Hi, I’m Susan van der Walt, an author, introvert, and advocate for those navigating life with hearing loss. My book, Silent Courage: An Introvert’s Authentic Journey with Hearing Loss, shares my experiences and insights on confidently embracing introversion and hearing challenges. It’s a heartfelt guide for those seeking to understand themselves better and improve communication in a world that often feels too loud.

In addition to my book, I create digital journals and resources designed to support self-reflection and personal growth. My Daily Reflections for Introverts with Hearing Loss journal is a printable tool to help you explore your journey, whether or not you’ve read Silent Courage. Each prompt encourages self-awareness, making it a valuable companion for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of themselves.

Beyond writing, I love books, quiet moments, and my two adorable dogs—Sassy, my sweet Japanese Chin, and Kanta, my playful Chinorkie. They bring joy and companionship to my days and remind me to embrace stillness and curiosity.

Here on Payhip, you’ll find digital products that complement my writing—journals, guides, and other resources to help you reflect, grow, and confidently navigate life. Thank you for being here, and I hope my work supports your journey.
