We recently connected with Suzanne Longstreet and have shared our conversation below.
Suzanne, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
As a child, I was vibrant, imaginative, and full of joy. I believed I could do anything. That changed when I was eight years old and learned that life could be painful and unpredictable. In that moment, I decided it was safer to stay quiet and blend in. I became the “good girl,” the helper, the one who made sure everyone else was okay. What I didn’t realize was that I was slowly disappearing.
That pattern followed me into adulthood. It shaped the friendships I chose, the jobs I accepted, and eventually, the man I married. What began as love became control and abuse. I lost my voice, my confidence, and my sense of self. When I finally left that marriage, I thought I was free, but the truth is that his voice lived on in my head. For years, I hid behind my work and convinced myself that being invisible was safe.
Everything changed the day I discovered Neuro Linguistic Programming. NLP showed me that I was not broken and that nothing needed to be fixed. It helped me understand that my mind had simply been running old patterns of fear and self-doubt. Through this work, I learned how to rewrite those patterns, heal my trauma, and rebuild my confidence from the inside out. Within a year, my business and income grew dramatically, but the real transformation was internal. For the first time, I felt truly free.
That freedom became my purpose. Today, I help women reprogram the beliefs that keep them small, hidden, or afraid to shine. I call this work the Invincible Mindset. It is about remembering who you are before the world told you to be quiet, to stay small, or to settle.
My purpose is to guide women to reclaim their worth, rise in their visibility, and step into their full brilliance. Because when women thrive, the world flourishes.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am the founder of Success and Clarity Coaching and the creator of the Quantum YOU Activation™ process. My work includes Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnosis, Mindset Mastery, and Positive Intelligence to help high-achieving women release their hidden blocks and move out of overwhelm.
The work I do is about helping people connect with their true identity so they can become more resilient and tap into their inner power. Together, we integrate the different parts of who they are so they can ignite their full potential. When they gain greater clarity and courage, they step into deeper confidence and naturally begin to make more money.
What makes my work unique is the process I teach, called Quantum YOU Activation™. Most people focus on what they want to have or what they need to do in order to be successful. They work hard, chase goals, and measure their worth by outcomes. Yet lasting success begins with who you are being. Quantum YOU Activation starts there. It begins with identity.
When your sense of self is aligned with the person you are becoming, everything in your life and business starts to shift. The actions you take, the opportunities you attract, and the results you create all flow more easily because they are aligned with your truth. I help my clients begin with BE — who they truly are — then align their actions in the DO, so that their HAVE, the results and rewards they desire, come naturally.
This framework helps women move from fear to freedom, from invisible to invincible. It gives them the tools to release old patterns, integrate their strengths, and operate from a grounded sense of confidence and purpose. Once that inner alignment is in place, success is no longer forced or fleeting. It becomes sustainable, fulfilling, and deeply authentic.
At the heart of all my work is one guiding belief: when you remember who you are, you have greater clarity, act courageously, and increase your confidence.
I explore this philosophy even further in my soon to be released book, The Millionaire Brain: Recode Your Neurology to Create Clarity, Courage, and Confidence, which shows readers how to rewire their minds for greater self-worth, wealth, and well-being. It is both a guide and an invitation to rise into the version of yourself that already knows how to thrive.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Looking back, three qualities have been the most impactful in my journey: self-awareness, resilience, and emotional mastery.
The first and most important is self-awareness. For years, I tried to fix what I thought was wrong with me instead of understanding who I truly was. Everything changed when I began paying attention to my thoughts, patterns, and beliefs. Developing self-awareness is the first step toward freedom because you cannot change what you do not notice. My advice for anyone early in their journey is to begin by observing yourself with curiosity instead of judgment. Notice when you shrink, hesitate, or hide. Awareness opens the door to transformation.
The second quality is resilience. Growth is rarely comfortable, but it is always worth it. Resilience is not about pushing through at all costs. It is about learning how to recover, recalibrate, and rise again with more wisdom. The ability to come back from setbacks with curiosity and compassion has shaped every stage of my life and business. You build resilience by showing up for yourself even when progress feels slow. Small, consistent action creates lasting strength.
The third is emotional mastery, which I teach in my Quantum YOU Activation™ process. Success is not only about what you know, it is about how you manage your inner state when life challenges you. Emotional mastery allows you to stay centered, grounded, and aligned with your purpose, no matter what is happening externally. For those just beginning their journey, I recommend learning tools that help you regulate your nervous system and reframe your inner dialogue. This creates the clarity, courage, and confidence that make all other success possible.
Each of these qualities builds on the others. Self-awareness helps you understand yourself, resilience keeps you moving forward, and emotional mastery ensures that your journey feels grounded and fulfilling. When you strengthen these three areas, you create a powerful foundation for any kind of success—personally, professionally, and financially.
Before we go, maybe you can tell us a bit about your parents and what you feel was the most impactful thing they did for you?
The most impactful influence in my life came from my father. His brilliance, resilience, and unwavering belief in innovation shaped the foundation of who I am today. The stories and wisdom he shared throughout my life have guided me to dream of being an entrepreneur, to embrace my own genius, to stand in my power, and to help others do the same. His legacy is woven into everything I create, including my upcoming book, The Millionaire Brain: Recode Your Neurology to Create Clarity, Courage, and Confidence. Through every word, I hope to pass on even a fraction of the inspiration he gave me.
One afternoon, shortly before he passed away, we were deep in conversation about my business. He listened quietly, nodding and thinking as I spoke. Then he leaned forward and said something I will never forget:
“Set yourself apart, and have people compete with you.”
That simple sentence distilled five decades of his wisdom as a successful multi-million-dollar entrepreneur. My father never followed trends. He set them. He was a quiet innovator in the Canadian film industry, a behind-the-scenes force who built multiple businesses and changed the way optical effects were created. In 1988, he received the honour of Master Cinematographer, recognizing his outstanding contribution to the art of cinematography. He was the only person to ever receive this award without being a cinematographer himself. His life’s work in improving the quality of optical effects through the printing process earned him that distinction.
My father stood out by listening, by innovating, and by owning his genius. He did not wait to be chosen. He made his own path. That day, he reminded me of a truth he had lived:
Do not follow. Lead.
Do not blend in. Stand out.
Do not compete. Be the one they are trying to keep up with.
That was the legacy I inherited. For a time, I forgot my own spark, but his words have become my compass. They continue to guide me in my work and in my mission to help others remember their brilliance and step fully into who they are meant to be.
