In this powerful episode of Simply Satisfied, host Greg sits down with Genevieve Skory, a resilience coach, entrepreneur, and former C-suite executive who transformed her life—and now helps others do the same. After years of grinding in high-pressure leadership roles, Genevieve recognized that chasing success without alignment was a fast track to burnout. What followed was a complete redefinition of how she approaches business, fulfillment, and life.

Genevieve shares how she shifted from a constant hustle mentality to a more intentional, strategic mindset—what she calls moving from “hustler to yacht racer.” She opens up about the emotional and mental toll of her corporate journey, and how she used those lessons to build a coaching practice rooted in resilience, nervous system regulation, and authentic leadership.

This episode dives deep into the real challenges of transitioning from corporate to entrepreneurship, including the identity shift, building momentum, marketing yourself without burning out, and staying motivated when results take time. Genevieve and Greg explore the power of knowing your ‘why,’ defining your niche, and leveraging tools like ChatGPT and AI for business growth—all while staying true to your values and protecting your mental health.

Whether you’re building a coaching business, leading a team, or trying to regain control of your time and energy, this episode will leave you with practical tools and mindset shifts to thrive under pressure and create success on your own terms.
