ABOUT THE GUEST
Dr Sue Carter Collins is an author, speaker, and Greatness Life Coach. She speaks on a variety of topics related to self-empowerment, spirituality, spiritual resilience, and the Imposter Syndrome.
She is an ordained metaphysical minister, an intuitive channel, and a Master Synergistic Energy Healer. She is certified in multiple healing modalities including Reiki, Pranic, and Mindfulness Meditation.
Dr Sue is the author of Return to Self: 5 Steps to Emotional and Spiritual Freedom and the owner of the Synergistic Healing Center of Atlanta, where the mission is “Empowering Women and Transforming Lives One Spirit at a Time.”
Dr Sue’s story is this. She is the daughter of a convicted felon—her father--and of an uneducated maid—her mother, both of whom are now deceased. She was born into a family of 10 children who were thought least likely to succeed because of their socio-economic circumstances. She was on the cutting edge of the Civil Rights Movement in education being one of the first African Americans to integrate a high school, two universities, and a law school. Against all odds, she completed five academic degrees—BS, MS, JD, PhD, BMsc—and was the first Police Legal Advisor for a major metropolitan police department in the Deep South. She also was the first African American to be tenured and awarded Associate Emeritus Professor status by the Georgia State University Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology.
Despite her accomplishments, Dr Sue lived with a big secret. She never thought she was good enough or smart enough for the things she achieved and often felt like an imposter. To the outside world it looked like she had it all together but inside she lived in constant fear that she would fail. As a result, she began to shrink her career ambitions and play small in the game of life.
It was by divine intervention that one day she found herself in a conversation with five other high achieving women from different professions who shared that they each were experiencing the same thing. That conversation ignited her passion and fed her commitment to research and understand this phenomenon.
Today Dr Sue assists high-performing professional women to connect with their true self, master their mindset, and release limiting beliefs that stop them from attaining their next-level goals. She strives to make the invisible visible and coaches around spiritual insights. As a result of working with her women feel empowered to break through mental barriers that have held them back and successfully pursue their goals.
