"I now have room to breathe! I really didn’t think I could live like this!"

DAWN C.

Travel Industry / Non-Profit

I made the decision to join Breakthrough because I knew I couldn’t go on the same trajectory. I was missing genuine presence - I felt like I was going through the motions and only seeing my daughters in the rearview mirror - I was just driving them around rather than enjoying the time together.

After enrolling in Breakthrough, I realized I can be both a mom AND an employee AND can get the life I want, not just the job I want; and, I'm passing on these life lessons to my 2 beautiful daughters.

I have truly benefited from learning to say 'no' and discovering my legacy with my non-profit. I have became a better friend, as I now hear my friends differently - I am listening better. I have learned to respect time more the importance of foundational balance practices. I feel much closer to my husband and my daughters now.

I would recommend the program if you feel like something is missing or feel like you’re in a hamster wheel. Just do it!

"I have increased confidence and now see myself in a whole new light. I'm just plain happy!"

CYNTHIA C.

Founder, Rocking Over 40

When I first started working with Cherylanne, I was at a turning point in my life, having just left my full time job to pursue my own venture. Starting my own blog.

I was dedicating long hours and travel to work at the expense of my family. Even when I was home, I wasn’t really there. My mind was on work and everything I needed to get done the next day. Meanwhile, my kids need me now more than ever as they get older. All the logistics and planning of others running my household and picking up my kids was driving me crazy.

I immediately jumped on the "Cherylanne" bandwagon and reached out to her. I had just left my job, my career, my identity if you will. I was a blank canvas and I needed some guidance in this new stage of my life.

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE OF CYNTHIA'S STORY

I was a bit nervous and apprehensive about working with Cherylanne it at first. I wasn’t sure if I was cut out to work with a coach. Most of my life I had figured things out on my own. I wasn’t used to working alongside someone who didn’t know me or know what I was made out of, where I came from. How could she really help me? But once I decided to go for it, I knew that the only way this would be a successful experience for us was if I gave 100% of me and worked really hard on all the assignments.

I loved working with Cherylanne. I think the whole experience delivered a lot more than I expected. She had a way of looking at my entire life as it relates to achieving my goals. She helped me shed a new light into different situations I was encountering. I believe I came out a lot stronger in the end. More confident in my abilities because I understood where I was coming from.

Everything she asked us to do, all the exercises that dove deep into who we are, what our values are, what we believe in, what are barriers are, what are ideals are, what are dreams are and so on are so tied with everything that we do now. It all contributes to how we move forward in life. My biggest breakthrough was learning so much about myself, just bringing it all to the table really helped inform why I am the way I am, why I behave a certain way. She gave me the tools to overcome obstacles and continue moving forward.

Throughout the coaching process I experienced increased confidence and now see myself in a whole new light, and I'm just plain happy! I’m able to manage my life better and with all of that comes peace of mind. Not having enough time to do what I want to do has always been a big hurdle for me, but breaking out all the hours of the day and doing the Time Study helped me overcome this.

I was able to implement my Rocking Over 40 website and social media outlets. I'm more organized and am following through. All the methods and techniques she taught me really helped me tremendously. I stand up to my fears with more courage to face them, and I have increased confidence in myself and my capabilities.
If I hadn’t decided to work with Cherylanne, I’d probably still be working on launching my site and stuck in a rut.

Kate C.

Digital Marketing

Something needed to change... I felt like everyone needed something from me, and I couldn't even give enough to myself, let alone the people I cared about it. I think it's so powerful when you say there was barely enough time for myself in my life, but Brilliant Balance changed that.

Michelle H.

The Brilliant Balance team is amazing! They're so supportive, encouraging, so uplifting. They've worked with so many women and have so much experience and knowledge.

Life without the program would be 'abysmal,' and I would still be 'swirling in a drain of hopelessness' had I not enrolled.

I have already had some massive changes to my life because of the coaching so far that I wanted to outline to you… I am now getting 7+ hours of sleep per night vs. old way of 5-6. Massive change with energy. I have now for the last 4 weeks utilized Evernote as well as…

Cherylanne, I wanted to thank you again for your time last week. That hour was truly transformative for me and I’m grateful! In this past week, I’ve devoured your videos on time management and getting a handle on your calendar. It has made a big difference for me. Things are getting done and I’m not…

I just want to say how impressed I continue to be with you and all that you do - and how beautifully you tell the truth to inspire us! Thank you for sharing your insights and celebrating the real lives that we all lead, and helping motivate and encourage us in the process. Wishing you continued success and happiness!

~ Allison O.

I have to say I have had the BEST week I can remember in a long time! I've accomplished a ton, felt so much more present with friends and family, and truly enjoyed play/rest time that I was able to set aside. I seem to be shedding that ever-present cloud that was lingering above me filled with all the things I should be doing but don't know how I'll ever do. I proved to myself that I could make some real changes.

~ Sue K. after her second week in coaching

Thank YOU so much for today! You gave me a new found sense of hope. I walked away from our meeting today feeling like everything is possible after all, and that was a fantastic feeling. I'm excited at the thought of working with you and going through your program. I definitely feel like it will be a game changer for me.

Success Stories from Our Clients Seeking Purpose...

Hear from our clients in their own words...

"I'm no longer 'wishing upon a star.' I have an attainable plan and know what it will take to get there."

DANIELLE B.

Finance IT

I joined Breakthrough to get more out of my career and to find my true purpose. I was in a role with good visibility, but I kept questioning 'what's next?' I kept telling myself I should be happy with how far I've come and with where I am, but I just didn't feel like my current position was tapping into my life's passion.

I was also looking to strengthen and prioritize relationships in my personal life - I wanted to make sure I was carving out enough time to invest in those I truly care about. The legacy statement work helped me to deepen and develop more genuine connections.

