Can I be real with you for a second? Summer is here — and so are your kids. All day. Every day.   And listen, I love my kids more than anything. But if you are a working mom trying to keep your business running while your children are home asking for snacks every 45 minutes and fighting over more screen time— this episode is for you. Because here's the thing nobody talks about: summer doesn't actually stop your deadlines, your clients, your inbox, or your to-do list. It just adds three kids, a disrupted schedule, and a whole lot of mom guilt on top of it. So today I'm getting really practical and sharing exactly how to actually get work done this summer — without missing out on the memories, without working yourself into the ground, and without feeling guilty every time you close the door to get something done. We're talking about:  ✨ Why your summer productivity WILL look different — and why that's actually okay  ✨ How to map out your summer work schedule around your kids' activities and trips  ✨ Simple ways to set your kids up so they can play independently while you focus  ✨ Why batching your work is your absolute best friend this summer  ✨ And how to actually close out your work day so you can be fully present with your family This is real life, been-there-done-that advice from a mom of three who is figuring this out right alongside you — and I think you're going to walk away with at least one thing you can try this week. So grab your iced coffee — because it's summer after all — take a deep breath, and let's dive in.    Quick Announcement  We have some fun things coming up THIS week:    Supermom's Summer Camp is coming up THIS week (June 8-12th).

If you've ever found yourself feeling constantly tired — even after a full night's sleep — or like you're pushing through your day on sheer willpower, today's conversation is going to resonate with you. So many busy moms are juggling work, family responsibilities, and full schedules, and somewhere along the way exhaustion just becomes normal.  But what if it's not supposed to feel that way? Today I'm joined by Michelle McCoy, a wife, mom, board-certified holistic functional health coach, and high-functioning fatigue expert who helps midlife Christian women uncover the root causes of exhaustion and restore their energy naturally with God at the center. She's also the host of the globally ranked Treasured Wellness Podcast. In this episode, we talk about the high-functioning fatigue trap many women find themselves in, simple nutrition shifts that can help boost energy, the importance of tracking wellness habits, and a few lab tests to consider when fatigue won't go away. This is such a helpful conversation about listening to your body, stewarding your health well, and remembering that rest was part of God's design for us.  So grab your coffee or tea, settle in, and let's dive in. I pray this episode blesses you!

Do you often feel like you're holding up a bunch of spinning plates in the air and if you step back for a second, they will all crash down? Do you feel like you need to hold a million bits of information in your head to the point of weekly exhaustion and burnout?

Can I ask you something? Have you ever felt like becoming a mom completely changed not just your schedule — but your entire identity as a business owner? Like the person you were before kids and the mom you are now are two very different people — and you're just trying to figure out how to make it all work?  Friend, today's conversation is for you. I'm joined by Megan Yelaney — a business strategist who has helped over 1,000 coaches grow their brands by getting crystal clear on what makes them uniquely different. She's also a twin mom to Ayden and Kevin, fur mom to mini golden doodle Luna, a musical theatre junkie, and an avid fantasy smut reader — so she is absolutely our kind of people!  Megan shares her honest story of completely rebuilding her business after her twins arrived — and what it actually looks like to build something thriving in just 25 hours a week around your kids.  We're talking about: The identity shift that happens when you become a mom.  Megan's exact weekly schedule as a twin mom.  Boundaries that protect both business and family time.  How to switch between work mode and mom mode without the guilt.  The one thing every mom in business needs to stand out and get hired.  This is practical, honest, and so encouraging — I think you're going to love it.  So grab your coffee, settle in, and let's dive in.

Welcome back to The Busy Vibrant Mom podcast! I'm so glad you're here.  Have you ever opened your email, your calendar, or your planner and instantly felt overwhelmed?  Lately, I've been on a mission to get a better handle on my email — and I'll be honest, I had almost 200 unread messages just sitting there. The system I had in place wasn't working. I felt like I was constantly in reaction mode trying to keep up with tasks, get back to people, remember appointments, manage my kids' schedules and somehow still figure out what I was actually supposed to be focusing on.  And more often than not, I'd start in my inbox and never even make it to the things that actually mattered.  Does any of that sound familiar?  That feeling of a never-ending to-do list.  Trying to keep up with everything, but never quite feeling caught up? Recently, I attended a workshop by Lori Oberbroeckling on decluttering your calendar — and it was a game changer. I discovered there was one small thing I was doing wrong that was throwing everything off.  In today's episode, we're going to walk through how to declutter that overwhelming to-do list and the one simple shift that brought me so much more clarity. And honestly? It might just be the missing piece for you too.  So grab your coffee, take a deep breath, and let's dive in.    Reminder: Quick Announcement  We have some fun things coming up.   - Bundle: 3/30-4/30 The Mom's Spring Break Bundle (26 resources for $27)  https://strideproductivity.thrivecart.com/moms-spring-break-bundle/?affiliate=renew_conference  - Summit: Free Summit 4/20-4/24- Calm Connected Parenting Summit My Link To Share: (I'm speaking on 4/23) https://link.calmconnectionparent.com/ccp-2026/byrd - Other things: In the next few episodes we have some new amazing guests, that you will really enjoy.  The new website for The Busy Vibrant Mom is almost done and I'm planning some fun ways to celebrate!    I pray this episode today blesses you!

