  • Feeling Off? It Might Be Your Routine

    Feeling Off? It Might Be Your Routine
    Oct 29 2026

    Sometimes you don’t realize how much your routine is supporting you until you lose it.

    Since moving from California to Tennessee, our lives have changed in just about every way. New home, new responsibilities, farm life, animals, travel, businesses, and a completely different daily rhythm. And for almost three months, the routines we had spent years building pretty much disappeared.

    And we felt it.

    In this episode, we’re getting real about what happens when life throws you out of rhythm and how we’ve been finding our way back. We talk about taking control of your morning, creating a space that supports your habits, staying off your phone, journaling, gratitude, movement, and why the routine that worked in your last season might not work in the one you’re in now.

    We also share how different our own routines look, what we’re still working on, and why getting back on track doesn’t mean changing everything overnight.

    If you’ve been feeling a little off lately, start by looking at how you’re spending the first part of your day. You might not need a complete life overhaul. You might just need one small change that helps you find your rhythm again.

    In this episode:

    (00:02) - What happened when our routines disappeared after moving (04:42) - Why your morning can set the tone for your entire day (08:14) - Staying off your phone and protecting your morning (10:07) - Creating an environment that makes good habits easier (14:27) - How we each approach journaling differently (18:54) - Gratitude, reflection, prayer, meditation, and reading (23:20) - Why going back through old journal entries can be so powerful (27:50) - The impact exercise and movement have had on our energy (33:41) - Why your old routine might not fit your new season (34:15) - A simple morning audit to help you get back on track (34:48) - How to start with one habit instead of trying to change everything

  • The Truth About PR: Why Your Story is Your Biggest Asset ft. Lisa Perez

    The Truth About PR: Why Your Story is Your Biggest Asset ft. Lisa Perez
    Oct 22 2026

    You can have a great business and still be overlooked. Not because your work lacks value, but because people don’t understand what sets you apart.

    Your story is one of your greatest business assets. It’s what makes you different, helps people connect with your brand, and gives them a reason to remember you.

    Visibility gets you noticed. But knowing how to tell your story and communicate your value is what helps you build trust, meaningful relationships, and a reputation that lasts.

    In this episode, Sam sits down with Lisa Perez, founder of Perez Relations, a boutique PR firm that helps founders and entrepreneurs build visibility through relationship capital, integrity, and strategic storytelling. Her approach to PR goes beyond press features or simply getting a name out there. It’s about understanding a business’s identity, uncovering what makes it unique, and shaping a story that supports long-term growth.

    Together, Sam and Lisa unpack the truth about PR that most founders learn too late, why your story might be your most powerful business asset, and how the right relationships can open doors that marketing alone can’t. They explore what it takes to build credibility, communicate your value with confidence, and grow a business that people remember for the right reasons.

    Because growth isn’t just about reaching more people. It’s about knowing your story, understanding what you stand for, and building the relationships that help you get there.

    In this episode:

    (01:34) - How Lisa turned 12 years of agency experience into launching Perez Relations (09:36) - The difference between relationship-driven PR and Traditional PR (11:15) - The role of storytelling in brand elevation (13:11) - PR vs. Branding vs. Marketing - what does your business actually need? (17:15) - The problem with chasing viral moments and instant gratification (20:01) - How to position yourself before you start pitching (23:15) - What actually makes you ready for press? (24:15) - How to build a reputation that grows with your business (26:20) - How getting clear on yourself changes the way you show up (28:50) - Practical ways to uncover your strengths and passions (29:36) - Understanding the foundation of an authentic elevator pitch (31:05) - The PR mistake that can damage your reputation (32:19) - How to know if your business is ready for PR (38:00) - The simple reset that helps you show up as a better founder (45:04) - Knowing when to pivot, when to persist, and when to walk away (47:13) - The belief about success Lisa had to unlearn (51:48) - The one skill you need to build a career in PR

  • Beyond the Spine: Realigning Your Mindset & Reconnecting with Your Why ft. Dr Lisa Parissi

    Beyond the Spine: Realigning Your Mindset & Reconnecting with Your Why ft. Dr Lisa Parissi
    Oct 15 2026

    You can spend years building a successful business and still lose sight of yourself along the way. But what happens when the next chapter of your life requires you to rebuild your confidence, let go of old identities, and reconnect with the purpose that started it all?

    In this heartfelt episode, Sam sits down with her longtime best friend and fellow chiropractor, Dr. Lisa Parissi, for an honest Alignment Audit about personal growth, mindset, and learning to trust yourself again.

    As the owner of Wellness Choice, a corrective chiropractic practice in Costa Mesa, California, Lisa has spent years building her business, navigating setbacks, and learning the hard lessons that come with success. Now, as she prepares for an exciting new chapter with a completely reimagined vision for her practice, she's discovering that the biggest transformation isn't just happening in her business. It's happening within herself.

    Together, Sam and Lisa explore the importance of personal development, overcoming self-doubt, protecting your boundaries, and surrounding yourself with people who support your growth. Most importantly, they uncover why reconnecting with your purpose is essential to stepping confidently into what's next.

