The Secrets of Supermom Show

What if the reason productivity feels so hard… isn’t you?In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, Lori sits down with cycle-syncing expert and feminine leadership coach Renae Fieck to talk about why traditional productivity advice doesn’t work for women—and what to do instead.Renae shares her powerful story of building a business during one of the hardest seasons of her life, after her husband’s brain tumor diagnosis, and how that journey led her to completely rethink how women work, rest, and show up.You’ll learn how your energy naturally shifts throughout the month, why some days feel effortless while others feel impossible, and how to start working with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.This conversation is equal parts eye-opening and freeing—especially if you’ve ever felt like you’re the problem when you can’t keep up.In this episode, we cover: What “cycle syncing” actually means (in a practical, non-woo way)  Why women aren’t meant to operate on a 24-hour productivity cycle  The 4 phases of your cycle and how they impact your energy, mood, and focus  How to plan your work, workouts, and life around your natural rhythms  Why rest is a strategic productivity tool (not a luxury)  Simple ways to start paying attention to your energy today If you’re tired of pushing through, burning out, and wondering why things feel harder than they should… this episode will give you a whole new perspective.Text us your feedback or questions!Stay connected!Join us in The Supermom Society!

What does it really mean to "communicate while female"? Dr. Kate Mason — executive communications coach, world-champion debater, and author of Powerfully Likeable — joins Lori to unpack the invisible tightropes women walk at work every single day.Kate shares why likability is a form of power (not a liability), the difference between imposter syndrome and what she calls "imposing syndrome," and why women are statistically the best negotiators in the world — just not when negotiating for themselves.Plus: why the hard conversations you have at home make you better at work, how to advocate for a promotion without it feeling emotional, and the one small daily habit that changes everything.If you've ever toned yourself down to seem more "professional," or held back an idea because you didn't want to bother anyone — this episode is for you.Text 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 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?
