Let’s Connect
Hi there! I’m Susie, the voice behind Enlightenzz. At 61, I’ve learned that the best conversations happen when we drop the formalities and just talk real. So let’s do that.
Why I Want to Hear from You
When I started Enlightenzz, I thought I was just sharing my own journey. What I discovered was something much bigger – a community of women who are navigating similar waters, facing similar challenges, and celebrating similar victories.
Your experiences, questions, and insights make this space richer. Every email I receive teaches me something new, challenges my thinking, or reminds me that none of us are alone in this journey.
What We Can Talk About
Life Transitions: Starting over at 50, 60, or beyond? Career pivots, relationship changes, empty nest adjustments – let’s talk about the real stuff that happens when life takes unexpected turns.
Financial Realities: From bankruptcy to building wealth, from financial fear to freedom – money conversations don’t have to be taboo. I’ve been broke, I’ve rebuilt, and I’m still learning.
Health & Wellness: Menopause, changing bodies, new diagnoses, mental health struggles – our bodies are writing new chapters, and it helps to compare notes.
Relationships: Adult children, aging parents, evolving marriages, new friendships, setting boundaries – relationships after 50 come with their own unique challenges and joys.
Personal Growth: Finding purpose, discovering creativity, spiritual exploration, letting go of old patterns – growth doesn’t stop at 50; in many ways, it accelerates.
Daily Intentions: How are you choosing to show up today? What attributes are you cultivating? How is the “Today I Choose” practice working for you?

What Happens When You Write
When your email lands in my inbox, it gets my full attention. I usually respond within 2-3 days, though sometimes life happens (you know how it is). Your stories and questions often inspire new articles, though I never share personal details without permission.
Sometimes I might ask if I can address your question in a blog post (anonymously, of course) because chances are, if you’re wondering about something, others are too.
For Professional Inquiries
Are you a:
- Health or wellness practitioner serving women over 50?
- Financial advisor who understands late-start retirement planning?
- Author or creator with resources for our community?
- Organization supporting women in midlife transitions?
I’m always open to collaborations that genuinely serve our community. Send me your ideas!
Speaking Engagements
I speak about:
- Starting over after 50
- Financial recovery and rebuilding
- The “Today I Choose” philosophy
- Authentic aging in a youth-obsessed culture
- Finding purpose in life’s second half
Both virtual and in-person opportunities considered.
A Few Ground Rules
This is a safe space. That means:
- No judgment (we’ve all made choices we’d reconsider)
- Confidentiality (your story is yours to tell)
- Authenticity (no need to pretend everything’s perfect)
- Respect (for all paths and perspectives)
Before You Go…
If you’re sitting there wondering whether to hit send on that email, let me make it easy: YES. Send it. Your question isn’t too small, your story isn’t too messy, and your voice absolutely matters.
This community exists because women like you decided to share their truth. Every connection makes us stronger.
Can’t wait to hear from you,
Susie
P.S. Still hesitating? Here’s what I know: the emails that start with “This might sound silly, but…” often lead to the best conversations. Trust your instincts. Reach out.
