Today’s episode is a short and sweet shot of empowerment! Society tells us as women that we can’t have it all. We can’t have the big bank account, the amazing business, the great relationship and feel fulfilled. Society is wrong. You can have it all. You can have everything you desire and everything you need to create your dream life. If you need some inspiration to just go for it, this episode is...

Amanda is a past mentor of mine and has transformed the way I show up in business and in life. In this episode, she shares the tools she uses with her clients and her own business to nurture inn...

When we’re kids at school or even at university, making friends seems easy. You just sit next to the kid nearest to you with your lunch and there it is- a (sometimes) lifelong friendship is born. But it’s not as easy when we’re adults. It feels like the people we meet already have their own established lives or that they already have “enough friends” and won’t be looking for more. So how do we mak...

"Individually and collectively, we are shifting from a position of fear into surrender and trust of the intuitive. The power of the feminine energy is on the rise in our world." Shakti Gawain Like so many women, I used to be stuck in the masculine energy of doing. I had to work harder and longer. I had to show up every single day as the person that made things happen. The person that took action a...

This is one for anyone who needs help slowing down! The core of so much of my work with my clients is the art of observation. Observing themselves, how they feel at any given moment and understanding their emotions and patterns. And one of the key ways we do this is through breathwork! Today’s ep is a recording of a recent group coaching call I had with my amazing clients where we discussed the in...

“Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.” Breathing isn’t something most of us think twice about. It’s an automated mechanism that does its (very important) job and we just go about our day without giving it a second thought. But as I’ve discovered on my health and wellness journey, our breath is one of the most important mechanisms we have t...

Sharing the glow up of women who went from 0 to 100 and the struggles they currently face aka be more real! It’s my turn in the hot seat! A couple of months ago, I appeared on my friend Naomi Rotstein’s podcast, 1FitFoodie to chat about body image, entrepreneurship and how to thrive as an imperfect real-life woman! We talk about: My personal journey from undergrad architecture to where I am now an...

This one is for all my short women out there! 🙋🙋 There’s no doubt that diet culture has a lot to answer for. From disordered eating to body dysmorphia, the far-reaching consequences of the messaging that’s been shoved down our throats since we’re young can be devastating. The interesting thing is, more often than not, we’re not even aware on a conscious level of the effect that diet culture has...

The women I work with and coach are primarily high-achieving, perfectionist, driven women and  I specifically work with these kinds of women because I am one myself. I know what it means, how it affects my client’s lives and the challenges they face because of it. And I also know it comes with a shadow: allowing yourself to receive help and support, even if you are paying for it. This really...

Nine out of ten women don’t like their bodies. I’ve heard that statistic so much recently and it still shocks me. It almost shouldn’t anymore because we see that message around us all the time. How to be thinner, how to get nicer hair, nicer skin, what clothes we should wear. Everything we see is about how to make ourselves look better. But what if we shifted to being better? Imagine if that 90% t...

The relationships we see around us from a young age have the ability to deeply affect our core beliefs about ourselves. It affects our attachment style, our personality, our way of being. Some of the most important work we can do is start to unpack the intergenerational narratives we’ve inherited and challenge them. We learn everything from what is modeled for us, especially in those first five ye...

In today’s episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest parts of my evolution and something I know so many of you want to feel better about: MONEY! especially money mindset and investing in yourself. When I made my first investment in myself, so many fears and doubts came up for me… but I did it and since then, I haven’t looked back and have invested over $75,000 in myself and my growth. Over the...

I started healing work because I had a f*cked up relationship with food and exercise. I hated my body. All I wanted was to be like the tall “skinny” girls, but I had an athletic build, a short torso and did not have a thigh gap. So I dieted, I restricted my calories, I over-exercised. I was stuck in a cycle of binging and punishment. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from the last few years, i...

One thing that I see time and time again in my work (and within myself!) is our tendency to ignore our intuition and internal signals. It’s a story that’s familiar to so many of us. Pushing ourselves, over-training, over-exercising, all the while ignoring what our bodies are trying to tell us. And it all stems from this belief that if we get the “perfect body” then we’ll be happy and all our probl...

As women, we are rewarded when we put other people first. We have this complex that we’ve learned from society that we should take pride in doing as much as possible for everyone else and we over-give to the point that it becomes almost a sacrificial martyr complex of “How much can I do?”. It’s exhausting. So at the end of the day, we feel passive-aggressive and upset. Maybe it's at our partners....

Being consistent sounds hard, doesn't it? Imagine actually showing up for yourself and doing the thing and then doing it every single day/week/month/year that you told yourself you would. Phew, it sounds exhausting! I used to think exactly that. It all stemmed from this belief that I wasn’t good enough. I had textbook imposter syndrome so I sabotaged myself from achieving anything. My work was my...

One thing I’ve been hearing in my messages from you guys and my clients is about the struggle to stay consistent. You try something for a few days, then “fall off the wagon” so to speak and it all just falls apart. I get it! If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my health journey, it’s that consistency is not easy! It takes a whole lot of inner work and a deep dive into our mindset to really dig...

SIGN UP: CONSISTENCY QUEEN MASTERCLASS: balancewithsam.com/consistency Fear is something we ALL experience, right? It’s an innate, biological response that’s designed to protect us. But what can we do when fear stops us from getting what we want? Our dream career? The incredible relationship? Personal growth? Often fear is what stops us from taking action. We get overwhelmed with fear of not picki...

Today, we are talking all about the EGO.. you know… that sabotaging voice in your head that tells you that you aren't good enough or you shouldn’t invest in yourself even though you’ve been stuck in the same place forever. Doing ego work transformed my life, body, relationships and business. It helped me stop sabotaging my health and my body and gave me the confidence to start a side hustle and th...

You know that expression “The path is created by walking, not waiting” ? It’s one of my favorites because, well, it’s true! Life is there for the taking. Everything we want, we can have. But we have to be the ones to take the steps and do the thing. We have to set boundaries to protect our energy. We have to surround ourselves with people who can see what’s possible for us. We have to believe that...
