Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Episode #66 Thriver Zone With Susan Omilian

Blossom Your Awesome Podcast Episode #66 Thriver Zone With Susan Omilian 

Susan Omilian is an author, motivational speaker, attorney, and nationally recognized expert has worked to end violence against women for the last forty years. 

In the 1970s, she founded a rape crisis center and, in the early 1980s, represented battered women in divorce proceedings. She also litigated sex discrimination cases, including helping to articulate the legal concept that made sexual harassment illegal in the 1990s. 

She dedicated her life to this work and started the organization Thriver Zone after her  nineteen-year-old niece Maggie had been shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend on a college campus in Michigan.  

Susan’s work as an attorney and advocate for women’s rights became more personal and immediate. 

Vowing to help women who survive abuse as Maggie could not, today twenty years later, Susan’s award-winning work has been described as “life-changing” and as “a component for women recovering from abuse that has been virtually overlooked.” 

 On her own healing journey after the senseless death of her niece, Susan found the work she was born to do and it  comes together here in the THRIVER ZONE — a healing place for women who want to reclaim their lives after abuse.

She has helped hundreds of women take the journey from victim to survivor to thriver as Maggie could not.

Topics We Discuss:

• How to deal with a personal tragedy that is beyond your control.
• How women can survive and thrive after domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse.
• How to connect with the part of you untouched by all that has happened to you and find a life of power and purpose.
• The "Seven Steps to Thriving after Abuse" that I have developed is a motivational model for women who have experienced abuse (domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, child abuse.)
