E105: The Iceberg Effect - Interview with Sue Bowles

Today on the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Mighty Pete talks to Sue Bowles for a second time. Sue is a well-known coach and author from Ohio. She has had an incredible life journey and the past six years have been truly transformative for her. They speak again about her support to those in need of inspiration and her remarkable wisdom around healing. 

Sue is unafraid and very committed to amplifying the voices of many women, especially sexual abuse survivors. Know more about her ultimate passion when you tune in today.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Victim vs Survivor. Be careful of how you label or identify yourself. Always know that you are in control of how your life should steer.

“I use the word survivor over the victim because if I call myself a victim, I continue to let it control me and identify and define me. When I use the word ‘survivor’, a very empowering word, it means I control ‘it’.”–Sue Bowles

Sue is lucky since once she found her voice, she was able to use it to help others. It was a long journey. For six years, she went from being very anxious and lost to being a self-aware and optimistic individual. This experience motivated her to share her own story, so other people feel encouraged to move forward.
It’s very difficult to navigate life when you’re still haunted by your traumatic past. Sue experienced emotional abuse with her ex-partner. Her healing process was quite a tough journey that lasted for quite a long time. Freeing herself from the toxic attachment was just half the struggle. Redeeming yourself and finally making plans to attain what is meant for you can happen even after such burdens.
Sue values her relationship with God above all else. She believes that God did not and will not let anything bad happen to her. Everything is just part of life. For Sue, it’s clinging to her faith that made her vanish any doubts and strengthen her self-belief and self-worth.

BEST MOMENTS

"No one is too far gone, there's always help"

"You are worth it and you will get through to the other side"

"When we believe we are worth it we will go through whatever it takes"
