This Halloween, we're taking off the masks. In this raw, honest episode, Sam unpacks the fears most women never say out loud — not spiders or ghosts, but the ones that haunt our everyday: fear of failing, fear of wasting potential, fear of being too much or not enough, and the mother of them all — fear of not being there for our kids.

Sam explores how fear doesn't always hold us back — sometimes it's pointing us forward. With humor, candor, this episode reframes fear as love in disguise — the pulse that proves we're still growing, still alive, still in it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why "fearless" is the wrong goal — and how to use fear as a compass instead.

• How moms perfect the art of mask-wearinga nd what happens when we start to loosen it.

• The real cost of "doing it all" (and why rest is the bravest rebellion).

• The quiet fears of working moms: not being enough, being too much, falling behind, or outgrowing our lives.

Key Quote:

"Fear isn't the opposite of love. It's love's shadow — proof that something matters enough to scare you."

Perfect for: Working moms, creative entrepreneurs, women juggling ambition and motherhood, anyone tired of pretending to be fearless.

Listen if you've ever:

• Smiled through burnout

• Wondered if you're "doing it right"

• Hidden behind "I'm fine" when you weren't

• Felt scared to slow down, speak up, or take the next leap
