💛 About Susan

I’m so glad you landed on this page, because I want you to know something important: you can rise, even after everything falls apart.

I’ve weathered some of life’s fiercest storms—breast cancer (twice), chemo, radiation, double mastectomy, loss of my hair and my sense of identity, divorce, betrayal, deep grief and overwhelm in raising a child struggling with addiction and suicidal ideation, and the heartbreaking loss of my sister and my mom.

There were moments I didn’t think I’d make it… and moments I was afraid I would.

But here I am—still standing, still healing, and more passionate than ever about helping other women restore their soul, rediscover joy, freedom, and find meaning, even in the aftermath of pain.

I’m a Certified Grief Counselor, Transformation Coach, Enneagram Facilitator, Forgiving Forward Coach, Art Therapy Practitioner, and Stress Management Specialist—but more than any title, I’m someone who gets it.

I’ve been through the fire. And now, I walk alongside women who are ready to rise from the ashes—with purpose, peace, and renewed passion.

If you’re seeking real talk, faith-based wisdom, deep healing, and a safe space for your messy middle, you’re in the right place. This is your space to breathe again—to reclaim peace, become lighter, and bloom into a life that’s vibrant, joyful, and deeply fulfilling.

Let’s walk this journey together. You don’t have to do it alone. 💛
