If you're feeling the need to do more than make it through this challenging experience, then you'll want to check out
Life Interrupted/Being & Relationship
A free, online Group designed to be your source for support, learning and connection as you navigate this unprecedented event.
You can do more than just get through THIS!
Survival isn't the only thing to focus on right now.
As the singular creative force of your life, you can take advantage of this crazy, uncertain and disruptive time to grow as a human being and gain invaluable inner resources and skills.
Emerge on the other side of this experience with more capacity to love, relationships that work better than ever and newfound abilities to make your life feel more fulfilling.
Join Sam and other like-minded people in Expedition Self 's private, facilitated group and make this "impossible-to-have-imagined" circumstance in your life, an investment in the future of BEING - YOU.
Your best life can reveal itself in unexpected ways right now.
You might not be able to believe that amidst the stress and strain of each day, you could do anything other than learn new 'diy' tricks, exercise or dig into that hobby you've been hoping to get to.
Let's face it, between the emotional stress of living through THIS, the handling of day-to-day needs and taking advantage of the few occasions when you can just hang out or indulge in your favorite activity, it doesn't look like there's much more you'd want to do.
But right now, unusual dynamics have opened up an optimal window for deeper connection with yourself because the external world and your personal life are constrained into a singular space. The boundaries between the two are thinning.
You can gain a new clarity about choices you've made that don't truly serve you. And you can alter the way you relate with life, your people and your dreams.
As corny as this sounds, I don't want you to miss this opportunity for once-in-a-lifetime personal growth.
You might be asking yourself, "How can this possibly be an opportunity when I'm just trying to make each day work?"
That's the thing, when you're overloaded with overwhelm, responsibility and a changed-up routine, you're not able to maintain the same level of management in your life that was previously possible. You might be feeling both driven and withdrawn, all at the same time.
When we get out-of-sync, we usually get emotionally reactive, conflicted and more rigid. Add that to either sharing tighter spaces with family or finding yourself completely alone if you're single and you’ve got lots of growth material to practice BEING.
The ambiguity you are probably feeling caused by not knowing the when, where and how of the current events is not comfortable for the psyche. The brain needs structure, answers, guidelines ... to know what's what.
This is the optimal time I mentioned above because your brain IS a bit off-kilter. But there's good news, your WHOLE Self is more accessible to you in an entirely new way!
Even if you haven't previously tapped in as deeply as you'll need to right now, it's a totally doable proposition.
And that's why I'm wanting this group to get started.
To provide you with a way to open up to yourself, practice with some everyday life skills, create a new vision for yourself that totally includes wants and desires you might normally push to the side and gives you a place to expand your consciousness beyond 2020 and what you're currently living through.
Is this the RIGHT group for me?
Perhaps you're spending time thinking:
- How can I spend quality time with my children and still maintain my work responsibilities?
- How do I find "me time" when it used to occur during my drive to work?
- I'm finding myself in challenging conversations and I'm not sure how to make them more productive.
- I'm now in my home, alone and I want to use this time to take care of myself in the best way.
You also may be aware of:
- I'm present to thoughts about how how I run my life and I want to see what they mean to my future.
- I don't want my children to remember this time as something unhappy.
- I'm realizing this is an important time for me to deal with issues that have been floating around but not handled.
- This is a break from the hustle and bustle and I want to make it productive in an entirely new way.
- I find myself dealing with my friends and family as they stress about this and I don't want to burden them with my concerns.
- I have feelings of fear and insecurity but then they go away and I feel like I just need to take care of what's in front of me.
You, BEING you, are totally unique and experiencing a point in your lifetime never to be repeated. You are a complex and deep human being who deserves the time and attention to BE with all that you are feeling.
You can make this a definitive and transformative leg of your journey."
I have designed the Life Interrupted/Being & Relationship Group to provide you with the platform to look inward, share about it with others and contemplate your observations in a non-judgmental way.
Exercises, meditations, journal sessions and provocative conversation will help you to:
Identify the "secret sauce" for tackling the intentions, the undistinguished pressures and incomplete conversations of your life.
