you'll get to the top, but you'll die along the way.

dude, I love the internet man.

This is Samantha Harman, or as some may know, @samanthasbeautyconfessions.

She reached out to me once she listened to one of my episodes, the episode about my childhood trauma to be exact.

She instantly resonated with what I had endured, but also wanted to share her story too.

This was the first time a bigger creator reached out to me because of my podcast, and if I'm being honest, I was shocked when she did.

The point of my podcast is to bring people together and show them that vulnerability is a beautiful thing. Social media doesn't have to be smoke and mirrors. You can use your platform to create this beautiful space of peace, happiness, and connection. It felt so good that she got the message - that through vulnerability, she felt safe enough to share her story too. She reminds us that she's also a human being. She experiences emotions just like the rest of us. She is just like the rest of us.

It feels so good that the podcast is getting into the right hands (or dare I say ears ;)

listen to Samantha open up about her childhood, how that shaped her career, and also a devastating divorce.. how she experienced her "aha" moment and it lit a new kind of fire under her ass.
