About the guest

Sarah Susak

Sarah Susak, Author: YOURU - Find the Guru within You.

In 2017, shortly after becoming a mother, Sarah was diagnosed with a rare and deadly head and neck cancer.

Her journey through major facial reconstructive surgeries, intensive radiation treatment and ongoing medical challenges led her to discover the ancient practice of Vedic meditation, which became a cornerstone of her recovery and inspired her to train as a Vedic meditation teacher.

In 2023, she launched Medi Steady Go®, a business dedicated to sharing the wisdom and techniques that she credits with saving her life.

After being in remission of cancer for almost seven years, while completing her first book YOURU: Find the Guru within You, in 2024, Sarah was diagnosed with a metastasis to the lung.

Though safely removed, she developed a rare autoimmune condition, which saw her on life support and hospitalised for almost three months.

With the help of holistic health practices and her daily meditation routine, she made a remarkable recovery, defying medical expectations.
