This conversation is for the woman who's accomplished a lot on paper, but still feels that quiet nudge that something's missing.

In this episode of Modern High Performer, I'm joined by Whitney Faires, a leadership advisor and mom of three who made a bold pivot from her high-powered corporate career into work that's far more aligned with who she truly is. We unpack what it means to feel unsettled in your success, and how to respond to the silent dream that keeps tapping you on the shoulder. Whitney shares what it really looked like to shift her identity as a leader, honor her ambition without burning out, and redefine what she wants her life and career to feel like especially in the season of motherhood.

We talk about:

• Why the "dream job" might stop feeling like a dream

• How to build magnetic leadership rooted in authenticity and self-awareness

• What to do when you're stuck between stability and a deeper calling

• How Whitney manages her time, energy, and household with intention

• The messy, but necessary, parts of letting go of who you were to become who you're meant to be
  
  

This is a must-listen if you're craving more meaning in your work, wondering what comes next, or navigating the in-between.

What does it really mean to be "successful" as a high performer… and still feel well?

In this episode, I'm joined by Cherylanne Skolnicki — founder and CEO of Brilliant Balance, speaker, and former Procter & Gamble executive — for a rich, honest conversation about ambition, energy, and the seasons of life we all move through.

We talk about how the pursuit of more can leave high performers feeling maxed out, even when things look good on paper and how redefining success through the lens of energy, relationships, and life alignment is key to building something sustainable. Cherylanne shares the pivotal moments that took her from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, how she teaches women to curate their calendars (instead of letting them run the show), and how perfectionism and outdated expectations are silently draining us.

You'll hear us explore:

• What it looks like to honor your current life season

• Why many women feel disconnected, overextended, or stuck

• How to manage your energy with clarity and intuition

• The role of ambition, rest, and recovery in high performance

• Permission to rewrite what success looks like for you in this season
  
  

If you've been feeling out of sync or wondering why success doesn't feel the way you hoped, this episode will help you reconnect to what matters most and move forward with more purpose, peace, and clarity.

If you've ever felt like you're doing too much for your team or you have to this episode is for you.

In today's conversation, I'm walking through one of the most common challenges high-performing leaders face: unintentionally becoming the bottleneck. Even when your intentions are good (and they usually are), it's easy to slip into habits that limit your team's growth and drain your time and energy.

We'll dig into:
✔️ The difference between empowering your team and rescuing them
✔️ What it actually looks like to build ownership and accountability
✔️ How to shift from "I'll just do it" to sustainable delegation
✔️ Simple language swaps that create more buy-in and less burnout
✔️ Why psychological safety is the secret to better performance
✔️ And how to align your vision so the team isn't always waiting on you

This is about reclaiming your time for higher-level thinking while developing a team that owns the mission, not just their to-do list. Whether you're leading one person or a team of 50, these strategies will help you stop doing it all and start leading in a way that's sustainable, effective, and energizing.
