Description

Is starting a business part of your healing journey? For Suzy Wraines, it absolutely was. In this powerful episode of the Second Act Success Career Podcast, Suzy shares her inspiring story of how she went from a military medic and veterinary technician to a trauma-informed business coach for medical professionals.

Host Shannon Russell talks with Suzy about the emotional toll of transitioning out of healthcare, how unresolved trauma can resurface in entrepreneurship, and why your nervous system plays a surprising role in business success. Suzy also shares how she now empowers nurses, PAs, and therapists to pivot into consulting, coaching, and service-based businesses of their own.

Whether you’re a healthcare provider, military veteran, or creative professional feeling the call for something new, this episode is a must-listen.

  • How trauma can silently affect your ability to grow a business
  • Why entrepreneurship can trigger subconscious fears—and how to work through them
