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.
