Do you ever feel like you’re running on caffeine, sugar, and sheer willpower… and still crashing by 3 PM?

You’re not alone, friend.

Today on The Secrets of Supermom Show, I’m joined by Sarah Rau, a full-time accountant, health and wellness coach, mom of two busy teens, and Supermom Summer Camp alum. Sarah knows firsthand how easy it is to get stuck in what she calls the survival cycle—running on high-sugar snacks and coffee to get through the day, then winding down with wine at night, only to wake up feeling more tired than before.

We’re talking about how to break that cycle, boost your energy naturally, and build healthy habits that actually fit your real life—even if you’re juggling work, kids, and a to-do list a mile long.

And, if you’ve listened to Episode 247 about cycle syncing or Episode 248 about mineral deficiency, you’ll see exactly how Sarah’s strategies connect. Just like cycle syncing helps you work with your body’s natural rhythms, and mineral balance supports energy from the inside out, Sarah’s “bridge” approach helps you move from knowing what to do… to actually doing it, in a way that’s sustainable.

Episode 248 | Featuring Vanda from Wellness with Vanda

Have you ever felt off—exhausted, short-fused, low-energy—and yet your doctor says, “Everything looks normal”? You’re not alone, and today’s guest Vanda is here to explain why that happens and what you can actually do about it.

If you joined us for Supermom Summer Camp, you might remember Vanda from her lightning-fast session on hormone health. But this time, we’re slowing down to go deeper into why so many women feel tired, moody, or “not themselves”... and how it might be tied to mineral deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and not-so-helpful lab results that miss the bigger picture.

Ever feel like your energy, motivation, or mood is on a monthly rollercoaster? One week you're on fire, the next you're foggy, frustrated, or downright fatigued. If you’re nodding your head—especially while juggling mom life, work, and everything in between—this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show is exactly what you need.

In this powerful conversation, I chat with Stefanie Adler, functional health practitioner, hormone expert, and mom, about a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: cycle syncing for busy moms—or as she calls it, cycle informing.

This isn’t just about periods and PMS. It’s about learning to work with your body’s natural hormonal rhythms so you can feel better, show up with more energy, and create more ease in your everyday life.

Feeling like your time is slipping through your fingers—especially during seasonal transitions like summer or back-to-school? You’re not alone. In this episode, I’m joined by time management coach and fellow mom Michelle Byrd, host of The Busy, Vibrant Mom Podcast. Michelle shares her top 5 productivity hacks that help busy moms manage their time with more ease and less stress—no matter what life throws your way.

We’re talking about the real-life chaos that happens when routines shift (like when kids are suddenly home for summer or your school-year schedule kicks back in), and why trying to do all the things often backfires. Michelle shares how to avoid the most common time management mistake moms make, and why your systems should actually match your family’s rhythms—not someone else’s planner-perfect grid.

You’ll hear how a simple red/green door sign helped my own kids understand when I was available (or not!), plus Michelle’s smart takes on time blocking, batching, digital calendars, and choosing the right task manager for your brain.

If your to-do list feels a mile long and your brain is on overload, you’re going to love these practical, doable tips. Michelle’s advice is thoughtful, honest, and refreshingly flexible—because productivity should support your life, not control it.

Being a working mom is no easy feat—especially when you’re solo parenting for weeks at a time. In this episode, we’re joined by Kristen Nolan, senior client account manager at Interview Valet, military spouse, and mom of three. Kristen shares her honest and practical approach to juggling career, kids, and constant schedule changes.

We talk about how she stays organized during her husband’s long absences, why planning for the unknown is key, and how she uses her calendar not just to stay on track—but to make room for what matters most. Kristen also dives into her favorite productivity hacks, like using AI to create custom summer reading worksheets for her kids, and why she now blocks out personal time without guilt.

Whether you’re balancing meetings and math homework or navigating the chaos of summer break, this conversation is packed with relatable stories, helpful strategies, and encouragement for every busy mom trying to do it all.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your schedule, unsure how to find balance, or like you’re pouring from an empty cup, this episode is for you.

This episode is one of those conversations that just hits different. I’m joined by the incredible Ashley Strong Smith—host of Living an Intentional Life, former award-winning photographer, mama, fire wife, and a woman who has completely redefined what it means to live fully and intentionally.

Ashley shares how a single question—"Are you just existing or are you fully living?"—changed the entire trajectory of her life. And friend, if you’ve ever looked around and thought, “My life looks great… but why does it still feel off?”—this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about the quiet dissatisfaction that ambitious women often feel:
 ✅ You’ve built the career you dreamed of
 ✅ You’ve got the beautiful family
 ✅ You’ve checked all the boxes...

...but something’s still missing.

In this episode, Ashley and I talk about what it really means to live with intention, how to get honest about what you really want (even if it’s different from what you wanted five years ago), and how to start making small changes today that lead to a life you’re in love with—not just surviving through.
