She outlines the importance of questioning the stories we tell ourselves about others' intentions and the significance of anchoring ourselves in our reality. Susan’s teachings emphasize the power of self-focus and truth in contributing to our well-being and authenticity. Additionally, we delve into the mysteries of near-death experiences (NDEs) and the afterlife, seeking comforting answers for those curious about what lies beyond our present consciousness.

When someone crosses a line, remember: it's your reaction that defines the boundary, not their behavior.” - Susan “People act based on who they are, not who you are. When you find yourself spiraling into self-doubt or negative self-talk due to someone else's actions, remember: you can't read their mind or know their truth. Instead, focus on your own truth and stay grounded.” - Susan “We don't truly know what's happening in other people's lives. That rude driver? They might have just received terrible news. It's easy to create stories in our heads, but remember this: their behavior isn't about you. You are lovable, capable, worthy, and enough every day, no matter what.” - Susan Susan Grau Susan Grau is an internationally celebrated intuitive life coach, a key opinion leader, author, medium and speaker, who discovered her ability to communicate with the spirit world after a near-death experience at age four.
