Kicking off the Authors Healing Journey Series is Author #1 is Susan Purvis. Susan wrote Chapter 21 “Wilderness Medicine: Abdominal Pain: Serious or Not?”. She gets totally grounded from being outside, trained her dog to help save lives in the Colorado mountains, is a writer and is also pretty damn entertaining! Our talk includes how Susan dove so far under the covers after one of her emotional shit-kickings that she thought she was going to die; what the Universe offered her to make her finally get out of bed; and how it took 5 sets of hands to get her pooping again. Check out her book “Go Find: My Journey to Find the Lost – And Myself” at susanpurvis.com. Like all her writing, it’s about finding and using her own voice.
