Suzanne Hanna, Ed.S. | Life Coach for College & Teen Girls
I see you, girl. It doesn't feel good to always expect perfection from yourself.
Am I able to help you beat perfectionism? You better believe it.
You might also want encouragement. You might want a safe place to finally reveal your worries.
You might want academic direction, like HOW to study and get good grades. You might want to make better friends. You definitely want to belong.
Mostly, you want a trusted adult to give you the mentoring support know deep inside that you need.
I'm here to take your hand and guide you. I'm Suzanne, and my love language is making sure girls get the support they need to trust themselves and become unstoppable.
Hey! I'm Suzanne, and here's what you need to know about me: I've been mentoring girls for 27 years, and I am trusted by 63K families to provide real and relevant college advice.
How am I able to connect with girls? I spent most of my career as a high school assistant principal and English teacher, which means I've seen it ALL. The good, the bad, and the "why is this so hard?" moments. I'm also a mom of two (one in college, one in high school), so I understand this from both sides. I get it, and I never shame or judge my clients.
What happens in life coaching sessions? We meet via Zoom or phone call. Our sessions are confidential, and I'm there to help you gain confidence, manage the stresses of college life (academic and social), and I'm there to support you in making good decisions. I listen and give you a safe space to figure out the best path forward: we are building your future together!
What kind of girls do you help? I coach high-functioning, busy girls who need someone to listen and guide them. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate, anxious about the future, or just tired of feeling like you're behind everyone else, I've got you.
You are absolutely capable of creating a life in college that is rewarding, successful, and memorable. You don't have to do it without support.

Suzanne Hanna, Ed.S. | College Girl Life Coach
Why do your clients love you? My clients tell me they look forward to our sessions because it's the one place they can be completely honest about what's really going on. They start to realize that what they're looking for is already inside of them. Most importantly, we have FUN!
With 25 years experience in education (mostly as a high school assistant principal) and also as an English teacher in public and private schools, I get what you are going through. I've seen it all first hand and understand the REAL issues you are facing. I'm also a mom of two kids: a college student and a teenager.
I understand that our girls need support beyond their own mothers (and that is a good thing). Girls have endless support in high school (teachers, coaches, club sponsors, counselors), yet, when they get to college, they find themselves all alone and still in need of a trusted adult to guide them.
Helping girls unlock their true potential is my life's mission. I offer an honest, fun, and shame-free space for girls to share their worries, stresses, and hysterical stories.
We connect, we talk, and she always feels better.
