Well… hello again. 😂
It’s been a while since I’ve really shown up here.
Sure, I’ve been around. I’ve reposted things. Shared things that resonated with me. Popped in and out.
But I haven’t really shared me.
And lately I’ve realized—I’m ready to.
The funny thing is, I don’t think I could have come back and shared in the same way anyway.
Because I’m not the same woman who stepped away.
A lot has happened while I’ve been quiet.
I’ve traveled. I’ve built. I’ve questioned. I’ve healed. I’ve been uncomfortable. I’ve surprised myself. I’ve let go of things I thought I needed. I’ve discovered things about myself I couldn’t see before.
And somewhere in all of that, I stopped waiting.
Waiting until I had everything figured out.
Waiting until everything was perfect.
Waiting until I knew exactly what the next five steps were before taking the first one.
I’ve spent a lot of my life with ideas—BIG ideas. 😂
But something has shifted.
I’m actually building them now.
And the more I build, the more I realize how much I’ve changed right alongside them.
There are things I understand about myself today that I didn’t understand even a year ago.
There are things I thought I had healed that I now understand differently.
There are things I thought I knew about my body, my nervous system, relationships, community, spirituality, healing, and even what it means to live a meaningful life that I see through completely different eyes today.
Africa changed me in ways I’m still discovering.
Creating community has changed me.
Learning to really listen to my body has changed me.
Building something I believe in has changed me.
And being willing to look at myself—especially the parts that aren’t always comfortable to look at—has changed me.
So I’ve decided I’m going to start sharing again.
Not because I suddenly have everything figured out.
Quite the opposite.
I’m going to share because I think there’s value in letting people see the becoming, too.
The questions.
The discoveries.
The things that work.
The things that don’t.
The moments where I realize, “Well shit, Sam… you were completely wrong about that.” 😂
The rabbit holes. You KNOW there will be rabbit holes.
And the things I’m creating as all of these pieces start coming together.
My business has been called Evolved Balance for years.
And somehow that name feels more fitting now than it ever has.
Because that’s what I’m learning life actually is.
We evolve.
We find our balance.
Something changes.
And we evolve again.
So consider this me dipping my toe back into the social media world.
But this time, I’m going to let you see more of the actual human behind the posts.
And I think the best place to start is probably by reintroducing her.
Because she’s changed quite a bit. 💜
