After years of coordinating music lessons with soccer practice, writing code for summer camp carpool schedules, stopping by a colleague’s retirement party, materializing dinner from thin air, and at midnight, adding graphics for your morning powerpoint presentation, you’re forced to come to terms with one simple truth:
You married the college sweetheart, had those 2.5 kids after buying the modest family home near the good schools, built your career that brought home the bacon - and somewhere in those perfectly practical plans you lost your color.
Life used to feel vibrant, raw, full of possibility. Now it feels like you’re watching a well worn sepia reel of the standard life milestones.
In the many hours we all spent desperately searching for connection online while sheltering in place, I stumbled upon a Youtube video on Art Journaling. The concept was brand new to me but it resonated with me instantly.
Equipped with my dusty markers and pencils from all those years ago in design school, and the kids’ left over brushes and pastels, I fell deep down a rabbit hole of wild creative abandon. I absolutely credit this renewed creative practice with getting me through this period. As I spilled out I-don’t-know-what onto the pages, I learned things about myself. A lot. I found myself on a dual mission of “finding myself” and finding a community of other women on similar paths.
I was 48 when I finally accepted that I was anxious, on autopilot, unengaged, and going through the motions. And that if I didn’t take a time out and take stock of my life’s trajectory, I was headed for a sad and depressing future. I was on the verge of quiet-quitting my life.
As a woman with a life-long history of self-abandonment, I had a LOT of work to do. Sobriety tipped the initial domino. Then, my marriage, followed by my home. Lastly, an empty nest.
Experiencing coaching sessions with Susan is both comforting and eye-opening. I’m continually surprised by the insights I gain from her intuitive questions. She creates an atmosphere of trust and emotional security that allows me to explore deeply.
In our work together, I’ve been able to connect deeply with my intuition regarding how to grow my business in a way that feels authentic.
I’m so grateful for my time with Susan, she provides an open, inviting space asking direct and insightful questions. Her curiosity helps me to reach my goal each session. Susan has a gentle, comforting energy, a wise presence capable of evoking awareness and offering support.
Susan's story is quite inspiring & it's only natural that she'd make an incredible life coach because of it & her extensive background! She is a great role model for women who want to up-level their life, career, relationships or life purpose. Book a call with her, you won't regret it!
I was able to resolve a deep conflict around the continuation of my business in one session with one powerful question. Susan asks insightful, strong, yet simple questions that come from deep listening. They are “like magic”. During my sessions, I’m able to consistently resolve misunderstandings or questions around difficult subjects. I highly recommend Susan as a Coach and wish to be coached by her continually!
Susan is very personable which provided a sense of comfort to me, enabling me to be honest with myself (and her). There was an “ah ha” moment that energized us both and not only did I enjoy sharing that moment with her, it helped me recognize the value of letting myself be free to explore and verbalize my goals and preferences.
I truly enjoyed my coaching experience with Susan. She asked great questions, which led to some big but simple reminders about where I find inspiration. I can honestly say that I’m excited about what’s to come in my 50s and beyond. Here as my creative, inquisitive self. Someone who is so much more than any one job. Ready to enjoy whatever comes my way!
While working with Susan, I had an epiphany regarding the structure of my own practice that has led to expanded possibilities and a new niche market. In addition to being a great listener, Susan has a gentle yet effective way of asking questions that caused me to "think deep". That introspection was the contributing factor to both greater insights and meaningful results.
You are the expert of your own experiences and your best advocate. You decide the path we embark upon, where you might want to detour, and how you know you’re finally re-meeting your authentic self.
Express yourself with abundance. Go wild. There’s no self-editing in this space: you be you. I’ll be me. Together we’ll make sure it’s a good fit.
Integrity is at the core of all coaching relationships. It’s a relationship of trust, built on honest and clear communications: all emotions are welcome.
Exploration is an act of courage, and a necessity for self-discovery. I’m here to act as your compassionate Google Maps as you set out on the journey of rediscovering your vibrance.
