Hey, I’m Samantha.

For starters, I am many things, but I find labels rather sticky.

. . .

Much of my professional experience falls into the talent acquisition, education and operations categories.

Yet, much of my creative experience resembles what an author, athlete, artist or even producer might work on.

At her core, Sam is a teacher. To her, there is no greater gift and honor than to guide another to and through change.

That’s why she’s spent decades closely studying how humans learn, grow and develop across multiple industries and age groups.

And, strangely…she found the same (feminino—sorry I had to) phenomenon:

Very very miserable people. Like, very. But the busiest and most miserable?

Who were also experts at holding it together and still showing up— flawlessly?

Women.

Hardworking. Dutiful. Dedicated.

Suffering in silence. Dying?

And too many of these women were faking it until it made them sick.

So I had to ask myself: What happened to these working women?

And perhaps along the way I’d figure out what was up with me, too.
