Motherhood Beyond Fear with SUSANNAH LONG

Helping moms learn to live outside the bounds of anxiety

Hi, I'm Susannah. And.... I've been where you are.

I know what it's like to feel hijacked by your own mind when you're finally entering into the season of life that you've always looked forward to - early motherhood. After an intense struggle with anxiety and intrusive thoughts when I was around 6 months postpartum after having my first child, and despite being a licensed therapist with a thriving private practice, I finally decided to do something about it.

What started as a quest to conquer my own unwanted thoughts and anxiety has turned into a system that has helped hundreds of moms no longer feel controlled by anxiety and fear. They've learned to confidently show up in their lives  like never before -without anxiety and fear continuing to hold them back from what matters most to them. Let me tell you how I did it - and let me help you do it, too.

What Mothers Say Before They Start...

"I feel like my mind turned on me since becoming a mom."

You're experiencing intrusive thoughts, constant anxiety, and feeling like you can’t trust yourself anymore. This battle with your thoughts and feelings is making a hard thing - new motherhood - feel even harder.
