The Secrets of Supermom Show

Ashley Fillmore knows what it's like to do everything right and still not feel healthy.
As a nutrition coach, personal trainer, and founder of Metabolic Fix, Ashley opens up about her own journey from restrictive dieting, overexercising, and hormone imbalances to finding a sustainable approach that actually works. Together, we talk about why so many busy moms are exhausted despite trying to "be healthy," how social media has created more confusion than clarity, and why personalized health strategies matter.
If you've ever felt like you're doing all the "right" things but still aren't seeing the results you want, this conversation will help you rethink what true health really looks like.
In this episode, we discuss:
 Why "healthy" habits can sometimes do more harm than good 
 Signs your body is asking you to slow down and listen 
 The truth about overexercising and underfueling 
 Why one-size-fits-all wellness advice doesn't work for busy moms 
 How investing in your health creates a ripple effect for your entire family 
 Small, sustainable changes that actually last 
Whether your goal is more energy, better health, or simply feeling like yourself again, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to do more—you just need an approach that works for you.

Have you ever wondered why you can't seem to slow down—even when you desperately want to?
Maybe you finally sit down to rest, but your mind won't stop racing. Or you constantly feel like you have to keep doing more, achieving more, and checking one more thing off your list.
What if the problem isn't your discipline...but your nervous system?
In this episode, I'm joined by somatic practitioner Stephanie Nelson to talk about how your nervous system influences stress, anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and even your ability to rest. We explore why so many high-achieving women stay stuck in survival mode and how understanding your body's responses can help you experience more peace, energy, and resilience.
Whether you've ever struggled with feeling "always on," overwhelmed, or like productivity advice just isn't working for you anymore, this conversation will give you a completely new perspective.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why your nervous system is wired to prioritize safety above everything else
The surprising connection between anxiety, perfectionism, ADHD, and survival patterns
Why rest can actually feel uncomfortable (and what to do about it)
The four pillars of Stephanie's Somatic Bliss Method
How stored stress impacts your body and emotions
One simple practice you can start today to bring more compassion to yourself
If you're ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, this episode is for you.

When you hear the word negotiation, you probably think about salary discussions or business deals.
But what if I told you that you're negotiating dozens of times every single day?
From asking your spouse to help with dinner, to dividing household responsibilities, setting boundaries at work, or saying no without guilt—negotiation is happening constantly. And learning how to do it well can completely change your life.
In this episode, I'm joined by negotiation and influence expert Attia Qureshi, former MIT faculty member, University of Michigan professor, and author of Never Settle. Attia shares simple, practical strategies that help busy moms advocate for themselves without creating conflict or damaging relationships.
We discuss:
Why negotiation isn't just for the boardroom
The everyday negotiations moms don't even realize they're having
A simple phrase that makes it easier to ask for help at home
Why saying "just ask for what you want" often doesn't work for women
How to negotiate for more support, time, and balance
The hidden negotiation happening inside your own mind
Practical ways to set boundaries without guilt
How practicing negotiation in small moments prepares you for the big ones
If you've ever found yourself saying, "It's just easier if I do it myself," this episode is for you.
