In this transformative episode, I sit down with Sam, an inspiring 18-year-old coach, facilitator, and somatic practitioner who is redefining emotional empowerment for young men aged 18 to 25. Sam’s work focuses on emotional regulation and harnessing the power of the nervous system to rewire outdated trauma and create pathways for transformation.

We explore the defining moments that sparked Sam’s mission and the insights he’s gained along the way. From the biggest misconceptions about young men’s emotional struggles to practical somatic tools anyone can use to feel more grounded, Sam shares wisdom beyond his years.

Highlights of our conversation include:

• What shaped Sam’s purpose to empower young men.
• A powerful reframing of emotional struggles and how to navigate them with courage.
• Simple somatic practices you can try right now to reconnect with your body.
• The surprising “aha moments” his clients experience when learning to regulate their emotions.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “useless” and “purposeful,” this episode will remind you that transformation is possible—and it starts within.

💡Tune in to be inspired, empowered, and equipped with tools to embrace your emotional journey.
