Susie Reynolds Reece

Susie Reynolds Reece is an inspirational speaker, resiliency coach, suicide prevention strategist, and consultant for health care, first responders, military, law enforcement, educational institutions, and others. Using levity to lighten the weight of serious topics, she demonstrates how to address, diffuse, and navigate difficult topics that are essential to mental health and well-being, particularly during challenging times.

Reece is a prolific published author with a robust collection of more than 10 training-focused books (including Safe Story Telling), with several more books in progress.

As founder and CEO of Speak Fearlessly Always, a consulting and social issues awareness organization, Reece appreciates the crucial need for mental health resiliency awareness on a professional level and also understands it personally. Reece has dealt with major depression stemming from multiple traumas suffered during her early childhood, including the loss of her father to suicide when she was ten years old.

Reece’s lived experience inspires others to overcome the fear that deters most from expressing their truth. Her life’s work is to inspire others to safely engage in the healing process that occurs when they share the challenging stories of their lives, leading to strengthened mental health resilience.

Reece’s forthcoming book, Speaking of Intent (2022), chronicles her unexpected life path from loss and depression to prevention training and public speaking.
