Rich Life Diaries

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst gets a little personal.

Producer Caleb throws audience questions her way, and she answers them on the fly. She covers how her view of love has changed with age, why she backs prenups and keeping finances separate, and why she’s staying off the dating apps.

She then moves into business: finding your “gift” by noticing what makes you lose hours, building from passion rather than chasing money, and asking wealthy people for accountant referrals.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst pulls back the curtain on her own entrepreneurial journey - from having zero handouts, zero rich husband, and zero inheritance, to hitting millionaire status at 39 after years of grinding it out. Now, she's sharing the three things she'd tell her 25-year-old self if she wanted to get there faster.

Tune in for the full breakdown, and a healthy dose of tough love.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst shares the three craziest things she's done in the name of spirituality: ayahuasca, tantra breathwork, and a Kundalini yoga retreat. From a wild ayahuasca ceremony in Bondi (not quite the Peru experience she'd hoped for) to a tantra weekend in Byron Bay that had her questioning what she'd signed up for, she takes us through the highs, the weirdness, and everything in between — including an electric, fireball-filled breathwork breakthrough that left her feeling lighter than ever.

She also opens up about a strange full-circle moment from her Kundalini retreat, where multiple people saw her as a "Cleopatra-like" figure from a past life — something that resurfaced years later in an unrelated past-life regression reading. It's a raw, honest episode about the messier side of personal growth, and a reminder that you don't need to have it all figured out to keep exploring. Sam wraps up sharing what she leans on these days (hint: it's a lot more low-key) and why she's still all about growth, even when it gets a little "out there."

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst gets real about solo travel — why she does it, how she handles loneliness on the road, and the strategies that make traveling alone actually enjoyable rather than isolating. Drawing on over a decade of solo trips, she shares her go-to loneliness fixes (calling a friend, sitting at the bar, throwing on music), plus her bigger-picture philosophy: she refuses to let other people's schedules dictate whether she gets to live her life.

She also shares her practical solo travel playbook: booking group trips with solo days added on, trying a cruise, using Viator and Get Your Guide for excursions, and for women traveling alone, staying safe by sticking to secure destinations, being back before dark, and packing carry-on only.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst gets honest about a rough patch — she's been in a bit of a slump for the last month or so, thanks to a girls' trip that turned into an accidental solo holiday, a surprise pile of tax bills, and way too much doom-scrolling. So instead of the usual strategy talk, she's sharing the three to four things that actually pulled her out of her funk.It's a refreshingly honest one — no perfectly-packaged advice, just Samantha being real about a tough patch and the little things that helped her feel like herself again. If you've been feeling flat lately too, grab a cuppa and press play — you might just find your own reset button in here.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst digs into Part Two of her Why You're Not Rich series. She covers the drama addiction and endless scrolling that eats up hours you'll never get back, the perfectionism that keeps your business idea trapped in a Google doc, and the classic "waiting for the right time" excuse that never actually arrives. Samantha wraps it up by talking mindset and responsibility, the daily work of not slipping back into broke thinking and owning your results instead of blaming everyone else, plus the idea that your dreams might just be too small and too safe. If you missed Part One, she recommends going back to catch it first, and if this one hits home, it's a solid nudge to get honest about where your time and energy are actually going.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst spills her five secrets to looking and feeling hot at 50. She walks us through her skincare non-negotiables (retinol, red light therapy, baby Botox, and ditching the baby oil sun baking), plus why she swapped brutal gym sessions for Pilates, long walks, and a once-a-week weights session. She also gets real about why the whole "no carbs, no sugar, no joy" approach needs to go in the bin.

The last two tips are honestly the best ones though. Samantha talks about the power of dressing in a way that makes you feel good, choosing friends who are excited about life, and (most importantly!) how you speak to yourself. She's a big believer that confidence changes everything, and the women she knows who look incredible at 50+ have all made one simple decision: they've decided they're hot and they act like it.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst gets real about one of the most requested topics she's heard lately - how to actually earn respect. Drawing on 18 years of running businesses and navigating life as a woman who learned most of this the hard way, she breaks down six practical shifts that can completely change how people treat you. Fair warning: some of it might sting a little.

Samantha covers why being overly available is quietly killing your credibility, why saying less is almost always more powerful than over-explaining, and why the foundation of all of it starts with how you treat yourself. If you've ever felt overlooked, taken for granted, or frustrated that your effort isn't being matched — this one's for you.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst takes on the so-called "life script" - the socially expected path of marriage, kids, and a mortgage that most of us never stop to question.

With her signature no-filter style, Samantha breaks down the real statistics behind each of these milestones, from sobering divorce rates and the true financial and emotional cost of raising children, to the hidden expenses that quietly eat away at your property gains. She's not here to tell you these things are wrong, she's here to make sure you're choosing them because you actually want them, not because society handed you a checklist.

Samantha wraps up with a powerful reminder that success isn't about ticking boxes in the right order by a certain age - it's about the freedom to design a life that genuinely feels right for you.

In this episode of Rich Life Diaries, Samantha Hurst shares five liberating mindset shifts she has embraced since turning 50.

Her message is simple but powerful - if your dreams don't scare you a little, you're not dreaming big enough.
