Part one-woman show, part keynote speech, ‘Wings’ shares important messages about life on the other side of fear
Through captivating, heart-squeezing and often humorous stories about her family, Susan offers audiences an opportunity to awaken to deep personal transformation.
‘Wings’ is about life on the other side of fear, and the journey to get there. It’s also about triumph over trauma and adversity, told in an engaging, relatable way.
‘Wings’ is the story of a young girl – me! – raised in a family characterized by emotional chaos and financial uncertainty. She gives up her voice in exchange for her father’s adoration, which makes her feel safe. Later she is saved by her mother’s inspiring acts of courage, and embarks on her own journey to find her real voice. And she becomes the person she was meant to be.
In telling the story, I play different characters including myself at different ages, my parents and brother, and the voice of fear.
And I talk with the audience about where fear comes from and what I’ve learned about how to move past it – and experience a life of joy and fulfillment.
It’s a particularly bonding experience for moms and their teen/grown daughters, and groups of women.
Key Messages for the Audience
- Fearful thoughts fill our minds with distortions and illusions that pretend to keep us safe. These lies just keep us small and afraid. You are so much more than the voice in your head.
- When we take action in spite of our fears we discover what we are truly capable of, and develop the confidence to take the next step, and the next.
- A fulfilling and meaningful life, full of possibilities and promise is waiting for you, when you don’t allow fear to drive your decisions and choices.
- It’s never too late to build a life you love!
