In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm sitting down with someone incredibly special Kayla Lopez, one of my former 1:1 coaching clients, and a dedicated hockey mom of two.

Kayla shares what it really looked like to pause and pivot mid-career, not because she had to, but because she chose to get honest about what she needed in this season. From transitioning into a role that better fits her values to setting boundaries at work and home, Kayla gives us a real-time look at what it means to be both ambitious and intentional.

We talk about:

• How to set up your day to reduce distractions and preserve energy

• The mindset shifts she made to stop equating titles with success

• The invisible weight of the "default parent" role and how she and her partner started sharing it

• Her simple strategies for transitioning between work and home without carrying stress from one into the other

• What changed for her through 1:1 coaching and why investing in herself was the catalyst for growth

If you're feeling stretched between your career goals and your personal priorities or if you know a shift is needed but don't know where to start — this episode is your invitation to zoom out, breathe, and explore what alignment really looks like.
