‘Women learn that they’re not alone’

ENABLING WOMEN TO THRIVE

Susie Mackie, 61, is founder of Women of spirit, a community that aims to support women who want to make their world a better place. susie says: ‘Women of Spirit was born following my discovery that my husband was having an affair. I worked my way back from this and I decided to help other women to get to that stage as quickly as possible. We have an online community and I put on workshops and retreats where women can come together. They learn that they’re not alone and that it is possible to flourish.’

Sharron Lowe, who nominated Susie, says: ‘Susie uses her own story of overcoming difficult challenges in her life to enable others to do the same, helping them not just to survive, but to thrive.’
