What do you do when life delivers news that changes everything— and all you can see is a faint glimmer of hope?

Join us on January 16 as Suzanne Spencer shares her remarkable journey from broadcast journalist to brain surgery survivor to inspirational speaker and founder of Suzanne Speaks. When Suzanne received her brain tumor diagnosis in 2021, she faced an impossible question: “now what?” In that moment, hope felt like the faintest glimmer — but she learned that sometimes, that tiny spark is exactly what we need to find our way forward.

Suzanne Spencer is a two-time brain surgery survivor, inspirational speaker, and storyteller who helps audiences navigate uncertainty when the script changes. Through her Milwaukee-based business, Suzanne Speaks, she shares a practical, hope-centered framework that combines her decade of working as a tv news anchor with the lessons she learned through brain surgery. Through her resilience playbook, Suzanne empowers people to reframe challenges, listen to their inner voice, and lean into the power of community — even in life’s most difficult moments.

Come ready to be moved. Leave with your own glimmer burning brighter.
