She enjoys her 2 dogs, flower gardening in her yard and patio, and feeding lots of birds and “critters” that are lured to her yard by the ridiculous amount of food and water she serves them. In years gone by, Susan has written Sunday School curriculum for preschoolers and their teachers; volunteered as a “counselor” at the local crisis pregnancy center; homeschooled her 2 daughters through elementary school; been a pastor’s wife; directed a team as a skin care, makeup and image consultant for 25 years; and now shares a ministry with her husband to mentor couples and individuals struggling with sex/pornography addiction and the betrayal trauma it brings.After 37 years of marriage, Susan discovered her husband was a pornography addict. After many tears of brokenness, some bouts of anger, a million questions and a few expletives, Susan and Kenny began to lean on God to mend themselves and their marriage. A few years into their mending, God called them to be mentors for other couples and individuals going through the same crisis. They became mentors through Bravehearts ministry and a few years later completed training with AASAT in Sex Addiction, Partners’ Betrayal Trauma, Partners’ Recovery, and Intimacy Anorexia.Susan brings passion for helping other women find their voice as they navigate this wound into the pages of Triage, as well as honesty and vulnerability sprinkled with a bit of humor when possible. She says that a balance of knowledge about this addiction and a strong dependence on God is essential for surviving this crisis and coming out better on the other side. Find their ministry website at www.MendedMentors.com and email to mendedmentors@gmail.com. They are available for one-on-one mentoring and support groups, speaking engagements, and marriage retreats.ver menos
