EP 53: Could You Use A Conversation With Your Mother?

What does it take to rebuild your life more than once and still choose love every time? In this episode, Melissa sits down with her mom, Suzie, a bilingual trailblazer, retreat builder, and realtor who treats homes like havens and clients like family. Together they trace the story of their family from Quebec to Vancouver to Arizona and reflect on the moments that shaped resilience, faith, and the courage to begin again.Suzie shares what it was like to arrive in a new country, learn English from scratch, and find creative ways to build opportunity without a safety net. She talks about creating a lakeside retreat where guests come to rest and reconnect, and how that same heart now guides her real estate work, helping families release the past and step into new seasons with clarity and peace.The conversation moves through grief, forgiveness, and the small daily practices that keep life grounded. Melissa and Suzie reflect on prayer, gratitude, intention, and the quiet ways love shows up in everyday moments. If you are navigating change, loss, or a new beginning, this episode offers perspective, warmth, and a reminder that home is something you carry within you.✨ About the Host & Ways to Work TogetherMelissa-Sue Methven hosts Not Alone with Melissa-Sue Methven, and is an author, speaker, and breathwork facilitator guiding emotional, nervous-system, and spiritual healing.
