for the mothers
You love your kids deeply — yet motherhood can feel so heavy.
You feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted.
This is not how you imagined parenting would feel.
Maybe you’re exhausted from walking on eggshells around your teen’s moods.
Maybe you replay your conversations at night.
You’re trying to hold everyone together while quietly feeling emotionally drained yourself.
The hardest part? Thinking you’re messing up your kids.
Did I handle that wrong?
What if I’m not doing enough?
Am I parenting in the right way?
Why does everything feel so hard?
Am I messing this up?
No one told us about this part of motherhood
The pressure.
The guilt.
The overthinking.
The constant emotional vigilance.
The feeling that you have to keep everyone okay
What most parents miss:
TEENS NEED TO BE PARENTED DIFFERENTLY
What worked when they were little isn’t what teens and young adults need now.
If we keep parenting in the way we did when they were younger, our houses are going to have more conflict and less connection.
When we parent without knowing the parenting strategies I teach, our kids can be more anxious, less resilient, and lack the confidence they need in adulthood.
But moms are trying so hard, right?!
The disconnect is parents aren’t taught the simple shifts that help create more connection, calmer communication, healthier boundaries, and a more peaceful home.
That’s where I come in.
I help midlife moms parent with calm, confidence, and emotional steadiness.
together, we work on
Responding instead of reacting
Communicating in ways that strengthen connection
Letting go of over-responsibility
Calming anxiety and mental spiraling
Setting healthier boundaries without guilt
Creating more lightness, joy, and ease at home
I help women go from spending most of their days feeling stressed, overwhelmed and sometimes happy…
To spending their days mostly happy, emotionally stable and sometimes stressed.

These years of your life are too precious to spend constantly overwhelmed.
Meet Susie
I’ve sat where you’re sitting.
I’m Susie Pettit, a certified life and parenting coach, mom of 5 sons, and a woman who understands firsthand how easy it is to lose yourself in the midst of motherhood, marriage, divorce, and caring for everyone else
For years, I lived exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly focused on everyone else’s needs while quietly losing myself in the process. Now, after more than 20 years coaching women, I help moms stop second-guessing themselves, navigate parenting teens and young adults with more confidence, and create lives that feel lighter, calmer, and more joyful.
Because motherhood shouldn’t require losing yourself to do it well.

TESTIMONIALS
Client Successes + Praise
I have had therapists, and various counselors and healers in my life for 33 years. I have never benefited as much from my time and work with any of them, as I have with Susie Pettit. I have shared more of my true self with her than I have with anyone, learned so much about the brain and human nature, and grown in a healthy, positive way. It’s really hard to change, and break habits, and keep hope. But I have Susie in my head supporting me and gently reminding me. Coaching with Susie is a profound, priceless experience.
Susie is a truly remarkable human being. She has a wisdom about how to navigate life’s ups and downs that is truly unique. Her personal story is inspiring, and she is living proof that you can overcome any adverse circumstances and she spends her life helping others do the same. She has a joy and optimism that is contagious.
I highly recommend Susie as a coach, you will gain valuable insight on how your brain works, and understand how to navigate your own path with her guidance.
My experience with Susie has been life changing. Susie has helped me work through some really hard stuff. Now I know how to better navigate things when they come up. Even more importantly, I know myself better and feel much better about myself and my ability to handle things.
I don’t worry so much about what may happen nor do I worry about what I would do. She’s helped me feel more confident and to know I’d be able to figure it out. I feel so differently and am so grateful. Thank you so, so much. “
Susie is an amazing life coach. She meets you where you are, shares genuine empathy, and helps you work on your personal goals. Working with Susie is a like receiving a warm hug. While she is not afraid to question or push you when needed, the way she does so never feels harsh. I feel like she gets me and helps me to be my best self. She’s also a lifelong learner – curious and open to new approaches. I love that.
I’ve been working independently with Susie Petit for 3 years (and listening to her amazing Podcast) and I can definitely see some big changes in my life for the better. I could write pages on how Susie has helped me! From minding my mindset, less over-functioning, setting and achieving big goals, improving my relationships and even helping make big decisions about my business and how I manage my staff. I feel reassured knowing that when I have big (and small) challenges in my life, I have the tools and the confidence to work through things on my own, using the tools that we have practiced together. The work we have done has helped me be my best, self-loving human and I can honestly say I feel more joy and more love in my life. Susie is an empathetic listener, kind, generous, funny, and a passionate teacher and human. I encourage you to give coaching a try, either one-on-one or through the group coaching at the Love Your Life School. It will be one of the best things you’ve ever done for yourself to lead a more happy and intentional life. You are worthy to give this gift to yourself!
Susie is amazing! She has such a wealth of knowledge and tools that she shares with her clients to help us understand how our minds work and what we can do to shape our lives into ones that we love living.
She also helped me to set (and achieve) some big work and relationship goals. I never thought these changes were possible for me.
My daughters lives will be forever different because of your knowledge and expertise. My life is so different to what I thought it would be (in a brilliant way) and I was always very self aware. But your coaching helped me consider things differently to the way I was brought up so that now I’m changing family patterns and behaviors.
