Suzie's work has appeared in Goop, Tin House, O Magazine, Catapult, Quartz, the Rumpus, and elsewhere. She is the author of Much to Your Chagrin: A Memoir of Embarrassment (Atria, 2009) and Battle Dress: What I Wore to Confront My Past, a longform essay about reckoning with decades-old sexual violence (Kindle Single, 2017). She conceived, produced, and performed in Moving for You: A Tribute to Empathy (2017), a short film directed, shot and edited by Austin Wideman, made in homage to a collection of others' stories of grief and loss. She is currently working on a memoir about self-trust, synchronicity and healing from trauma.⁠ ⁠ Since childhood, Suzanne has been an empath and also receives intuitive messages via sight (clairvoyance), sound (clairaudience), and knowing (claircognizance). In her late 20s, she began consciously developing her intuitive gifts in myriad ways, including through the study of astrology and tarot. The tragic loss of a close loved one has had a big influence on her intuitive practice. Facing mortality made her acutely aware of the passage of time—how we relate to it, how we use what time we have—and one outcome of this awareness has been a driving need for authenticity. This work helps her keep things real within herself and she hopes to inspire that in others, too. ⁠ ⁠