    Whether you're building a business, navigating change, or stepping into a new season of life, this conversation is a reminder that your next level of success begins with the person you're becoming, not just what you're building.

  • Designing a Life That Feels Like Success ft. Andrea Gebhardt

    Designing a Life That Feels Like Success ft. Andrea Gebhardt
    Oct 8 2026

    Success can look different in every season.

    In this episode, Jeff sits down with his friend Andrea Gebhardt for a fun and honest conversation about leadership, motherhood, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and what it means to design a life that feels aligned with what matters most.

    Andrea is an entrepreneur, leadership educator, speaker, mentor, and host of the Brewing Success Podcast. She began her career in education after a teacher changed her life and made her believe she could do anything she set her mind to. That belief became a throughline in her work: helping people see what is possible for themselves.

    Andrea shares how stepping into leadership at a young age forced her to look inward, why a John Maxwell event changed the way she led, and how personal growth became a major part of her life and work. She and Jeff also talk about the small everyday moments that make people feel seen, from holding the door to having real conversations with the people right in front of us.

    The conversation also goes into Andrea’s decision to leave education after realizing the life she had built was no longer the life she wanted to keep living. That moment led her to choose family, presence, and what she called a life-design opportunity.

    From building a business to launching Brewing Success, working with John Maxwell, raising four kids, and redefining success in this season, Andrea’s story is a reminder that leadership starts with how we show up, how we grow, and how we make people feel.

    In this episode:

    (02:20) -The teacher who changed Andrea’s life (06:08) - Walking into leadership before feeling like a leader (11:47) - Why leadership starts with looking inward (16:26) - How to make people feel seen in everyday moments (20:28) - How to build relationships that go beyond transactions (27:08) - Teaching your kids to make an impact wherever you go (32:20) - Understanding what makes people feel appreciated (33:47) - Building a life your family gets to be part of (39:39) - How Andrea ended up working with John Maxwell (45:06) - What continuous learning really looks like (49:32) - Why you should stop waiting for the perfect plan (55:01) - How to stop letting self-doubt control your potential (58:20) - Quick Fire with Andrea

  • Raise Your Base Camp: The Climb of a Lifetime

    Raise Your Base Camp: The Climb of a Lifetime
    Oct 1 2026

    What if the discomfort you’re feeling isn’t a sign to go back, but proof that you’ve reached a new altitude?

    In this episode, Jeff invites you to look at your life like a mountain. Maybe you’re standing at the bottom, looking up at something you’ve never done before. Maybe you’re somewhere in the middle, trying to find your footing. Or maybe you’ve reached a summit you’ve been working toward for years, only to realize that getting there doesn’t automatically make it feel comfortable.

    Just like a mountain climber has to prepare, adjust to the altitude, weather the storms, and acclimatize before continuing the ascent, we have to give ourselves time to grow into the life we’re building.

    Jeff explores the mindset needed to keep climbing when things get uncomfortable, why our minds can pull us back toward what feels familiar, and how visualization, intentional action, patience, and learning to sit in discomfort can help us create a new normal.

    Because reaching the summit is only part of the journey. The real transformation happens when you learn to hold your new altitude, raise your base camp, and become the person capable of continuing the climb.

    Wherever you are on your mountain today, this episode is a reminder that discomfort doesn’t always mean you’re on the wrong path. Sometimes it means you’re exactly where you asked to be.

    Acclimatize. Raise your base camp. And keep climbing. In this episode:

    (00:03) - Seeing your life as a mountain (02:09) - The preparation your next summit requires (03:54) - How your vision guides the climb (06:39) - Why you can’t rush your way to the next level (07:44) - Why growth requires you to do things differently (11:03) - How to stop letting familiar patterns pull you back (12:36) - How time at altitude turns discomfort into confidence (15:37) - Why the test before the summit matters (17:21) - Why accomplishing the goal isn’t the same as holding onto it (18:29) - How to become the person who can live at your next level (19:55) - The reminder you need to keep climbing

  • Create More Peace in Your Life by Choosing What Matters: Kristen Kasper’s 90-Day Check-In

    Create More Peace in Your Life by Choosing What Matters: Kristen Kasper’s 90-Day Check-In
    Sep 24 2026

    What if creating more peace in your life isn’t about doing more, but choosing what actually matters?

    90 days ago, Kristen Kasper joined Samantha for an Alignment Audit to uncover what’s really holding her back from her next level. She was building her business, raising three kids, saying yes to opportunities, and constantly putting everyone else first. She wanted more peace, but she had to get honest about what was taking her further away from it.

    Now, Kristen is back to share what’s changed.

    In this 90-day check-in, Kristen opens up about the decisions she made after her Alignment Audit, from changing her environment and creating stronger boundaries to saying no to opportunities that no longer fit her life. She shares how choosing quality over quantity has changed the way she works and what happened when she made more intentional space for herself and her family. She also reflects on old beliefs about money, success, and self-doubt that still show up from time to time, and the mindset practices that helped her keep moving forward.

    What started with a desire for peace has evolved into something more. Kristen’s word for this next season is “fun”, and she’s learning what it looks like to build a life and a business that she actually gets to enjoy.

