The Secrets of Supermom Show

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...

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 Sup...

Has your marriage started to feel more like managing a household than being in a partnership?

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.

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...

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.

What happens when the kids leave home and you're suddenly wondering... Who am I now?

But what happens when everything feels urgent?

In this episode of the Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori Oberbroeckling continues the series “What If You’re Not the Problem: Productivity Systems Not Built for You (And How Moms Can Make Them Work)” by breaking down the Eisenhower Matrix—and why it can feel frustrating or impossible to apply as a busy mom.

The Two Minute Rule is one of the most popular productivity tips in the world. The idea comes from David Allen’s Getting Things Done system and sounds simple: if a task takes less than two minutes, just do it immediately.

In theory, it’s a great way to prevent small tasks from piling up.

But what happens when your entire day is already filled with two-minute tasks?
