A Little More Susan…

A few things you should probably know about me:

My happy place is the beach — and specifically, the Jersey Shore. There is nothing a long walk on the beach looking for shells can’t at least partly fix. Morning coffee with coffee cake flavored oat milk creamer is a non-negotiable for me, and I love Peanut Butter Ripple and Moose Tracks ice cream.

I believe business should support your life, not consume it. That’s not just a tagline — it’s the thing I come back to over and over again when I’m tempted to overcommit, over-hustle, or say yes when I should say no.

And I believe deeply that God didn’t wire us to do all of this alone. Community matters. Relationships matter. Showing up for each other — in faith, in business, in life — that’s the whole thing.

If any of that resonates with you, I think we’re going to get along just fine.

My Mission

My purpose is to use my time and opportunities to build genuine relationships through which my faith can shine.

That purpose is the thread running through everything I do — whether I’m walking the beach at sunrise, sitting across the table from a fellow direct seller who’s ready to give up, or sharing a clean-ingredient product I genuinely believe in.

I believe relationships matter more than transactions. I believe business can be built with integrity, faith can be lived out loud (without being pushy about it), and “success” looks a lot more like showing up consistently for people than chasing a quick win.

That’s why you’ll find me in a few different places, all rooted in the same purpose:


Lemongrass Spa

Where I share clean, USA-made skincare with people I genuinely care about, because what we put on our bodies matters.

The Everyday Direct Seller

Where I hand other direct sellers and small business owners the trainings, resources, and easy button I wish someone had handed me 15+ years ago.

Faith & Intentional Living

Where I write about the messier, realer parts of trying to live with purpose — as a pastor’s wife, a mom, a business owner, and someone still figuring it out one day at a time.

The Other 99% Podcast

Where Lisa Duck and I have honest conversations to help direct sellers and small business owners learn, grow, and remember why they started.
