Description
This narration follows Susan Fowler’s journey from growing up in a low-income family in Arizona to carving out a life through education, persistence, and self-trust. Along the way, she faces setbacks that would have stopped many people—loss, depression, institutional retaliation, unfair pay, discrimination, and workplace harassment.
Through each chapter, the focus stays on what helped her keep moving: learning what she needed to learn, asking for fair treatment, leaving environments that harmed her, finding support, and finally speaking publicly when private systems refused to protect people. It’s a story about resilience, but also about ethics—how workplaces should treat human beings, and what it can look like when someone decides they won’t quietly accept injustice.
Who Should Listen
- People navigating unfair workplaces who need steady encouragement, practical perspective, and permission to protect their wellbeing.
- Listeners who believe in dignity at work and want to understand how retaliation and toxic culture can function—and how change can still happen.
- Anyone rebuilding confidence after setbacks, and looking for a gentle reminder that small, consistent steps can reopen possibilities.
