283: Living a Life of Greatness with Sarah Grynberg

Episode 283: Show Notes

Most people chase success, thinking it will bring happiness. But what if the job that looks perfect on the outside is actually draining you from the inside?

That’s exactly what happened to Sarah Grynberg. She had a dream job in radio—working with some of Australia’s biggest celebrities, attending glamorous events, and earning more than she ever had. But behind the scenes, she was burnt out, sleep-deprived, and deeply unhappy. Then, a breaking point led her to completely rethink her path.

  • In this episode, Sarah shares:
    The moment she realized success wasn’t the same as happiness.

  • How a career setback turned into her greatest opportunity.

  • Why letting go of what isn’t serving you can open the door to your true calling.

  • The role of intuition, meditation, and self-awareness in finding fulfillment.

  • How she built one of the biggest podcasts in Australia by trusting her inner voice.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that looks good on paper but feels wrong in your heart, this episode will remind you that change is possible—and that sometimes, a breakdown is really a breakthrough in disguise.
