I LOVED this interview with Samara Stone of Full Grown. I listened to the episode again and got energized y'all. You want to share this one far and wide for sure.
Samara Stone is the owner and founder of Full Grown, a lifestyle brand for grown women who are ready to imagine, create and boldly live a life of their own design. An HBCU grad hailing from sunny California (and currently residing in Baltimore), Samara believes we all have the power to manifest the life we truly desire—even if it means trashing the [life] template society believes we all should follow.
Getting her entrepreneurial start in 2005 when she opened her private mental health practice, Samara has since launched several programs [and brands] to help mental health entrepreneurs gain the clarity and confidence they need to fully embrace their expertise and build businesses that allow them to position themselves as the experts they truly are.
In addition to her work as a mental health professional, she’s also had the opportunity to pour into other organizations as a consultant, speaker, coach and facilitator. Through her journey [and work] she has learned what it means to be brave, trust herself and build in such a way that is authentic to who she truly is at the core.
While Samara’s career started in the mental health space, she experienced a major life transition at the age of 44 that would empower her to shift her attention [and intention] to older black women in the world living mediocre and unfulfilling lives. Tapping back into her beginning days, Samara realized she’s always had a love and passion for black women—and that’s how Full Grown was born.
Today, Samara is on a mission to help middle-aged black women age boldly through community, self-discovery, and a sense of adventurous risk taking. In her free time you can catch her mothering her 3 children, traveling, enjoying new adventures and loving up on her “honey”.
In the words of Samara, “we are more than mothers, we are more than wives, we are women—so let’s live life boldly”.
