Borrow My Belief

Format: 45-60 minute keynote

Imagine being paralyzed on one side of your body, not being able to speak. You can only communicate through a smiling, winking and taking pictures. You are in a comatose state for days, when you come through you've got the mindset of a newborn and need to relearn everything, after suffering from a stroke at the age of 28.

Suzy Simonson does not have to imagine this, it is a major chapter in the story of her life.

Suzy's family held the belief that she would fully recover. When Doctors said she could be a vegetable and would need out patient care, her family didn't accept this and took her home to care for her. Their belief was stronger than the Dr.s doubt.

Join Suzy as she shares with you her vulnerable journey through, healing from her stroke and becoming an international speaker, 6 figure business owner and best selling author. Her healing started with a few WHO believed in her. She borrowed their belief, until it became her own, she has kept what was meant for her and passes along what isn't hers to keep!

Suzy has created a way to describe this process as: The Belief Cycle. Our belief is one of the most powerful sources in the world!! Who YOU say you are matters!

Learn how to implement The Belief Cycle, no matter where you have come from or the belief you hold in this moment. This tool will encourage you to move into who you are meant to be!

This program is perfect for:
Women with limiting beliefs

MOPS groups
Business Conferences

The audience will leave with:
Confidence to examine how they view themselves
Tools to redirect damaging thoughts
Strength to accept encouragement
Inspiration to take daily steps towards purpose
Knowledge that they are not alone

Depression and Anxiety are things that Suzy has had a relationship with for most of her life. At times they were toxic, abusive and manipulative. At other times they brought her to a place of empathy and gave her a platform to speak to the beauty in the life she's lived.

At the time of her stroke, Suzy had been a professional photographer, working with her mom for six years. Upon being released from the hospital barely able to talk, she refused to cancel a scheduled photo shoot – knowing in her soul she had to face the challenge rather than shrink away. Inside somewhere, somehow, she KNEW she couldn't give up when things were hard.

After her hemiplegic migraine and stroke, Suzy was hospitalized and left with the mindset of a newborn baby. She lost all of her memory, as well as the ability to speak and move freely. Her love for life, people and trying to communicate never left… she would smile, wink and take pictures to let her family and the hospital staff know that she would be okay.

Giving up was not an option!

She regained her memories, as they were like a lottery ticket: The knowledge was hidden there, ready to be scratched off and resurface. In her recovery from the stroke – she knew that she had to fight to get well for her family. She knew her purpose in life was now larger than herself.

Today Suzy is back in full force with her love for people and passion for life. She has more tenacity than most people can fathom. She is now healthy, and she lives in Minnesota near her family of three, her husband who has joined her in building Stroke to Success and their son born in March, 2019.

Suzy loves every new chance she gets to connect with people who need her as much as she needs them, knowing by doing what she does best, she helps them become THEIR best!

Speaking to audiences across the world is a dream come true. She dreamed of crowds of thousands when she was 12 years old and cherishes every face in the audience!
