All About Sue
I grew up in Milwaukee, attended an all-girl high school (which planted so many seeds for future development), and went to college for elementary education. I left college with my degree and a relationship with my now husband of 30+ years. I began my career teaching, with it being happily interrupted by the birth of our children. After our second child made an especially exciting entry to the world, I decided to stay at home for a few years. I enjoyed those years filled with zoo trips, story time at the library, playing at the park, make-believing, potty training...and lots of tantruming. In fact, that period opened my eyes to the amazing world of early childhood education. When our second child went to 4K, so did I...as a 4K teacher assistant! Within a few years I went back to school for my Early Childhood license and taught 5K for the remainder of my teaching career.
I always thought I'd be a traditional teacher for life, but I began to feel some tugs towards other callings. In a pivotal moment at 2:30 am on September 20, 2016, I knew without a doubt I needed to shift gears. I resigned at the end of that school year. And I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD DO NEXT! But I trusted what I was feeling and went for it. I landed in the world of staffing for a year, and learned I do not thrive in a quota-driven environment. I was open to new opportunities, and a chance to work with adults with disabilities came along. I loved helping people reach their goal of working in the community. I grew and was promoted to a leadership position that challenged me to grow on many levels.
In 2020 I found myself doing some deep dives into myself while being temporarily furloughed due to Covid-19. I discovered podcasts and reflected on them in my journals. I read lots of books. I had virtual coffee/wine with friends and we discussed issues. I did some soul-searching on myself, my relationships, religion, spirituality, racism, gender, systems...let's just say it stretched me and it changed me inside. For the best. I got language around things I had known in my gut, but didn't know how to express with my words.
And I wanted to be able to share this. That's when life coaching made itself known to me. I knew deep down this is what I was supposed to be doing. I enrolled in a certification program, was mentored by some amazing people, and received my certificate in 2021.
I am so excited to be mindset and spiritual life coaching! I have no idea where the future will lead, but I know I am doing what I am supposed to do. And I'm honored walk with you!
