"There's something really powerful about creating a space where people can show up as they are, meet others, and feel a little less alone."

YOUR STORY
My name is…
Sylvia Suwan. You might know me from my headband and high ponytail!
By day (or night), I…
Am a mother of a teen, a tween and a toddler, a wife, a counsellor and a podcast host.
How I first stumbled into hosting at the Little BIG House…
Visiting the Flour Mill Markets!
COMMUNITY & PLACE
A moment in Summer Hill that has stuck with me…
The true feeling of community.
If I had to describe Summer Hill to someone who'd never been…
I'd say it's one of the best suburbs in Sydney in many ways. It has an incredible location, a real community feel, and lots of things to do for everyone.
Something I wish more people in the neighbourhood knew about the Little BIG House…
Just how much the people behind it care about bringing people together, building connections and reducing loneliness.
HOSTING
I decided to start hosting sessions at the Little BIG House because…
Through my work as a breakup counsellor, I see just how starved we are for genuine connection. Partnering with the Little BIG House couldn't feel more aligned with our vision of bringing people together and creating meaningful connections.
The event or session I host…
Is called the Breakups, Dating and Relationships Connection Circle. In a nutshell, it's about having meaningful conversations in a low-pressure, safe space.
It's best suited for…
Adults who are looking to build friendships, make meaningful connections, and have open and honest conversations about all things relationships and dating.
If you came along for the first time, you should expect…
Meaningful conversations and a mix of familiar and new faces.
When to find us…
The Connection Circle runs on the last Monday of every month from 7:30–8:30pm.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE ROLE
You'll most likely find me on a weekend…
With my family, at the park, at the beach or with friends.
A book, movie, show, or podcast I keep pushing onto people…
My own podcast, Breakup to Blessing 😜. Seriously though, I always recommend The Diary of a CEO, both the book and the podcast!
I've been a local since…
I grew up in the Inner West from the age of three, moved to the Northern Beaches in 2020 and came back in 2024.
This community is special to me because…
I believe we're all craving more genuine connection, and there's something really powerful about creating a space where people can show up as they are, meet others, and feel a little less alone.
My favourite thing about hosting at the Little BIG House is…
Meeting new people.
My involvement with the Little BIG House so far…
Is relatively new, and I'm looking forward to many more years of involvement in different capacities.
I hope the sessions I host will…
Create lifelong friendships.
The top thing on my bucket list is…
Oh, so many to name! Probably travelling the world.
I'm most grateful for…
My family.
The last Little BIG thing I did for someone else (or received) was…
Making time to really listen when someone needed it.
