Dr. Samantha Harte: The Troubles of Wearing Perfectionism | The Hopeaholics Podcast

In this transformative episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Dr. Samantha Harte bares her soul, recounting a journey from addiction and spiritual bankruptcy to profound recovery and purpose. From overdosing on cocaine the night she was accepted into her doctoral program to grappling with a marital crisis marked by infidelity, Dr. Harte’s story is one of resilience and redemption. The tragic loss of her sister to a drug overdose in 2022 became the catalyst for her bestselling book, sparking a mission to integrate spirituality into health and wellness. With raw honesty, she shares how applying the 12 steps to her marriage, confronting untreated shame, and listening to her intuitive self led to healing and an 11-year marriage with two children. As a physical therapist and founder of Strong Harte Fitness, she challenges the broken healthcare system, advocating for holistic care and self-advocacy, including hormone health. Her 90-day Hardcore Hustlers program empowers women to break cycles of dysfunction and embrace their potential. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone seeking to overcome addiction, rebuild relationships, or find their true calling.
