Listen Later

Susan Snow is a powerful voice for healing, resilience, and transformation. The daughter of slain LAPD Detective Thomas C. Williams, Susan’s life was forever changed on Halloween night in 1985 when her father was ambushed and murdered in the line of duty. She was just 17 years old. That singular, devastating moment became the catalyst for a lifelong journey through trauma, loss, and ultimately, recovery.Today, Susan is a published author, speaker, coach, and advocate for trauma awareness. Her work draws on lived experience, personal reinvention, and the hard-won lessons of moving from victimhood to survivorship. With deep empathy and unflinching honesty, she speaks to those who have experienced loss, battled with PTSD, or struggled to find meaning in the aftermath of tragedy.Her message centers on the truth that life can change in a heartbeat—but so can healing. Susan is a living example that recovery is possible, and that vulnerability, far from being a weakness, is a doorway to transformation.In her writing and public speaking, Susan explores how to navigate the ripple effects of violence, live with PTSD, and bulldoze fear to find freedom. She empowers audiences with tools to reframe pain, embrace authenticity, and build a tribe of support. Her signature themes include transforming grief into growth, practicing forgiveness without erasing the past, and showing up with courage even when life breaks your heart.Professionally, Susan also works as a successful Realtor in the Denver Metro area, where she helps families find places to call home—a mission that resonates deeply with her values of security, belonging, and new beginnings.Her debut book—an intimate memoir of trauma, healing, and personal discovery—is a heartfelt guide for anyone on their own grief journey. Susan shares not only her story but the modalities and mindset shifts that helped her manage PTSD and find a sustainable path forward.Whether on stage, in her writing, or in one-on-one coaching, Susan Snow’s voice is one of hope, strength, and authentic connection.
