Susan Pieper is a creative director turned modern-day meaning seeker — a storyteller who believes happiness has flavors and that every soul carries a story worth sharing.​

 

Born in New Jersey, refined in New York City, sun-softened in Los Angeles, and spiritually awakened in Raleigh, Susan’s life has been one long cross-country quest for joy, purpose, and the magic tucked inside ordinary moments. Along the way, she became an award-winning creative leader, shaping brand identities, producing multimedia storytelling, and guiding teams with equal parts vision, heart, and humor.​

 

After years of building brands, campaigns, and “big ideas,” Susan felt pulled toward something deeper — a calling to create spaces where people could share the truth of who they are. That whisper became 5 Flavors of Happiness, her growing platform and storytelling series dedicated to exploring the spiritual, emotional, and beautifully human paths we take to joy.

 

​Today, Susan blends creative craft, spiritual curiosity, and a little Jersey edge as she interviews extraordinary everyday people, writes about the soul’s journey, and builds tools that help others feel seen, grounded, and connected. Whether she’s directing a video, designing a webpage, or guiding a guest through their story, Susan’s mission is simple: help people remember the light they carry — and maybe laugh a little while they do.
