Meet Suzanne
Entrepreneur, brain tumor survivor,
journalist, and inspirational speaker
Suzanne Spencer took countless calls and story ideas over a decade working as a tv news reporter and anchor. When her phone rang in 2021, the news was delivered to her – that she had a brain tumor – and it changed the trajectory of her life. Suzanne is now a two-time brain surgery survivor, inspirational speaker, and storyteller who pivoted to create her own business, Suzanne Speaks, with a core mission to guide audiences through challenges. Suzanne lives in Milwaukee with her husband Paul, daughter Jane, and dog Wally.
