Balancing Business Success with Health Limitations: Simone Giangiordano's Journey

Truth Tastes Funny with Hersh Rephun

Simone Giangiordano, creator of BalanceUP® Community, is a business and lifestyle coach with nearly two decades experience as a business analyst and consultant and 15 years of entrepreneurial experience.

Today, Simone brings hope to those with invisible health challenges impacting the quality of their life and their business success, helping her clients transform their lives, businesses and well-being.

She gives voice to the idea that societal and cultural norms are far more limiting that any limitation we have, and that by sharing compassion, we can overcome many of the misconceptions and much of the stigma around chronic health challenges.

Her transition from her corporate career to entrepreneurship was the direct result of her health challenges. As she figured out how to manage a business alongside several illnesses and injuries, she shut down her first business three times in the first five years of her entrepreneurial career. It was during these years that saying “I CAN” nearly broke her. Thankfully, the last shutdown was back in 2012!

Simone also co-wrote a song “Courage to Be You” with Christina Wells of America’s Got Talent to inspire others to be true to themselves and to live a life of courage, impact and love.
