In this highly energtic episode of Not a Great Whisperer, Katy Rey sits down with the unstoppable force that is Susan Guidi. Susan is a true renaissance woman – a comedian and improviser who brings laughter to the stage, a pioneering sonographer who broke new ground in medical imaging, a dynamic business owner, a fierce bodybuilding champion, and an inspiring motivational speaker. Her life is a testament to the belief that age is just a number, and her story is guaranteed to captivate and motivate anyone who listens.
Susan’s story is nothing short of inspirational. From rocking the comedy stage to lifting weights in the gym, she’s embraced every challenge with enthusiasm and determination. The pandemic might have slowed some people down, but for Susan, it was a wake-up call that led her to new heights.
Katy and Susan dive deep into what it means to redefine aging. Susan, on a 1000-day journey to her 70th birthday, is showing the world that life’s staircase keeps climbing. She talks about her adventures in improv and comedy and how they’ve fueled her passion for living authentically and unapologetically.
But Susan’s journey doesn’t stop at comedy and bodybuilding. Her medical background as a sonographer is groundbreaking. At a time when ultrasound technology was still gaining acceptance, Susan was already mastering it. She recalls the early days of her career when she was performing sonograms before many doctors even recognized their value. Her trailblazing efforts in ultrasound technology not only paved the way for better patient care but also broke barriers for women, especially Latina women, in healthcare.
Susan’s pursuit of knowledge is unending. Always on the quest to learn new things, she’s currently almost 70 and going back to school at Northwestern University. Her dedication to education and self-improvement is a testament to her belief that it’s never too late to start something new.
In a heartfelt conversation, Susan opens up about her decision to get breast implants and the empowering choice to remove them. Her honesty about self-worth and making decisions for herself is both relatable and inspiring.
But that’s not all – Susan’s current project is a testament to her innovative spirit. She’s bringing improv comedy into healthcare to improve communication and patient care, proving once again that she’s always thinking outside the box.
Amidst all the wisdom and inspiration, Katy and Susan also manage to get hilariously sidetracked talking about vaginas, adding a dose of humor and realness to the mix.
This episode is filled with laughter, wisdom, and raw honesty. Susan Guidi’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to chase your dreams, embrace new challenges, and make a lasting impact. Tune in to be inspired by Susan’s incredible journey and her vibrant approach to life.
