Suzanne’s Story
Suzanne Shaw is a singer, actress, motivational speaker, trainer and life coach.
Suzanne began her career in the entertainment industry from a young age. Her big break came at 19 when she was selected as a member of the pop band Hear’say. From there, Suzanne built a successful career in theatre and television. She performed in many West End and touring musicals and plays, and became a series regular as Eve Jenson in Emmerdale. She won Dancing on Ice in 2008 and has made appearances as a presenter on Loose Women, This Morning and Lorraine. In 2020 Suzanne decided to take time out of the entertainment industry to focus on her wellbeing.
After years of burning the candle at both ends, enduring an intense public career and being under the scrutiny of the British press, in 2020 Suzanne made it her mission to prioritise her wellness for the sake of her mental health. Struggling with an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, yo-yo dieting and an inconsistent workout regime, Suzanne knew the only way to help her anxiety and depression was to embrace a healthier lifestyle.
Instead of focusing on how to find happiness through quick fixes, Suzanne decided to dedicate her time to truly nurturing her wellbeing and treating her mind, body and soul with the love and respect it deserves - This started with removing alcohol from her life, adopting a plant-based whole foods diet and regularly exercising.
With this new way of living, Suzanne experienced a renewed sense of energy, confidence and self-worth. She began to documenting her journey online which attracted thousands to her social media platforms. Her lifestyle changes led to exciting adventures, such as running marathons and ultra marathons for charity, openly discussing her mental health and ADHD diagnosis on TV, podcasts and in magazines along with training to become a life coach. Suzanne is an ICF accredited coach and has also taken courses in mindful nutrition, public speaking and training and first aid.
Over the past few years, Suzanne has launched a career in motivational speaking and building a cherished community through her events and monthly membership.
Since then, Suzanne has helped thousands on their own wellness mission, helping them change their relationship with alcohol, overcoming limiting beliefs and stepping out of their comfort zones to lead happier, healthier lives.