    This is a real look at what a 90-Day Check-In is about. Not becoming a completely different person overnight, but making different choices long enough to see what starts to change.

    In this episode:

    (02:00) - Kristen returns for her 90-day check-in: What changed? (03:49) - How changing your environment can change everything (10:05) - What happens when you stop trying to do it all alone (16:08) - Simple things that helped Kristen feel like herself again (17:56) - The unexpected way family changed Kristen’s life (20:09) - How working on yourself reveals what you need (22:29) - Why healthy boundaries start with saying no (28:03) - How old programming can keep you in self-doubt (30:21) - How to use your wins to break old patterns (33:16) - Why confidence comes from practice (34:32) - When peace becomes the foundation for fun (37:12) - The reminder you need when you feel stuck (40:03) - The small choices that create real alignment

  • What’s Really Holding You Back From Your Next Level? Alignment Audit ft. Kristen Kasper

    What’s Really Holding You Back From Your Next Level? Alignment Audit ft. Kristen Kasper
    Sep 17 2026

    You know you’re capable of more. More income. More freedom. More time with your family. More space to enjoy the life you’ve worked so hard to create.

    So what’s really keeping you from reaching your next level?

    In this Alignment Audit, Samantha sits down with Kristen Kasper, a wife, mom of three, and longtime content creator who has spent more than a decade building a successful online business. She has grown a loyal community, created opportunities, partnered with brands, and turned her creativity into a career.

    From the outside, Kristen has already achieved so much. But beneath the success, she feels stretched thin. She knows there’s another level available to her, but she also knows she can’t reach it by continuing to say yes to everything, pouring into everyone else, and leaving little time or energy for herself.

    Together, Samantha and Kristen uncover what’s really standing between Kristen and the life she wants to create. They explore the old beliefs and identity patterns that continue to shape her decisions, the fear of success that may be keeping her small, and the pressure to remain relatable even as she grows.

    They also get practical about where Kristen is leaking her energy, how stronger boundaries can create more freedom, why quality matters more than quantity, and how setting clear income goals can help her build a life and business by design.

    Because reaching your next level isn’t always about doing more. Sometimes it begins with recognizing the beliefs, patterns, and fears that are holding you back from what you’re already capable of.

    In this episode:

    (02:24) - Meet Kristen Kasper (05:10) - Why betting on yourself matters more than following the expected path (06:35) - The reality of building a business while raising a family (12:18) - The life Kristen wants to create (19:12) - The Vase Analogy - are you pouring into everyone except yourself? (21:56) - What happens when you stop saying yes to everything (23:28) - Quality over Quantity - how to create more freedom without doing more (24:42) - Why doing more isn’t the same as taking care of yourself (28:39) - How to train your mind for the life you want (29:28) - The Radio Station Comparison - overcoming old beliefs that are still running your life (34:05) - Why your next season requires intentional time (36:31) - Why you need to stop letting fear of success define your limits (39:42) - Why you don’t have to be perfect for everyone (43:51) - Needs, Wants, and Dreams - how to know how much money you need to make (48:42) - The role of boundaries, self-care, and clear goals in your next season

  • Are You Ready to Go All In on Your Dream? Our Farm Life Update

    Are You Ready to Go All In on Your Dream? Our Farm Life Update
    Sep 10 2026

    What happens when you finally find yourself standing in the life you used to dream of?

    Six years ago, we were in Machu Picchu talking about the kind of life we wanted to create. We talked about retreats, alignment, freedom, and who we wanted to become. At the time, those conversations felt like dreams. We had no idea what they would eventually look like.

    Fast forward to today, and we’re sitting on our farm in Tennessee.

    We left California, stepped away from a life that was familiar, and chose to build something that felt more aligned with where we were going. And the truth is, farm life has challenged us in ways we didn’t expect. It’s asked us to slow down, get our hands dirty, be patient, figure things out as we go, and trust each other through the parts that don’t always make sense.

    But it’s also given us moments where we look at each other and think. How did we actually get here?

    In this episode, we’re sharing a real update on our farm journey - from those conversations in Machu Picchu to leaving California and betting on ourselves. We’re also reflecting on the people who believed in us when these dreams were still just conversations, the risks we took to get here, and the way we’ve had to trust God’s timing along the way.

    And maybe as you listen, you’ll start thinking about your own journey a little differently. Because sometimes the life you’re waiting for is already being built, one small, faithful step at a time.

    In this episode:

    (02:08) - What happens when the life you dreamed about becomes real? (06:39) - Why you sometimes need a new environment to reset (08:03) - The dream we had six years ago (10:46) - Why the waiting isn’t wasted time (13:35) - How community and environment shape your life (15:51) - What it really takes to build something together (18:03) - Trusting God when the future feels uncertain (19:06) - Why you have to be willing to pivot as you grow (21:27) - What it means to surrender when you don’t know what’s next (22:30) - How the right people can help you build your vision (28:24) - What it looks like to have faith in God’s timing (29:12) - What happens when you let God lead your next step (35:41) - What it means to fully commit to your vision 39:16) - The reminder you might need in your own journey
