Work-life balance?! What does balance mean and is there such a thing? On the podcast this week, Debra welcomes Cherylanne Skolnicki to talk about how you can achieve brilliant balance and live your dream life. 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 

• Cherylanne talks about work-life balance and explains what balance is and what it is not. 
• How the addiction to being busy is hurting us. 
• The importance of asking for help and why sometimes we ask for help when it was never really ours, to begin with. 
• How to get more done and build a sustainable business without feeling exhausted and burnt out. 
• How to have an energetic day. 
• Simple things women can do every day to feel better. 
• How to find your purpose. 

Want to be a rock star at work and at home? Cherylanne Skolnicki has the playbook. As an entrepreneur with a husband and three kids of her own, she knows exactly how it feels to have too much to do and not enough time to do it. It’s exhausting, it’s stressful, and it can be tempting to just give in to the chaos. 

Like most children of the 80s and 90s, Cherylanne grew up believing she could have it all. She started her first business while still in high school, and dreamed of one day becoming a CEO. After graduating from Cornell, she went to work for Procter & Gamble where she spent the next 15 years climbing the corporate ladder and managing a portfolio of well-known consumer product brands (one had more than $1 billion in global sales). Despite her demanding work schedule, she still traveled, ran marathons, and volunteered like a boss. And then she had 3 children. All of a sudden, the unrelenting pace she was running at felt unsustainable. 

That’s when she knew she had to reorder her life so all the pieces would truly fit – including not just a thriving career and family life, but also a good night’s sleep and some time to herself! 

It wasn’t easy at first, but she finally discovered a set of practices that truly worked. That prompted her to found Brilliant Balance, and her playbook has helped thousands of professional women reclaim rock star status over the last decade. 

Her company, Brilliant Balance, offers work-life mentorship and coaching programs to help you have a fulfilling career, a thriving family life, and a strong sense of self. 

Cherylanne is a sought-after speaker and hosts the top-rated Brilliant Balance podcast. Her work has been featured in Thrive Global, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Women’s Day, and Cincy Chic. She appears on TV news shows as an expert on work-life balance, productivity, and purpose. 

Cherylanne graduated from Cornell University in 1995. She holds an MBA from the Goizueta School of Management at Emory University. 

She is a member of the Female Founders Collective, one of Cincinnati’s 100 Wise Women, a Forty Under 40 Honoree, a happy wife, and a proud mom of three.

With over twenty years of experience as the founder of Boldheart.com, Fabienne has been a mentor to tens of thousands of women business owners. Her company has repeatedly been recognised by the media, and Inc. Magazine has named it one of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for three consecutive years.

Fabienne has the rare and unique ability to powerfully teach transformational concepts in an engaging and moving way, while inspiring her audiences to become a better version of themselves. Her TedX talk is one example of making a concept that is usually difficult to grasp seem absolutely attainable. 

As one would with fairy dust, Fabienne sprinkles self-worth and mindset principles onto all of her teachings. She teaches you to fight self-doubt, become infinitely more confident, and then get out of your own way so you can create a magnificent life you love.
