    Finish Strong Part 4 — Who Do You Need to Become?

    What if the biggest transformation from reaching your goal isn't what you accomplish—but who you become along the way? We often think we have to achieve something BEFORE we can become the woman we want to be. When I finish my book, I'll be a writer. When I get consistent with exercise, I'll be someone who prioritizes her health. When I finally finish that project, I'll be someone who follows through. But what if we have it backward? You don't become her after you reach the goal. You reach the goal by practicing being her NOW. In Part 4 of our Finish Strong 2026 series, we're talking about identity, the stories we tell ourselves, and how small actions can help us become the women we want to be. Because sometimes the biggest thing standing between us and our goals isn't our calendar or our motivation. It's what we believe about ourselves. IN THIS EPISODE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT: Why we often wait until we accomplish a goal to see ourselves differentlyHow labels like "I'm disorganized" or "I never finish anything" can hold us backThe difference between who you are today and who you're becomingHow to identify the woman who accomplishes your Finish Strong goalWhy identity isn't about pretending to be someone you're notHow small actions build confidence and reinforce your new identityWhy becoming a woman who comes back to what matters might be the most powerful identity of all🎯 YOUR FINISH STRONG MOVE Complete this sentence: I am a woman who __________________. Or, if that feels like a stretch: I am becoming a woman who __________________. Then choose ONE small action you can take this week to practice being her. Maybe you're becoming a woman who makes time for her priorities. Maybe you're becoming a woman who takes imperfect action. Maybe you're becoming a woman who keeps promises to herself. Or maybe you're becoming a woman who comes back, even when life gets messy. You don't have to become a completely different person overnight. You just have to start practicing.

    Finish Strong Part 3 — Fit Your Actual Life

    You chose your ONE Finish Strong goal. You're excited. You're motivated. You're ready to make it happen! And then you look at your calendar. 😂 Between work, kids, activities, appointments, and the holidays coming up, when exactly are you supposed to find time for this goal? Here's the thing: You don't need to work harder. You need to make your goal fit your actual life. In Part 3 of our Finish Strong 2026 series, we're talking about why we create goals for Fantasy Us instead of Real Us—and how to stop setting ourselves up for frustration. Because a realistic goal isn't a smaller dream. It's a goal with somewhere to live. IN THIS EPISODE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT: Why even the best goals fall apart when they don't fit our real livesThe difference between Fantasy You and Real YouHow to consider your actual time, energy, and season of lifeWhy being realistic about your capacity isn't making excusesHow to use Good, Better, Best to create three meaningful finish lines for your goalWhy your BEST outcome shouldn't be the only outcome that countsHow to stop letting all-or-nothing thinking steal your progress🎯 YOUR FINISH STRONG MOVE Take the ONE goal you chose last week and create three finish lines: GOOD: What meaningful progress could you make by December 31, even if life gets busy? BETTER: What would a strong, satisfying finish look like? BEST: What would your ideal outcome look like if things go really well? Then ask yourself: Does my GOOD finish line actually fit my life right now? Remember, all three outcomes count as progress! JOIN FINISH STRONG 2026 — FREE! It's not too late to join us!

