Sweet Sammy Foster is back on Less Surface Level, and a lot has changed since we recorded an episode a year ago. In this episode, we catch up on everything that’s happened in her world; the heartbreak, the healing, the lessons, and the ways she’s grown into a clearer, stronger version of herself.

We talk about what it’s like to look back at your past self after a big chapter ends, the things that surprised her most about who she’s becoming, and how her values in love and relationships have shifted. Sammy shares openly about moving through a breakup, what was hardest to let go of, how it changed the way she sees herself, and the support and practices that actually helped.

We also get into the real, messy parts of wlw relationships: the red flags that make more sense now, the green flags she actually pays attention to, and how trusting herself has become a whole new skill. Sammy reflects on the role queer community has played in her healing, and why talking honestly about queer relationships matters so much.
