What is
Compassionately Liberated?

How it all began...

Susan Yuen was born and raised in a suburb of Atlanta.   After attending graduate school in Colorado, she relocated to California. What began as a temporary move, turned into 22 years.  Now, California is where she calls home. 

​

Susan grew up in a highly controlled religious environment where her voice and choices were often suppressed, leaving deep and lasting impacts. Through her own journey of healing and deconstructing the beliefs she was raised with, Susan discovered a life beyond oppression. She embraced the freedom of empowered choices, the strength to set firm boundaries, and the relief of shedding people-pleasing and self-sabotaging shame avoidant behaviors.

​

Having walked this path herself, Susan is deeply passionate about helping others experience the same transformation. She understands the toll of religious trauma and is dedicated to guiding others toward healing, self-empowerment, and lasting resilience.​  

​

Compassionately Liberated was born from this passion—to offer a pathway for those seeking to heal, grow, thrive, and move forward from the effects of religious trauma.
