My name is Cassandra and I'm a client of Susan's. I've been working with her for about the last year. There is a tremendous change. In fact, I kind of think of my life as before Susan and after Susan.

Before Susan, I would describe my life as confused and complacent. I didn't know where I was going. You know, I knew that life wasn't working for me but I didn't know why, or how to go about making it work for me or figuring out what I could do that would create more happiness in my life. See happiness just wasn't something I experienced on a daily basis. My life was more about surviving, more about doing what I had to do to get by. In fact, life was almost a chore not to be enjoyed.

A huge factor in that were feelings that I never allowed myself to feel. And a lot of it was repressed anger. I was angry about some things that had happened in my life. Some people that I felt failed me. In fact, I felt abandoned. And all of this anger and abandonment really created some tremendous barriers in my life. Barriers to myself and barriers to the people that mean the most to me. I would say overall that I was afraid to live. I was disconnected.

Well, a year later, I'm no longer afraid. I have a tremendous amount of clarity that I never even thought was possible. I have a clear sense of my life vision and my life calling. In fact, I enjoy my life now. I experience my life. I live my life today and I've discovered some things about me that were really surprising. Like, I'm creative. Pre-Susan I would have never used that adjective to describe myself. But little did I know that I like to draw, I like to paint. I like to create through photography and writing. It almost feels like this endless amount of creativity bubbling up within me waiting to come out. And not only that, I have a deeper and more meaningful relationship with myself and my family.

One of those relationships is with my mother. I have made tremendous progress in this relationship. One when I first approached Susan, this was a relationship I felt ready to write off. It wasn't worth it. I felt angry I felt abandoned. In this one year I reconnected with my mother. I maybe even connected with her for the first time in this last year. And have been able to let go of so much anger and abandonment feelings. And now I can see my mom for who she is and accept her for where she's at, and love her knowing and trusting that she loves me too.

It is for all of these things and more that I am so grateful for Susan. Thanks for listening.
