About this listen

Join us as we speak to Lori Sugarman-Li who shares her powerful journey from thriving marketing career to motherhood, and her awakening moment when an insurance agent dismissed her worth as a "housewife."

This conversation unpacks how to transform invisible household labor into recognised, valued, and shared family responsibility.

In this episode you will learn:

  • Practical frameworks to make the mental load visible and fairly distributed
  • Strategies for transforming household work from burden to source of family pride
  • Techniques for creating effective "Family Flow" systems based on shared values
  • Guidance on redefining ambition through different life phases without losing yourself
  • Tools for conducting family meetings that actually work
  • Methods for aligning tasks with family members' strengths to reduce resentment
  • Approaches for raising children who contribute meaningfully to household operations


Lori powerfully reminds us that "women will never have equity in the workplace until they have it at home" while offering actionable solutions for creating sustainable systems that reduce maternal burnout.

You can also check out Lori's beautiful picture book "Our Home: The Love, Work, and Heart of Family" that celebrates the powerful connection between family members who share both space and responsibility.
