The Power and Shame of Food | Susie MacLean | TEDxABQWomen

Susie MacLean has spent the past 25 years motivating and inspiring others to find their own passion for health and well-being. This was not an accidental career. It was the path she chose to help redirect her addiction from self-destruction to growth and empowerment. Her journey began as a teenager struggling to find a way to fit in. With the typical challenges of a teenage girl coupled with middle child and sibling issues she turned to food to cope. The feelings of shame and guilt were debilitating. Through self-discovery and a career path that allowed her to share her knowledge with others, she found a way out of the nightmare of an eating disorder.
Susie MacLean, M.S., is the Executive Director of Health and Wellness for Presbyterian Healthcare Services. Prior to joining Presbyterian, Susan was President and CEO of The Solutions Group, a wellness and employee assistance program company she co-founded in 1999. Passionate about health and wellness, Susan prides herself on both her personal and professional commitment to living and supporting a balanced lifestyle.
