Samantha is the therapist our children went to after the death of their little sister Aria. I have learned so much from Samantha and I wanted to have her on my podcast to share how we can support our children when we are grieving ourselves.
She has so much wisdom, experience, and hope to share with every single one of you and your children.

In this episode, we’re talking about how to change your situation, but it’s not how you might think. Many people feel stuck due to their circumstances, whether it's health struggles, family dynamics, or other challenges. The key insight is that it's not the situation itself causing stress or anxiety—it’s how our minds process it.
In this episode, we explore how overcoming initial challenges in running, which can take about two to four weeks, leads to significant progress. Running skills can enhance various life aspects, fostering confidence, longevity, and stress relief. My passion lies in helping runners return to pain-free running, not just for the sake of running, but to improve their overall quality of life. Whether it's being there for your family, setting an example for your kids, or simply clearing your head, running offers much more than physical benefits.
In this episode, I will discuss how trauma works and how it can be healed quickly and effectively. Trauma symptoms can be all over—startling easily, nightmares, panic attacks, and more. Most modalities for healing trauma can be retraumatizing or take years to work. However, with RRT, trauma can be healed in just a single session. By helping the mind understand that the event is over, triggers completely disappear, allowing you to live your life free from the chains of trauma.
In this episode, I will discuss how anxiety is so much easier to deal with than it feels. It feels out of control because it is—a survival mechanism built into the mind. But with the right tools, you can train your mind to distinguish between real threats and false alarms, so you don’t have to constantly be triggered into survival mode.
