Genevieve on health coaching and following her gut
Episode description
This week I speak with my long time friend Genevieve about her path to working as an Associate Coach Program Manager at a healthcare startup. During her senior year (and even for a bit after she graduated), she wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Then she took a certification course to become a health coach. She joined a start up and has been growing with the company ever since. Genevieve will walk us through how she followed her gut, but also slowed down before jumping in.
This episode is best for: gaining perspective; reflecting on your values; trusting your gut