I found Susie 6 months before a major life change; she kept me grounded, positive, and focused. I needed a reliable routine, but also someone who would push me to work harder than I’d worked before. Susie did it all. Susie was a continual positive presence regardless of the stress and pressure of the job change, family commitments, and travel. Thanks, Susie!
Susie is the reason my life turned upside down… well now I’ve realized it was upside down before… now thanks to Susie it’s finally right side up and brilliant! I couldn’t have done it without her- I would still be woefully stuck in analysis paralysis.
If you want lasting life change and extreme JOY- it starts here 🧡
I am so deeply grateful for her podcasts, 1:1 coaching, weekly women’s group, incredible knowledge from both personal experience and researched science, her energy, dedication, generosity, care and concern, her spirituality, humor, memory and intuitive connections, her gentle (& not so) pushes, and all those amazing creative habit and memory tools! Divorce, marriage, midlife dating, parenting teens, empty nest, anxiety, ADHD as a mom, menopause, perimenopause, you name it. Susie will help you!
I can’t say enough about the impact Susie has had on my life. During one of the hardest seasons she gave me the support, clarity, and strength I didn’t know I had. She helped me grow, rebuild, and truly find myself again after divorce from a long marriage. I’m not exaggerating when I say she helped me save myself. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to guide you forward, I highly recommend her. Five stars all the way.
I can hardly express with words the positive impact working with Susie Pettit has made on my life. I originally started working with her for help dealing with grief. It turns out we not only worked on dealing with that great loss but lots of other things that made massive differences in my life! From changing small habits that had a big impact on my weight to bigger changes that improved my relationships with my husband, my teens and young adult kids, and friends. Lastly, she helped me with health, wellness, menopause, and nutrition by keeping me informed of developments in science and medicine that have been game changers at this stage in my life. I can’t say enough about how effective my time with Susie Pettit has been.
I always look forward to coaching sessions and listening to the Love Your Life Show podcasts. Her topics and guest speakers help me in my relationships and how I manage my thoughts. Susie’s energy and passion for mindfulness and self-care are contagious and I consistently find myself repeating her words and gracious guidance. Susie makes me feel more confident in my mind and body and therefore my life and relationships have become better. I am a warrior and looking forward to “humaning” more with Susie!
I have only just started working with Susie in the Love Your Life School a couple of months ago and already I am starting to notice a shift. I am getting up in the mornings and really looking forward to the day!! (Most mornings anyway). Putting in place a lot of small changes are starting to make a difference. Being able to tune in to get the coaching each week is great and it makes it seem so personal and doesn’t break the budget!!!
I can’t recommend Susie highly enough. The support, tools, and guidance provided are genuinely life-changing. You can tell there’s a real depth of experience behind everything. it’s not just surface-level advice, it actually helps you understand yourself and make lasting changes.
Susie’s style is incredibly approachable and practical, and the content (especially the podcast and programs) is packed with real value. It feels like you’re being guided by someone who truly cares and understands what you’re going through.
If you’re looking to improve your mindset, relationships, or overall wellbeing, The Love Your Life School and coaching with Susie Pettit is 100% worth it.
More important than the 20 pounds I’ve lost since starting with SMB, is my improved relationship with exercise + feelings about my body! Life coaching with Susie helps with all aspects of life!
I love having a coach who also has a podcast where I can listen and learn in between sessions. Your episodes always have great information but I’m writing because this one surprised me. I thought I knew the subject matter, but once again you found a way to make it relevant for anyone. So much useful guidance I will share with my son who is heading off to a new city/new college this fall! Truly invaluable! How do you manage this always, Susie? What would I do without you?
As someone who has been pretty happy most of my life, I am constantly surprised by how much coaching with Susie Pettit in the Love Your Life School and listening to the Love Your Life Show podcast help me. Her insights and advice are so easy to follow and have truly made me a happier, more fulfilled woman and mom. I’ve said goodbye to guilt, resentments, and all those negative thoughts I didn’t even know I was having. Working with Susie is a great choice for women who want to maximize their daily contentment.
Without your wisdom, I’d be so miserable and misunderstood. I only wish I had started working with you sooner. Meeting with you has changed my life.
Susie’s guidance and wisdom helped me to overcome a lifelong battle with an eating disorder. Since working with Susie three years ago, I have been living in recovery and have a healthy relationship with food and my body.
You are a spitball full of Fantabulous Soul Bursting Sunshine!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE listening to you!!! Keep doing YOU and sharing your amazing motivation with us warriors!! I can’t thank you enough for your inspiring podcasts and coaching Susie….keep rocking on with your beautiful self
Susie’s sunny disposition is unwavering and contagious: from our sessions together to her upbeat texts she’ll send reminding me of how to “stay well” (basically stay sane.) Highly recommend for anyone needing some solid centering.
Susie is one of the most positive people I’ve ever known! She inspires me constantly to believe in myself and to take the time to take care of myself. Susie has taught me so much and I’m grateful to know her!!!
