Sow in Tears Reap in Joy: A Transformational Memoir

September 6, 2022 | Featured Book

A Transformational Memoir by Dr Susie Mierzwik
What do you do when the life you worked so hard to build falls apart?
In Sow in Tears, Reap in Joy, I share the painful seasons that taught me how to find my voice, hold on to my faith, and begin again. For years, I believed I had to be strong by staying silent. Divorce, family wounds, and grief challenged that belief—and led me toward a different kind of strength.
This is my story of learning that healing does not erase what happened. It gives us the courage to face it, grow through it, and make room for joy again.
If you have ever wondered whether a new chapter is possible after heartbreak, I wrote this book for you. Your tears are part of your story. They do not have to be the end of it.

Collective Wisdom: The Power of Networking: New Edition

April 5, 2024 | Anthology

I’ve learned that networking isn’t about how many business cards you collect or how many people you know. It’s about building genuine relationships with intention.

In my chapter, “Networking with Intention,” I share how showing up with curiosity, listening to others, and looking for ways to support one another can open doors you never expected.

I believe every person we meet comes into our lives for a reason. When we stop asking, “What can I get?” and start asking, “How can I connect, help, and make a difference?” something wonderful happens.

That’s when networking becomes more than business—it becomes about relationships, opportunities, and people helping people grow.

This book highlights the importance of networking. Network groups are groups of people who talk and share ideas, information, and resources and in the process, create great business connections. Sometimes walking into a room full of strangers can bring nervousness. Networking usually involves meeting new people who share a profession, industry, or interests, and more importantly it helps to build professional relationships. Networking opens doors to new opportunities and facilitates the exchange of ideas and best practices.

The Impact of One Voice, Volume II: Inspirational Stories of Passion, Purpose, and Perseverance

September 8, 2023 | Anthology

For much of my early life, I learned that children were to be seen and not heard. I became very good at staying quiet—but somewhere inside me, there was always a bold spirit waiting to emerge.

In my chapter, “Do You Have a Bold Spirit?”, I share my journey from silence to finding the courage to speak up, step forward, and finally recognize the power of my own voice. Life’s challenges could have kept me quiet, but instead they helped me discover a stronger, more courageous version of myself.

Today, as an author and speaker, I use the voice I once struggled to find to encourage others to discover theirs.

You don’t have to be fearless to have a bold spirit. You simply have to believe that your voice matters—and have the courage to use it.

Maintain a Solid Mental Health: Rise to Greater Heights

May 24, 2023 | Anthology

I’m honored to open this inspiring collaborative book with Chapter One: “Open Up to Create a New You.”

My chapter begins with a message that has shaped my own journey: real change begins when we are willing to open up. When we stop allowing the past to define our future, we create space to rediscover who we are, what we want, and who we still have the power to become.

In “Open Up to Create a New You,” I share personal insights about moving through life’s challenges, releasing what no longer serves us, and finding the courage to step into a stronger, more confident version of ourselves.

Your past may be part of your story—but it doesn’t have to write your next chapter.

As the author of Chapter One, I invite readers to begin this journey with me: Open up. Look within. Choose possibility. And begin creating the new you that is waiting to emerge.

Mental health is something we all have, which is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own potential, just like physical health. Perceptions of stigma by treatment providers are known to prevent people from seeking care, which leads them not to work productively and fruitfully to make a contribution to her or his own community. All of us in the mental health community need to raise our voices against stigma associated with mental illness, which in turn can help reduce self-stigma someone with a mental illness may feel. Education is important, and it’s good to be aware of useful, factual information regarding mental illness, but there are other things we can do to help reduce stigma associated with mental illness. Every day, in every possible way, we need to stand up to stigma, more importantly, understanding mental illness paves the way for evidence-based therapies and treatment options.

It’s All About Showing Up: The power is in the Asking Volume Two

March 7, 2023 | Anthology

My chapter, “No Matter What Happens, Just Show Up,” tells what happened when the life I thought would last forever suddenly fell apart.

After 24 years of marriage, I found myself facing heartbreak, betrayal, and a future I never imagined. There were days I wanted to disappear from the world.

But I showed up anyway. Broken, I showed up. Afraid, I showed up. Unsure of who I was anymore, I showed up. I kept going to work. My career was my joy and passion. I poured my heart into my students and their budding lives. I showed up for therapy. My heart was broken and lost, I needed support to get back to a new track.

I let go of people who dragged me down. When we are drowning, we can’t carry other people’s baggage. And little by little, showing up became my way back to myself.
I was different now. I was a warrior survivor. I knew God had a future He planned for me , before I was even born. I began writing new chapters of my life which are brighter, more colorful and more dazzling than many of my earlier chapters.

My message is simple: When life breaks your heart, don’t let it take your future. Show up anyway.

Grief Is Not a Deadline: Stories of Love, Loss, and Learning to Say Goodbye is a heartfelt collection of real stories from courageous individuals who share their journeys through loss, love, resilience, and hope. Each chapter is a reminder that healing looks different for everyone—and that no one should ever feel pressured to “move on” before they are ready.

June 14, 2022 | Anthology

In one instant, everything can change. In my deeply personal chapter in Love Your Haters, “Smack, He Hit Me?”, I pull back the curtain on a painful moment that left me shocked, hurt, and questioning the life I thought I knew.

But this is not simply a story about what happened to me. It is a story about what I chose to do next.

I share the journey from hurt to healing, from silence to finding my voice, and from feeling powerless to discovering a strength within myself I didn’t know I had.

My chapter speaks to anyone who has ever been blindsided by someone they trusted, knocked down by circumstances they never expected, or wondered, “How do I get myself back after this?”

The message of “Smack, He Hit Me?” is one I now carry into my writing and speaking:
What happened to you may be part of your story—but it does not get to write your ending.

You can rise. You can reclaim your voice. And you can become stronger than the chapter that tried to break you.

May 31, 2021 | Anthology

There were times in my life when I felt completely alone—when heartbreak, betrayal, loss, and uncertainty left me wondering how I would ever find my way forward.

In “My Faith Journey,” I share what happened when I stopped relying only on my own strength and learned to lean into something greater: my faith in God. I didn’t always understand where He was leading me, but I kept walking.
