About Suzette

I used to think I didn’t have what it took to start over. It was too late for me. Then one day everything changed. 

For most of my adult life, I followed the path I thought I was supposed to take—college, law school, marriage, motherhood, a career. It was a good life, and at times a happy one. But a persistent restlessness and a longing I couldn’t name followed me throughout those years.

Something was off. In my fifties I was faced with a truth I could no longer deny, and I decided I wouldn’t go to my grave without knowing what it felt like to be fully alive. Finally, the pain of staying in the safe, comfortable life I’d built outweighed the fear of leaping into an unknown future. I came out, got divorced, and moved to a new city where I knew only one person. I also wrote a book about it.

Making that leap into the unknown led to a bigger and more abundant life than I ever imagined. A personal life where I finally feel comfortable in my own skin. A professional life where I feel validated, not invisible. A life where this debut author "of a certain age" was recognized by Poets & Writers Magazine!

Today, I’m an author, speaker, and book coach who helps others find the courage to tell their truth on the page and in their lives. I believe that authenticity is a lifelong journey and that it’s never too late to live the life you were meant to live. And if you're reading this, maybe a part of you does too.
