Modern life promises more connection, more opportunity, and more freedom than ever before. Yet for many people, it feels louder, faster, and more draining than it should. In this conversation, Giuliano sits down with resilience coach Genevieve to unpack why so many thoughtful, motivated people feel overstimulated, disconnected, and quietly exhausted… even while doing all the “right” things.
They explore how technology, social media, and hustle culture shape the way we think, work, and relate to ourselves and others. From the mental toll of constant input to the subtle pressure to always be optimizing, this episode looks at how overstimulation erodes presence and why that loss of presence affects everything from relationships to career satisfaction.
Genevieve shares her perspective as a resilience coach who works with entrepreneurs navigating emotional highs and lows. She explains why long-term success is rarely about effort alone, and how understanding the mental and emotional game behind work can change how people experience ambition, failure, and growth. Together, they talk about resilience not as grit or pushing harder, but as awareness, regulation, and alignment in a world that constantly pulls attention outward.
The conversation also touches on food, rituals, nervous system regulation, and the importance of small, grounding practices that help people feel human again. Rather than offering formulas or hype, this episode invites a slower, more intentional way of engaging with modern life… one that prioritizes connection over noise and sustainability over burnout.
If you’ve ever felt like the world is moving faster than your nervous system can keep up with, this episode offers language, perspective, and reassurance that nothing is wrong with you. You’re responding to an environment that wasn’t designed with your humanity in mind.
