Schmooze with Suze
Hi, I’m Suze. Here with your dose of culture, values and global citizenship- and where we tackle those topics others may consider off-limits.
A little about me, I’m a busy GenX mom who, quite frankly, wanted to grow up like the Brady Bunch… But ended up being raised in the shadow of Schindler’s List. So this means I’ve spent a lifetime navigating these mixed messages we get hit with daily. You know those conversations- where we wonder if it’s safe to speak our minds? Can we share our experiences? Voice our fears and concerns, or should we just keep our mouths shut?
Well, too bad. I need to know! But I’m no expert. So, I’m going to schmooze the experts and get their thoughts. Why? So when we engage with our kids, colleagues, or the countless committees we interact with, we can do it with competence, kindness, confidence, and maybe a bit of humor.
If this sounds like your cup of coffee- welcome to Schmooze with Suze!

How Do You Know If You Should Spend, Save or Invest? My Guest: ME
This episode I introduce new music in the INTRO and OUTRO.
The piece, and the composer, are special- Dance With Me.
It's the title- but also my invitation to this season.
I've asked you to borrow my binoculars. We got interested... curious...
We got funky. (Note the previous season's music. I choose with intention.)
Now I am challenging you to trust me as we dance through the imaginary boundaries that tether us away from each other.
I want to twirl toward tenacity...
The composer, INBAL COHEN-RASNER, is the CLASSICAL COMPOSITION WINNER of the 2022 Marvin Hamlisch International Music Awards,
Inbal was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, but currently share dual United States citizenship. She is a board certified and fellowship trained Radiologist specializing in adult Neuroradiology and Pediatric Radiology. She is also a music Composer and concert Pianist. She gained her formal classical music education in piano and music composition at the Music Conservatory school in Haifa, Israel. She received her medical degree from The Technion Institute. After completing her Radiology residency in 2004, she moved from Israel to the United States to further pursue specialized Radiology Fellowship training in Pediatric Radiology and Neuroradiology.
Throughout her medical career, she continued to write original music scores and perform at local music events. Around 2019, she started to expand her interest in composing music for films. She was the grand winner in the Oticons Faculty International Film Scoring competition 2021 and was nominated as the Top Finalist in the Film Scoring Academy of Europe contest 2022.
She has been practicing medicine her entire adult life, and thoroughly enjoys her career as a physician, but at this point, she wishes to pursue her true passion as a music composer.
Inbal is a woman who is INSPIRED AND INSPIRING!
She propels me to believe- over and over- that our transferrable skills can be as far away from where we began... We only need to follow the music that we hear.
