    [Eps.69] Anxiety vs Intuition: Surrendering & Trusting God When Life Feels Uncertain

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal life transition and the powerful lessons I’m learning when it comes to finally listening to our intuition, releasing control and surrendering to God, even when things feel uncertain. Whether you’re questioning a relationship, a job, or a place you’ve outgrown, this conversation will help you understand the difference between anxiety and intuition, and how to access clarity when you feel stuck. In this episode, we cover: Why I’ve been taking time off and the “big adult decision” I’ve been sitting with The feeling of being “stuck” on a soul level (even when life looks fine on paper) How fear shows up loud and urgent and why intuition is quiet, gentle, and steady Why anxious attachment can override your inner knowing in relationships The difference between emotion (nervous system activation) and feeling (deep inner truth) The role of grief when you choose alignment (even when it’s the right choice) Why “uncertainty” triggers anxiety and how faith helps you tolerate the unknown ➡️ Leave a comment below and let me your biggest takeaway from this episode!

    [Eps.68] Divorce Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me: Becoming Financially Free, Solo Travel & the Glow Up After Heartbreak (with Clover Lam)

    In this episode, Samantha sits down with Clover — a divorce money coach and creator of The Divorce Glow Up, to talk about the thing so many women go through when facing divorce: financial dependence and worries. Clover shares her own story of moving countries for her marriage, losing financial footing, and facing the terrifying (but transformational) moment of having to rebuild from scratch. Together, they explore how financial fear keeps women stuck in relationships, why “I can’t afford to leave” often needs clarity (not shame), and how rebuilding self-trust is the real glow-up. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The moment Clover’s intuition warned her… before the divorce even happened How money becomes a safety issue The hidden cost of self-sacrifice in relationships What “Divorce Glow Up” actually means The #1 fear women carry around money A practical first step for women who feel financially trapped Using fear as fuel (instead of letting it freeze you) Clover Lam is a post-divorce reinvention coach for women. Divorced at 30 and retired at 40, her own journey brought her to understand the complexity of rebuilding life after divorce. Through her signature 8-pillar framework, “The Divorce Glow-Up Roadmap”, she provides practical tools to help women regain confidence, reclaim their identities and rebuild a life that’s true to them. Her holistic approach combines mindset coaching, somatic healing, financial and lifestyle planning to create a one stop shop for women to turn pain into a glow-up.

    [Eps.65] The One When I Met My Ex After 6 years of No Contact

    I debated with myself whether to share this story but it’s such an integral part of my anxious attachment healing journey, I had to.

So this is my experience meeting up with the ex I thought was “the one who got away”… DISCLAIMER: This isn’t a gossip episode. It’s about my experience, what I’ve learnt from it, and what it really looks like to meet someone from your past after you’ve done the work to heal anxious attachment, abandonment wounds, and old relationship patterns. Grab the resources mentioned in the episode here: ➡️ The 7Day Breakup Detox Checklist ➡️ ”How to Let Go of Your Ex” Free Masterclass on Jan 13th. In this episode, you’ll hear: ✨ The backstory of the relationship I was sure I’d never get over – the one I believed I’d “ruined” with anxious attachment ✨ Why no contact was absolutely essential for both of us (even when I tried to cling to his family + crumbs of connection) ✨ How it felt when he unexpectedly reached out six years later… and why my “full body yes” wasn’t about rekindling romance ✨ The difference between needing closure and being genuinely curious and grounded enough to reconnect ✨ The 3 big realizations I had about detachment. ✨ …and so much more! ➡️ Leave a comment below and let me your biggest takeaway from this episode!

    [Eps.63] The Truth About Anxious–Avoidant Relationships: Can They Actually Work? with Rebecca & Pablo Webster

    If you’ve ever been stuck in the push–pull with an avoidant partner and wondered, “Is this actually fixable, or am I just torturing myself?”… this episode is the reality check (and hope) you’ve been needing. In this conversation, I’m joined by Rebecca and Pablo from Connection Counseling – a formerly anxious–avoidant couple who not only stayed together, but did the deep work to become secure in themselves and in their marriage. Rebecca opens up about her experience as an anxiously attached partner, raised by an avoidant mother and unconsciously repeating that pattern in love. Pablo shares honestly from the avoidant side – the shutdowns, the urge to flee, the shame, the rock bottom moment, and what finally made him choose to change. Together, we explore the real truth about anxious–avoidant relationships: ✨ When they can work ✨ When they absolutely shouldn’t ✨ And what it actually takes for both partners to move toward secure attachment.

    [Eps.62] From Toxic Relationship to Thailand: The Breakup That Became My Breakthrough

    In this deeply personal episode, I’m taking you all the way back to my first love, my most toxic relationship, and the breakup that completely shattered my world… and eventually led me to booking a one-way ticket to Thailand, which completely transformed my life. I share the real story I usually “brush over” when people ask, “So what brought you to Thailand?” — the emotional rollercoaster of an 8-year codependent relationship with an avoidant partner, the red flags I ignored, the moment I finally said “enough,” and how that pain became the portal to the biggest breakthrough of my life. I share this story with those who are stuck in toxic relationships, terrified to leave, or trying to rebuild their lives after a breakup. I want you to know that you are not alone and to inspire hope in your broken heart that this painful chapter of your life is about to crack you open. In this episode, I talk about: Meeting my first love at 15 and how our “obsessive teenage romance” slowly turned into codependency The early red flags I ignored How I lost myself completely and made him my whole world The emotional abuse that chipped away my self-worth The exact moment I knew I had to leave and how I actually found the courage to end it The aftermath: depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and rebuilding myself piece by piece How solo travel, self-love, and spiritual connection led me to a completely new identity The nudge from God that led to Thailand and why I never looked back ➡️ Leave a comment below and let me your biggest takeaway from this episode! ➡️ Join my IG Lives at the end of every week where we unpack each episode & your questions Love, Samantha xx If you enjoyed the episode, It would mean the absolute world to me if you would take a second to rate & share this podcast.
