Description

Doing meaningful work shouldn't cost you everything else.

Welcome to The Modern High Performer — the podcast for ambitious professionals who want to do meaningful work and have energy left for the people and priorities that matter most.

I'm Molly Asplin, founder and CEO of The Modern High Performance Group. With my experience in corporate finance and years coaching high-achieving men and women, I've seen how easy it is to get stuck in autopilot — chasing success but feeling misaligned, burnt out, or depleted for the people who matter most.

I see a workplace culture that's become noisy, reactive, and draining — full of people who aren't burnt out enough to stop, but not energized enough to thrive. It's the quiet crisis of modern work. And it's time for a better way. We deserve environments where focus is protected, people are valued, and leaders care about the humans behind the output. That's the shift I'm here to help create. This show is about changing that.
Every week, we'll talk about what it really means to thrive in today's work environment. I'll share practical strategies, honest stories, and fresh leadership insights to help you grow your career without sacrificing your life outside of it.

Whether you're navigating a big pivot, leading a team, or simply trying to manage the mental load of work and home, you'll find encouragement, clarity, and new ways to think about high performance in a sustainable way.

Let's lead differently. Let's work better. Let's live more fully.

Before you set a single new goal, I want to invite you to pause. In this episode of The Modern High Performer, I'm guiding you through a thoughtful end‑of‑year reflection process designed to help you make sense of the last 12 months honestly, without judgment, and without the pressure to "spin" everything into growth. Thank you to Clay & Vine for Sponsoring this Episode  Inquire Here for In-Person or Virtual Support https://clayandvineinteriors.com/contact   I share five reflection prompts I use personally and with coaching clients to surface what actually mattered this year, what quietly drained you, and what's ready to change. I also open up about my own moments of tension, growth, and recalibration especially around work, family, expectations, and connection. This isn't about squeezing meaning out of every hard moment. It's about clarity. It's about giving yourself permission to evolve before you decide what's next. I would encourage you to grab a pen and paper to journal on these questions: What looked good on paper but didn't feel good in real life? What has been the hardest part of the year for me? And what did you learn from it? Where do you need to stop comparing and performing? Who did I let see the real version of me this year? Where have I been strong, but not alone? What permission do I need to give myself before I set goals for the next year? If you're feeling the pull to do things differently in the year ahead, this conversation will help you slow down, take stock, and move forward with intention.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ellie Steinbrinkl, she's a former corporate strategist turned personal stylist for high-performing women. After two decades in branding and marketing, Ellie found herself at a turning point: burned out, craving creativity, and needing alignment between how she felt and how she showed up. Thank you to Nourish Move Love for sponsoring this episode! Join Us Here for Athlete 25 on January 5th! We talk about what it really takes to evolve, personally and professionally, and how the way we dress is often a mirror of what's going on inside. If you've ever opened your closet and thought, "This just isn't me anymore," this conversation is for you. Here's what we cover: ✔ Ellie's transition from corporate marketing to entrepreneurship ✔ How burnout was her wake-up call (and what she did with it) ✔ Why personal style is way more than what you wear ✔ Reconnecting with your authentic self through style ✔ How to dress in alignment with your values, goals, and season of life ✔ Navigating trends, WFH wardrobes, and fashion noise ✔ Why personal brand and image matter — especially in leadership roles Ellie's perspective is fresh, thoughtful, and full of permission to evolve — in your career, your wardrobe, and your life.

In this episode of The Modern High Performer Podcast, we're getting honest about the invisible drains that creep in and sabotage your energy (from late-night work habits to alcohol to inconsistent sleep) and how to take your power back through simple, sustainable health routines.

Inside, I cover: The hidden tension behind burnout, even when you're "high performing" Why some leaders feel directionless, stuck, or numb in their roles The 4 types of career arcs (linear, steady state, transitory, spiral) The difference between external wins and internal rewards Signs of workaholism and self-objectification we often ignore What coaching really does to help you clarify and reset If you've felt disconnected from your work or unsure what your next level actually looks like, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I'm announcing something big — the final round of the Corporate Cohort for 2025 is officially open! If you've been curious about what it's like to be in the room with other high-achieving women who are ready to lead with more clarity, alignment, and energy… you're going to love this behind-the-scenes conversation. I'm joined by two powerful women from a recent cohort — Megan and Andrea, both working moms navigating demanding corporate careers. We get into the real, honest shifts they made: Megan shares how she went from stuck and on autopilot to feeling energized and in control, and the specific boundaries that helped her become more present with her family. Andrea talks about how she stopped letting her work calendar control her life and started protecting time for what matters most at home. We also chat about phone habits, morning routines, proactive planning, and how having community and coaching was the catalyst for real change — not just in their careers, but in their confidence, mindset, and motherhood.

In this solo conversation, I'm unpacking a mindset I've seen in so many high-achieving women (myself included): the belief that more success equals more sacrifice. And how that belief quietly holds us back from the very growth we crave — both at work and at home. You'll hear a real client story that shows how small shifts in strategy, delegation, and leadership can unlock massive transformation. We're talking about ditching the daily grind mindset, redefining what "balance" actually means, and owning your role as both a high-performer and a present parent. ✨ Here's what we'll cover: The fear that career growth will steal time from your family — and how to dismantle it A client story that shows what's possible when you stop trying to do it all What no one tells you about boundaries, delegation, and stepping into leadership How to challenge outdated beliefs about success and sacrifice What it looks like to design your next season of work with clarity, confidence, and control If you're ready to move forward without losing yourself in the process, let's get into it.   Here are the some great resources I wanted to share with you: 2 Week Career Clarity Reset Book A Clarity Call  molly@mollyasplin.com Are you looking to improve performance and team effectiveness across your team?  Book A Team Effectiveness Consult Here   Thank you for listening to this episode!

In this episode of the Dream It, Do It Podcast, I'm joined by Janelle Walter, former High Performance client, a senior marketing director, corporate leader, and mom of three, who opens up about what it really looks like to shift from scattered and stretched thin… to grounded and fulfilled. Janelle shares so vulnerably about the turning point that led her to reach out for coaching—when she realized her day-to-day pace wasn't sustainable and she was constantly running on fumes. We talk about the small, intentional shifts that helped her reclaim her energy, get back in the driver's seat of her calendar, and start showing up more fully in both her career and her family life. From setting better boundaries at work, to building in space for strategic thinking (instead of constantly reacting), to redefining what "success" looks like as a mom and a leader—Janelle shares so many gems that will resonate if you've ever felt pulled in a million directions. We also talk about: Letting go of perfectionism and softening into your season How community and coaching helped her get unstuck What it looks like to lead from a place of peace, not pressure The very real case for the 4-day work week 😉 Why investing in yourself isn't selfish—it's the spark that changes everything   👉 I'd love to invite you into the Corporate Leader Clarity Experience—my high-touch intimate, small group opportunity for women in leadership who are ready to lead with clarity, confidence, and calm again. 💬 Book a free clarity call to learn more    Here are the some great resources I wanted to share with you: Corporate Leader Clarity Experience Apply Here Join Dream It, Do It Wellness molly@mollyasplin.com Connect with Janelle on LinkedIn   Thank you for listening to this episode!

In this episode of the Dream It, Do It, I sit down with Meghan Scheff—an incredible corporate leader with over 14 years of experience and a growing family (with baby #3 on the way!). We talk about what it really looks like to balance an ambitious career path with motherhood—and how to define success on your own terms when you're navigating both.