You're not alone… and you might be looking at it all wrong.In this episode, host Lori Oberbroeckling sits down with Hope Pedraza, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design Guide, and Clinical Hypnotherapist, to unpack the real root of burnout—and why it's not just about having too much on your plate.Hope shares a powerful reframe: burnout isn't about how much you're doing—it's about the energy behind how you're doing it.Together, they dive into the deeper layers of burnout, including the physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual components—and why addressing just one piece often keeps you stuck in the cycle.You'll learn:Why burnout isn't just about being “too busy”The connection between your body, nervous system, and energy levelsHow mineral imbalances can impact your mood, hormones, and overall wellbeingWhy “doing all the right things” might not be enoughSimple ways to start listening to your body and reconnect with what you actually needIf you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or like something just isn't working anymore—this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

This is the final episode in the series:

The Eisenhower Matrix is one of the most widely taught productivity tools, helping you sort tasks into what's urgent and what's important so you can focus on what really matters.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.When you're managing work, family, school communication, and the emotional needs of the people around you, urgency doesn't always follow neat categories. Instead of helping you prioritize, it can feel like everything lands in the “urgent” bucket.In this episode, Lori shares: What the Eisenhower Matrix is and how it's traditionally used  Why the system assumes you can control what becomes urgent  How motherhood introduces constant, unpredictable urgency Practical ways to adapt the matrix so it actually works in real life  How to identify true urgency, question false urgency, and still make progress on what matters most Because productivity systems aren't broken—but many of them were built for lives with predictable capacity, and motherhood runs on variable capacity.Want to Clean Up Your Calendar Too?If your schedule has been feeling overwhelming lately, join the Spring Clean Your Calendar Challenge.This free 4-day event helps you: step back from your schedule  clear calendar clutter  build intentional breathing room  create a calendar that actually fits your life You can join here:secretsofsupermom.com/springText us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

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?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 unpacking the Two Minute Rule and why it can quietly create more overwhelm for busy moms.When you're juggling work responsibilities, school communication, family logistics, and constant interruptions, your day can quickly become a stream of reactive two-minute tasks—leaving no time for the focused work you actually planned to do.In this episode, Lori explains:What the Two Minute Rule is and where it comes fromWhy the rule assumes your day is mostly focused work with only occasional interruptionsHow constant task switching can make moms feel even more scattered and overwhelmedA simple reframe called Two Minute Windows that helps protect your focus while still handling the small tasks that pop up throughout the dayBecause productivity systems aren't wrong—but many of them were designed for lives with predictable capacity, and motherhood runs on variable capacity.Want to Clean Up Your Calendar Too?If your schedule has been feeling overwhelming lately, join the Spring Clean Your Calendar Challenge.This free 4-day event helps you:step back from your scheduleclear calendar clutterbuild intentional breathing roomcreate a calendar that actually fits your lifeYou can join here:secretsofsupermom.com/springText us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!

The 12 Week Year is one of the most popular goal-setting systems in the productivity world. The idea is simple: instead of planning goals for an entire year, you treat 12 weeks like a full year so you can focus, create urgency, and make faster progress.In theory, it makes a lot of sense.You choose one or two big goals, create weekly action plans, track your execution, and measure your progress with a scorecard. The creators even recommend aiming for 85% execution each week to stay on track.But what happens when your weeks don't look the same?What happens when real life shows up with sick kids, school calls, travel, sports tournaments, work deadlines, and all the unpredictable moments that come with motherhood?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 popular 12 Week Year system.You'll learn:What the 12 Week Year actually is and how the system worksWhy the execution scorecard and weekly metrics can sometimes create pressure instead of motivationHow the assumption of consistent weeks can break down for busy momsPractical ways to adapt the system so it works with motherhood, not against itBecause the problem may not be you.It may be that the system was designed for lives with predictable capacity, while motherhood runs on variable capacity.And when you adapt these productivity tools to fit your real life, you can keep the parts that work—and let go of the parts that don't.Want some help with your own calendar?

What if the secret to feeling calmer, happier, and more fulfilled as a mom isn't about the perfect planner or better time management—but about healing your nervous system?In this powerful conversation, Dr. Amber Curtis joins host Lori Oberbroeckling to explore why so many high-achieving moms still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, even when they're “doing everything right.” You'll learn how subconscious programming and “little-t” trauma shape your daily reactions, why positive thinking isn't enough, and how to finally feel safe, calm, and joyful again.Dr. Amber shares how rewiring your brain and nervous system can transform your parenting, your marriage, and your inner peace...and why your happiness is non-negotiable.

In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori Oberbroeckling sits down with Krista St-Germain, master certified life coach and host of The Widowed Mom Podcast, for an honest conversation about something we don't often talk about: grief.As moms, we're balancing big goals, busy schedules, and family life—but when loss happens, everything changes. Whether it's the death of someone you love, a divorce, a career shift, or even the loss of the future you imagined, grief shows up in all of our lives.Krista shares what most of us get wrong about grief, the myths that keep us stuck, and how we can move through loss in a way that's real, compassionate, and life-giving.

"C-Roc" welcomes Lori Oberbroeckling, author of Secrets of Supermom to discuss the multi-faceted journey of motherhood and personal identity. Lori delves into the challenges many mothers face when their children grow up, often feeling a void in their identity. She emphasizes the importance of mothers maintaining their interests and passions alongside their parenting responsibilities, highlighting how this balance leads to a more fulfilling life and eases the transition when children leave home. Lori shares her experiences and insights from working with mothers, advocating for the necessity of retaining individual hobbies and professional goals even when parenting young children. This approach not only brings joy but also fosters resilience and self-worth independent of motherhood. The conversation transitions into the broader theme of self-identity, with both Lori and C-Roc discussing the dangers of solely identifying with a single role—whether it's being a mother, a professional, or any other defining label. Lori recounts her swift 34-day writing journey for Secrets of Supermom the challenges of the editing process, and how her perspectives have evolved over time, reflecting her continuous growth and learning. They also discuss the initial excitement of writing a book, the subsequent self-doubt, and the realization that personal experiences and unique viewpoints are incredibly valuable to others. The dialogue touches on leveraging one's platform for greater impact, balancing personal recognition with genuine influence, and the authenticity required to make a real difference.
