About this Event

Connect & Reflect
A networking event focused on sustainable success


Connect & Reflect is a networking and panel event for ambitious individuals who want to build meaningful careers without burning out.

Hosted by Lucy Aston from Break The Burn, this afternoon brings together professionals, creatives and founders for honest conversation around ambition, boundaries and sustainable success. In a culture that rewards constant output, Connect & Reflect offers a more intentional way forward.


What you’ll experience
  • A live panel with leaders across creative, corporate and people-focused industries
  • Real insights on ambition, reinvention and navigating different seasons of work and life
  • Thoughtful, low-pressure networking (no forced small talk)
  • Space to pause, reflect and reset how you want to work this year

Our panel
  • Dena Amy Kaplan - creative, entrepreneur, mother and psychotherapy student, sharing insights on reinvention, multi-hyphen careers and building boundaries that support multiple income streams
  • Sue Glasser - life and success coach, offering practical tools for working smarter and creating sustainable momentum
  • Montanna Deouden - people and culture specialist and Director of Ouden HR Consulting, bringing a global perspective on leadership, performance and workplace wellbeing

The conversation will be guided by Lucy Aston, founder of Break The Burn, who created the platform after experiencing burnout firsthand and rethinking how ambition and wellbeing can coexist.

Come as you are.
Leave with clarity, connection and renewed direction.
