Redefining Success: A Comeback from Burnout and Breakdown
In this honest and powerful episode, husband, father and IT consultant, Gareth Ryan shares his deeply personal journey through nearly three decades in the SAP world — and the hidden mental health battle that nearly broke him. As the pressures of work mounted and post pandemic life deepened feelings of isolation, Gareth reached a breaking point. What followed was a courageous path of self-awareness, therapy, and transformation.
Gareth opens up about the importance of acknowledging mental health struggles, the role of medication in his recovery, and how vulnerability helped him rebuild not only his well-being, but his family relationships. He speaks about redefining success beyond job titles, setting clear boundaries, and creating a safe space for mental health conversations in the workplace.
This episode is a reminder that resilience isn’t about pushing through at all costs—it’s about pausing, asking for help, and choosing to come back stronger, with purpose and compassion.
