Life at it’s best
Fresh insights, fresh perspectives
There is great wisdom and logic built into how our minds work. Understanding the principles behind life has brought delicious clarity and lightness to my life. Work with me and this can happen for you too!
Kindness
Come in. Have a cup of tea. Let’s sit together and talk about life. About your struggles and mine, what it means to be human, and the unlimited human potential.
Connection
I offer a wide range of possible interactions, from individual coaching and coach training, to events in my home. In the future, we may add international travel opportunities.
Learning
Most of us are looking for a deeper connection to life and to each other. And, when we find a path to deeper connection, our lives change for the better, like a flower coming into bloom. My work can provide this opening for you.
Exploring
I will share my sanctuary with you. It is my home and butterfly garden, and the coaching space I call The Chrysalis, a place for transformation and the recognition of miracles.
Our Founder
Susan Motheral, PhD
Since I was a teenager, I have been interested in how humans can live their lives with more joy, peace, freedom, productivity and success. In other words, my interest might be called the search for how to live a wonderful life. In this pursuit, my studies have been wide-ranging, from academic degrees in Behavioral Psychology (BA, Grinnell College; PhD, Duke University), to study of the Womanly Arts at Mama Gena’s School and more.
Over the past ten years, my life has been transformed through study and coaching within the realm of the Three Principles, as discovered by the Scottish welder Sydney Banks. This spiritual understanding of the principles behind life has provided me with a path to a more wonderful life.
The Motheral School for Wonderful Living was created as our way to share our understanding of these Principles. I offer coaching programs, primarily for individuals, and bespoke coaching certification programs. These services can be delivered in person, online or via telephone.
My work, school, and wonderful life blend beautifully. I love to travel, especially outside the US. When I am home, I tend to my organic garden that is devoted to butterflies, flowers and some veggies. My coaching space, The Chrysalis, is filled with carpets and other textiles I have collected on my travels, and is located in my garden in Fort Worth, Texas.

Annual Holiday Party
A couple of weeks ago I held my annual Holiday Party. This party is one of the highlights of the holiday season for me and tends to be a bit of an extravaganza.
My True Garden
I moved back to Texas in the early 1980s and during the next twelve years, I had seven boyfriends. I dreamed that I might create a life with each guy, move to a new home and maybe even start a family.
Great Cosmic Laugh
In April 2016, I attended a Soul Biographies Retreat with Nic Askew. His beautiful work is focused on witnessing people.
