Did you know grief can significantly lower your vibrational energy? In this episode of Infinite Life, Infinite Wisdom, Susan talks about how fear and grief shape your behaviour often without you realizing it. She explains how grief doesn’t always come from major loss. It can creep in during small, everyday moments. And when it does, you might find yourself fixing others, oversharing, or avoiding what you actually feel.

She shares real experiences, including how it felt to have her work used without permission. Instead of reacting, she paused. That simple shift helped her respond clearly, without getting pulled into emotion. She also talks about giving trust too easily and the fallout that can bring.

There’s a close look at codependency. Not in theory, but in how it shows up: avoiding conflict, hiding what you think, or needing someone else’s approval. Her message is simple. Your job is to take care of yourself first.

Susan also shares a quick update about her book, Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons, including how to get a bonus chapter and join a live Zoom event.

She closes with a reminder worth hearing: speak clearly, stay honest with yourself, and pay more attention to how you respond than what others do.
