The Story Behind the Mic: Why I Started This Podcast

Welcome to the very first episode of Soul with Sammy! In this deeply personal and heartfelt conversation, I open up about my journey—the challenges, the triumphs, and the moments that shaped me into who I am today. From childhood struggles and financial hardships to medical trauma, motherhood, and finding my calling in mental health, this episode is a raw and honest reflection on resilience, healing, and purpose.

Join me as I share why I started this podcast, my passion for supporting others, and my hope that these conversations will remind you: you are not alone.

✨ In this episode, I talk about:
✔️ Growing up in a single-parent home and overcoming financial struggles
✔️ The impact of childhood trauma and navigating self-worth
✔️ Facing medical crises with my children and the lasting effects of medical trauma
✔️ The transition from corporate burnout to mental health advocacy
✔️ Why real, unfiltered conversations about mental health matter