Cherylanne's story resonated with me. She 'got my weird' right away and it was comforting to know that I’d be working with someone who understood me - my spirit. I didn’t feel like I was talking to a stranger, and she truly wanted to help me get there.

In working with Cherylanne, I have developed a plan that is attainable and not just a 'wish upon a star.' I know where I want my life to go, and I know what it will take to get there. For instance, I told Cherylanne I wanted to go to Africa and learn Swahili - I have since booked the trip and am being more intentional in making it happen.

"I now have a more rewarding, purpose-driven set of work and a better quality of life."

Heather W.

Marketing Director

Before everything felt like it was happening to me, and now I'm creating the life that I want and living it out with purpose and satisfaction.

Carolyn M.

Health Care

This program helped me wipe out my limiting beliefs - and I came from so many limiting beliefs - but now I am, ready to go and fly!

Jennifer S.

Continuous Improvement Technology Exec

I feel like a weight has been lifted. It is the most beautiful experience I've had, next to having children and being married. I'm very grateful.

Katie S.

Public Relations Manager

I spent years looking for balance with no success. Without Breakthrough, I would still be trying to figure out my calling and would still be in my old job and would have anxiety from the time passing me by.

Tracey B.

IT Executive

We've been in our new dream home for about 3 months now, and I've been in my new job for about 7 months. Big changes!

ALMA

Life Coach, Get Unstuck Today

As moms and as caregivers, we often feel guilty for investing in ourselves because we feel like we're taking away from our family. But in order for us to become more effective for them, we have to invest in ourselves. We have to invest in taking care of ourselves and nourishing our own dreams and our own visions.

I was tired of being stuck, feeling the years were flying by, not really seeing any progress toward the dreams I have had. I felt like I was selling myself short.

Throughout this program, my heart was poured into becoming the woman I want to be. I was able to hone in on my dream and develop a clear action plan to move forward... my dream finally looks attainable because of the Blueprint I created!

This is worth WAY more than I invested to be in it, and it was exhilarating!!

Katie K.

I’m working on Week 10. I’ve finished the videos and was addressing the purpose prompts. Rather than let myself get anxious about it, I went into it with a sort of mellow and open mind. I don’t remember which one, but I just ran smack-dab into something Cherylanne said in one of the videos. I…

Thanks for all your support and your firm commitment to moving forward. You have inspired me to be the person I always felt was possible, but didn’t have the support and tools to do myself. I look forward to our phone call Tuesday morning, and am finishing up with my life map and project plan!

Carolyn M.

When I first came to the program, I was moving toward becoming a nurse. It’s what I wanted to do my whole life. It had to be my dream. It had to be my purpose. So I decided to go on for my RN program. Through the Brilliant Balance program and a lot of work,…

Adrena M.

I found Brilliant Balance during a time of transition from corporate life to becoming an independent consultant with Rodan and Fields. I had been struggling with being fully present to re-engage back into corporate life after taking a much-needed sabbatical. I knew I had to find something different, but did not know where to start.…

Thank you! You are helping me bring my life to an entirely new level! Thank you for doing what you are meant to do. You made a huge difference for me and I am certain so many others.

Success Stories from Our Entrepreneurial Clients...

Hear from our clients in their own words...

"I would absolutely say my life is much better since going through Breakthrough."

JESSI S.

Founder & Creative Director, Print & Pixel Creative

I was struggling to bid five-figure jobs - it was very uncomfortable for me. After working with Cherylanne, I'm securing multiple five-figure projects, even six-figure projects. I'm forecasting beyond a year, and it's so much less stressful.

I didn't realize how much my mindset and my own personal limiting beliefs were getting in my way. Cherylanne helped me put that scarcity mindset aside.

There are not enough words to describe how much she has helped me. The support from Cherylanne has been amazing.

"Worth every penny... my business growth has paid for my coaching investment tenfold."

STEPHANIE S

Founder, 100 Degrees Consulting

When I started working with Cherylanne, I had a business idea but was completely unsure of how to start. I was unhappy with my job, and deep in the throes of infertility. I knew something in my life had to change. Through Cherylanne’s coaching, I was able to get focused, dive in, and create my company. I landed four clients within a couple months using a targeted cold email strategy. Even more importantly, Cherylanne worked with me to shift my mindset around infertility, and I got pregnant!

In just nine months, I had secured enough clients to quit my full-time job and self-fund a paid maternity leave. Within two years of quitting my job, I had nearly quadrupled my old salary. The growth of my business was supported and fueled in large part by my participation in Boardroom with Cherylanne and other high achieving entrepreneurs.

Through it all, Cherylanne helped me maintain a strong balance between work and family, so I can spend significant quality time with my daughter every single day while maintaining my business growth.

Adriane N.

Multi-Business Entrepreneur

I needed to make myself a priority. Learning how to be brilliantly balanced allowed me to improved connections with my kids, my spouse, and my friends.

Michelle G.

Coaching Business/Ministry

Since joining the program, I have gotten a raise, my ministry is blowing right open, and my fear has subsided. I get goosebumps thinking about where my life is now.

Lauren S.

Lawyer

I would absolutely say my life is much better since going through the Breakthrough program. I am finally going for it!

Michelle K.

Fashion Stylist

I had just relocated, and so I needed to rebuild my tenured business in an entirely new area. I'm so grateful to have found Cherylanne when I did because she helped me start the process.

Alma R.

Anything that is worth having is worth investing in. I'm so grateful for the program. I am blessed to have been surrounded by these women.

Emily A.

Virtual COO, Emily Allen

Something was not right... I was not doing what I loved and was finding it hard to live healthy and manage family and work, and I was tired of trying to figure out how to fix it on my own. I knew I owed it to my family and myself to do this.

Becky P.
