My life is rebalanced and I’m thriving

Brilliant Balance is an amazing podcast and I’m so glad that I found it. However I’m more grateful than I can even put into words that I signed up for the Brilliant Balance Revive program. This course literally changed my life. It was exactly what I needed at the right moment in time. I was weathering a few storms and felt myself living an untethered life. Brilliant Balance helped me get back on track, be a better version of myself, a better mother, a better wife and a better friend. I highly recommend this podcast and the course. Feed your mind weekly with what Cherylanne is creating. What a gift.

Has changed my life

I stumbled across this podcast accidentally when I heard Cherylanne speak as a guest on another podcast that I listen to. I have been catching up on the episodes ever since and this podcast and Cherylanne’s insight and tips have changed my life for the better. She has shown me why I’ve been feeling frustrated and burnt out at my job and has given me practical and realistic ways to start aligning my actions with my goals and start living as my true self. I am so grateful to the things I’ve learned from Cherylanne and this podcast and I am so excited for the future that she has opened my eyes to! Any working mother who may be feeling like their work is not bringing them happiness or fulfillment needs to listen to this podcast to learn how to make your life and your job work for you so you can start feeling like yourself again. Thank you!!!
