It makes my heart happy when people express their appreciation after hearing me speak. I cherish reading the emails, texts, and messages, as each one confirms my mission.
My mission is to empower women to understand their hearts and care for their bodies, especially since Heart Disease is the number one killer of women, taking the lives of one in three.
It’s an honor to answer questions on heart health and self-care. I believe one question asked & answered benefits others who are listening.
Whenever you show your appreciation, please know that I am grateful to each and every one of you. I believe that once you are aware of the symptoms of heart attack in women, you will help spread the word to others. Reach out to me anytime. I love sharing and helping.

"One of my favorite people!! If you don’t know Susan, get to know her! She is a passionate, strong, elegant and special lady, who has a BIG heart which now is dedicated to women taking care of their hearts! Glad I still get to be on this journey with you, my dear!

"Today I finally got to see my heart sister/mentor in person at the Go Red for Women luncheon. When I reached out for support after my heart attack almost 6 months ago it was Susan who got the call! Unfortunately she had just left for Oregon for the summer so I never met her face to face. She has been so instrumental in my recovery. Words can’t express how much her support has meant to me. Needless to say when I met her today I gave her a big hug and cried! Thank you Susan Womer Smith. You are my inspiration! I [heart] you!"

"I saw you in a cardiac commercial for the hospital. I didn’t believe it at first because you look so healthy. I see appearances don’t determine our health. Thank you for talking to me, I’m going to get checked out. You made a difference to me today."

"'46% of women will not go to the ER when they exhibit symptoms of a heart attack.' I loved hearing Susan Womer Smith tell her story of her 'inconvenient heart attack' at the Network of Extraordinary Women because it is so relatable. February is Wear Red for Heart Month and I encourage you to take a moment listen to your body, take care of yourself and #justbe."

"It was very informative to hear Susan Womer Smith's story. I think I would have been just like her - too busy to want to stop and check it out. Glad you did!! Very important topic! We need to listen when our bodies talk to us."

“TOO BUSY - After a delicious sampling of salads and desserts provided by the ladies of Desert Hills Lutheran Church, Susan Smith presented women's heart attack signs and excuses why women do not want to go to the hospital for evaluation. Her personal story included how she was too busy for a heart attack on the day she had hers. Thank you”
