A Day In Her Life with Katharine Schellman – Flexible Routines, Communal Childcare & Carving Time for What Matters

This week on A Day In Her Life, Ellie chats with Katharine Schellman—author of beloved mystery novels and mom of two living in Virginia. Katharine shares her flexible, sociable, and intentionally full days as she balances writing, motherhood, and friendships.

In this episode, we explore:

  • No Perfect Morning Routine: Why letting go of rigid structure works for Katharine—and how she prioritizes more sleep instead.
  • Childcare That Evolves: How her family’s daycare, summer care, and afterschool plans shift by season—and the communal setup they’ve created.
  • Career Pivots With Purpose: How Katharine transitioned careers to create a work life that aligned with her values and talents.
  • Time for Friendship: The intentional ways she makes space for friendship and community amid work and parenting.
  • Household Planning: How she and her husband coordinate weekly schedules, manage nights out, and navigate work travel.

This conversation is a must-listen for women navigating shifting seasons of family life, evolving careers, and the constant balance of time, energy, and connection.
