I interviewed Suzanne Falter today, and I just have to say this is the second try because the first time Suzanne and I did our

interview, we had a technical malfunction and the whole thing did not get recorded, which was

really upsetting, especially because Suzanne lost her daughter at age 22, and it was a very emotional

interview. So I re-interviewed her, and that's what you'll hear now. But in case I sounded

in any way flippant about anything she told me, we had gone through sort of a both-crying

situation the last time. So obviously, I do care, and I hope I sounded that way, but just

wanted to preface it with that sort of background. Anyway, here's her bio.

Suzanne Fulter is an author, speaker, novelist, and host of The Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women Podcast. Her nonfiction books include The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self Care, The Joy of Letting Go, How Much Can You Stand, and Surrendering to Joy? After losing her 22-year-old daughter daughter Teal in 2012, Suzanne's work shifted to help

her find the way back to joy, peace, and balance. She has written LGBT fiction, including the series

transformed and Oaktown Girls. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street

Journal, self, fitness, and other publications. She currently lives in the San Francisco

Bay Area with her wife.

Welcome, Suzanne. Thanks for coming on moms and have time to read books.

Hello, Zubi, and thank you for having me very, very much.
