What started with a luxury vegan salon, a daily oracle card practice, and years of learning how to truly love herself eventually became Shine School, the Shine From the Inside Oracle Deck, and a community of more than 5,000 women.
In this episode of The Samantha Parker Show, Samantha sits down with entrepreneur and creator Brit Carmichael in Utah for a conversation about entrepreneurship, self-love, spirituality, community, and what it looks like to build a business around the transformation you’ve experienced yourself.
Brit shares the story behind Shine School and how the lessons she kept being asked to learn about self-love eventually became something she could teach other women. She also takes Samantha behind the creation of her Shine From the Inside Oracle Deck, explaining how her personal practice of pulling a card each day evolved into an entire product and brand.
But this conversation isn’t just about business.
Samantha and Brit talk about the Florida Goddess Retreat, the unexpected breakthroughs that happened during the retreat, hypnosis, sound healing, meditation, reconnecting with your inner child, and the importance of actually having FUN while doing personal growth work.
They also dive into the power of community and the story behind the Shine Tribe Sisterhood, which began through full-moon “Goddess Gatherings.” After Brit’s social media account was hacked, she was forced to rethink where her community lived and how important it is for entrepreneurs to have ownership and connection beyond a social media platform.
And at the center of it all is one of Brit’s biggest messages:
Self-love starts with the story you tell yourself.
This episode is a conversation about taking the experiences life gives you and turning them into something meaningful whether that becomes a business, a community, a product, or simply a completely different relationship with yourself.
If you're interested in entrepreneurship, self-love, women's empowerment, personal growth, spirituality, oracle cards, community building, retreats, social media, and creating a business around your purpose, you won't want to miss this conversation.

What if chronic pain isn’t always a sign that something is damaged? And what happens when years of working in high-pressure healthcare eventually push your nervous system into shutdown?
On this episode of The Samantha Parker Show, Samantha sits down with Kim, founder of Nervana Pain & Restoration, to talk about burnout recovery, chronic pain, the nervous system, pain neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and the connection between the brain and the body.
Kim brings more than 20 years of experience as an ER and trauma nurse, including a leadership role during St. George’s transition from a Level III to a Level II trauma center. But after years of working under intense pressure, Kim experienced severe burnout, isolation while working from home, and what she describes as a dorsal vagal shutdown. That experience ultimately led her to seek help through a three-week local mental health retreat and eventually rethink the direction of her career.
After leaving her hospital position and later working in hospice, Kim began building Nervana Pain & Restoration, combining approaches including pain reprocessing, nervous system support, neuroplasticity, IV hydration and nutrients, and the Neuromed device for targeted electrical nerve therapy.
In this conversation, Kim explains why pain does not always equal tissue damage, the difference between acute and chronic pain, how fear can influence the pain experience, and why understanding the nervous system can be an important part of recovery.
In this episode, we talk about:
* Chronic pain and the brain-body connection
* Why pain doesn’t always mean tissue damage
* Pain neuroscience and neuroplasticity
* Pain reprocessing therapy
* Nervous system regulation and support
* Burnout in healthcare
* Kim’s experience as an ER and trauma nurse
* St. George’s transition to a Level II trauma center
* Mental health, shutdown, and recovery
* Her experience at a three-week mental health retreat
* Leaving hospital leadership and working in hospice
* The Neuromed device and targeted electrical nerve therapy
* Acute vs. chronic pain
* Fear and the pain response

What if the secret to building a successful business isn't becoming someone else but becoming more of yourself?
In this episode of The Samantha Parker Show, Samantha sits down with author, entrepreneur, and real estate leader Emily Blossom for a conversation about authenticity, mindset, business, healing, personal branding, and what it really takes to create lasting success.
Emily shares insights from her upcoming book, “Be Radical About Selling Real Estate,” which explores 12 mindset principles and 30 rules designed to help real estate professionals and entrepreneurs build successful businesses from the inside out.
But being “radical” isn't about being loud or extreme.
It's about getting to the root of who you are, how you lead yourself, and the patterns that may be influencing your business and your life.
Samantha and Emily dive deep into the pressure so many entrepreneurs and real estate agents feel to create a perfect image, pretend they have all the answers, and “fake it until they make it.”
Instead, Emily makes the case for something completely different:
Radical authenticity.
They also discuss Emily's personal journey, including how writing helped her process difficult experiences, recognize patterns in her life, establish boundaries, and ultimately better understand herself.
This episode is for anyone building a business, growing a personal brand, working in real estate, or trying to figure out how to become successful without losing themselves in the process.
In This Episode:
- Coffee orders and catching up
- Emily Blossom's new book, Be Radical About Selling Real Estate
- What it truly means to be “radical”
- The mindset principles behind long-term success
- Healing, self-reflection, and the power of writing

What happens when a business opportunity looks perfect on paper... but your gut says no?
In this episode of The Samantha Parker Show, I sit down with returning guest Kailey Graziano, founder of Kéya Salon in St. George, Utah, to talk about one of the biggest business decisions she's ever made.
After nearly signing a contract to open a third salon location across town, Kailey made a surprising pivot. Through prayer, intuition, conversations with her family, and trusting her instincts, she walked away from the expansion and chose a completely different path.
The result?
Kéya Salon is now expanding from 6 chairs to 15 chairs, growing its team to nearly 20 stylists, creating space for future services, and exploring opportunities that may include a day spa and even purchasing the building.
Kailey's story is a powerful reminder that growth isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about trusting yourself enough to choose a different path.
If you're a salon owner, entrepreneur, business owner, hairstylist, realtor, working mom, or someone navigating a major life decision, this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.
