My story.
As many good stories begin, I hit rock bottom during the end of a 7yr relationship and through the many processes of grief it offered, I returned to the truest essence of who I am.
The story begins a few years prior to the full completion of my relationship, which is when I was starting to notice how disconnected I had become from myself, my body, and my emotions. My fiancé at the time was a police officer and as you may expect, that lifestyle takes a toll on you. He was an incredible person, but was dealing with some very strong demons that trickled into our day to day and ultimately the core of our relationship. In the midst of touring wedding venues, I found myself numb, unhappy and at my breaking point. I was ready to call it quits when life had other plans.
Rather than ending the engagement a that time, we instead decided together to start over in a new city. We sold everything we owned, packed up the cars, and moved from new Orleans to Buffalo, NY in winter of 2018.
That’s when things really took a wild turn.
He was out of law enforcement, I was already on this journey of entrepreneurship and network marketing. One thing led to another and he joined me in that venture. We connected to people from all over the world in this online business community and it expanded what I knew was possible in life. I was introduced to all things manifestation, energetics, mindset reprogramming, and went into a full on obsession with learning as much as I could with the knowing it was the way out of my feeling of stuck, disconnected, and unfulfilled.
That time period will always be one of the most impactful experiences of my life, and one that has shaped who I am now in ways I could never have imagined before.
I was becoming more and more of who I knew I could be and wanted to be. I finally felt like I was with like minds who saw the world similarly to me. I was feeling more in touch with my spirituality and faith than I ever had.
However,
The thing that was still disconnected was my relationship with my fiancé. From traveling in the most romanticized city of Venice, Italy and going to sleep lonely and crying to being on the beautiful island of O’ahu and turning my cheek to dodge his kiss without even thinking about what I was doing. I had to be honest with myself.
We took “space”, then we tried to heal for another two years while living in separate states which is where I learned so much about healthy communication and being true in my expression. Ultimately, we ended our relationship mutually and cordially in 2021.
I share this because that relationship and everything I experienced and grew into because of it is a major part of what brought me to the next part of the story.
The end of the relationship pushed me to figure out who I was as Samantha, not as a couple.
Not only was I removing the title of a fiancé, I unexpectedly moved back home to Nashville, stepped away from my business, and started over from what felt like scratch. This catapulted me into a type of healing I did not see coming. Everything from teenage angst surfacing, to kundalini awakening, to anxious attachment style unearthing. It was so intense that I turned to poetry as my safe space to express which is how my poetry book “The Words You’re Not Hearing” came to life.
First, I had a rude awakening and then I had deep levels of release and then I had a whole lot of fun being free and “unhinged” as we said at the time. It was a tame but also highly erotic chapter and I look back and see just how necessary it was because all of those things that came up. Be it the rebel or the wild or the angry or the playful. They were all hidden and suppressed for so long that they were dying to have their moment to rise and process out of my system.
During that time, I was using all of the tools and practices I had accumulated up until that point such as breath and movement and inner child healing, but doing it without any of the terms of “spirituality” I was holding onto before. It was just me with my body, with my nervous system, with my emotions and letting my introspection give the space to be messy and explore all the things I needed to.
So that I could release all the density I was carrying around and create a new stronger, clearer, and lighter foundation to build from.
This is what I see now when I look back and it is what I know now to be the most important piece of the puzzle when it comes to…
