From Corporate Ladder to Heart-Centered Leadership: Embracing Love Over Control | Genevieve Pitturo, Founder and Principal of Beyond Bedtime

We sit down with Genevieve Pitturo, founder of Pajama Program, now Beyond Bedtime, to explore how self-trust, compassion, and purposeful leadership can transform lives. Genevieve shares the powerful moment that pulled her away from a fast-moving corporate career and into a mission centered on children’s well-being, emotional care, and bedtime security. Richard and Genevieve talk about the surprising question from a six-year-old that helped shape her life’s work, the early uncertainty of leaving a successful career, and how she built trust with donors, volunteers, partners, and the children her organization serves. Genevieve also shares practical insights on leading with love, rebuilding trust in teams, and creating cultures rooted in connection rather than control. If you’re interested in leadership, nonprofit growth, trust-building, purpose-driven work, or personal transformation, this conversation offers heartfelt lessons and real-world wisdom you can apply right away. Listen in to hear how one act of care became a movement, why leading with love matters more than ever, and how trust begins with listening to the heart voice.
