The Secrets of Supermom Show

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?”
