Meet Sue

You’re not alone in your grief, overwhelm and challenges. With Supportegy, you’ll have a guiding hand and support from chronic illness coaches who’ve walked in your shoes.

In her 20s, Sue was finally diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or lupus. All of the strange symptoms she had been experiencing started to make sense. But for several months, she was stuck in an overwhelming and dark place, mourning for a future that suddenly felt unattainable. Her goals and dreams felt out of reach. It was as if lupus shattered every aspect of her life, from little things to all the plans she had made.

But then she discovered the mind-body connection and how it impacted her relationship with her disease, which completely shifted her mindset. She went from feeling lost, overwhelmed, alone, and lacking control of her life to being empowered, inspired, and ready to embrace all aspects of her life, knowing she had taken back the power that her illness took from her.

Now, Sue teaches you how to build a meaning-filled life, where you experience support, community, and life-long transformation. Sue will teach you practical, tangible ways to overcome the mental, emotional, and physical barriers standing in the path of living your best, most joy-filled life.
