Journeys Of Women Portrait Series: Susie Steinhagen

THE JOURNEY BEHIND THE TITLE

Her journey did not begin with the corner office, 

but in a humble one-bathroom farmhouse shared with 5.

—where she first learned lessons in resilience.

She was also told that motherhood 

would never be part of her story. 

But Susie defied that verdict, welcoming a son, 

a living testament to her ability to create 

miracles where others saw impossibilities.

Her career has been remarkable: 

rising to the President in a male-dominated field, 

leading with courage and vision. 

Yet the high stakes of a life 

split between London and home led to 

burnout, even sending her to the ER—

a wake-up call to slow down and truly listen to her body.

This journey of rebuilding was not new to her. 

Having navigated the profound grief 

of her father’s passing, weight gain and mastectomy.

Susie has emerged stronger, wiser and 

more aligned with her authentic self.

.

Today, the noise of ambition is quieting, 

and a deeper calling is making itself heard. 

She is listening — patiently and powerfully

allowing herself to become 

even more aligned with who she truly is. 💛

Her life is a testament that 

our greatest transformations begin 

when we have the courage to pause, 

to heal and to listen to the quiet truth within.