Think of these dynamics as the threads forming the fabric of your day-to-day experience in life. The leverage points where you can influence outcomes with less effort. When you can unlock the mysterious and unconscious nature of their impact on your choices, you instantly have more freedom to operate, function and create.
Participate in the Thursday evening live journal session. Drop in each day and share your latest thoughts and feelings. Take advantage of the shared exercises to interact with your inner Self. And be delighted when a pop-up discussion lands exactly on a subject you've been pondering.
Communication
Now, more than ever you'll be looking for ways to stay connected, to build relationships and understand others' needs.
Your communication will make all of the difference in whether your family, friends and co-workers become more related at this time. Tight spaces, changes in your routines and frustrations mounting as we realize what we can't do right now, will magnify the reactivity in our conversations.
And it doesn't stop there, for those who are needing to find connection through online video calls, you're dealing with a very different set of expectations. You might find yourself wondering how to connect more fully through your words because the platform doesn't provide the same psychic exchange you would've previously felt.
It's a perfect time to relook at what kinds of inner content you're exchanging, how it lands for others and what you can do to effectively place future-reaching building blocks of shared understanding into the relationships that matter most to you. It may not be easy but it's totally within your grasp to learn and practice and craft your capacity to communicate profoundly.
Exploration
You are probably finding the need to take better care of yourself. What does that mean in this constrained set of circumstances? When you had your routine, your "go-to hang out spaces" and it's likely a filled up calendar, you took care of yourself as best as you could.
But self care is needed now more than ever. The relationship you maintain with yourself is needing attention. Perhaps it's generating more thought and feeling leaving you wondering how to manage your inner world.
We'll provide you with creative ways to go inside, build a bridge between thoughts and feelings and open pathways to discover more about your core self. The mind loves to think and it's particularly fueled to think ALOT when you're managing stress, emotion and trauma. This is just the most primo opportunity to learn about yourself and develop a new way to connect with your inner self.
With the help of our guided exercises, worksheets and prompts, your whole Self will be nurtured, supported and encouraged to more readily handle the challenges and the opportunities.
Workability
All of a sudden you find yourself with only the walls of your home and the task of maintaining a life you don't recognize.
What do you do with your day? How do you use this time in the best way? Does your energy show up for you?
The habits of your life are a rich garden awaiting your exploration. This is a 'PAUSE' in the machine that's been running your hours, your minutes. The way you drive yourself to get things done, to deliver on expectations and to stay on-top-of your many responsibilities has come to an intersection.
Give yourself the inner listening, the time to ask yourself whether it's really been working. Does it inspire you? Energize you? Move your life along in the direction you most desire?
It's not a comfortable space to occupy. One that allows for more than you typically plan and intend for your mind. But if we don't take this time to look closely at what serves us, deeply, in cultivating meaning, purpose and fulfillment, then we're likely to get right back on that hamster wheel of repetitive, habitual living.
Our conversation and weekly video calls will give you a way to think about your past daily activities and rethink how you might not only experiment in this "pause" but also construct a new framework for going into the future.

Some insight about Sam ...
David Gdula
Self work is a difficult endeavor for those who take it seriously. Sometimes, when we look inward into those dark places of our souls, we just don’t like what we see. Fear and apprehension, judgment and uncertainty, these things can serve to mask our path of growth and self awareness. Having a guide, someone who can help us unravel meaning in our discoveries, is a gift. Sam has been that gift to me. She’s helped me learn how to be in the moment of discovery, to honor my thoughts and feelings as they are, to be comfortable with spontaneity and complexity, and to be patient with myself as I navigate on my journey of self awareness. With her wisdom and experience, as well as with her kindness and supportiveness, I have made some breakthroughs on my journey to self awareness I may never have made alone.
Suzy Miller
Sam so generously shares her gifts with the people in her world by making us brave, helping us feel safe in stretching to understand our real feelings, our motivations, by helping us discover our true purpose, and emboldening us to embrace it and live it.
She changes lives. She affects people. And she does it in a way that only she can do. So loving. I watch people blossom in her presence, because of her presence. She is magic.
I have learned what it means to be a stand for myself first, and then for others. I am now connected with my own power and how I can use it responsibly and effectively to create a great life.
