In Episode 16, Niccie hosts Susan Troth in a story of resilience, faith, and transformation. Susan faced incredible challenges, including infertility, decades of ministry, the loss of her first husband, and a life-threatening health crisis. Despite these hardships, she embraced God’s call to create a ministry and write her first book, Stressed to Splessed.

Saying Yes to God’s Call - Is God calling you and are you saying yes?...

Initially, Susan envisioned starting a simple business selling mugs. But after meeting Niccie and reflecting on her experiences, she realized that God had bigger plans for her. Through Niccie’s guidance and prayerful reflection, Susan pivoted toward creating a ministry that uses her life experiences to help others.

The Birth of Stressed to Splessed - What does the Lord want to see born in you?...

Susan’s book was born out of early morning sessions filled with prayer, worship, and writing. Her lifelong habit of journaling became the foundation for crafting her story. In just four months, Susan poured her heart into the book, offering a message of hope, healing, and joy for those dealing with trauma, grief, and stress.

Who Stressed to Splessed Is For - Who is God putting on your heart?...

The book and accompanying coaching program are designed for individuals who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Susan shares how the Holy Spirit guided her toward joy and spiritual healing—a transformation she now helps others experience through her ministry.

Trials and Triumphs - Do you have a space to process in?...

Susan opened up about her personal struggles, including:

  • Infertility: Navigating years of waiting and heartbreak.

  • Widowhood: Losing her first husband unexpectedly.

  • Health Crisis: Overcoming a severe illness that brought her close to death.

Through each of these challenges, Susan’s unwavering faith and reliance on God became her anchor.

Finding Joy in Healing - There's always joy in the morning (transformation)

A central theme of Susan’s ministry is joy. She incorporates the fruits of the Spirit into her coaching program, encouraging others to find peace and purpose through God’s guidance. The vibrant cover of Stressed to Splessed reflects this emphasis on hope and renewal.

A New Beginning - Do you need a new beginning?...

Susan also shared the touching story of meeting her second husband, Rick, through a grief support group. Their relationship is a testament to God’s faithfulness and provision in the wake of loss.

Takeaways for Listeners

  • Surrender to God: Trust in His plan, even when it feels uncomfortable or unexpected.

  • Start Small, Dream Big: Susan’s journey began with a small business idea but evolved into a life-changing ministry.