    Finish Strong Part 2 — The One Goal Rule

    You have goals. Probably LOTS of them. 😅 But trying to work on everything at once is often exactly why we don't make meaningful progress on anything. In Part 2 of Finish Strong 2026, we're narrowing it down. Last week, you brainstormed three things you could finish, accomplish, improve, create, change, or meaningfully move forward before the end of the year. This week, you're choosing ONE. Not your one goal forever. Not the only thing that matters to you. Just the one thing that deserves your focused attention right now. In this episode, we'll talk about: Why divided attention makes it so much harder to reach our goalsWhy something can be important without being your priority right nowThe five questions to ask when choosing your Finish Strong goalHow to decide between two goals that both feel importantWhy you need a Not Now ListHow to declare your goal—and make it real🎯 THE FINISH STRONG FILTER Take the three possibilities you identified last week and ask yourself: 1. Do I actually want this? Not should I want it. Do I actually want it now? 2. Does it matter? Will accomplishing it make something in my life better, easier, happier, or more meaningful? 3. Can I meaningfully move or finish it this year? It doesn't have to be completely done—but can you make progress you'll be proud of? 4. Is this the right season? Does this goal make sense for the life you're actually living between now and December? 5. Will December Me care? When December 31 arrives, will you be proud, relieved, excited, or grateful that you did this? Still have two goals? Ask yourself: Which one would create the biggest positive effect in my life right now? And if you're STILL tied? Pick one. 😉 🎯 YOUR FINISH STRONG MOVE Declare your ONE Finish Strong goal: My Finish Strong goal is __________ because __________. Then tell someone! Tell your spouse, your friend, your coworker, your kids—or reply to my Monday Finish Strong email and tell me. Writing it down is great. Saying it out loud makes it real. 🎉 JOIN FINISH STRONG 2026 — FREE It's not too late to join us!

    Finish Strong Part 1 — What Could Change in 10 Weeks?

    What could change in your life in the next 10 weeks? It’s easy to hit October and feel like the year is basically over. The holidays are coming, the calendar is filling up, and those goals you set way back in January? Maybe you’ve already decided they can wait until next year. But you still have time to do something meaningful. In Part 1 of Finish Strong 2026, we’re NOT trying to catch up on everything you wanted to accomplish this year. Instead, we’re starting with a little dreaming and asking: What would make you feel really proud when you get to December 31? In this episode, we’ll talk about: Why Finish Strong isn’t about cramming more into the final months of the yearHow to decide what still matters to you nowThree questions to help you uncover the goals you really care aboutWhy your goal doesn’t have to be completely finished by December 31How meaningful progress can still be a Finish Strong winYour very first Finish Strong Move🎯 YOUR FINISH STRONG MOVE Come up with your top three Finish Strong goal possibilities.

What would I regret automatically moving to next year? Don't choose your ONE goal yet! Next week, we'll use the One Goal Rule to narrow your three possibilities down to the goal you'll focus on for the rest of Finish Strong. 🎉 JOIN FINISH STRONG 2026 — FREE Get your free one-page Finish Strong Goal Tracker, weekly podcast reminders, your weekly Finish Strong Move, and Monday accountability check-ins: Finish Strong: secretsofsupermom.com/finishstrong ⭐ WANT TO GO VIP?

    BONUS | 90 Days Left: What Could You Still Accomplish in 2026

    What could you accomplish with 90 days left in the year? It’s October, and while it might feel like 2026 is practically over, there is still plenty of time to make meaningful progress on something that matters to you. But this isn’t about cramming an entire year’s worth of goals into the final three months or trying to “catch up” on everything you didn’t accomplish. Instead, it’s about choosing ONE meaningful goal and giving it your focused attention through the end of the year. In this bonus episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori introduces Finish Strong 2026—a completely reimagined 90-day experience designed to help busy moms choose one goal, create a realistic plan, and keep coming back to that plan even when real life gets messy.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why 90 days is still plenty of time to make meaningful progressWhy Finish Strong is NOT about catching up on everything you planned to do this yearHow choosing one big goal can help you focus your time and energyWhy making the plan isn’t usually the hardest part—sticking with it isHow to plan for real life, including low-energy days, sick kids, busy schedules, holidays, and unexpected interruptionsWhy consistency is less about being perfect and more about continually returning to your planHow the new Finish Strong 2026 experience will support you week after week through the end of the yearYou do not need a perfect 90 days.

