Devotional with Samantha Gilhooly

Have you ever looked back at a situation and realized you were ignoring the signs that someone was taking advantage of you? In this episode, we're talking about self-worth, naivety, intuition, and learning to develop discernment without losing your soft heart.

We'll explore why we sometimes override our intuition, make excuses for people's behaviour, and struggle to set boundaries because we don't want to disappoint others. Most importantly, we'll talk about how to stop abandoning yourself, protect your energy, and recognize that being kind doesn't mean you have to be available to everyone.

You don't have to become cold or hard to protect yourself. You just have to learn how to lead with an open heart while choosing yourself, too.

This week on Devotional, I’m joined by my dear friend Sherri, a reading educator for little ones and the creator behind Live Free with Sherri, where she talks money, personal finance & freedom.

We get into what freedom actually means once you strip away the travel highlight reel... and why it might look completely different for you than it does for her.

Sherri opens up about walking away from her full-time teaching job, what living & teaching in Thailand taught her, and the pressure so many of us feel to be just ONE thing.

We also go deep on money: her shift from a scarcity mindset toward abundance, how she hit her $100K savings goal while still traveling multiple times a year, and the simple spending filter that made it possible.

Plus... imposter syndrome, being the first in your family to build a business, and how to start becoming the person you want to be before you feel “ready.”

If you’ve ever felt too scattered, too multi-passionate, or not qualified enough to start... this one’s for you, babe.

Meg Fitzgerald is a fitness, nutrition, and mindset coach and the founder of Fitz Fitness, where she helps high-achieving women get strong, eat with confidence, and carry that confidence into every area of their lives.

She went from homeschooling, to her first in school experience writing code to unaligned relationship that introduced her to fitness/nutrition to stepping on a bodybuilding stage to NOW, and she'll tell you the hardest part of changing your body happened in her head.

In this episode, we get honest about what devotion actually looks like when it's hard, why the old version of you fights back when you start changing, and what happens to your relationships when your standards go up. We also get into people-pleasing, and Meg shares a simple "hell yes" filter for knowing when you're being flexible and when you're just abandoning yourself.

What we talk about:

• Why devotion and discipline go hand in hand
• The identity shift nobody warns you about
• How getting stronger changed her relationships
• Flexibility vs. people-pleasing
• The confidence no one can take from you

If you've ever wondered why the follow-through is the hard part, this one's for you. 🎧

Relationship advice from a bite size content can leave you questioning your entire relationship.

Advice on the internet can be so great. But if you don’t have discernment and train yourself to be the person who knows best for their own circumstances, that one piece of advice can be playing in the back of your head leaving you second guessing.

I take an example of content I saw and explain the nuanced part of it because i believe that many people are confused about when it’s worth it to stay and when it isn’t.

If this resonated with you, dm me on IG and let’s get you into my 1:1’s 🤍

I go all in on this episode as I was feeling inspired from a reel I saw from another creator.

The reason you’re experiencing the same reality in love is because you simply believe that’s only what’s possible for you based on current or past evidence.

In this episode I show you exactly how to create new relationship experiences that will kick start the overflow of new, healthy, infinitely loving beliefs about love, intimacy and the relationship with yourself.

You’ll be laughing and learning at the same time because some funny shit was said 🤣!

If you’re SERIOUS & COMMITTED about creating a new ass love life where you actually feel confident and you want to give yourself permission to want more in love instead of accepting the bare minimum and calling it the jackpot…Dm me, because my 1:1’s are about to change ya life hoe 🤍 did it before and I’ll do it again!

I know and understand how incredibly challenging it can be to shake the people pleasing habits.

And this episode I want you to leave feeling so fkn empowered and in the knowing that you do not have to carry that identity anymore, in fact it’s a disservice to everyone including yourself when you do.

In sex, saying no can be incredibly challenging for many people who have gone through relationship or intimacy trauma— for many reasons: religious conditioning, what they’ve seen modeled as love and their conditioned ideas around what is “right” and “wrong”

I share a piece of my own historical experiences in intimacy and how that rock bottom feeling pushed me to be a stronger fkn woman and not let ppl fk with me—THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TOO!

Grab your journal and take some notes because this is about to be a Bad Bitch activation!

Having boundaries is sexy…and I’m going to show you exactly how to do so and be the Baddie that you are while still having the soft beautiful big heart that I KNOW you have.
