Suzie Humphreys
Suzie Humphreys   Suzie has a way, with laughter, poignant stories and jump-start inspiration, of confirming that fear doesn't have to be the motivating force that guides us through our journey of life; that fear that make us stay in careers that no longer bring us joy, and keeps us from reaching for those dreams that constantly swirl in our imagination... fear of failure... fear of success. Why do we become “afraid” to say YES to life? We don't move forward immediately, because we think we need to wait until the time is perfect. We say we will “One Day!” “One Day” comes and goes and we are left behind regretting that it was not life that passed us by at all... rather our decision to LIVE IT! Suzie helps us to see that “the time is already perfect” for whatever we want to do... all we have to do is JUST DO IT!

  “Life is What Happens to You While You're Making Other Plans.” You'll go with Suzie through five years of television, hob-knobing with the “famous”... being fired... being broke... getting divorce... getting remarried... and having her only child at age 40. You'll hear about the riotous mistake on her first day as a traffic reporter that brings uproarious laughter from the audience and cements Suzie's success in radio for 20 years! You'll take a roller coaster ride through her failures at breakneck speed, only to discover at the end of the trip that those very same failures turned out to be the “very best things that ever happened to her”.

  “Please Pick Up After Yourself, Your Mother Doesn't Work Here.” It all boils down to relationships! Suzie shares the most significant of hers and frankly tells how she learned to focus what is “right and good” about others... rather than what she had heretofore perceived as “wrong and bad”. We all have “those people” in our lives... the ones who are in our face and know how to “push our buttons”. We meet her delightful and strong-willed mother, the one she couldn't get along with for 34 years! -- Her husband whom she adores... (she calls him John Wayne). There is the homeless woman, who through a brief encounter, awakened Suzie's realization that... Things can happen to you... Things can happen around you... But the only thing that really counts is WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU.
