See that girl up there. That is Susan Petersen. I first heard about her from a friend that said I HAD to look her up and I HAD to get her on Modern Sewciety. I was intrigued. I looked her up and sure enough I was smitten. Why you ask? Well she has built a small business up to be a super successful company. She was just a normal mom with a dream and passion and she made it happen. She has rocked it in the industry.

I sent her an email that said hey you don’t really know me, or Modern Sewciety I am sure, but will you please be on the podcast. I really wanted to share her story with my listeners, which weren’t that many at the time I asked. I have to admit I wasn’t sure what she would say. She responded right away with a SURE just let me know what you need from me. I was so excited I called my friend and screamed in the phone. Then we both screamed. We love to hear a success. We love to cheer a mom on that is making it happen. The world has enough stories to make us sad, we relish in the good. And Susan has a GREAT story. Susan is someone that you want to cheer on.

We emailed back and forth a lot before we actually talked. She was so sweet. I read something last night on instagram that said from a simple phone conversation she will feel like your best friend. I totally agree with that. She is so humble and sweet and also, most importantly, she makes you feel like you are the only thing she has to do at that moment. I love people that stay in a moment and aren’t on the phone while you are talking to them or doing something. I know she was busy but she took the time to talk to me. Really talk to me. I love that.

So what does Susan do? What business did she build up?

I could not be happier for her. What a warrior fighting for something she was passionate about. I don’t think she was leaving without a deal. She had a great presence on tv too.
