We’ve all experienced it: the pressure of responsibilities, looming deadlines, and tough decisions. It can feel like a precarious tower of Jenga blocks, one wrong move, and everything collapses.

In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast we’re delving deep into a topic that affects us all: those overwhelming moments when it feels like we’re ‘losing it.’

We’ll explore why “sanity breakdowns” occur and how they might actually be stepping stones towards success.

Listen to hear:

  • Understanding the triggers of sanity breakdowns
  • The importance of reconnecting with our vision during overwhelming times
  • Strategies to manage stress and balance work-life commitments
  • Recognising and seeking support when needed
  • Embracing “sanity breakdowns” as opportunities for growth and realignment

“The key to realising a dream is to focus not on success but significance, and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.” — Oprah Winfrey

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
