    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. Starting October 8, you’ll get one focused lesson and one small action step each week to help you build momentum, stay consistent, and finish the year feeling proud of what you accomplished. 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. You just need a goal that matters, a realistic plan, and the willingness to keep coming back. One goal. Ten weeks. Finish the year proud.

    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!

    Why You Feel Lonely Even When You’re Never Alone

    Are you surrounded by people all day long—and still somehow feeling lonely? For busy, high-achieving moms, loneliness doesn’t always look like being alone. It can look like filling every minute, taking care of everyone else, saying yes to one more responsibility, and staying in constant “doer mode.” But underneath all that productivity, you might actually be craving something deeper: real connection. This week on The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori sits down with friendship and connection expert, bestselling author, and former litigator Shari Leid to talk about why connection matters so much—not just in our friendships, but in motherhood, leadership, work, and our relationship with ourselves. Shari shares why loneliness can contribute to burnout, why being surrounded by people isn’t the same as feeling connected, and why our instinct to control or fix things can actually get in the way of the relationships we want most. You’ll also learn Shari’s FLIP the Box method for creating deeper connection. Plus, Shari shares what she discovered after traveling to all 50 states and sharing a meal with a different woman in each one—and why connection begins when we stop trying to be interesting and start being interested. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why you can feel lonely even when you’re surrounded by peopleThe surprising connection between loneliness, overachieving, and burnoutWhy connection with yourself has to come firstHow control can create compliance—but not connection—with our kidsShari’s four-part FLIP method for building stronger relationshipsA simple way to start creating the community and connection you’re cravingWhy you shouldn’t wait for community to find you: Don’t wait. Create.If you’ve been so busy managing the schedules, solving the problems, checking the boxes, and taking care of everyone else that you’ve lost a little connection with yourself—or the people around you—this conversation is for you.

    How to Lead, Mother, and Adapt When Life Gets Messy

    What happens when you’re a planner, a business owner, a mom…and life refuses to follow the plan? In today’s episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I’m talking with Melissa Core-Caballo, Founder and CEO of Dead Horse Branding, about what it really looks like to lead a growing company while raising a family—and navigating the seasons of motherhood you could never have planned for. Melissa shares how becoming a mom changed the way she leads, why she had to learn to step out of the middle of her business, and how her daughter’s NICU stay and brain surgery forced her to rethink what balance, leadership, and support actually look like. We talk about the systems that keep her family and business running, the constant communication required when you work alongside your spouse, and why sometimes the help you need isn’t the help you initially think you need. Melissa also shares how she evaluates what to outsource, why flexibility is just as important as organization, and how she finds calm when life feels anything but calm. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why stepping back can actually make you a stronger leaderHow Melissa and her husband divide work, parenting, and home responsibilitiesWhy organization and systems are essential—but flexibility matters just as muchHow to get creative about asking for and finding helpWhy the right support depends on the season you’re inThe role communication plays when both partners have demanding careersMelissa’s simple “today list” strategy for overwhelmed momsMelissa’s reminder for busy moms is simple: you don’t need to figure out everything at once. Focus on today. Write down the few things that will make tomorrow easier, create more space for your family, or help you feel a little more balanced—and start there.

    Is Your Clutter Stealing Your Time and Energy?

    What if the clutter in your home is costing you more than just space? If you’ve ever looked around your house and felt instantly overwhelmed by the piles, laundry, papers, toys, and stuff everywhere, this episode is for you. Today, I’m talking with Deanna Yates, recovering perfectionist, busy mom, and host of the top-ranked Wannabe Clutter Free podcast. Deanna helps high-achieving moms clear the clutter from their homes and lives so they can create spaces that actually support them instead of draining them. And this conversation isn’t about having a Pinterest-perfect house. We’re talking about how clutter affects your mental load, energy, focus, and productivity—and how letting go of the things you don’t need can make everyday life feel so much easier. Deanna shares why perfectionism can make our homes feel harder to live in, how visual clutter quietly drains our energy, and why you absolutely do NOT need an entire weekend to start decluttering. We also talk about: The difference between a home that looks good and one that actually feels goodWhy clutter can become a constant visual to-do listHow to declutter in just 5–10 minutes at a timeDeanna’s simple five-minute family tidyHow to tackle sentimental items without feeling guiltyWhy keeping fewer meaningful items can actually make them more specialHow to get your family involved so Mom isn’t the keeper of all the thingsThe ridiculously simple “declutter box” you can start todayIf you’ve been telling yourself you’ll deal with the clutter when you finally have an entire free Saturday, Deanna is going to give you permission to start much, much smaller. Because your home doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to work for the people actually living in it. Text us your feedback or questions! Stay connected! Join us in The Supermom Society!

    The Curse of the Capable: Why Doing More Is Burning You Out with Dawn Andrews

    Are you the person everyone counts on—the one who can always figure it out, squeeze it in, or take on one more thing? Being capable is a gift, but it can also become a trap. In today’s episode, I’m joined by business strategist and executive coach Dawn Andrews, Founder and CEO of Free Range Thinking, to talk about what happens when capable women become responsible for too much—at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Dawn shares why highly capable women are especially vulnerable to burnout, how caring leaders can accidentally take on responsibilities that belong to other people, and why doing more isn’t always the best use of your capacity. We also dive into boundaries—and a completely different way to think about them. Instead of waiting until you’re exhausted and finally declaring, “I can’t do this anymore,” Dawn encourages us to build boundaries around what we value and want to protect. In this episode, we talk about: The “curse of the capable” and why capable women often end up carrying moreWhy doing less can actually make you a better leaderThe difference between supporting someone and taking responsibility for themWhy holding space for someone is different from holding their weightHow over-functioning prevents the people around us from growingWhy boundaries can feel so difficult for dependable, high-achieving womenHow to set boundaries based on your values instead of your exhaustionWhy your capacity should be spent on what you chooseThe power of pausing before automatically saying yesDawn’s simple three-question boundary check using energy, resentment, and enthusiasmIf you’re tired of automatically asking, “How can I make this work?” every time something lands on your plate, this conversation will help you start asking a much more important question: “Do I actually want to?” Text us your feedback or questions!
