Creating space for women to feel encouraged, equipped, and ready to say, ‘I can do this.’
Hi, I’m Susan. I’m a speaker, author, and jewelry maker who is a fierce advocate for courageous resilience and intentional living. I help others find the strength to navigate life’s hard or messy spaces and take tangible steps toward the life they’re meant to live. Whether I’m sharing my story from the stage, in print, or across a table, my goal is always the same: to spark resilience, offer hope, and leave people saying, “I can do this.”
For women who know they’re meant for more
This is for the women who feel overwhelmed or worn out. It’s for the ones who feel stuck or that there’s more to life. This is a space for you to pause, find encouragement, and remember you’re not alone. This is a space to reconnect with your inner strength, discover hope, and take simple, intentional steps forward.
“What would happen if I found the courage to take the next step?”
I’ll help you discover your strength, find hope, and take your next courageous step.

Meet your speaker
Hi, I’m Susan
I know I’m not the only one who has realized that life doesn’t usually look as polished as Instagram reels or TikTok posts. And, that’s okay! We all face struggles, and messiness is just part of being human, it doesn’t define us, and we’re never alone. I’ve had my share of challenges, from fleeing for my life to two open-heart surgeries, and plenty of everyday chaos in between.
Some days we don’t have it all together, and that’s okay. I do my best, embrace life fully, and love finding inspiration in small, ordinary moments that I love to share with others. I’ve learned that God is bigger than anything we face, and we’re never alone. We’re all in this thing called life together. My hope is to bring relatability, connection, and encouragement to women who struggle with life’s messiness while thinking everyone else has it all together.
What I bring to every audience:
Authenticity that connects
Real, approachable, relatable.
Encouragement that empowers
Affirming strength and resilience.
Hope that inspires action
Sparking optimism and possibility.
Confidence to move forward
Providing clarity and courage for intentional next steps.
Keynotes and Breakout Sessions That Connect
Speaking Topics
I create relatable talks that remind women they’re not alone in life’s challenges. Through real stories and honest encouragement, I inspire connection, hope, and the courage to take meaningful next steps. Here are a few themes I’m most often asked to speak about:

One of Those Days
Life doesn’t always go as planned, and those hard days can leave us feeling stuck. I share honest stories and practical strategies to help you find resilience, shift your perspective, and keep moving forward with hope.

Courage in the Chaos
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to put your dreams on hold. I inspire audiences to carve out space for what matters most and take small, courageous steps toward living with greater intention and purpose.

The Power of Words
The words we carry—our own or others’—can either limit us or launch us. I help audiences recognize negative self-talk, rewrite the story they believe, and embrace truth that encourages growth and confidence.
