Navigating Burnout, Motherhood, and Reconnecting

In this raw and unfiltered episode, Sam returns after a four-month hiatus to open up about her recent experiences with burnout, the challenges of balancing motherhood, and the isolating nature of her life. 

She touches on her struggles with maintaining motivation, particularly after a family holiday and outlines the difficulties of managing her content creation in Australia. Sam also discusses her early perimenopausal symptoms, hormone therapy, and the importance of finding personal projects and community engagement. 

She shares future plans for providing actionable holiday preparation tips and possibly reviving her Intention workbook series.
