I’ll be the first to tell you, I love AI. I use it almost every day to support my work and personal life. But when it comes to planning your time, it is important to know where AI fits and where it doesn't.

After diving deep into several popular AI planning platforms, I am sharing the five major pitfalls I uncovered. These challenges are especially important to understand if you are balancing work, family, caregiving, and the realities of daily life. In this episode, you will hear why AI planning tools can actually create more overwhelm and where AI can truly support your planning in a helpful way.

In This Episode, We’ll Cover:

• Why your digital calendar will never be "smart enough" to run your life
• How AI planning tools make decisions without understanding what actually matters
• The danger of letting a tool prioritize your time without your input
• Why unpredictability and real-life pivots break AI’s logic
• The one way I do recommend using AI to support your planning

When we think about retirement, most of the conversation centers around finances. But what if that’s only part of the story? In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Monique Rhodes to talk about the part of retirement planning no one’s really talking about...the emotional and mental transition.

Monique shares why so many women hit retirement age and find themselves feeling lost, disconnected, or even invisible, despite doing everything they were “supposed” to. Together, we unpack the loss of structure, identity, and purpose that can come when careers end and roles shift and how to intentionally plan for what comes next.

Whether retirement is around the corner or years away, this conversation is filled with perspective-shifting insight and gentle encouragement to start thinking about the whole picture—your time, your joy, your relationships, and your purpose.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why financial planning isn’t enough to feel fulfilled in retirement
• The identity shift that can leave women feeling untethered
• The emotional toll of losing everyday social connections
• How to start building a meaningful post-retirement life before you get there

Working motherhood is one of the greatest juggling acts there is—and if you’re feeling like one dropped ball could send everything crashing down, you’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Armstrong, seasoned marketing executive, author, and mom, to talk about what it actually looks like to navigate a full-time career while raising kids—and how to do it in a way that’s sustainable, intentional, and aligned with what matters most.

Sarah brings not just wisdom from her book, The Art of the Juggling Act, but decades of real-life experience. From setting clear boundaries at work (and communicating them without guilt), to putting her laptop away on purpose, to giving herself permission to shift her work hours around her family, this conversation is packed with honest reflections and practical strategies.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why communicating your boundaries is just as important as setting them
• How to manage “Grace time” (and what that really means)
• What transference of hours looks like and how it supports working moms
• Why removing your laptop and phone from view can shift your presence at home
• How small intentional shifts add up to feeling more in control