    Why You Keep Having the Same Fight With Your Partner

    Has your marriage started to feel more like managing a household than being in a partnership? Between kids, work, schedules, mental load, and the never-ending business of family life, it’s easy for your relationship to get pushed to the bottom of the list. And before you know it, you’re having the same arguments over and over—or barely connecting at all. In this episode, I’m talking with marriage coach and mom of three Michelle Purta about how relationships change after kids, why couples get stuck in frustrating communication patterns, and what you can do to start feeling like a team again. Michelle shares why the thing you’re arguing about often isn’t the real issue, how our reactions can create a predictable “dance” with our partner, and why changing your own part of the pattern can shift the relationship—even if your partner isn’t ready to do the work with you yet. We talk about: Why so many couples unintentionally put their marriage on the back burner after kidsHow to recognize the patterns underneath your recurring argumentsWhy escalating and withdrawing can keep couples stuckThe role personal accountability plays in better communicationWhat you can do when your partner isn’t interested in coaching or therapyHow to know when it might be time to get outside supportOne simple question you can ask yourself today to start changing the way you communicateMichelle is a marriage coach, mom of three, and host of The Marriage and Motherhood Podcast. She helps couples move from reactive patterns to intentional partnership so they can feel more connected, supported, and like an “us” again while raising kids. If you’ve ever thought, Why do we keep having the same argument? or wondered how to feel like partners instead of roommates, this conversation is for you. Text us your feedback or questions!

    You’re Not Bad at Organizing: The Skill Every Busy Mom Can Learn

    Do you ever look around your house and think, “I’m just bad at organizing”? What if being organized isn’t something you either are or aren’t—but a skill you can actually learn? In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I’m talking with organizing expert and life coach Tracy Hoth about why so many busy moms struggle to get—and stay—organized, and why the real problem may have less to do with your stuff and more to do with the stories you’re telling yourself. Tracy shares her simple SPACE method for organizing just about anything: your closet, your kitchen, your calendar, or even all those thoughts swirling around in your brain. We also talk about why clutter is often just “delayed decisions,” how perfectionism keeps us stuck, and why you absolutely do NOT need an entire free weekend to finally get organized. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why organization is a skill, not a personality traitTracy’s five-step SPACE method: Sort, Purge, Assign Homes, Contain, and EnergizeWhy you should never buy organizing containers before you declutterA simple trick that makes deciding what to keep much easierHow to stop letting “I might need this someday” create unnecessary clutterWhy “I don’t have time to organize” might be costing you more timeHow 15 minutes can be enough to make real progressThe mindset shifts that can help you finally become someone who gets—and stays—organizedIf organizing your home has always felt overwhelming, this conversation will help you stop making your clutter mean something about who you are and start building the skill one small space at a time. Because you don’t have to organize your entire house this weekend. You just have to start somewhere. Text us your feedback or questions! Stay connected! Join us in The Supermom Society!

    The Consistency Code: How Busy Moms Can Finally Follow Through

    What if your struggle to stay consistent with healthy habits isn’t because you need more discipline? In today’s episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I’m talking with Courtney Townley, author of The Consistency Code and host of the Grace & Grit podcast, about what it really takes to create deep, sustainable health as a busy woman. Courtney challenges the idea that health is simply about eating well, exercising, or looking a certain way. Instead, she encourages women to expand their definition of health and develop the self-leadership skills that help them navigate changing seasons, competing priorities, and real life. We talk about why boundaries are an essential part of your health, how mom guilt can make it difficult to protect your time and energy, and why what looks like “self-sabotage” may actually be a capacity problem. Courtney also shares the four powerful practices behind The Consistency Code: awareness, organization, follow-through, and realignment—and why learning how to realign may be far more important than trying to get everything right in the first place. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why health is so much bigger than diet and exerciseWhat “deep health” really meansWhy boundaries are an act of care for yourself and your relationshipsHow your capacity affects your ability to follow throughWhy Courtney doesn’t believe most women are actually self-sabotagingHow to recognize when you’re becoming misalignedWhy consistency isn’t about never getting off track—it’s about knowing how to come backOne question that can completely change the way you approach your health in this season of lifeIf you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just be more consistent?” this conversation will help you look at that question in an entirely new way. Because health isn’t a destination you finally reach. It’s a direction—and you’re always one decision away from realigning. Text us your feedback or questions! Stay connected!
