Sue Ryan knows what it feels like to be standing at the edge of the abyss in our life – or to be down in the abyss – not knowing where to turn, what to do, or who to talk with.

She navigated the transition from being the adoring daughter of my hero, my Dad, to a journey with him as a caregiver through his diagnosis of a type of Dementia.

She's navigated the transition from being a consistent top performer in her company and achieving the highest recognition, to realizing it wasn’t where she wanted to be, having no idea where to turn, what to do, or who to talk with.

She navigated the journey of being single into her late forties in a career that had her traveling frequently and doing what she wanted when she wanted, to falling in love and marrying Jack – the love of her life – becoming part of his large family, embracing his desire to retire, move, and travel.

She navigated the transition from being the loving wife and partner with Jack, to our being told he was now an Alzheimer’s patient and I was now his caregiver – the path we’ve been journeying together for the past eleven years until his death in 2023.

She navigated the transition from living her life being who she thought others wanted her to be, to discovering who she's meant to be, recreating her life, and living with joy from the highest expression of who she is. She's become the master of transitions and is here to help you become the master of yours.

She doesn't want your transitions to be as difficult as hers were or take you as long to learn how to intentionally – and successfully – navigate them as it took her.
