In Episode 168, I speak with author, coach, and lover of life, Susan Gold. Susan, departed her chaotic family home the morning after High School graduation and made her way to NYC to start working at ICM, a large global talent agency. She became known for attaching celebrities to brands before it was chic, which led her to LA where she met her greatest guru: the man that would become her ex-husband. After decades living in two of the world's largest cities, Susan heeded an internal call and now resides in rural Montana, enjoying the expansiveness of nature, helping others ferret their way through difficulties and trauma. She has transformed from trauma to freedom and is now loving her heaven on earth. Please enjoy this fun and inspiring conversation..
Susan Gold was raised in a challenging and chaotic family system, the middle child of five. To fully thrive, she bravely chose to meet the demons of her upbringing that were continuing to repeat. Her book, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom is about that journey.
Professionally, Susan became known for attaching celebrity talent to projects in NYC which led her to produce for television and film and on to Los Angeles. She convinced modern art legend Andy Warhol to do an on-camera commercial for Pontiac, a talent deal American TV personality Donny Deutsch still claims as one of his best, helped launch Fox News Channel at the request of Chair, Roger Ailes, and on behalf of Disney Channel persuaded A-list celebrities including Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Taylor Swift, David Beckham and more to be interviewed by cartoon characters…Phineas & Ferb.
Susan is a decorated endurance athlete competing in three marathons, and dozens of triathlons and has the distinction of finishing third in her age group at the treacherous Escape from Alcatraz event.
After living with force on both coasts of the United States, Susan heeded an intuitive call for a quieter life and now resides in the northwest corner of the mystical state of Montana with her beloved partner and their pets. Keen on leaving a legacy to help others heal from challenges she’s successfully met, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom, is part of that quest. With the same magic Susan created in her entertainment career, she is now leading retreats, webinars, workshops and private sessions to help others drop outdated storylines and programming in exchange for living from the heart in authentic freedom as adults. Susan is truly living, as she describes it, in heaven on earth. Please enjoy this powerful conversation
