The world we grew up in doesn’t exist. But this new world has endless possibilities, and our children are flexible, they accommodate change easily.
So what if instead of trying to control your kids, suggests Susanna, you have the courage to let go and allow your kids to have their own learning experiences? To empower them to know they have what it takes to go through anything.

We all worry, but what if worrying wasn’t your only option? What if, instead of investing in other people’s points of view, you choose to be you?
Listen as Susanna suggests instead of worrying about what is going wrong in your life you look at it from a questioning position and give it the chance to change. Remember, you always have a choice, no matter what.

There is always something to be afraid of or to worry about. The key is to make a different choice and go in a direction that works for you, that creates a better future for you.
Listen to Susanna share her thoughts on taking the quantum leap to ease, joy and glory. Your past does not determine your future. Remember, you always have a choice to change your life in every moment.

The world around us is constantly shifting and changing. If you make what’s happening outside of your world part of your world you remove your choice to create your own world. And the only thing we have available is change and choice. But when you resist change, you create pain.
Susanna invites you to look at the places in your life where you hold onto your past, and asks what change is available that you haven’t acknowledged? What if you let go of your past and ask what change and choice is available that will allow you to thrive like never before?

As we enter a New Year, imagine everything that limited you before has now gone, leaving nothing but opportunities. And we aren’t talking about unsustainable, momentary solutions created from stress. We’re talking about taking everything you’ve ever learned and questioning it.
When you’re not weighed down by other people’s points of view, you allow yourself to see unexplored possibilities. When you allow yourself to be a happy airhead, you get to choose where to focus your attention and energy. So, asks Susanna, what else is possible for you that you’ve never considered before?

As the holidays approach, many people believe that meeting family takes away their choice because they have to meet their needs. Just because someone has needs of you doesn’t mean you don’t have choice. Needs are nothing but an interesting point-of-view.
Listen to Susanna share why we shouldn’t stress being around family this holiday season. Most of the time, family is an institution of people wanting you to stay as you always have been and not change. What if that is ok? Let go of expectations and judgements and enjoy whatever is and how joyful you can make your visits this year.

Things that need to get done, get done. And they get done when it’s time for them, not when they’re supposed to get done.
