A little bit about Suzanne:

Suzanne Frear is a creative copywriter working with passionate small businesses. Helping makers, bakers, and motivators shine on the internet and connect with their audience.

“A little over 2 years ago I quit drinking, now this isn’t a rehab story, this is a freedom tale. Because losing the booze helped me to find myself. Zero bullshit. Just a year ago I quit my highly paid, corporate finance job, and set up my own business just as I had always dreamed of doing, and whilst it has been solid work and hard graft, I have honestly never looked back. Because drinking made me lazy and my world small, and I’m now discovering all the ways to live a far bigger life.

I do what I love, day in-day out, I meet new people and I am constantly learning. I am daily growing in confidence, getting published in magazines as well as working with some epic businesses that are looking to change the status quo. I get to speak on podcasts and instagram lives about my amazing business and how great copy could change your life! And, I am redefining where I find the joy in my life, because I have realised that my whole life pretty much centered on drinking.

I’ve found that my joy is not in that big promotion, getting a big house with a manicured lawn, though hey, those things are great. But I’m getting my happiness high from screaming out loud when I win a game of UNO, sprinting across the garden in my be-socked feet just because my 8 year old thinks I’ll never beat him, I’m getting tattoos in my 40’s purely because I damn well want to and I’m open water swimming with amazing friends, for the tranquility, the peace and the privilege of just being alive. I’m designing my own life, and loving every second. And that started with the bad-ass decision to quit drinking. The biggest act of rebellion against societal norms I can think of.”
