The Secrets of Supermom Show

You chose your ONE Finish Strong goal. You're excited. You're motivated. You're ready to make it happen!
And then you look at your calendar. 😂
Between work, kids, activities, appointments, and the holidays coming up, when exactly are you supposed to find time for this goal?
Here's the thing: You don't need to work harder. You need to make your goal fit your actual life.
In Part 3 of our Finish Strong 2026 series, we're talking about why we create goals for Fantasy Us instead of Real Us—and how to stop setting ourselves up for frustration.
Because a realistic goal isn't a smaller dream. It's a goal with somewhere to live.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT:
Why even the best goals fall apart when they don't fit our real lives
The difference between Fantasy You and Real You
How to consider your actual time, energy, and season of life
Why being realistic about your capacity isn't making excuses
How to use Good, Better, Best to create three meaningful finish lines for your goal
Why your BEST outcome shouldn't be the only outcome that counts
How to stop letting all-or-nothing thinking steal your progress
🎯 YOUR FINISH STRONG MOVE
Take the ONE goal you chose last week and create three finish lines:
GOOD: What meaningful progress could you make by December 31, even if life gets busy?
BETTER: What would a strong, satisfying finish look like?
BEST: What would your ideal outcome look like if things go really well?
Then ask yourself: Does my GOOD finish line actually fit my life right now?
Remember, all three outcomes count as progress!

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.
