The Origins

Follow the Knowing started as a blog in 2022 when Susan Barbeau unexpectedly lost her husband. He died in his sleep at the age of 38 from an unusual heart attack. Writing was a means to process the grief out loud and was a space where Susan vulnerably shared her story of discovering her knowing. You can read the early posts starting with 01: The Beginning.

The blog quickly gained readership and Susan realized it was having a bigger impact than originally intended. Today, Follow the Knowing is a company with the purpose of creating spaces for people to find and follow their knowing.

What is Knowing?

Knowing is the place deep inside of us, where our authentic selves exist. The place where we are free from shame or judgment and liberated from society’s artificial expectations. It is a place void of deficiencies and abundant with love.

Collective knowing is when a group discovers this place together and uncovers their shared purpose and path.

The story of how Susan discovered this knowing is an emotional one, directly tied to her grief journey. You can read about it in the blog post 41: What is Knowing?
