January 29, 2021 Susan M. Omilian, JD Attorney at Law Susan M. Omilian JD, an author, motivational speaker, and nationally recognized expert, has worked to end violence against women for the last forty years. Her passion and enthusiasm for this work became more personal and immediate with her niece Maggie's violent death in 1999. Driven by a desire to help women move on after abuse, her work has been described as "life-changing." She is the the award-winning originator and facilitator of the My Avenging Angel Workshops based on the idea that "living well is the best revenge." She has helped hundreds of women take the journey from victim to survivor to thriver and reclaim their lives after abuse. Her non-fiction books, in The Thriver Zone Series, set forth the motivational guidance she has successfully used in her workshops since 2002. Her novels, in The Best Revenge Series, are inspired by the true events of her niece's death and illuminate the healing journey of the human spirit after abuse and tauma.
