We used to just talk, that's it, nothing more than that. And I was not even feeling like cooking food for him. It was— situation was like that. But when I joined this course, I changed my mind completely and I started practicing all the videos and the script, whatever you told us. And I started listening to your classes regularly. And, you know, automatically my husband started talking to me. I didn't do anything to him. Automatically he started talking, he started laughing. He's back normal the way he was earlier. And it was really a great, great miracle in my life, I could say, where I got within a month, within a month, I'm telling you. And if I talk about my child, she was very arrogant, very— and the moment she gets up, she used to do a lot of tantrums to get ready for the school. And even studies, very hard, like screen time was increasing day by day. I was not able to manage anything. But when I started putting that subconscious video, audio, and initially she said, "No, I don't like Sidhika. I don't like your voice also." So then I didn't give up. I said, "No, it is for our good. It is for me also, for you also. Let's listen." So I almost put the audio for 35 days, and then automatically she never said anything to me after that. You know, if I go wrong sometime, I started taking pause with my child. So, you know, even she started telling me, Mummy, I need me time. You know, she started telling me, I need me time. And she started writing in the diary, you know, what is happening. Even I started writing, even she started writing. You know, it is like, you know, now I feel, you know, she's become so mature, I feel. And, you know, even in the school, like small, small things, she's able to handle. She started, you know, meditating in this class also. Affirmation for his teacher, for her teacher and students. Whatever things goes wrong, she does his affirmations immediately. And achievements, every time she's achieving. Now also, like recently one podcast was there, like they have to record a podcast in the school, like we have to record and send it. And her teacher was very happy, like the way she did the podcast on herself. So these are the things.
Wow, superb, Marina. So what if you could tell us a little bit about how you would describe life before, before you had joined the Silver and the Diamond, and after now?
Before joining Sidhika Goenka, I was stressed throughout my life. I was stressed, depressed, and, you know, I don't feel like doing anything in the house. I don't feel like talking to anybody. I was so— it was like very hard time I was going through. After joining now, I, as I told you, all relationship is healing by itself. I didn't do anything extra, only my meditation and my positive thoughts. You know, every moment, whatever it may be the situation, I keep my calm and I think positive immediately. I think positive and I send positive affirmation to the person whoever speaks anything negative about somebody or about me or about anything. So I learned a lot from your course and from you. And especially the weekly meetings what we are having, it strengthens us every day, every day. Like, you know, we can remember for 7 days what you're talking Tuesday, we can remember till next Tuesday, and we can implement what we are doing in our life. And you know, it is really— we need— you are like an angel to us. You are guiding us every day. You are guiding us. Now this is how you have to do. You know, we must have learned so many things from our parents, our society, but these things no one taught us. You know, no one taught us, and we will not find this system anywhere.
And how would you describe all three of your children who you have influenced through the system?
My 25-year-old is amazing. He is whatever the way he is, he's doing best, excellent in his job, in his career, the way he's living. I never expected, like, you know, he as a first child, pampered child, is doing extremely good. And my second daughter is more matured person. She's handling everything, the house, college and classes and job, everything she's handling alone, you know, is so amazing. And the third one is, touch wood, she is going more higher than other two because she is getting right energy from me and right corrections in the right way. So I'm definitely hoping she will do much better than other two.
When you join Diamond, you know, I just want to ask you, a lot of mothers say that, you know, we don't have the money or we don't have the time. Both of these are very important factors. A lot of mothers say, you know, I don't have the time, I'm very busy, I'm working, I can't take out the time, I've not finished silver, I've not done anything in silver, what will I get in diamond? What would you reply to these kind of questions? Because these are the 3 questions I get the most. Number 1, I've not completed silver, and silver has so many things, right? I give you a lot of knowledge, so most people say I've not finished it, um, so what is the point of joining diamond? Number 2 is I don't have the time, I can't do it. I don't know if I will ever be able to do it. And number 3 is, I don't have the money, or it's very expensive, I can't spend the money. What would you say to these questions?
Actually, I don't have time, I don't agree with that, because if you have an issue, if you want to change, definitely you will make time for yourself. And you want to change the environment in the house, your child, your family, definitely you will make time. You will sacrifice a little bit of sleeping time, and you will adjust, and you will listen to audios, and you will try to, because you're spending, right? You're spending and you have to work on it. We are working for ourselves. It is an investment for ourselves, not for anybody. Definitely we have to work hard to become a better person. That is the one thing. And even I did not had money, but I did not backed up, you know. I just, you know, you, you know very well how I tried to do it. But, you know, I asked help from my sister and then immediately I borrowed some money here and there and I solved the issue. And I'm so happy now. I don't feel— I don't have any regression that I paid 1 lakh and it is no use, nothing. I'm feeling extremely happy that I invested on right place and I'm getting whatever I want. I'm getting more than that, you know. It is not only what I wanted I got. No, I didn't get like that. I got more than that, which nowhere I was able to get. Even the retreats, even the healing centers or whatever it is, I was not able to get, but I got it from this system. So definitely I'll tell all the mothers, whoever wants to join Diamond and have little money, make some arrangements somehow. You make arrangements, and that I think you can resolve that issue easily. If you have a willpower, you can do it, and definitely you will benefit from this course. 110%, I can tell you, can benefit.
You joined Super Parenting Hub for parenting, right? But I want you to just shortly describe what areas of your life did it touch.
Truly, I joined for my daughter. Uh, 100%, I can say it touched me. So when I changed, automatically my child changed, and my husband also automatically he changed. And especially it started healing on my physical health. That was amazing, Sidhika Goenka. I had a lump in my right side breast and doctor suspected it is malignant. And then he said I have to do biopsy. I didn't want to do biopsy because I 100% knew it was going to be negative. But my husband forced me to do it. So I said, okay, fine, let us do it. Then when I got my result, it was negative for cancer. So, and this was Really, I'm telling you, it is because of you. I maintain my calm in my thoughts, words, and action— every area. Your positive affirmation and the way you taught us, like, how to remain calm in every situation, it has really helped me to balance myself.
You're a very, very strong woman, Marina, and all the magic, all the power is inside you. It was always there in you. Yes, all I did was just shared my experiences, what I feel about life, how we can, you know, kind of bring out the best in ourselves, and you did it. So it was 100% you, and I just want to thank you. Thank you so much for being a part of Super Parenting Hub, for activating your inner compass, and for bringing so much more beauty in the world. Thank you.
