Work + Life Harmony | Time Management, Organization and Planning for Overwhelmed Women

by Megan Sumrell: Time Management and Productivity Coach

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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As someone who struggles with finding a work + life balance and a busy schedule overall, this show has made me make more intentional choices. Especially her approach to planning around what actually needs to get done instead of trying to fit more into an already full schedule. I think everyone could benefit from giving this show a listen!

Aiesha22 · Sep 2026

Megan has a gift for making time management feel practical and realistic rather than one more obligation that you need to be doing perfectly. Always actionable and worth a listen!

Ruby Ryba · Aug 2026

I’m so tried of impractical advice. Instead, Megan bridges the gap of relatable and aspirational by teaching strategies (inward and outward) that actually apply to my busy life.
