A victim of domestic abuse, she relied heavily on drugs for years when eventually, her substance use led to her losing her home and her children. Desperate to get her life back, Susann leaned into her faith, got sober, regained custody and has been living in active sustainable recovery since 2014.
Susann received her peer training from CCAR and has worked in peer coaching for the last four years. She became certified through COPA as a CPFS in 2023, and earned her Bachelor of Psychology degree from Colorado Christian University in May of 2024. At the 2023 Rural Peer Conference, Susann was introduced to HardBeauty and was hired on as a coach.
Peer coaching is about giving others hope in the fact that recovery is possible. Its meeting the individual where they are at and being the light in their darkness”
