I’M SAM
Personal growth mentor, author, and creator of the Thriving Woman® Method
In a world that prizes material success, I guide professional women toward something deeper—a life also rich in authenticity, vitality, and fulfilment.
I didn’t always have this life—
the freedom, the meaning, the peace
In fact, for years I chased a version of success I thought would make me happy. On the outside, I had it all—the career, the titles, the income. But as an occupational therapist surrounded by illness and death, the daily grind, material striving, and surface-level living began to feel futile and dull.
I slowly sank into a painful existential crisis—feeling lost, anxious, disconnected, and disillusioned.
I chased promotions and pushed through each workday—until I finally landed my dream role as a university lecturer. I was sure everything would change for the better. But the familiar frustration and dissatisfaction returned once again.
I reduced my hours, played housewife, dabbled in hobbies—but something vital was missing. I just didn’t know what. I feared life was passing me by—while I felt stuck and withering inside.
Then everything changed…
One evening in 2008, after yet another draining day at work, I was venting to my husband when I heard a voice say: “You can’t walk others down a path you’ve not yet trod.”
In that moment, I realised that I was spiritually lost—I was disconnected from my true self, meaning, and power. It led me to begin a profound self-development journey.
The Blueprint…
Two years later, after leaving my career, a second mystical experience revealed the outline for my book—and the blueprint for my life’s work. I spent the next 15 years dedicated to understanding, embodying, and living its wisdom. It changed my life from the inside out. This evolved into the Thriving Woman® Method—a roadmap for living a truly authentic and fulfilling life. This forms the cornerstone of my philosophy, lifestyle, and mentoring approach.
