Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women
You wake up with a plan. By 10 AM, it's completely off the rails. By bedtime, you're mentally running through everything you didn't get to and wondering how tomorrow will be any different.
Work + Life Harmony is the weekly podcast that teaches women a completely different approach to time management, weekly planning, and productivity.
Hosted by Megan Sumrell, a time management expert with 20+ years in systems and planning, this show will change the way you think about your calendar, your to-do list, and how you spend your time.
Megan covers everything from weekly planning strategies and daily routines to goal setting, organization, and how to handle the curveballs that throw your whole week off. Her approach was built specifically for women managing work, family, and the million things in between, not recycled advice from productivity systems designed for someone else's life.
If you've been stuck in the cycle of overwhelm, guilt, and never-ending to-do lists, start here. New episodes every week.

3 Toxic Myths Burning Out Women-Owned Businesses
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What I saw on Shark Tank the other week perfectly illustrated the toxic business myths that are burning women out left and right. A college student with impeccable numbers and a highly profitable business didn't land a deal (not because his business wasn't amazing, but because he wasn't "hustling" enough). He was still in school, which meant he wasn't sacrificing everything, and that somehow made him less worthy of investment. Meanwhile, another couple with terrible numbers got a deal because they were broke and sleeping in garages.
Friends, we need to talk about this.
If you're a woman who's also a caregiver, these lies hit differently. When conventional business wisdom tells you that real entrepreneurs sacrifice everything, work 80-hour weeks, and achieve overnight success, it's sending a subtle message: you can't do this. But here's the truth... those are complete myths, and I'm living proof that there's another way to build a successful business without burning yourself out.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why the "sacrifice everything" mentality is toxic for women entrepreneurs
- The overnight success lie that's setting unrealistic expectations
- The two-option growth trap that leads to burnout and plateaus
- How these myths are causing women to close profitable businesses
- Why conventional business advice fails women (especially caregivers)
