Susie Maríe’s Stories, Lessons & Insights

We recently had the chance to connect with Susie Maríe and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Susie, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What do you think others are secretly struggling with—but never say?
This is a good one! Honestly, I think a lot of people secretly struggle with just being present. Most won’t say it, but they’re carrying around this mental checklist of everything that needs to be done, what hasn’t been done, and what’s coming next. On the outside it looks like they’ve got it all together, but really they’re overwhelmed and sometimes taking on way more than they should. It’s like they’re chasing control, but the crazy thing is the only real control we have is in the present moment. Not by holding onto the past, not by stressing over the future just by handling what’s right here, or sometimes just letting it be. I feel like if more people could slow down, sit with themselves, and actually see what’s in front of them, they’d feel lighter, freer, and like they’re finally in the front row of their own life.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi, I’m Susie Maríe, I never thought I’d be here doing this. For a long time, I thought I was okay living the life that society told me I needed the 9 to 5, being married, checking off all the boxes. But deep down, I had conformed to a version of myself that wasn’t real. Life had to break me down through struggles, through people’s assumptions about me, through moments where I didn’t even recognize myself for me to finally say, ‘No, this isn’t who I am.’
When I hit that breaking point, I stripped everything back. I pulled off the layers, I sat with the raw and vulnerable version of myself. And that’s where I actually found my strength. That’s when I began discovering who I really was.
What makes my brand unique is that it was born from that place of truth. I don’t just work on a surface level I work spiritually, at the root, at the level most people don’t see. So much of what’s offered out there is physical, because we’ve been stuck in a 3D way of thinking. But we’re shifting now into a 5D world. People are waking up to their spiritual gifts, having experiences they can’t explain, and wondering if something’s wrong with them. It’s not wrong. It’s an awakening.
And that’s where I come in guiding people through that transition, helping them see that these shifts are not something to fear, but something to embrace. Because sometimes the most gifted souls have to walk through the hardest fire so they can rise even stronger, and finally step into the life they were meant to live not as a slave to the system, but as a child of God, here to bring light.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I believed that everything in life had to be hard. I grew up hearing, ‘We can’t afford that right now’ or ‘No, the rent has to be paid first,’ so I started to think that struggle was the only way. That mindset made me afraid of everything, which also made me easy to control and deceive. Somewhere along the way, I picked up this belief that I just couldn’t do it, whatever ‘it’ was. And as I got older, that block got heavier.
I didn’t even realize how much it was costing me, but people around me did. Some even used it to manipulate me, and it kept me stagnant for years.
It took a lot, putting myself first, sitting in meditation, purging old beliefs, going through what felt like death and rebirth over and over for me to finally understand that fear is an illusion. Things don’t have to be so hard. Life can actually be simple, and I am capable of anything I choose to do.
So my message for anyone who grew up being told they couldn’t, or manipulated into believing they weren’t enough: you are worth everything you desire. You can do it. And the moment you believe that, everything changes.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
For a long time, I thought strength meant hiding my pain. I went through struggles, even domestic abuse, and I told myself I had to put on a front, act like I was unshakable. But the truth was, in those moments I didn’t feel strong at all, I felt weak, ashamed, and silenced. I thought hiding it would protect me, or even protect the people who hurt me.
What I’ve learned is that hiding your pain doesn’t make you strong it makes you carry the weight alone. The moment I stopped burying it and started speaking about it was the moment everything shifted. Because pain, when you face it, is actually a portal to transformation.
When I started sharing my story, especially about my past relationship and the abuse I went through, I was terrified. But the leap of faith I took showed me how many others were silently going through the same thing. People began reaching out, saying they finally felt seen and less alone. That’s when I realized my pain wasn’t just mine it could be turned into power, not only to heal myself but to help others heal too.
Now, instead of being ashamed of what broke me, I use it as fuel. I stand up for myself, and in doing that, I’m standing up for others who are still sitting in silence. My pain has become my power because it’s proof that even in the darkest places, we can rise and we can help others rise with us.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies the spiritual industry tells is that people have to keep healing forever. It creates this endless loop where you’re told you’re never done, never whole and that’s just not true.
Yes, there are seasons in life where deep healing is needed physically, spiritually, mentally. You have to go within in order to understand the outer. But real healing doesn’t keep you stuck in a cycle; it builds you, it transforms you, it teaches you how to move differently. At some point, your whole life shifts. You look back and realize you’ve morphed into who you were always meant to be.
That’s when the focus has to move from constant healing to creating taking those small physical steps to build the reality that once felt impossible. That’s where true manifestation lives. Not in staying trapped in the healing loop that many practitioners profit from, but in ascending, integrating, and actually living.
Because the whole point of being here on Earth isn’t to spend your entire life ‘fixing’ yourself. It’s to understand what it means to be human to embody, to create, and to live free.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If immortality were real, what would you build?
If immortality were real, I wouldn’t be focused on building monuments or empires, I’d be building legacies of love, wisdom, and awakening. Because what outlives us isn’t the material, it’s the impact. I’d create spaces where souls remember who they truly are, where people feel safe to heal, awaken, and embody their divinity.
For me, immortality wouldn’t be about having more time, it would be about using time differently. I’d build a new way of living on Earth where humanity sees itself not as limited, but as eternal. And if I had forever, I’d spend it guiding others to realize they already are immortal not in body, but in soul.
