Your hard work can be hard on others. When we are excessively stressed, it can easily spillover from work into family life. It affects how we interact with people - especially those closest to us - EVEN if we don’t see it. The truth is, whenever we start to fall out of balance, we think we can hide it. We think no one will notice. But more often than not, it’s us, ourselves, who are the last to spot when we’re overloaded. In today’s show, we’re going to cover some helpful strategies to identify when you’re overworked so you can get back into a state of balance and be present with those closest to you.

The dog days of summer. That season in the year that can drain your productivity to a snail’s pace. We stay up later than usual, attend parties, and take longer vacations (all fun, but…).

So today I’m going to share a framework to help you decide if you need to speed up...or slow down. The key to it all is clarity - even when getting it feels uncomfortable.

Feeling comfortable is usually a good thing. But becoming too comfortable and complacent can hold you back from growing and moving forward. As an ambitious woman striving to reach your highest potential, I can tell you from experience that you’ll never get there if your “porridge” is always “just right.” One of the most significant challenges high-achieving women face in business is having the confidence to know when their “porridge” is “just right,” (aka when they’ve become too comfortable in their current job). So today we’re going to dive into what a Goldilocks job is, how to know when you’re psychologically stuck in one, and 3 actionable steps to help you move towards your true potential. Here Are The Highlights: - What is a Goldilocks job and how to tell if you’re in one (3:30) - The red flag statement that screams “You’re in the wrong job!” (4:45) - Why you should never let money or benefits keep you at the job you dislike (9:45) - A ‘natural’ way to carve out more time to think (14:30) - Download your Rebalancing Toolkit to design a week that lets you feel like you have it all: https://brilliantbalance.net/haveitall Join the Brilliant Balance Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/281949848958057/   Learn more about Cherylanne’s work: https://cherylanneskolnicki.com   Start listening now!

The inevitable ups and downs of life can really have an impact on our confidence; the trust (and faith) we have in ourselves and our abilities.

Many women are drawn to the idea of entrepreneurship because they want the flexibility it provides. Being able to work when you want, where you want, and with whom you want is extremely attractive. But if you’re not careful about how you design your business at the start, you can find yourself worse off than you were back in your corporate job. So today, I want to talk about what it really takes to design a balanced business. A business that can grow to the size and scale you want it to grow without breaking your life in the process. Here Are The Highlights: - An expansive question to help guide your life beyond just your business (3:50) - Why managing your energy and time is the key to maximum productivity (5:30) - How to decide which business model to choose when starting out (8:40) - How to get more focused on what you’re great at (14:45) - Training yourself to let go of work and hiring easily capable people (16:30) - Getting out of your own way to get ahead (17:30) Ready to be brilliant?

Waiting to be picked is a dangerously addictive behavior. In fact, it’s so powerful, it can actually cloud our judgment later in life. I’ve watched countless women being pulled off their life's path because they’ve succumbed to the power of being chosen for something they actually don’t want to do. They say yes to something even before they’ve had a chance to think about what they’re agreeing to. Today I want to share with you three questions to think about the next time someone chooses you. These critical questions are designed to help you make the best choice...for YOU. Here Are The Highlights: - The highly addictive power of saying ‘yes’ or being chosen (7:00) - Arguably the most important question to ask yourself when making - a decision or being chosen (9:40) - By saying yes to something, are you saying no to something more important?

As we near the end of another school year a lot of women start to assess themselves at the same time their children are being assessed. And while this can be a great practice, sometimes it makes us too hard on ourselves. Most women are ALREADY too hard on themselves. Feeling stuck in the cycle of not doing anything well enough kickstarts a constant cycle of guilt, or even shame, for not living up to a standard someone else has set, or we have set for ourselves. We become our own worst critic. So today I want to dig into three of the most common thought patterns many high achieving women get into that may be causing you pain - and also the danger of staying there and not knowing how to move through this pattern to a better place. Here Are The Highlights: - The flawed thought pattern holding many women back from achieving more (5:00) - How not to repeat the same mistakes over and over again (8:20) - How to quickly redirect and train your brain to focus on problem-solving (11:45) Ready to be brilliant?

 Mother’s Day is quickly approaching! This is the day we celebrate with flowers and cards and breakfast in bed… So here’s a question for you...what message would you like to find in your Mother’s Day card? Do the card companies have your number? Or are their messages off track for the kind of mom you aspire to be?

Our culture has embraced entrepreneurship in a truly positive way. Back in the 90’s, entrepreneurship wasn’t a popular career path - unless your parents were entrepreneurial and you were stepping into their family business. Now, it seems the idea of starting your own business is the best way to establish balance, flexibility, and freedom between work and family. But as you’re going to discover today, entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. Today, we’re talking about entrepreneurship and specifically how it relates to working mothers. I want to paint a realistic picture, and show you three things that make entrepreneurship an incredibly attractive path for many working moms...and a big mistake for others. Here Are The Highlights: - Three things you have full control over as an entrepreneur (6:40) - Your connection to purpose and why your work matters (8:30) - Proceed with caution: The three ‘deal breakers’ of entrepreneurship (10:30) - Should YOU be an entrepreneur?

In life, there are three arenas in which all high achieving women feel compelled to compete, and it’s never enough to be good at just one of them. We hold ourselves to a high standard - we want to excel in ALL of them, and more often than not, this becomes a frustrating game of whack-a-mole. Today I want to break down the Modern Mom Trifecta and show you a way to balance these seemingly competing priorities to create a dynamic sense of stability and fulfillment. Here Are The Highlights: - The ‘trifecta’ for high achieving modern moms (2:00) - Chasing the traditional version of success and why it could be holding you back (4:35) - Striking a healthy balance between business and family (7:30) - Self-Care: Why YOU should always come first (9:50) Ready to be brilliant?

Today I want to share the three types of mentors that you can seek guidance from at different times in your life.
