Jane Fischer Interview

Jane Fischer joins us for a heartfelt and revealing conversation about her memoir If You Knew Suzy: Pushing Past the Boundaries of Never. Born with Rare Brain Disorder, Suzy Fischer Was Told She’d Never Walk, Talk, or Thrive—But She Did All That and More Doctors gave Suzy Fischer a grim prognosis at birth: she would never walk, talk, live independently, or have meaningful relationships. Born with severe brain abnormalities and the rare Joubert Syndrome, she faced a lifetime of “nevers.” But her mother, Jane Fischer, refused to accept that future—and devoted herself to giving Suzy the fullest life possible.This is the story of her journey, the trials and tribulations, the successes, and the failures. This is a story of the power of perseverance, unwavering support, and most of all love.    With honesty and grace, she discusses what it means to tell your story fully, live beyond a diagnosis, and find power in vulnerability. Whether you’ve faced your own "never," or are curious about how memoir can shape both writer and reader, this episode offers a wealth of insight.
