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.

Slowing Down When You Have a Full Life with Monica Virga Alborno
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you've ever caught yourself saying "I'm so busy" like it's some kind of achievement, this episode is calling your name. Monica Virga Alborno, founder of Wanderwild Family Retreats and former Fortune 500 energy engineer, joins me to talk about why moms tend to wear busyness as a badge of honor and what it's actually costing us.
This isn't about adding another two-hour morning routine to your already packed schedule. Monica shares practical five-minute resets and why normalizing rest for our kids might be one of the most important things we do. Plus, you'll hear about her incredible family retreats that actually let moms vacation WITH their kids without the exhaustion that usually comes with it.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why we wear busyness as a badge of honor and how to break that cycle
- The difference between a "busy" day and a "full" day (and why it matters)
- Practical five-minute rituals to create spaciousness in your overwhelmed life
- How living abroad shifted Monica's perspective on American mom culture
- Why asking for help doesn't make you lazy or less capable
- What family retreats that welcome children can teach us about slowing down
