HerBusiness Podcast: How to Delegate Without Losing Control of Your Business (Even the Work You Think Only You Can Do)

July 17, 2026

Kristy recently had the pleasure of joining Suzi Dafnis on the HerBusiness Podcast to dive deep into Delegating. Suzi is well-known for cutting through the noise of hustle culture, and this conversation was packed with real, actionable strategies for business owners who are ready to build success on their own terms.

Some of the realisations from their chat as put together by Suzi for her podcast:

It feels bizarre… to have done something for years and years (and know EXACTLY how to do it just right)… and then hand it over to someone else.

Yes, delegating is a skill that requires the “practical” lessons – like onboarding right, and training, and checking in consistently.

But for YOU as the business owner, it also means you’re met with a sense of grief.

You’re letting go of a part of your business.

And maybe that makes you feel a little… unneeded.

A little… disposable.

We have to start talking about that feeling. Because it is something every business owner has.

If you’ve been looking for a roadmap to grow your business without burning out, this episode is a must-listen. Episode 370 of the HerBusiness Podcast.
