Description:

Let’s talk time, mental load, and why “we all have the same 24 hours” is one of the biggest lies women are told.

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Megan Sumrell—time management expert and creator of Planapalooza—for a deep, honest conversation on why traditional productivity advice doesn’t work for most women. And spoiler: it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because you’ve been trying to use systems that were never designed for your brain, your season, or your life.

We get into the neuroscience behind why women process time, planning, and decision-making differently—and how to finally build a schedule that works with your brain instead of against it.

Whether you’ve been feeling scattered, behind on your goals, or just overwhelmed by the mental load that comes with life, kids, clutter, and expectations—you are going to love this one.

✨ What You'll Learn:
  • Why women experience “squirrel brain” (and why it’s not a flaw)
  • The science behind mental load—and how to take control of it
  • One simple shift that can instantly reduce overwhelm and bring clarity
  • Why you haven’t hit your goals this year (and what to do next)
  • The truth about “same 24 hours” productivity culture (and how to opt out)
  • How to plan your time in a way that reflects real life, not just appointments
