Healing begins when we tell the truth—first to ourselves, then to the world.
Resilience is a practice. So is self-trust.
About Me
I'm Susan Stirling, I am a trauma sensitive certified coached. My work is rooted in lived experience, applied neuroscience, and the quiet courage it takes to heal—especially later in life.
​
I didn’t set out to make a big shift in the second half of my life, I simply followed the unraveling of my own story—through childhood trauma, life-altering falls, and the surprising beauty of getting back up again.
​
Want to know how I learned to fall, and why it changed everything?
Exciting New Book Launch
Newly Released 2026
March 3rd, 2026 Velcro Kisses is released into the world.
​
This book explores prophecy, trauma bonds, and the deliberate work of reclaiming one’s own narrative.
​
There was a time when I could not yet name what I was experiencing. Writing this book required language, self-compassion, and honesty. Bringing it into the world required trust, patience, and courage.
​
If you have ever questioned influence, untangled attachment, or searched for your own voice beneath someone else’s certainty — this book was written with you in mind.
​
Velcro Kisses is available now.
​
The Inner Work
If my story resonates with you, and you find yourself stirred to explore your own, I would be pleased to continue the conversation. The themes in Velcro Kisses — prophecy, trauma bonds, and reclaiming narrative — are not just pages in a book. They are lived experiences that many of us are still untangling. Through coaching, facilitation, and collaborative spaces, I support individuals and communities as they navigate change, examine influence, and reclaim their own steady voice. If reading this book feels like a beginning for you, know that you do not have to walk that path alone.
