Hey there, I’m Susan Young.
At 48, I could no longer ignore my anxiety, stifle memories of early adulthood trauma, or manage alcohol misuse. I knew these issues were interconnected, and I didn’t feel well in any sense of the word. With 50 just around the corner, I decided to act. I stopped drinking and went to therapy for the first time in my life.
As a woman with a lifelong history of self-dismissal, I had a lot of work to do. I could not have fathomed the seismic shifts that were set in motion by those decisions.
That journey led to a deep understanding of myself and the experiences that had shaped my world. It ultimately took me through the dissolution of a long-term marriage, the rebirth of a soul-filling creative practice, a completely new career, and an ADHD diagnosis. Stir in becoming an empty nester and a global pandemic, and you have a life deconstructed and rebuilt with love and intention in my 50s.
Amidst this turmoil, loss, and uncertainty, I found inner peace and freedom I didn’t know existed. I can say with confidence that I’ve never felt more aligned, confident, alive, or energized about what comes next.
I’m honored to help women overcome people-pleasing patterns and honor themselves, enabling them to live vibrant, authentic lives with ease.

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.
Linda Overberg
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!
Sharon Spenn
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.
