This week's guest is a truly remarkable individual. Susan Hathaway-Saurman's journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, as she has navigated through profound challenges with unwavering positivity.

For over two decades, Susan has dedicated herself to the role of an administrative assistant, diligently serving a Pennsylvania real-estate development company.

But beyond her professional endeavors lies a story of profound courage and determination.

Growing up in the shadows of domestic violence and enduring the trauma of child abuse, Susan's early years were fraught with fear and uncertainty.

Yet, through the darkness, she discovered a beacon of hope—the power of sharing her own experiences to offer guidance and support to others trapped in similar circumstances.

Driven by a desire to shed light on the realities of abusive relationships, Susan made a pivotal decision—to pen her memoir, "The Courage I Learned."

Within its pages, she bravely recounts the harrowing events of her upbringing, including the tragic loss of her mother to violence when Susan was just fourteen years old.

Despite facing her own health battles, including stage 4 metastatic ovarian cancer, Susan remains an unwavering source of positivity and kindness.

As a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, she cherishes every moment spent with her loved ones, embodying the essence of living life to the fullest.
