In the last few years my client Susanne went from having a very normal, run-of-the-mill career to relocating to Italy, renovating a beautiful property, and opening a retreat space (she calls it a “thinker’s residence”) for creative people who long for peace and quiet to work on their most important projects.
Getting to help Susanne take this dream from vision to reality has been a highlight of my last few years as a coach, and I’m so excited to finally get to share her story with all of you!
Listen in to this month’s brand-new interview with a normal person, where Susanne and I get into…
- How she came up with such a big vision for her life, and how long she marinated on it before taking it seriously
- Why she blocked herself from acting on what she wanted for many years
- How she released some of her biggest, most debilitating limitations, and took huge risks (that clearly ended up paying off)
- The many ups and downs of turning her vision into a reality
- And what it’s like now, running a property in Italy for creative people (and how you can stay there!)
Leave a comment after you’ve listened to share how Susanne’s journey resonated with you!
MORE ABOUT SUSANNE
Spiritually confused, fearful of action and inaction, and utterly confused by life—what it means and how to live it—while maintaining a façade of “functioning” … this was Susanne’s state of mind a couple of years ago.
For way too long she tried to fit in, avoid mistakes, and attempt to act, be, and do what she thought others might find acceptable. Finally, she found the courage to cast off her debilitating fears and pursue what she truly wanted, and go all in on it. She allowed herself to dream—not bigger, but more aligned to who she is.
She realized that once she let go of the fear of others’ opinions, her life would no longer feel so exhausting. She discovered that she didn’t need to change herself as much as her environment to better suit her, leading her to finally feel happy, fulfilled, and in love with life.
Susanne is the owner of Suflora, a sanctuary for thinkers, creators, and dreamers who want to rediscover their passion, dive deep into their work, and to emerge with something not just completed, but transformed into a masterpiece. Suflora’s fully-equipped apartments are designed as your private think-tank, where you can work, cook, eat, rest, and create at your own pace, surrounded by the inspiring beauty of Umbria, Italy.
