Susan’s insights on the specifics of recovery from addiction for women.

Whether you’re just starting, or you’ve been sober for years, it’s hard!
It’s okay to ask for help.

Advice on building a career from the ground up in recovery.

For anybody who has recovered from alcoholism or addiction, you remember the pain and you remember how much humility was involved. I mean, all we could do in early sobriety (and some of you are in early sobriety right now) is just hang on to the day. The moment, that’s it. Can’t even think past a minute, right? Can’t even fathom even what to buy at the grocery store. I mean, that’s how overwhelming it is. Let me help you through that.

If you haven’t asked yourself what you want or what you’d like and desire in your life, do that. And remember, if you’re a sober woman today, you’ve been given a second chance on life. And if you’re having a hard time igniting that motivation, then let me go ahead and give you this little little thing to think about. Imagine the day before you got sober. Just think about it. Remember the misery. Remember how desperate you were to have a second chance. Remember that. And then ask yourself what your peace is worth today, for you were given a second lease on life. Take it, run with it. You can do this.

Susan’s insights on three of the most important choices you can make to get yourself moving, and eat better!

Let me give you three top suggestions, top things I found successful for consistently working out on a regular basis that I have not failed at for over three years. Now. Number one, find out what the exercise or the routine’s going to be for you. The second one is pick the time of the day that you’re going to do it and do it every day until that habit has been formed. The third is to manage your diet.

Reflecting on the realization of how much work is involved in taking your life to the next level. Embrace the challenge, it will get easier!

Do you have a goal? Do you have something that you’ve been thinking about? Or are you in a state of your life in either health, relationship, professionally or emotions where you are essentially at a rock bottom? And the one thing that withhold you from getting to the next step is embracing the suck factor. The fact that you’re going to have to probably work your ass off to get to the next level.

A quick solution to being overwhelmed- Take inventory, make a list!
How to get back in harmony with your day.

Especially in the midst of being an entrepreneur, trying to build an entrepreneur, trying to build a business. There are so many to do lists, so many things to get done. The list is endless, and this doesn’t even count the relationships that are in your life during the time.

These are two mental roadblocks that you may feel are stopping you from pursuing your calling.

So number one thing that might keep somebody from being successful, they say procrastination. It takes a lot of energy and sometimes we’d rather sit down and watch a movie and go play. To do work takes effort.

Second thing is, the average person, we don’t know what the passion is. We don’t even know where to get started. We don’t even know!

What is “The Grind?”
For most of us, “The Grind” is having to choose between multiple priorities on any given day- Long-term, we need to find balance in that system so that ultimately none of our priorities are neglected.

Here’s the grind for me. So I’m married, I have three daughters, I have a full time job and I get to mentor and coach a lot of women. Here’s the grind for me. The grind for me is when your kids want to go somewhere on the weekend and you know you need to be devoted to the business and you have to make an instant decision that the business has to come first on this particular occasion. But then you battle the guilt of not being able to be there for your kid. That’s the grind. The grind is when your husband’s telling you he needs more of you and he needs a little bit of attention and yet you understand that you’re in the midst of building a dream right now and that you have to devote the time to the work.

Most people have a dilemma they have struggled with for years. Learn easy steps to help alleviate the discomfort, and begin to grow in a new direction!

Are you comparing your environment to everybody else’s environment? Are you going to work every day and wishing that you didn’t work for that company anymore? Have you not felt inspired to do something different or to rise above in quite a while?

Nobody, no one wants to be miserable. No one does it. If you’re in a relationship that isn’t working, no one wants that. If you’re in a job that’s not working for you, no one wants that and anything that’s in your life, you have the ability to change. And so that’s what this is all about.

Your needs are valid. A reminder to stand up, and express what you need from your partner!

So often I think a lot of us, especially in our younger years, find ourselves kind of just like fallen into a relationship. It’s as if I’m, you ever had a bad relationship where you woke up maybe a a year later or God forbid, five, 10-15 years later. And you’re kind of like, wow, this is some times passed and how the hell did that happen and I’m pretty miserable. How did I get here to ever come out of relationship like that? How did I get here? And it might not be an intimate relationship. It might be a relationship at your professional level, right? It might be a friendship, but one where you had suddenly awakened and said, wow, how did that happen? What the hell was going on there? Hopefully if you’ve been through that experience, you’ve had an opportunity to step back and take a look at a few things.

What does it take for someone to have the opportunity to be your partner? What does it take? What kind of standards do you have that somebody must abide by to be with you? So often, a lot of us forget to stand up for ourselves and to take a step back and say, what are values today?
