Recovering People Pleaser: How Boundaries Let You Manage Your Energy with Genevieve Retzlaff
Are you trying to please everyone? Whether you're in the corporate world, an entrepreneur or simply have relationships with other people; managing your energy and your time can be a tricky dance. Does balance in life ever truly exist and how do we actually set (and hold) those boundaries we know we need to set? In this episode, we sit down with executive coach and organisational development consultant Genevieve Retzlaff, founder of Grow Better Together, to talk about what it really takes to build an intentional life inside a system that was never designed with you in mind. We get into why so many high performers are burning out not from laziness but from saying yes to everything, how the fear of losing your job keeps people stuck in overwork, and why managing your energy really is the shift that changes everything. Gen shares how she thinks of herself as a recovering people pleaser. Now that she has discovered what it actually takes to hold a boundary when the people around you push back; we talk about why trust and faith are at the foundation of all of it. Genevieve Retzlaff is the Founder and CEO of Grow Better Together, an Organizational Development consultancy, and a PCC-certified Executive and Team Coach with 15+ years in HR Business Partnering and over 1,000 hours coaching senior leaders. Her mission is simple: help growing small and mid-size companies build healthier workplaces that are actually set up to hit their strategic goals rather than just survive the growth phase. Off the clock, she practices what she preaches, running her own life on the same intentionality and boundaries she coaches her clients toward.
