Susan Wilking Horan

Welcome Everyone! I’m Susan.

I’m SO happy you’ve found me. I’m a lawyer, educator, businesswoman, survivor, and motivator!
After surviving 3 DIFFERENT CANCERS, it became clear to me that because of my experiences,
I now possess vital information that I am compelled to share with others.

I had heard it all: I was “too young for cancer” and a healthy, athletic, slim, non-smoking vegetarian when I was first diagnosed 20 years ago with colon cancer. During the next decade, while recuperating not only from the cancer but from the chemotherapy and radiation as well, I also developed skin cancer. And to top it all off, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008. I was not prepared for my first cancer, I was better prepared for my second and I was firmly prepared for my third. Because, I did my homework. I studied. I researched. I know what it takes to survive. And, the full benefit of my knowledge lies within the tools of this website.

Personally and professionally, I have taken many wrong turns and I have jumped through every hoop. And because I’ve already experienced the problems and confusion — my hope is that you don’t have to. I’ve learned the lessons necessary for survival — and I am here to share them with you. I am a WELLNESS ADVOCATE. A WARRIOR. I know how to FIGHT. I have combined 20 YEARS of cancer experience with my background in PSYCHOLOGY and my skills as an ATTORNEY to become a BEST-SELLING AUTHOR. I write for YOU in the hope that YOU will learn from my mistakes and benefit from my knowledge.

Join me on my journey to overall health and wellness, won’t you?

FOLLOWING OUR HEARTS WITH BETTY BOOP & FRIENDS

WELCOME TO HEART HEALTH MONTH Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog. It's February when our thoughts gravitate to matters of the heart, including valentines, love and romance. Yet, February also is American Heart Health Month, so as we focus on the happiness of our hearts this month, we also need to focus on the health of our hearts. In fact, for 60 years now the American Heart Association has strived to bring the issue of heart health to everyone, and especially to women everywhere. You see, heart disease is the number one health risk for women. It’s more lethal than all women’s cancers put together, including breast, uterine and ovarian cancer. Indeed, while 1 in 13 women will die of breast cancer, 1 in every 3 will die of cardiovascular disease. And more than ninety percent of women have at least one risk factor for developing heart disease. For these reasons, Heart … [Read More...]

Betty Boop’s Guide to a Bold and Balanced Life

Fun, Fierce, Fabulous Advice Inspired by the Animated Icon

As many of you know, I also work with my husband, Mark Fleischer, at our family-owned company, Fleischer Studios. We own and merchandise several cartoon characters that were created by Mark’s grandfather, the celebrated animator Max Fleischer. And one of those characters is our beloved Betty Boop.

I just LOVED writing this book! Working with my co-author, Kristi Ling Spencer (who is also our Director of Publicity of Fleischer Studios) was a blast. We took several important life lessons from Betty’s old cartoons and wrote about them in our book, including chapters on Independence, Love, Courage, Respect and Health – all those good things that we all need right now.
