From Corporate Life to Calling Through Books with Susie Schaefer | Ep 222

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Susie Schaefer. She says – “Our self-worth isn’t tied to what we own—it’s in how we take care of ourselves.” Susie’s path to purposeful work didn’t follow a straight line, but it did follow her intuition. After a major life change, she took a chance on something new and unfamiliar - independent publishing. What started as a leap of faith turned into a thriving business, and a calling. She now helps authors bring meaningful stories into the world, blending her deep publishing expertise with spiritual insight to guide them through both the practical and emotional sides of writing. Susie Schaefer is the CEO and founder of Finish the Book Publishing. She’s known as a transformational book doula for "cause publishing". Whether supporting an author through healing past trauma or helping amplify a voice for social change, Susie empowers storytellers to spark movements. When she’s not publishing books or writing screenplays, you’ll find her meditating on a beach, doing yoga, or planning her next travel adventure. Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You’ll hear how life transitions - divorce, job changes, uncertainty - can open doors to a purpose you didn’t expect. You’ll learn why tuning into your inner voice might just be the business strategy you didn’t know you needed. You’ll get a powerful reminder that it’s okay to shift gears midlife, and that doing so can lead to more alignment, joy, and meaning.
