Ever feel like you’re doing everything and still falling behind?
Like no matter how many lists you make or how early you wake up, your calendar is still chaos — and your needs always come last?

In this episode, I sit down with productivity and time management expert Megan Sumrell — founder of The Pink Bee and creator of the TOP Framework — to talk about why most traditional planning systems don’t work for women… and what actually does.

We unpack how to reclaim control of your time without rigid schedules, color-coded overwhelm, or burning out by Wednesday. Megan shares practical, shame-free strategies that help you plan around real life — including the kids, the mental load, and all the curveballs that show up on a Tuesday morning.

Whether you’re juggling a business, a household, or just trying to feel like you’re not failing at everything — this episode will leave you feeling capable, seen, and ready to create a week that works for you.

✨ We talk about:

Why women’s productivity struggles aren’t a personal failure
The “uncertainty buffer” — and why it’s a weekly game-changer
How traditional time blocking sets you up to fail
The powerful shift from daily to weekly planning
Why structure actually gives you more freedom (not less)
How to stop procrastinating — without guilt
