    The Courage to Want More

    What if the thing holding you back right now isn’t fear… but contentment? Dr. Kamin Samuel explores one of the most important, and often misunderstood - parts of personal growth: giving yourself permission to want more. Not from greed. Not from ego. But from expansion, purpose, and the truth of who you are becoming. This episode builds on everything covered so far: money beliefs, strengths, the women’s transformations and invites you into the next layer of your own thriving journey. Kamin shares openly about a time in her life when things were “fine,” but she knew she was playing small: She had rebuilt after bankruptcy.She had stability.She was grateful.But she was also hiding behind contentment; afraid that wanting more meant she wasn’t appreciative of what she had. Many of us do this. We confuse gratitude with settling. And we fear that reaching for more will make us seem ungrateful, greedy, or “too much.” ✨ Have questions?

    Discovering Your Why and Superpowers

    What if the key to thriving in your life is already within you: you just need the language to name it? In Episode 4 of the Courage to Thrive Podcast, Dr. Kamin Samuel takes you behind the scenes of the two transformative assessments that shaped the journeys of the three women in the Courage to Thrive documentary - and helped them step into confidence, clarity, and purpose in powerful new ways. These tools didn’t just guide the coaching process. They revealed each woman’s natural gifts - the strengths they had overlooked, dismissed, or forgotten. In this episode, Kamin shares how these assessments helped Aireal, Carmen, and Serene step into who they truly are. These assessments aren’t about fixing anything. They’re about awakening what’s already true. When you know your strengths - deeply, clearly, unapologetically - you start designing your life from expansion, not fear. You stop asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and begin asking, “How can I use more of who I already am?” Kamin shares how these tools became anchors throughout coaching. A blueprint for each woman to see her worth. A mirror reflecting the truth they had forgotten. Learn more about the film, watch the trailer, and access free resources at ⁠couragetothrivedoc.com⁠.

    Breaking Money Beliefs and Rewiring Your Path to Abundance

    What if the biggest blocks to your success aren’t external at all, but quiet money beliefs you didn’t even know you were carrying? In Episode 3 of the Courage to Thrive Podcast, Dr. Kamin Samuel takes you into one of the deepest and most transformative themes of the upcoming Courage to Thrive film: the power of breaking through money beliefs and rewiring your mind for prosperity. From our previous episode, the three women featured in the documentary and their stories of breakthroughs around wealth, worthiness, and possibility became some of the most moving and powerful moments of the entire film. Through their stories, Kamin shows how money beliefs are inherited, subconscious, and often rooted in cultural or generational experiences; but they can be rewritten. At the end of the episode, Kamin gives you a powerful set of homework to start shifting your financial identity today. If you’re ready to create a new relationship with money, success, and your own potential, this episode will guide you there step by step.

In Episode 2 of the Courage to Thrive Podcast, Dr. Kamin Samuel takes you deeper into the heart of the upcoming documentary by introducing the three extraordinary women who became the soul of the film: Aireal, Carmen, and Serene.

These women represent three very different journeys, yet each one reveals the courage required to rise above limiting beliefs, generational patterns, and life circumstances that once held them back.
