THE FALLACY OF BALANCE WITH CHERYLANNE SKOLNICKI

 Modern Mommy Doc

CATEGORY: Website Editor

Did you grow up being told that you could have it all?


Do you “have it all” but have absolutely no idea how to balance it all?


Cherylanne Skolnicki is a former corporate ladder climber turned entrepreneur who founded Brilliant Balance, a work-life mentorship program that helps professional women honour their calling at work and at home so they can shine in both places.


Cherylanne joins me today to talk about the fallacy of “having it all,” what balance really means (other than a buzzword), and why women need to stop feeling lucky if they have a workplace that allows them flexibility.


We also talk about how the pandemic has really illustrated the challenges that women face in the daily balancing act of life, and Cherylanne gives insight into how we can all start to find balance starting right now.
