Hi, I’m Samantha,

When I was small I loved art. It was the way for me to create a world with no worries or cares. In my stories I could escape from the world where I felt so alone. When I grew up I wanted to help other people like me, so I learned about psychology. I felt called to be a mental health counselor but I was not able to pay the money needed to go to school and finish the masters degree. I went through my first year and enjoyed it so much, so i decided to look other places that I could help people. That is why I started this blog, and the podcasts the go with it.


I would like to help you with exploring your values and finding ways to live your life fully engaged in what important to you. I want to help you find your character strengths, and find what characteristics that you want to upgrade. I want to help you understand your current map of the world, how you are currently meetings you needs, and then find ways to remodel you world to fit in ways that create a win win for you and those around you.
I am really good at seeing the big picture and all the little details within it, I also am fantastic at using creativity to help people see whats most important, and find resources to help others create the life that they want, sometimes little by little and sometimes like turing on a light switch. I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology with an empahisis in life coaching, a Masters degree in Psychology with an emphasis in health, and I have attended the first year of a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling. I hold multiple certificates in Coaching including level 1 in Mental Health Coaching.
