My first guest episode in a while and it's with my new AMAZING friend Samantha Sanford (I LOVE HER). She's been in the online business world as an OBM for some very successful coaches and got tired being in the background when she knew she had so much to contribute herself.

Samantha decided to take on SHAME by creating a one-month long daily public monologue with shame. For every day of August 2025, she bravely recorded audios of herself confronting the things she was holding shame around. Then worked through allowing the shame to be there, inquiring what it was here to teach her and she has come full circle into her own power.

I'm so inspired by Samantha's discovery doing the Shame Monologues that I reveal something at the end of this episode that shocked even me! Here's what we dove into on this episode...

-------------

We explored how feeling shame, especially in women, is often avoided and how reconnecting with oneself can lead to greater power and intuition. Samantha shared her journey of discovering her own intuition and passion for redefining shame as a hidden teacher for unconditional self-love.

One of Samantha's biggest discoveries happened when she learned the importance of healing in the moment rather than viewing it as a long-term process. We discussed the importance of self-love and personal connection as a path to transforming the world, emphasizing that man-made issues like war and trafficking stem from people being disconnected from themselves.

She shared her decision to take bold steps in her career, moving from being a stay-at-home mom to building her own brand and mission all of which came out of her discovery of her relationship with long-held and hidden shame. Through her brand REBEL MATRIARCH and her personal work with shame, she's ready to be a catalyst for other women to work through shame.

This is just the beginning of a divine relationship, with both of us continuing to do this work together for the greater good. Listen in to this one and let us know if you're ready to tackle shame yourself.

You can find Samantha Sanford right here.

This one’s personal, raw and real as fuck and it might be better WATCHED than listened to: https://youtu.be/EKoJdqiwxBA

In this episode, I crack myself all the way open (ugly cries and snotty nose) and tell the truth about what it’s actually like to untangle yourself from toxic conditioning — religious, societal, relational — of the patriarchy and reclaim the parts of yourself you were told to hide, especially your sexuality, your power and your voice.

I talk about growing up feeling unsafe and unprotected, and how the absence of strong male figures shaped the hyper-masculine armor I wore for decades. I share stories I’ve never said out loud before — including early sexual traumas, painful memories from adolescence, and the root of the deep masculine energy that made me feel safe… until it didn’t anymore.

This isn’t just about pain — it’s about the power I am reclaiming while going through the pain.

It’s about finding emotional safety inside a relationship (so delicious) and within myself for the first time as a grown woman.

It’s about healing through trust, pleasure, expression and telling the whole damn truth — even if it offends a lotta people.

I talk about the collapse of my marriage, exploring ethical non-monogamy, and navigating desire as a conscious, powerful woman. I unpack how religion taught me to feel shame about my body and my sexuality — and how I'm burning that shame to the ground.

This episode is for any woman who’s ever felt silenced, scared, shamed, or spiritually suffocated.

It’s for the rebels, the seekers, the rule-breakers, and the ones who know their pussy power is a sacred portal to purpose and prosperity.

And yes — some people won’t like it.

I lost followers and it "stung" ... but not really. Because if I'm pretending to be someone just to keep you around, then I can't blame you for leaving when I actually show you who I am. Right?

We all know I’m not here to play nice just to make others comfortable.

I’m here to start a f*cking rebellion.

You comin'?

The "funny" thing about life is you don't get the lessons until AFTER you do the thing.

In this episode, I decide to take the mic to talk to ALL THE WOMEN out there, in their late 20's or early 30's who are PLANNING their life.

You know what I mean... assessing your partner (or looking for one) for fatherhood worthiness, provider abilities, alignment of future family goals - you know, the clock is ticking!

Because women have REAL, BIOLOGICAL hindrances, we MUST be discerning when it comes to partnerships during this time in our lives. We are LITERALLY against the clock and who we choose to procreate with is a massive decision.

I share my story as it relates to my marriage/babies journey and how I realized (just a few weeks ago) that I actually INTENDED to be a single parent because of this one thing.

I also cover ...

😱 The HUGE realization about my ex which led me to FULL acceptance & peace
🤦🏼‍♀️ The shitty societal and biological pressures we face around motherhood
👉🏻 How my feminist viewpoints on life took a DRAMATIC twist once I had a baby
🔒 The absolute IMPERATIVE questions to ask yourself (and your partner) BEFORE you have kids

I wish, before I got married and had kids, I knew to ask these questions of myself. Maybe my marriage would have turned out differently. But for any woman approaching that BIOLOGICAL CLOCK DEADLINE, please listen, watch and learn from my mistakes.

Wishing you all the best!
