Welcome! I'm Susie Bower

Let’s cut the excuses.

You’re not exhausted because you’re getting older or you have hormone or gut issues. You’re exhausted because you’ve been living like your body is optional.

You’re running on caffeine, pushing through, saying yes when you mean no, and ignoring the signals, then acting confused when your weight changes, your sleep crashes, your mood flips, and your body starts hurting.

This is what happens when you make yourself the last priority for years and then act surprised when your body starts collecting the debt. You’ve trained everyone around you to rely on you and you’ve trained yourself to ignore your body.

Stress isn’t always bad, but chronic stress turns into burnout, and burnout turns into consequences.

You can keep calling this “life” or you can face the truth, Your body will eventually make the decision for you.

I’m Susie Bower. 25+ years in health and wellness mentoring. Burnout recovery and prevention is what I do. If you want comfort, go somewhere else. If you want results, keep reading.

How I Got So Jaded (And Why It Made Me Dangerous in the Best Way)

I didn’t become this person because I read books. I became this person because I lived it. For 20 years I battled depression. The kind you hide. The kind you function through. The kind you don't let people see.

At 20, I had my first back surgery, and what shocked me wasn’t just the surgery. It was how quickly everything defaulted to one solution: medicate it. No one asked why a young woman had a spine that looked decades older. No one got curious. It was pills, coping, and carry on. So I carried on. Alone. Quietly. Trying not to burden anyone.

When I found out I was pregnant over 15 years ago, I gave up alcohol immediately. Not for a gold star. Because something in me knew: I can’t keep numbing and calling it normal. That decision changed everything.

Then 20 years later COVID hit, I had another back surgery, my fitness classes shut down, and I couldn’t even move my body the way I normally would and depression came back full force. Here’s how real it got, I was in another cycle of not washing my hair for over 3 weeks. That’s what burnout and depression look like behind closed doors. I finally shared it publicly in a YouTube video because I knew women were suffering in silence thinking they were the only ones. They’re not.

Then came the real turning point. For years I was sick, declining, and repeatedly told my results were “fine.” Meanwhile my body was screaming. During the tail end of COVID times, I found a surgical center and removed my breast implants. Even my surgeon didn’t believe in breast implant illness. But after explant, nearly all my symptoms started disappearing. My health slowly began to rise again. And it made one thing undeniable, a woman can be “fine” on paper… and falling apart in her real life.

Why I do what I do? Because I know what it’s like to suffer quietly while still showing up for everyone else. I built this work to be what I needed, truth, clarity, root-cause answers, and real support. I’m not here to sugar coat. I’m not here to hype you up. I’m here to help you get your life and your body back, understand how this happened… and take control so you never end up back here again.

Women have been lied to from every angle. Food engineered to hook you. An industry that profits off your shame. A culture that convinces you your needs make you selfish.

I stand for the woman who wakes up. The woman who stops abandoning herself. The woman who finally says, this ends with me.
