Today, all of us at State of Mind Ireland proudly celebrate one of our founders, Dr. Susan Lawlor (Susan Ní Leathlobhair) on being named WINNER of the Story Awards, Inspiring Female Founder category at the Female Founder Awards Ireland & Northern Ireland 2026.
This award is far more than recognition of business success — it is a recognition of resilience, courage, purpose, and unwavering determination. Following the untimely passing of her brother Dr. Martin (Co-founder, SOMI), Dr. Susan Lawlor has carried on building State of Mind Ireland with heart, compassion, and an extraordinary commitment to changing lives, breaking stigma, and creating meaningful impact through advocacy, education, and support.
Behind this achievement are years of hard work, sacrifice, and an unshakable belief in creating something that truly matters. Susan’s journey has inspired countless people, and this award is a testament to the strength, authenticity, and leadership she brings to everything she does.
We are beyond proud to see her story, her vision, and her voice recognised on such a prestigious platform alongside so many exceptional female founders.
Susan, your passion continues to inspire all of us every single day. This moment is richly deserved, and we cannot wait to see the continued impact you will make in Ireland and beyond.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Susan Lawlor on this incredible achievement. 🤍✨
