In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom talks with Dr. Susanna Calvert, founder and executive director of the Foundation for Family and Community Healing and Sanctuary of Earth. She shares her personal narrative as a Chinese American who followed a traditional path to success, culminating in a tenure-track position at Virginia Commonwealth University. However, she faced a crisis of fulfillment upon achieving tenure, realizing that societal expectations did not equate to personal happiness. This led her to implement significant life changes, including relinquishing her tenure and embarking on a new career path. Her journey reflects her commitment to personal growth and the importance of balancing emotional and cognitive intelligences. Following a 26-year career in higher education,  Dr. Susanna (Sanna) Wu-Pong Calvert, MAPP, PhD is the Founder and Executive Director of two 501(c)3 nonprofits, the Foundation for Family and Community Healing (www.HealingEdu.org) which fosters resilience and wellbeing skill development, and Sanctuary of Earth (www.SanctuaryOfEarth.org), whose mission is to actualize human spiritual potential.  During her career, she has published almost 100 journal articles, books, book chapters, and abstracts, and has written hundreds of blogs including for Psychology Today.  She is a consultant, reiki master/energy healer, soul medium, tarot reader, and intuitive coach (www.SusannaCalvert.com).
