ENDURES with Suzanne Rath

Even high-status women say, “I don’t have a space where I’m not needed.”In Australia’s most successful Olympic year ever, gold medallists Mollie O’Callaghan and Kaylee McKeown achieved career-defining wins, yet quietly struggled once the chase ended. This episode explores why women across sport, leadership, and family life can feel disconnected after success, and what the post-Olympic blues reveal...

After nine years in business, I’ve learned that success isn’t about hustle- it’s about clarity, standards, and energy. In this episode, I share nine hard-won lessons on vision, leadership, boundaries, and why drive alone isn’t enough. We talk guilt, culture, momentum, and the real cost of building something sustainable. If you’re a business owner who wants impact and a life, this one’s for you. Ch...

Stats talk to cognition. Stories talk to the nervous system. In today’s episode, I reflect on a powerful insight from a recent mastermind and why story is essential for vision, leadership, and sustainable high performance. When leaders rely on dashboards, benchmarks, and logic alone, we miss the deeper connection that actually drives commitment and change. If you want your vision to stick - with y...

Many leaders are givers- and many are exhausted. In this episode, I touch on Adam Grant’s Give and Take and the critical nuance most people miss: givers only win long-term when they have strong boundaries.. I also share a practical boundary-setting tool you can download free from the homepage of my website to help you reset what you protect and what you carry. https://www.suzannerath.com.au Get fu...

Why do 80 to 90 percent of business owners never experience the freedom they set out to create? In this episode, I break down the red zones where constant stress, decision fatigue, and busy work quietly erode focus. We explore why fewer than one in five leaders achieve even one full hour of deep focus each day. And what it really takes to cross the red-green line into momentum, clarity, and actual...

After vision comes navigation. In today’s episode, I share how I’m preparing for my Sydney–Newcastle run, why blocking time in the diary is what makes things real, and how ENDURES moves from clarity into action. Progress doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from seeing where your time is actually going. Your first best step: start tracking it. Download the free time-tracking template on my we...

What if the reason your vision doesn’t stick is because you’re only thinking it, not feeling it? In this episode of Endures, I take you 25 metres underwater in Thailand to explore how peak moments shape a well-lived life. We unpack why engaging all of the senses turns vision into something the brain treats as real, and how that shift changes what we prioritise, protect, and plan for. This is an ep...

In November, I attended the B1G1 conference in Bali and experienced the power of purpose in action. This episode explores why motivation fades without structure, and how tiny, consistent actions can compound meaning in business and leadership. We unpack why leaders can’t motivate others, but can build frameworks that help people motivate themselves. https://www.b1g1.com/nowyoucan https://linktr.ee...

If you’re a business owner who feels constantly frustrated by having to solve everything, this episode is for you. Inspired by a lunchtime conversation with a brilliant female business owner about decision fatigue, responsibility creep, and leadership exhaustion. We touch on the difference between leadership and emotional over-ownership. And you can’t manufacture motivation — and why that’s not a...

I’ve just come back from my evening run, and it reminded me why running matters to me. For years after my accident, running became about performance and what I could no longer do. But when I tied it back to my values, everything changed. Trail running gave me space to think, process, and reset. This episode is about chasing what matters and letting joy lead again- whatever the hobbies you choose!...

Every one of us runs patterns, often formed early, reinforced through responsibility and survival. Supportive leadership can quietly turn into self-sacrifice and endurance without recovery. Some patterns look like perfectionism, achievement, and productivity without fulfilment. In this episode, I share how ENDURES helped me loosen these loops so leadership no longer requires burnout. Free resource...

Leadership doesn’t need more effort - it needs more alignment. In today’s episode of ENDURES , I share a simple but powerful reminder:the story you tell yourself about your leadership becomes the leadership you live. If you’re feeling flat, scattered, or depleted as 2026 begins, this isn’t about adding new goals, habits, or pressure. It’s about strategically deleting what no longer serves you — an...

There’s a moment before you jump- when every instinct says don’t . I experienced this today, lying the top of a giant swing. Harness on. Heart racing. But I jumped. Because courage is action, not comfort. This is leadership. When you own a business or lead at the top, your decisions come with consequences. Payroll. Reputation. Clients. Culture. Livelihoods. You don’t get to opt out when it’s uncom...

This episode is about intentional stretch. I explore the Japanese concept of misogi - choosing one bold, slightly uncomfortable commitment that demands growth. We talk about: Why big goals fail when they’re not anchored in the calendar The differences between wishing for change and designing for it How I’m pre-planning the non-negotiables that actually matter Why clarity comes after commitment, no...

In this episode of Endures , I unpack why capable, successful business owners and leaders feel like frauds, even when the evidence says otherwise. I also guide you through a simple but powerful re-identification exercise to help you reconnect with who you actually are are a person- not a role. Whether you're struggling into 2026 or ready to roll, this episode's for you. Founders/ Leaders: Want to...

The first full week of the year feels… strange. You’re back at work, but the rhythm hasn’t quite returned. You’re meant to be “motivated,” but your brain still doesn’t know what day it is. You had good intentions to reflect, reset, and plan - but maybe life just kept moving. You’re not behind. Just before Christmas, I ran a free webinar called Beyond 2026: Nine Steps to Your Best Year Yet . And wh...

In this episode, I talk about the idea of microshifting, why values fill voids and how autonomy must be anchored in clarity, accountability, and outcomes. https://www.suzannerath.com.au https://linktr.ee/suzannerath Get full access to Suzanne Rath at suzannerathcoach.substack.com/subscribe

Most people don’t realise they’re choosing their future every day. In this episode, I share the Summit Futures Model — a simple way to understand the two futures we’re constantly moving toward: Reactive or Limitless . We explore how drift quietly pulls us into exhaustion, why burnout rarely arrives overnight, and how one clear decision can change the trajectory of your energy, leadership, and life...
