In this episode of The Joy Work Show, Diane sits down with Suzy Stanton, an SEO copywriter whose story is equal parts courage, clarity, and reinvention.

Suzy shares her journey from a career in law, stable, respected, and deeply misaligned, to building a life filled with freedom, creativity, and presence for her adopted children.
This isn’t just a story about switching jobs. It’s a story about switching beliefs, switching paths, and trusting that your own definition of success is valid.

Together, they explore:
✨ The moment Suzy knew she needed a different life
💛 How motherhood changed her perspective on work
🔥 The realities of leaving a “safe” career
✍️ What SEO really looks like for small business owners
🌱 Why freedom and choice matter more than prestige
🎧 And how joy can show up the moment you give yourself permission to choose differently

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re allowed to rewrite your life, Suzy’s story is your reminder that you can.
