Women's Leadership + Mindset Coach
Specializing in Nervous System Regulation
Helping overwhelmed women leaders replace cortisol-driven leadership with calm, grounded presence.
After 35+ years in leadership, I know what it's like to lead while running on empty...making decisions from stress, managing teams while barely managing myself, and wondering how long I could keep this pace.
I help professional women leaders regulate their nervous systems so they can lead with clarity, make better decisions, and build sustainable success without burning out. Through trauma-informed coaching and somatic practices, you'll learn to lead from a place of calm instead of chaos.
Hey, I'm Susan Roberson.
It's nice to meet you.
I've spent over 35 years in leadership--in areas of ministry, organizational development, and coaching--and I've seen firsthand how talented, capable leaders end up running on fumes.
For years, I led that way myself: making decisions from stress, pushing through exhaustion, and wondering how long I could sustain the pace.
In 2020, my husband Paul and I purchased The Retreat at Canyon Ridge, a former monastery in the Panhandle of Texas, and transformed it into a wellness retreat center.
Over the past six years, I've deepened my training in somatic practices and nervous system regulation, becoming a certified SomatIQ Breathwork Practitioner and Certified Transformational Mindset Facilitator.
I realized that most leadership development focuses on strategy and skills, but ignores the body's stress response—the very thing that determines whether leaders can actually execute from what they know.
As an ordained minister, I approach spirituality outside the confines of traditional religion, integrating the wisdom of body, mind, and spirit in my work with leaders. I help professional women move beyond leading from survival mode to leading from a grounded, regulated place.
My Approach
My coaching includes a team approach that integrates nervous system regulation with leadership development. This isn't just mindfulness or stress management; it's about rewiring your body's stress response so you can lead from clarity instead of chaos.
Through my Steady Six Leadership framework (Identity, Embodiment, Regulation, Expression, Connection, Rhythm), my team and I help leaders build sustainable success without burnout.
We work with clients individually, in group programs, and through immersive retreats at The Retreat at Canyon Ridge and other locations.
Whether you're leading a team, running a business, or managing a complex organization, my goal is the same: help you lead from a calm grounded presence.

Nervous System Leadership Assessment
A 45-minute call to understand what’s actually driving your stress and where your leadership needs support.
This assessment is for women leaders who are tired of leading on adrenaline and cortisol...and ready to lead from calm instead.
On this call, we’ll walk through the six pillars of grounded leadership (Identity, Embodiment, Regulation, Expression, Connection, and Rhythm) to assess where you’re strong and where you’re running on empty.
You’ll walk away with:
∙ Clear insight into your current leadership patterns
∙ A personalized snapshot of which pillars need attention
∙ Understanding of what’s possible when you lead from regulation instead of reaction
If it’s a fit, I’ll share how we can work together...whether that’s through Steady Six Foundations , Steady Six Leadership, or a
standalone retreat experience.
My signature year-long program for a small group of women leaders who are ready to go deep and transform how they lead - and equip their teams to do the same.
This is for you if you know you can't keep running on cortisol and adrenaline, you're done with quick fixes, and you're ready to rebuild your leadership foundation AND gain tools to create a regulated, resilient culture within your team.
You’ll experience what regulated collaboration actually looks like. The way we work together in this program models the team dynamics you’ll create with your own team - so you’re not just learning concepts, you’re living them.
This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about changing how you show up and giving you what you need to lead your team from calm presence instead of reactivity.

Leadership Retreats
Immersive retreat experiences for groups and individuals at The Retreat Canyon Ridge, our Texas Panhandle Retreat Center, designed for leaders who need to step away, reset, and reclaim their calm.
Sometimes you don’t need another strategy - you need space to breathe. These multi-day retreats combine coaching, breathwork, somatic practices, and time for deep integration in a peaceful environment built for transformation.
Whether you’re navigating a major transition, recovering from burnout, or simply need to reconnect with yourself, these retreats give you what coaching calls can’t: uninterrupted time to regulate your nervous system and remember who you are beneath the pressure.
Corporate Team Transformation
Custom programs for organizations ready to invest in nervous system-informed leadership development for their teams.
When your leaders are dysregulated, your entire organization feels it. Burnout spreads. Decision-making suffers. Culture erodes.
My team and I work with organizations to build resilient leadership cultures by teaching teams how to regulate under pressure, communicate with clarity, and lead from presence instead of reactivity. These programs are tailored to your team’s specific challenges and can include workshops, leadership retreats at Canyon Ridge, and ongoing coaching support.
