Today we’d like to introduce you to Susan Day. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Susan is the mother of a child with autism and the founder of nonprofit Spring Forward for Autism. When she’s not supporting nonprofit causes, Susan is hosting events that encourage female empowerment … in fact she just completed a 2022 Swimsuit Calendar shoot featuring women age 35 to 75. In fact, you can buy that calendar benefiting Spring Forward For Autism on www.fitnessonfifthflorida.com The founder of fitness studio Fitness On Fifth went viral on her YouTube channel, https://youtube.com/c/SusanDayDanceFitness.
Where thousands of subscribers from around the world danced for more than 200,000 hours last year on YouTube. Susan made her live fitness classes available to anyone from around the world for free because she wanted people to have a dance and fitness outlet during COVID. The result was a global dance movement and connection!
This winter, Susan was deemed Captain of the Mayors Fitness Challenge by Health First.
Looking back… Susan’s transformative moment was when she decided to go ALL IN and honor herself as her number 1 priority! Stay tuned for more with her book launch on Amazon this March, called Choose Happy!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Nothing worthwhile is ever smooth… My son was diagnosed with epilepsy and autism by age 4. We’ve spent weeks in the hospital several times with uncontrollable seizures. Not to mention having a child with Autism is an extreme challenge daily… As I became stronger, some women around me that I thought were friends began to bully me. Making me realize that women need women and I needed to change my boundaries to eliminate the negative influencers in my life.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Susan Day Official and Fitness On Fifth Florida and Spring Forward For Autism?
As a mother and of a son with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I founded nonprofit Spring Forward For Autism to raise awareness and funding for families in need or diagnosis, treatment, therapy, and education. For my own sanity and health, I became a fitness instructor specializing in dance fitness, coaching, and nutrition where I started my own studio to reach a wider audience. During covid, my YouTube channel and live classes posted there went viral and since then have developed an international following where I connect and influence people from all around the world!
As an influencer, coach and autism mom, I am most proud of staying true to who I am and empowering other women like me to reclaim their sexy and feel good about self-care and putting ourselves first for a change! I’m doing so, I launched a calendar four years ago featuring women of all ages to show that sexy has no age limit!
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
I love supporting other women in business and any small business for that matter! I am happy to collaborate and show that together we are stronger! I am launching a book series this spring CHOOSE HAPPY! You can learn more on my websites! I hope to influence more people regarding Anti Inflammatory Protocol and nutrition! Most importantly, I am so thankful to everyone that supports my nonprofit Spring Forward For Autism that supports families in need!
