The Secrets of Supermom Show

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 goals
• Why something can be important without being your priority right now
• The five questions to ask when choosing your Finish Strong goal
• How to decide between two goals that both feel important
• Why you need a Not Now List
• How 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.

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 year
• How to decide what still matters to you now
• Three questions to help you uncover the goals you really care about
• Why your goal doesn’t have to be completely finished by December 31
• How meaningful progress can still be a Finish Strong win
• Your very first Finish Strong Move

🎯 YOUR FINISH STRONG MOVE

Come up with your top three Finish Strong goal possibilities.

Ask yourself:

1. What did I really want to do this year that still matters?

2. What would make the rest of this year—or the beginning of next year—better?

3. 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.

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 progress
• Why Finish Strong is NOT about catching up on everything you planned to do this year
• How choosing one big goal can help you focus your time and energy
• Why making the plan isn’t usually the hardest part—sticking with it is
• How to plan for real life, including low-energy days, sick kids, busy schedules, holidays, and unexpected interruptions
• Why consistency is less about being perfect and more about continually returning to your plan
• How the new Finish Strong 2026 experience will support you week after week through the end of the year

You 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.

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 kids
• How to recognize the patterns underneath your recurring arguments
• Why escalating and withdrawing can keep couples stuck
• The role personal accountability plays in better communication
• What you can do when your partner isn’t interested in coaching or therapy
• How to know when it might be time to get outside support
• One simple question you can ask yourself today to start changing the way you communicate

Michelle 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.

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 trait
• Tracy’s five-step SPACE method: Sort, Purge, Assign Homes, Contain, and Energize
• Why you should never buy organizing containers before you declutter
• A simple trick that makes deciding what to keep much easier
• How to stop letting “I might need this someday” create unnecessary clutter
• Why “I don’t have time to organize” might be costing you more time
• How 15 minutes can be enough to make real progress
• The mindset shifts that can help you finally become someone who gets—and stays—organized

If 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.

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 exercise
• What “deep health” really means
• Why boundaries are an act of care for yourself and your relationships
• How your capacity affects your ability to follow through
• Why Courtney doesn’t believe most women are actually self-sabotaging
• How to recognize when you’re becoming misaligned
• Why consistency isn’t about never getting off track—it’s about knowing how to come back
• One question that can completely change the way you approach your health in this season of life

If 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.

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 people
• The surprising connection between loneliness, overachieving, and burnout
• Why connection with yourself has to come first
• How control can create compliance—but not connection—with our kids
• Shari’s four-part FLIP method for building stronger relationships
• A simple way to start creating the community and connection you’re craving
• Why 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.

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 leader
• How Melissa and her husband divide work, parenting, and home responsibilities
• Why organization and systems are essential—but flexibility matters just as much
• How to get creative about asking for and finding help
• Why the right support depends on the season you’re in
• The role communication plays when both partners have demanding careers
• Melissa’s simple “today list” strategy for overwhelmed moms

Melissa’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.

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 good
• Why clutter can become a constant visual to-do list
• How to declutter in just 5–10 minutes at a time
• Deanna’s simple five-minute family tidy
• How to tackle sentimental items without feeling guilty
• Why keeping fewer meaningful items can actually make them more special
• How to get your family involved so Mom isn’t the keeper of all the things
• The ridiculously simple “declutter box” you can start today

If 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.

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 more
• Why doing less can actually make you a better leader
• The difference between supporting someone and taking responsibility for them
• Why holding space for someone is different from holding their weight
• How over-functioning prevents the people around us from growing
• Why boundaries can feel so difficult for dependable, high-achieving women
• How to set boundaries based on your values instead of your exhaustion
• Why your capacity should be spent on what you choose
• The power of pausing before automatically saying yes
• Dawn’s simple three-question boundary check using energy, resentment, and enthusiasm

If 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?”
