About Suzy:
A storytelling pro moonlighting as an ‘ imperfect boy mom extraordinaire’
Before my book and podcast and even before motherhood I was a keen storyteller with a background in broadcast TV and a passion for sharing real-life experiences.
But life doesn’t follow a script.
Throughout my life and career, I’ve faced plenty of challenges adapting, reinventing, and pivoting more times than I can count! I started in public television, ran my own production company, and now work in digital marketing, where tech advancements continue to keep me on my toes.
But the great thing is, if you can roll with the punches in business, you can definitely handle a toddler tantrum and a teenage attitude!
I’ve never thought of myself as someone born to be a mother. MY MOM is that person. Instead, I’m a realist — lucky enough to have the opportunity to try my hand at this whole parenting thing, and strive to put two good humans out into the world.
