Return on Energy: Rethinking Success, Ambition & Motherhood Carrie Fabris (Bonus Episode)

In this episode, Diane sits down with executive coach, author, and founder of Career Frame, Carrie Fabris, to talk about redefining success, ambition, and motherhood. After more than 20 years in corporate leadership, Carrie shares two pivotal turning points - one in 2014 that led her toward coaching, and another in 2019 when she realized her career no longer felt aligned. She left corporate just before the pandemic and rebuilt her work in a way that better reflected her values. We talk about her concept of “return on energy,” and why how we spend our energy matters more than how we spend our time. What You’ll Learn... Why success needs to be redefined (especially in motherhood) The concept of “return on energy” and how to apply it What it really means to be “all in” How to identify and name your inner critical voice Why fear can be a helpful signal - not something to avoid How to build a career that aligns with your values Practical ways to set boundaries without sacrificing growth Why stillness and self-trust are essential for clarity Links Discussed in This Episode | Checkout the podcast storefront for recommendations from Diane.
