Hi Sue , thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What do the first 90 minutes of your day look like?
This is the first 90 minutes of my morning, where I enjoy drinking my Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, relax in the sauna, and practice Reformer Pilates.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?

Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
The first time I felt powerful was when I learned how to express my thoughts and assert myself instead of being a people pleaser.

When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
I never shy away from my pain; by confronting my failures and embracing my struggles, I’ve learned to navigate through life’s challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
The version of me that you see in public is genuine; what I share on social media truly reflects who I am. I have a passion for fitness, a love for traveling, and I absolutely cherish my work as a model. Embracing these aspects of my life not only makes me happy, but it also allows me to connect with others who share similar interests.

Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
When I think about the legacy I want to leave behind, it’s simple: I want people to remember me as someone who encouraged them to embrace their true selves. Strive to be who you are, always show kindness, and lend a helping hand to others, even when no one is watching. It’s in those quiet moments of generosity that we make the biggest impact on the world around us.
