Susan and Laura welcome you to a space to rest and recover!

In 2009, a catastrophic event shifted my role from a stay-at-home mom to a job seeker focused on securing insurance coverage and helping my three teenage children through college. Confronting my deepest fears, I tapped into inner fortitude, persevered with determination, and emerged stronger.
About 10 years before this, I began a daily gratitude practice. This simple routine unexpectedly gave me the mindset and strength to navigate and overcome the later life-altering event, forming an invaluable foundation for my growth and resilience.
As a Martha Beck Trained Life Coach emerging stronger from adversity, I'm committed to supporting others in similar experiences. Through my work, I aim to empower individuals by providing tools and resources to cultivate resilience and gratitude, helping them navigate challenges with greater ease and confidence

Hello, I am Susan Mae Poulter! I have lived in the United States for over 25 years but was born in Canada. I have been married for 40 years and have three adult children. I am a versatile professional with degrees in Psychology and Public Relations. My unique skill set encompasses copywriting, brand management, digital marketing, and course creation. I publish a digital monthly magazine, Susan Mae, designed to speak to midlife women and empty nesters to inspire others to embrace this new phase of life with wisdom and enthusiasm.
"I have been on a compelling podcast journey crafted for empty nesters. I couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Laura, where we explore various topics, including wellness, relationships, and navigating this transformative chapter in life."

At Conversations Beyond Borders, we don’t talk at midlife women—we sit with them. We create a welcoming space for the seasons that feel tender, messy, and quietly overwhelming, from caregiving and empty nesting to wellness and identity shifts. Our mission is to offer honest conversation, connection, and the kind of support that feels like relief.

Because you’re allowed to be tired and still want a connection.
This space is for midlife women who want a softer place to land—where conversations feel like relief, not another assignment.
Inside you’ll find:
No fixing required.
Just space to breathe and be heard.
