In this episode, I chat with Ginny Krauss (https://supportedceo.com/) about juggling life, business, and Bavarian mountain views, all while resisting hustle culture and carving out true downtime (spoiler: “out of office” actually means something in Germany). If you’ve ever felt torn between making clients happy and claiming your own sanity, you’re definitely in the right place.
Ginny gets honest about finding balance as an American entrepreneur living in Munich, navigating time zones, and restructuring her entire work life so evenings are for family—not endless Zoom calls.
We talk through setting boundaries with U.S.-based clients, learning from European work-life philosophies, and how to build a business that fits your real life—not some mythical influencer’s. If you’re all about life on your own terms—with time for snacks, naps, and (actual) vacation—this one's for you.
