I feel grateful to have had the chance to sit down with Suzanne Anderson, psychologist, author, and coach at Mysterial Woman (a term she coined). Please join us as we discuss:

Suzanne’s personal story of loss, grief, and triumph
her insights on death by suicide
the inspiration behind her Mysterial Woman platform
the release of her book You Make Your Path by Walking: A Transformational Field Guide Through Trauma and Loss
and so much more!

Bio:

When her beloved husband took his life, and with it her life as she knew it, Suzanne Anderson faced a choice: would she be broken down and defeated, or broken open and transformed? Part memoir, part guidebook, You Make Your Path by Walking accompanies readers on their own journeys through the barren landscape of trauma and grief, offering comfort, guidance, and inspiration to make meaning out of loss. Whether you are going through a personal dark night or struggling with these uncertain and disruptive global times, this book offers a proven pathway to allow the breaking down to be the breaking open into a whole new way of living, loving, and leading. Drawing from her years of exploration into the development of human potential and the personal, shattering journey of loss, Suzanne guides you to make your own path through the darkest of times—and to become a light in the world that others can look to in their own times of need.
