When she was just 20 years old, Susan attempted suicide twice by consuming six bottles of sleeping pills. In our conversation with Susan on the show, we embark on a deeply personal exploration of the reasons behind these desperate moments. Today, Susan is the author of 'Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity,' a book that offers invaluable insights into confronting unhealed pain and provides guidance for those on their own healing journeys.




Susan's spiritual practice heavily involves "A Course in Miracles." We then delved into this fascinating topic as we uncover what this course is and how its teachings had a profound impact on Susan's life. This episode is an inspiring testament to the human spirit's ability to find joy after despair. Tune in to rediscover your own innate qualities of peace, love, joy, and happiness, even in life's darkest moments.
