Inspire and empower individuals and organizations to make an impact by confidently saying no, so they can say yes to what matters

Dr. Susan Hughes is an International Speaker, #1 International Bestselling Author, a Certified Life Coach, nonpracticing physician, and an unapologetic traumatic brain injury survivor. She helped people focus on wellness and reaching their true potential as a physician for over twenty years in practice. She was the typical over-extended physician, wife to a cancer survivor, and Mom to two amazing kids. She had a busy family practice in the Pacific Northwest seeing pediatrics, adults and even delivered over 3,000 babies. She was exhausted! As a serial entrepreneur, she was looking for options to leverage her time and improve life balance. The universe answered in an unexpected way when she was in a devastating car accident that left her with a traumatic brain injury. She retired from clinical medicine and focused on recovery from the car accident and has truly been successful at rewiring her brain and rewiring her life. She now guides people on their own journey by using so many lessons that she personally learned.

We all face a challenge at some point in life whether it be an illness, injury in yourself or a loved one, loss of career, financial upheaval, or all of them at the same time like Dr. Susan did. Her goal is to sit with you, acknowledge your grief, your pain, your anger, and let you know that you will be okay. It may not be the same okay, but you will be better. You'll not just bounce back, or bounce higher,  but truly Bounce HIGHEST.

Shift Happens

We all know that Shift Happens... and, no, that's not a typo! Have you ever been through something that made you stop, take a deep breath, and panic about what to do next? Have you had an abrupt career change or loss, or even a devastating change in a relationship or marriage? How about a health concern that forced you to re-examine everything? If so, you're not alone. We've all been through these shifts and the good news is that there is a way through it.
