The Legacy I’m Living: Suzanne Daniels On Being Present, Not Just Prepared

Friday Jul 11, 2025

In this episode of This Woman Can, host Janice Sutherland welcomes Suzanne Daniels, an international attorney and founder of the Resting Peace Now framework.

With over 30 years of experience, Suzanne shares her inspiring journey from apartheid South Africa to Los Angeles, where she has dedicated her life to empowering women professionals and business owners to secure their legacies while living boldly.

Suzanne opens up about the challenges she faced as a black woman in a male-dominated industry, her transition from corporate lawyer to entrepreneur, and the life-altering moments that shaped her perspective on success and fulfillment.

Together, Janice and Suzanne discuss the importance of authenticity, the myths surrounding aging, and the necessity of prioritizing oneself while caring for others.

Discover how Suzanne's personal experiences, including the loss of her partner and the challenges of raising a blind daughter, have fueled her passion for helping women navigate their own journeys.

You’ll learn about her Resting Peace Now framework and how it encourages women to focus on living their best lives today, rather than solely preparing for the future.
