Susan talks about how she raced to leave home as soon as she graduated, only to find herself repeating the family patterns while learning to be an adult in Manhattan.
She shares her experiences with workplace sexual abuse, overcoming her own alcoholism, dealing with narcissistic relationships, having loose morals, and the many other issues and obstacles which she has had to overcome to be the truest, most authentic version of herself.
She chronicles her toxic upbringing in her book, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom.
