Searching for a little inspiration?

Hello from Nashville, Reader! I made it to the next stop on Samantha's world tour. If you missed it, I'm auditioning cities to be my next home base so for about the next month, I'll be living in Nashville. I can say that we're off to a great start - you know when the logistics just work and it makes you feel like a little bit of a mastermind? I had a bit of that experience in getting to my temporary apartment while here. Feels great :) But as a result of all the travel I've done in the last week or so, I've had some great time to consume content and damn is there some great stuff out there. So I'm going to keep this newsletter brief (I've got a city to go explore!) and pass along some of the things I've come across in the past week or so that are chock full of inspiration, insight or honestly, I just think are worth your time!
I hope you enjoy one or all of these little tidbits - if you do, shoot me a note back so we can chat about them? Have a great week y'all! Samantha P.S. Know this is a new format, so also feel free to let me know your thoughts! |

I'll be honest, Reader, there were about six months where I fully planned on shutting down my business. Not only was it not working (i.e. not making money anymore), I was miserable. I felt like I had to keep showing up publicly as having "the best life ever" and "totally transformed" in order to be able to talk to other women about how to build confidence, improve their dating life, make more money and just generally feel more satisfied. But on the inside, I was working through all the normal...
I'm going to be honest, Reader... I hate dressing rooms. I'm all looking polished, put together but trying on clothes is the bane of my existence (and no, just doing it at home isn't that much better). This has certainly affected how many upgrades I've made in my closet over the years, so I'm probably a prime candidate for a personal shopper or something, but that's a subject for another day. I bring up dressing rooms because they demonstrate a key principle of how we achieve our goals:...
I hate running, Reader. Like really dislike it. For years, I hated exercise in general specifically because I hated the feeling of the tightness in your chest when you're struggling to breathe and it feels like your body is screaming at you to stop. Why would I want to voluntarily subject myself to that feeling? (Other than the obvious long term health benefits of cardiovascular health, I know, I get it...) Well at the (not that) old age of 32, I had hit my breaking point on saying I was...
