In this heart-opening episode of Soul Sparks with Saima, author and spiritual teacher Susan Michel shares her powerful journey from the depths of suicidal despair to living a life illuminated by inner peace and joy. A two-time suicide survivor, Susan’s story is anchored in vulnerability, the power of forgiveness, and spiritual healing through A Course in Miracles. She walks us through her darkest hours, the emotional scars of childhood abandonment, and the moment of divine clarity that redirected her path. This is a raw, real, and radically loving conversation about how true joy is not found outside of us, but within.
About the Guest: Susan Michel is the author of Surrender to Joy: From Suicide to Serenity, a spiritual guide rooted in A Course in Miracles, mindfulness, and the transformational power of forgiveness.
