Huge personal win (& also totally a collective win) ✨ I am about to reach 100 thousand followers on instagram! (that means 100k awake humans we get to connect to) I was at 24k only 6 weeks ago!!! That's a 317% increase! I'm blown away and so super stoked, and yet I'm not surprised that it's happening like that. I made some very clear decisions and shifts that led to this result. And the truth... None of it had to do with strategy. IN FACT, it was the exact opposite. I let go of all of the lessons, the tips, the tricks, the strategies... (all that stuff I have taken so much time to learn, and paid a lot of 💰 for). I totally threw ALL of that out, especially the belief that I needed good lighting, the right mic and a script. I've never used a script, or a teleprompter or any of that.. but I kind of got caught up thinking I needed to for some reason... and that led me to just not making videos. Ok.. so what changed? Do you want to know? You want me to stop rambling and get to the point? Cool. So, what changed is this: I MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE MY FREAKING POWER BACK, TO STAND IN MY TRUTH AND TO JUST MAKE THE VIDEOS!!!! I know that my gift is being able to communicate complex topics simply, and to land a point by sharing my message, by using my voice and just putting it out there. The shift was ENERGETIC (as everything is). I was so sick of all the noise and conditions, and spinning about things that didn't matter, so I said NO MOREEEEE... I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO SAY, AND I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT. And since then I've had multiple plain talking head videos go absolutely viral. One reel alone got 30k followers... ONE REEL!!!! And you know what? That can absolutely change someone's entire life and business. So there you go, story time with Sam. I wanted to share that with you. 1. to celebrate together because it feels really fun & 2. to be a permission slip for you to just do the dang thing.

I had one of the most stressful days in my business yesterday. EVERYTHING got messed up. Like full on systems and tech meltdown... All while in one of the biggest launch days of my life. A sales video blew up and as thousands of people were being sent sales links, and hundreds of people were in the middle of purchasing... And then, right when I needed it most... My tech systems completely crashed... all parts of it. And everything became the bigger cluster mess I've ever seen. So I have hundreds of people buying things and thousands of dollars flooding in, and I am in a full blown panic/meltdown. Thank God for my VA, my tech team & my amazing business partners who held me together while it felt like I was going to have a full on mental and emotional breakdown. After almost 24 hours of madness and trying to plug holes in the system with duck tape, we stabilized the issue... mostly. So today, after barely sleeping and having my Ultrahuman ring tell me I'm in an unhealthy stress and recovery range.... I really had a full epiphany. I need to buy land, plant food, work in the garden and be wayyyyy less involved with the world of computers and tech. I'm grateful for the complexity and intricacy of my business and offerings and all the tech things, but wow.... wow wow wow... It can be way too much. As I write this on tech... 😓 So this all to say, from now on the main goal is to use tech as a strategic tool to need tech less and be in real life more, ideally with flowers, chicken, and my favorite people. That's where the future is anyway... It's not on our phones, glued to screens... At least that isn't my future or one I'd want for anyone I love. Which brings me to today. I've spent the last 15 years traveling to, studying, investing in and cocreating with ecovillages, off grid communities, retreat centers, intentional communities and also some culty like places. I've seen a lot, learned a lot, gained a ton of wisdom and gotten clear on what the most optimal path for human flourishing could look like.

Hi Friends! Hope you're having a beautiful weekend so far. I wanted to share with you a shift I've made that's changed my life in a subtle yet potent way: Making Sunday (or at least 1 day of the week) a very intentional day. I tend to be a bit of a 'achievement-aholic' or what you could call a "human-doing". I LOVE being busy, working on my business, creating content, masterminding, running around, going to the gym, working on projects around the house, etc etc. And while that is all great... I often (pretty much always) avoided any kind of intentional rest, reset and reconnection time. In fact, I used to not even consider a difference between the week and the weekend, and I'd almost always work Sundays as well. Until recently. This past year as I've connected much deeper with my faith and my own internal rhythms, I've recognized the desire and need to weave in a day of deeper intention - and it's been so so wonderful! Now I dedicate Sunday to super slow mornings, dancing to music in my kitchen as I make breakfast, going to Church, having brunch with loved ones and then taking the time to reset and transition into a new week. I take the time to journal, to reflect, to prepare and to put myself into a rejuvenated state so that my brain, body and soul is fully recharged and amped up to be in the overflow. This is the way that I know I can show up more fully, more potently and with even more purpose. Because we aren't actually human doings... we are human beings, and we have batteries, brains and bodies that need to chill the heck out once in a while! I'm not rigged with what this sacred day looks like, I let it flow (and sometimes I still do dive into projects or work if it's fully lighting me up and where my energy wants to flow). The only boundary I have is that I don't do things that feel heavy, hard or draining. So this mornin as I sip my organic bone broth and get ready to go meet the famjam for worship, I feel so much gratitude for the simple shifts I've made in my week that bring me so much joy and energy.

It's only been a few days since officially opening the community and we're at 100 members already 🚀 And we haven't even really started getting into the goodies 😃 Starting next week for 1 month I am going to offer weekly live Q&A calls! This is where we can jump on, connect and get into all the things Sovereign! Most importantly, what are the top 2-3 things you'd LOVE to have covered on these calls?
