In her unique tender, relatable style, Susan is a prominent voice of unconditional love and lavish inclusion. Powerful, authentic, and relevant in today’s society, Susan has a lot to say. The Advocate calls her their “Favorite Affirming Matriarch.” OutSmart magazine calls her "The Mother of all MamaBears!" Reverend Ashley Harness from Auburn Seminary says, “Susan has this fierce, loving, don’t mess with me, Mom vibe.” If you have been excluded, or if someone close to you has been excluded because of who they are or who they love - or maybe you have been the one doing the excluding - the FreedHearts podcast is for you.

You Don't Owe Non-Supportive People Anything!
You don’t owe non-supportive people answers when they can’t just let you be who you are.
You don’t owe them your time, you don’t owe them your peace, you don’t owe them your soul.
But that can be a challenge, for sure, because you don’t want to end the relationship.
Or, you may have the thought that if you back off, things could still mend somehow in the future.
Beloved, this can be toxic for you. And you don’t deserve that.
Let’s talk about this today and how the most powerful thing you can do for you, for those around you, is to just Be You!
