Purpose, Passion and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace the Human Connection, and Lead with Meaning
This is the story of Genevieve Piturro’s leap off the corporate ladder to find her true calling. What started with a simple question from a little girl in a homeless shelter led her to create the nonprofit Pajama Program in 2001. Since then, Pajama Program has distributed more than eight million pairs of pajamas, launched 40 chapters across the United States, and built reading centers for children.
Genevieve’s journey has been featured on Oprah and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Her book brings practical lessons for life, leadership, and personal growth, plus inspiration to “find YOUR pajamas.”

OnlineOpen Discussion - About How Do You Lead When You Feel Empty?
Hosted by Laura Jane LaytonThis open discussion is a relaxed and supportive space for women in leadership roles to connect, reflect, and be real, without pressure or prep.
Our focus this month is leading while tired. Please come prepared to talk about and explore what it looks like to keep going when your energy feels low. Together we will share stories, challenges, and the practices that help us lead when our tanks are running close to empty.
The circle is guided by who shows up and what is on your heart. If other questions or themes arise, we will welcome them too. Each person’s perspective is valued, and we will stay with a question until the asker feels complete with the input shared by the group.
You do not need to have it all together to be here. Bring yourself, your voice, and your curiosity.
Bring your questions, your wisdom, your weariness, or just your presence. Whether you're navigating a career shift, silencing your inner bully, or simply craving a judgment-free conversation with like-minded women, this time is for you.
Why Attend:
- Feel seen, heard, and supported
- Share insights or challenges in a safe space
- Connect with others who understand the unique pressure of leadership
- Leave lighter, clearer, or just reminded that you’re not alone
Who It’s For:
Leaders, especially those juggling the appearance of “having it all together,” are quietly carrying a heavy load. If you're tired of pretending and ready to speak freely, you’re in the right place.Recording Notice:

About the Book
Born SuperHuman: Wellness Whispers
We are all born superhuman, and numbed, or dumbed down over time. Our body is miraculous and made to heal, thrive and live to 120 - fully active. The miracle within needs the right resources to unleash - and it is all around us - we just need to get back to natural. The magic we seek is in the work we avoid. Take action and the whole world opens up again, for us and our loved ones.
