Why the Life You Built No Longer Fits with Laura Kusto

Have you ever felt like the life you've worked so hard to create suddenly doesn't fit anymore?

In this episode, Lori sits down with Laura Kusto to discuss the profound shifts many women experience during perimenopause and menopause—and why these changes often go far beyond hot flashes and brain fog.

Laura explains how hormonal changes impact the brain, why high-achieving women often feel a deep sense of misalignment during midlife, and how this season can serve as a powerful invitation to reevaluate what truly matters.

Together, they discuss:

Why so many women feel like they're unraveling in midlife
What's actually happening in the brain during perimenopause and menopause
The connection between misalignment, stress, and physical symptoms
Why high-performing women often struggle the most with these transitions
How to adjust expectations without feeling like you're giving up
Navigating changing relationships, family dynamics, and responsibilities
When it's time to renegotiate your life—and when bigger changes may be needed
The importance of community and talking openly about this stage of life

If you've ever wondered, "What's wrong with me?" during this season, Laura offers a powerful reminder: nothing is wrong with you. You're experiencing a normal transition that can lead to greater clarity, confidence, and alignment with who you truly are.

Show notes

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

Powerfully Likeable: Stop Shrinking Your Ideas and Start Taking Up Space Apr 30, 2026

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.

Why Success Is Burning You Out (and What to Do Instead) Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

What if the way you’ve been taught to succeed is actually the thing burning you out?

In this episode, Lori sits down with Felecia Etienne, high-performance strategist and creator of the Aligned Advantage™ framework, to unpack the hidden patterns that keep high-achieving women stuck in cycles of overgiving, overwhelm, and exhaustion.

After burning out twice—once in corporate leadership and again in entrepreneurship—Felecia realized that success strategies built on constant output and self-sacrifice simply aren’t sustainable. Now, she helps women re-engineer success in a way that actually supports their energy, priorities, and real life.

In this powerful and honest conversation, you’ll learn:

The “operating system” many women are running (without realizing it)
Subtle early warning signs of burnout most moms explain away
Why you’re not actually choosing to put yourself last—and what’s really happening instead
How to start shifting your priorities without blowing up your life
A simple but powerful question to help you reclaim your time and energy starting today

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right—but still feeling off, overwhelmed, or depleted—this episode will help you finally understand why… and what to do next.
