Dr Valerie Sussman
Dr. Valerie Sussman is a survivor, a healer, and a creative force on a mission to empower women to reclaim their voices, heal their wounds, and create lives that are nothing short of masterpieces. As a writer, artist, and retired pediatrician, Valerie brings a unique blend of expertise, compassion, and irreverent wit to her work, creating a safe and inspiring space for women to explore their stories, express their truths, and transform their pain into power.
Valerie's journey of healing and self-discovery began at the age of fifty, when she bravely hung up her stethoscope, filed for divorce after twenty years in an emotionally abusive narcissistic marriage, and set out to mend her broken heart. In the process, she rediscovered the transformative power of creativity, embracing the wise words of Carrie Fisher, "Take your broken heart and make some art." And make art, she did.
