Susan the Sage
A lifetime of curiosity. Many paths, and one thread I've always followed: bringing people together. Today it runs through conversations, gatherings and experiences that invite us to live more aligned.
My work today
I create the space. You discover what connects.
People tell me they feel seen in my presence. That matters to me. I want you to feel listened to, welcomed and able to be yourself, whether we're having a conversation, sitting in a circle or exploring something new together.
Presence is part of how I lead. I pay attention to the person in front of me, not just the topic or the plan. Sometimes that means asking a question. Sometimes it means allowing a quiet moment, bringing a little lightness or noticing what hasn't yet been said. Often it starts with calm. When you feel safe, it's easier to breathe, settle and be yourself.
As host of The SageFull Living Podcast, I explore how people put what they've learned into practice. As a moderator and facilitator, I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions and keep the experience flowing without making it feel scripted.
At networking groups, I weave the speaker's themes into guided meditation, sometimes bringing in sound and vibrational tools. It is a moment to pause, return to the body and let the conversation land in a different way.
Through the SageFull Living Master Guide, talks and workshops, I share practices and perspectives that invite curiosity. For women exploring their next chapter, my intention is to create room for honesty, connection and a gentler relationship with themselves.
The Sageuary, my home and gathering space in Miami, brings this work to life through circles, trainings, sound experiences, conversations and events with inspiring people. Some I lead. Others I host and produce. There is more to come.
I'm also exploring collaborations with businesses and concierge medical practices interested in offering wellness experiences to their communities. Meditation, sound, restorative yoga and regression are part of what we can discuss, shaped around the people and the setting.
A spark of curiosity. A moment of connection. A step toward alignment.
Not one career. Many chapters.
I'm Susan Swartz, known as Susan the Sage. I've spent my life asking questions, following what interests me and staying open to what I find. My path has taken me through Boston, Los Angeles, New York and Miami, and around the world beyond them. The cities gave me somewhere to live. What I carried away came from the traveling itself: the people I met, the different ways a life can be arranged, and the habit of noticing.
Those years also moved me through worlds that might seem far apart: Television Production, Marketing, International Diplomacy, Business and Wellness.
Across those chapters, I've brought people together, shaped experiences and made things happen. I understand the preparation behind a conversation, the production behind an event and the care it takes to help a room feel connected.
I've known hardship, reinvention and the responsibility of raising a child who wasn't biologically mine, on my own. Those experiences are part of the understanding I bring, but they aren't the whole story. There is also creativity, adventure, leadership and the joy of discovering what comes next.
Through all of it, I've spent decades exploring spiritual traditions, yoga, meditation, ceremony and the patterns that shape how we live. Some of that learning came from teachers and trainings. Just as much came from living it, and each path has deepened how I show up today.
Why Susan the Sage? The name holds a lifetime of exploring, questioning, listening, feeling and experiencing. Not because I have every answer, but because I keep learning, and I share what I know.
People have always come to me. To share, to be heard, to ask what I think, or to ask where to look next. Sometimes I had a suggestion, a book or a next step to offer. Sometimes I was just the one listening. That's the sage in the name: what I've gathered along the way becomes a place for someone else to begin.
What I learn, I share. What resonates with you becomes your next exploration.
I don't believe everyone needs the same path. Sometimes a conversation, a practice or a new perspective creates a spark. My work is to offer that opening, so you can follow what feels meaningful and begin living more aligned with yourself.
Experience I bring to the room
Professional grounding. Human connection.
Communication & Leadership
My career began in marketing, in food services, then Anderson Consulting and Digitas. Digitas moved me into the creative department and project management, and John Wells Productions brought me into television production. That work carried me through creative projects in Los Angeles and casting in New York, and later marketing and public relations at Shawmut Design and Construction.
International Diplomacy
As Chief of Staff to the Consul General at the British Consulate-General in Miami, my days held official visits, relationships and the details that keep a protocol on track. My experience also includes investor relations and leadership at The Women of Peace, a nonprofit.
Experience Creation & Community
In most of those roles I produced the events: shaping the experience, coordinating the details and making sure the day ran smoothly. I managed studio operations at Green Monkey and curated wellness retreats in Bimini. At The Sageuary, I host trainings, conversations and dinners, produce what the day needs and keep a women's community going on WhatsApp. I have my hands in a lot of it.
