Episode 82: Samantha Buckley-Hugessen & Her Book, Unstuck Yourself: The Guide To Designing A Life You Love

In this episode, Samantha, a U.S Certified Coach originally from Seattle Washington and now an ex-pat living in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, walks me through her experience of living life and working to empower others, in the process changing the world by design instead of existing by default.

Interestingly, Samantha's story is similar to that of other guests in the general sense that

she was working in one direction, became successful, and achieved her goals -- but something was missing. Something just didn't feel right. Her values weren't quite being espoused in the work she was doing.

It's plain and simple: We're either going to live our life by design or by default. Which one will you choose?

Conversation Highlights

  • How a rocky childhood or past, or being a victim at one time, for one person blossoms into service to others, breaking the generational trauma chain.
  • What we need for ourselves based on our childhoods.
  • What people misunderstand about codependency.
  • The power of having a great example of what NOT to do - "You can control it if you take responsibility for things."
  • Discussing the pillars of her book: time, freedom, money, freedom.
  • The problem with blowing a cylinder
  • Don't be a shit magnet

    • The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Samantha is, How do you live your life -- by design or default?
