  • Beautiful introduction.

    I’ve been following Samantha’s work for many years. She has helped me in so many ways, I can’t put into words how much. The dedication to her father here is beautiful. What a wonderful way to make peace with a parent. This first podcast is well spoken, easy to understand and to learn from. I’m thankful to have found another source for my own growth. Thank you, Samantha ❤️
