Hi, I’m Susan
Two years ago, I launched The Stress-Free CEO to help change the way women approach entrepreneurship. As an entreprenuer, I’ve watched for years as brilliant women struggle to build businesses in systems that weren’t built for them. They are overworked, under-supported, and often unsure of their next step. To address this, finding support for women starting their own business is crucial. And that is where I thought I could help.

With over 40 years of experience as a small business owner, a Juris Doctorate, and a decade spent researching, writing, and advising leaders, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what leads to burnout. My background combines legal strategy, business planning, and a deep commitment to helping women succeed without sacrificing their values or peace of mind.
