What if you’re not behind… you’re simply at the exact stage of business growth where tactics stop working and leadership must take over?

In this episode, Genevieve speaks to high performers who feel stuck, pressured, or oddly “pushy” in their business — and who immediately assume it must be them. She reframes that spiral with a simple truth: the discomfort you feel is feedback, not criticism. It’s information. And it’s often a sign you’re being called to evolve into a bigger role.

Using a powerful “flat tire” analogy, Genevieve explains how we would never blame ourselves for a normal obstacle in driving — yet we blame ourselves relentlessly when business hits a predictable growth stage. The problem isn’t that you need a new script, new offer, or a total rebrand. The problem is that you’ve outgrown the version of you that your current tactics were built to protect.

This is a sales identity and leadership conversation: visibility, confidence, alignment, and learning to own your expertise without shrinking. You’ll also hear why following “strugglers” (people who refuse to evolve) keeps you stuck — and how to choose growth instead.

If you’re at a fork in the road — back to “back in the day” or forward into a future you design — this episode will help you exhale, reset, and step into Calm Confidence.

If your business feels heavy, exhausting, or like you’re “performing” again… you don’t need a new plan. You need a reset with meaning.

In this CEO-to-CEO episode, Genevieve shares what she keeps hearing from smart, capable women: self-doubt, self-blame, and a quiet disconnect from the work they used to love. And she explains why no pricing change, new offer, or “better strategy” can save a business when meaning has gone missing—because strategy only amplifies what already exists underneath.

You’ll hear why success isn’t just a higher title or bigger check, but a deeper level of understanding and purpose. Why selling (including weight loss) works best when it’s rooted in impact—not transactions. And why the leaders who last don’t rely on pressure or urgency; they sell through conviction.

At the end, Genevieve gives you a simple 15-minute practice (no phone, no scrolling) and three questions that help restore meaning, rebuild confidence, and create grounded leadership for 2026.

In this episode, Genevieve shows weight loss coaches, gyms, and health pros how to replace vague “lose weight” messaging with clear, specific language that actually converts. She breaks down the four stages of the weight loss journey—starting, already on a program (including GLP-1s), plateau, and maintenance—and explains how to speak to each stage differently so clients feel seen instead of sold to. If your weight loss content is blending into the noise and you want more aligned customers without shame-based tactics, this episode gives you a simple, powerful messaging framework.

In this episode, Genevieve continues her Intention Series by showing how true intention (defined as a decision with direction and commitment) separates roller-coaster results from calm, consistent growth. She walks through a three-step framework—identity, direction, boundaries—to help you decide who you are in business, what you are building, who it is for, and what you refuse to sacrifice for growth. If you’ve been “seeing what happens” in your business and secretly fearing 2026 will look just like 2025, this conversation will help you draw a line in the sand and start operating above the line of intention.

In this episode, Genevieve kicks off her Intention Over Hustle series with a deep dive into the power of clear intention in business. She explains why so many women feel burned out, misaligned, and confused about what to sell or post—not because they are lazy, but because they are hustling without intention. You’ll learn the difference between goals and intention, how specific decisions activate your brain to filter out distractions, and why shifting from side-hustle energy to true CEO intention is essential for building aligned, sustainable, legacy-level income in 2026.

Plan 2026 without burnout. This episode lays out a calm-confidence playbook built for sustainable growth—not frantic hustle. You’ll learn four practical shifts:

(1) choose slower, clearer decisions for cleaner strategies and better boundaries;

(2) put nervous-system safety before strategy using breath resets, five-minute buffers, end-of-day closure rituals, and daily win tracking;

(3) practice emotional minimalism so you can observe and respond without adopting every problem; and

(4) work a calm-productivity cadence: Vision/Planning Monday, Deep Work Tuesday to Thursday, Admin/Prep Friday, with a real lunch break and digital quiet hours.

Calm isn’t passive; it’s power, leadership, and the foundation of repeatable growth.

This follow-up to last week’s planning episode turns 2026 from “hope” to “do.” Genevieve shares three shifts to build a plan you’ll actually follow:

• Struggle vs Growth: Struggle drains time/energy and often reverses revenue; growth is uncomfortable but measurable.

• Ditch Comparison/Scarcity: Your unique Sales DNA is the advantage—align strategies to who you are.

• Identity Pit Stop: Regularly check tread wear (mindset, confidence, fear). Sharpen who you’re being to change what you’re doing.

This episode is your calm-confidence blueprint for 2026. Instead of chasing speed or moving the goalposts, Genevieve shares four practical steps—rooted in an ultramarathoner’s mindset—to plan sustainably and sell with certainty.

You’ll learn:

• Reframe winning: Trade vague or far-off goals for daily, controllable wins (e.g., “3–5 meaningful conversations”).

• Upgrade yourself: Expand capacity (skills, support, steady pace) rather than shrinking your dreams.

• Success by subtraction: Offload outdated strategies, guilt, and ego to make room for what works.

• Re-evaluate your why (quarterly): Avoid adopting other people’s values; reconnect to what truly matters.
