Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of IHeart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

Today's episode is going to be a longer one, part of the series

where I interview fascinating people about how they take their days from great to awesome

and any advice they have for the rest of us. So today I am delighted to welcome Megan

Summerl to the Before Breakfast. Megan is a time management and productivity expert. She is the founder of the Pink

Bee and the host of the Work Life Harmony podcast, among many other things. So Megan, welcome to the show.

for women specifically. My background was actually in corporate IT. I spent over 20 years in the software and IT space where actually towards the end of my career,

I would go in and basically rebuild software teams from the ground up, optimizing their processes,

systems, procedures, et cetera.

I found myself at a place where I got married later in life, started a family later, and had a very

pivotal day when my daughter was about two, where I was still in the thick of trying to juggle

corporate life and motherhood and all of that. And a complete stranger asked me, what do you do for fun?

And I realized I didn't have an answer because I couldn't remember the last time I had done anything for myself.

My life was in service to work, family, all of that.
