If you’ve ever forced yourself to shrink to fit in, to “tone it down” to be accepted, and to pursue a path that isn’t aligned with you…

We are turning that narrative around in this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast. Let’s talk about what it really means to run a business that lights you up.

This episode is about identity. Visibility. Bravery. And what it takes to stop dimming your fire and live a life that is not filtered for others’ approval.

It gives you permission to be fully you, owning your own version of being ‘too much’.

Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • What it looks like to be truly lit up in your business (and how to move in that direction)
  • The signs you’re drifting from your true purpose – and how to get back on track
  • How the fear of being “too much” shows up and how to push fear to the side in order to live more authentically
  • Ways to untangle your identity from your business – and why it’s an essential step to take on your journey to feeling more free to be you
  • Why leading from obligation creates an unfulfilled life, and what to do instead
  • The small steps to reclaim that fire within you and build a business that reflects and supports the life you truly want to live

It’s time to lead your business as YOURSELF. Leave the performance, the “professionalism”, and the expectations behind. You’ve already got what you need.

And it’s what makes you and your business magnetic.

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.
