This was just the first incident in a string of difficult experiences that Susan has overcome. From death to single motherhood and domestic violence, brushes with cancer, financial ruin and sexual assault – Susan has endured so much heartbreak and challenges in her lifetime. What would have emotionally crippled many of us, has only made Susan stronger. Her ability to pick herself back up and tackle things head-on is incredible.
In addition to inspiring people with her story, Susan is a campaigner in the fight against domestic violence, actively educating and raising awareness for significant social change.
Susan is also passionate about helping our younger generation to live life to the fullest – showing them how to face their fears and take on new challenges, resulting in them becoming stronger and more resilient people.

‘Susan gave a superb presentation and shared her remarkable story with our guests at our 2017 International Women’s Day breakfast celebration. So many of our guests were emotionally touched by her honesty and courage in the way she spoke about her life journey over the years. We could not have chosen a better person to tell their story. Susan spoke so openly about the challenges in her young life and brought to our attention her acts of courage and determination to find ways to overcome her fears. Susan has made and will continue to make a difference to the way we as Australians live our lives. I know she will go on to greater challenges and achieve so much more in the years to come.’
