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.

How to Set Boundaries That Actually Stick at Work and Home with Kendall Berg
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You know the boundaries you've set a hundred times before? The ones that work great for about three days until someone asks you to take on one more thing, stay late one more time, or handle one more crisis? We've all been there. Setting boundaries is the easy part. It's the keeping them that feels impossible when someone is standing in front of you asking for more.
In this episode, I'm sitting down with Kendall Berg, a career coach who learned about boundaries the hard way. After being told she was great at her job but terrible to work with, she made a complete turnaround that led to five promotions in six years. The secret? It wasn't working harder or longer hours. It was finally building boundaries that could withstand real-world pressure. Kendall shares why working 80-hour weeks never got her ahead, how having a baby forced her to rethink everything, and the exact framework she uses to maintain boundaries even when priorities shift and people push back.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
- Why setting boundaries is easy but keeping them is hard
- The three types of boundaries you need (time, communication, priorities)
- How to use PMRs (Proactive Mitigation Responses) when boundaries get pushed
- Why you can only focus on three priorities maximum
- How to create your Ideal Week to protect your time
