Susan Nefzger - Why is Self-Awareness Important

Mature Allure

SEASON 2; Episode 8:

Do you think you're self-aware? If so, how can you tell?

In this episode of Mature Allure, I had the pleasure of diving into mindfulness, self-awareness, and living fearlessly with my guest Susan Nefzger, a writer, coach, and PR professional. She emphasized that creating spaces for reflection, recognizing fear triggers, finding beauty in challenging situations, and choosing happiness are beneficial in our personal and professional lives, especially for women over 40 seeking a higher quality of life.

Susan Nefzger is a seasoned writer, coach, and PR professional with over 30 years of experience. Her journey of self-awareness inspired her to author transformative books such as "A Practical Guide to Awareness" and "A Practical Guide to Living Fearlessly." Susan’s work is dedicated to helping individuals uncover their purpose and live boldly through mindfulness and self-awareness. She integrates her love for photography and poetry to motivate others to perceive the extraordinary in the every day and to cherish life's beauty. Leveraging her extensive PR background, Susan provides unique insights into network building and visual storytelling.
