They Thought Your Story Was Over.

Let's Prove Them All Wrong.

About sam

You Might Belong Here If…

Progressing Not Perfecting was built for people who refuse to let their past define their future.

If any of this sounds familiar, you are in the right place.

  • You’ve ever felt underestimated or written off by others.
  • You know life knocked you down harder than most people understand.
  • You think deeply about life, purpose, healing, and growth.
  • You are curious about consciousness, spirituality, or personal transformation.
  • You are rebuilding your life or trying to become a stronger version of yourself.
  • You believe mistakes and struggles can become fuel for something better.
  • You know your story is not finished yet.

They said I wouldn’t make it.
I spent two decades trapped in the revolving door of addiction and incarceration. I buried more friends than I can count. I should’ve been a statistic—but somehow, I’m still here. And that means something.

I didn’t just survive—I transformed. I clawed my way out of a near-lifelong heroin addiction, rebuilt from rock bottom, and made a promise to turn my pain into a purpose.

If I can rise from that?
So. Can. You.

Let’s make this life count—together.

What I Believe (And Maybe You Do Too...)

"

I believe late bloomers grow the wildest flowers.|I believe you’re still here for a reason.|I believe your rock bottom is a starting line.|I believe the people we lose become part of the work we do.|I believe healing doesn’t look like a sunrise—it looks like wildfire.|I believe you can be both a masterpiece and a mess.|I believe the shame you carry was never yours to hold.|I believe the system wasn’t built to save us—so we had to become our own salvation.|I believe if the world rejected you, it’s because your truth scared their comfort.|I believe some of us were born to break generational curses with blood, breath, and backbone.|I believe your scars aren’t just proof you survived—they’re portals.|I believe you can’t bypass your darkness and still claim your light.|I believe everything you’ve endured was training for who you’re becoming.

Explore The Unknown

CIA Gateway

Exploring the unknown isn’t only about the universe around us—it’s also about the parts of ourselves we rarely examine. Shadow work reveals the hidden patterns, fears, and beliefs that shape our lives so we can reclaim our power.

CIA MInd Control

Cold War intelligence agencies explored whether the human mind could be influenced or controlled. Declassified documents from Project MKUltra reveal experiments with hypnosis, drugs, and psychological conditioning.

CIA, MIAS, Binaural Beats

The Central Intelligence Agency once examined research from the Monroe Institute on binaural beats—sound frequencies designed to shift brainwave patterns and induce altered states of awareness.

Shadow Work

Shadow work helps you uncover hidden beliefs, fears, and patterns so they can be transformed into strength and self-awareness.

SYNCHRONICITY, AND INNER GUIDANCE

Sometimes life speaks through patterns, coincidences, and quiet intuitive nudges. Exploring synchronicity and inner guidance invites us to pay closer attention to the subtle signals that may be guiding our journey.

Expanded Perceptoin

What if our senses only reveal a small part of reality? Exploring expanded perception invites us to consider how awareness, consciousness, and attention may open the door to deeper understanding.

What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is a transformative process that empowers individuals to clarify their goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock their full potential. It provides personalized guidance and support, helping people break free from limiting beliefs and take actionable steps toward a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Through a combination of strategic planning, mindset shifts, and accountability, life coaching enables clients to achieve personal growth, improve relationships, and find balance across all areas of their lives. It's about creating lasting, positive change and helping individuals realize their true capabilities.

Life coaching is not about someone telling you how to live your life.

It is about helping you see what you could not see before.

Most of us move through life carrying invisible weight. Old beliefs. Past mistakes. Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Stories we were told about who we are and what we are capable of.

Over time those stories become cages.

Life coaching is the process of breaking those cages open.

A good coach does not give you answers. A good coach helps you ask better questions, challenge the limits you have unknowingly accepted, and reconnect with the part of you that knows you were meant for more.

It is about clarity. Courage. Direction. And accountability.

It is about turning awareness into real change.

Who is Coaching For?

My coaching is for people who know, deep down, that their life is meant for more than the version they are currently living.

It is for people who have been through things. The kind of experiences that change you. The kind that make you question everything about yourself, your past, and your future.

Maybe you feel stuck between who you used to be and who you know you could become. Maybe you have been carrying shame, doubt, or old stories about what you are capable of. Maybe you are simply tired of living a life that feels smaller than your potential.

If that sounds familiar, you may be exactly who this work is meant for.

My coaching is especially helpful for people who are:

People rebuilding their lives after addiction, trauma, incarceration, or difficult life transitions.

People who feel stuck in old patterns and want help breaking free from them.

People who want more clarity, direction, and purpose in their lives.

People who are drawn to personal growth, spirituality, consciousness, and deeper self-awareness.

People who feel called to change their lives but are unsure where to begin.

People who are ready to take responsibility for their growth and actively work toward transformation.

People who want honest guidance, accountability, and support as they move forward.

This is not about fixing you.

You are not broken.

My coaching is about helping you reconnect with the strength, awareness, and potential that may have been buried under years of struggle, conditioning, or self-doubt.

Sometimes we simply need someone who can help us see what we cannot see on our own.

Someone who can ask the right questions, challenge the beliefs that keep us stuck, and remind us that our past does not get the final word in our story.

If you are willing to be honest, curious, and open to growth…

Then this work can be incredibly powerful.

Because real transformation does not come from pretending everything is fine. It comes from being brave enough to face where you are and courageous enough to move toward where you want to go.

And you do not have to do that alone.

Who Am I?

Nine years ago, everything changed.

At age thirty-five, I found out I was pregnant.

I left my apartment and checked into my small town’s homeless shelter with a 450 credit score and a correctional GPS tracker around my ankle.

That was my starting point.

Three years later, I purchased my own $350,000 home.

Over the past few years, my writing and ideas around recovery, transformation, and consciousness have begun reaching people around the world.

Today, I am a coach helping others rebuild their lives. I am also a forty-five-year-old mother to two beautiful late-in-life children, ages five and nine.

I’m an entrepreneur, coach, credit counselor, crystal and sound healer, Reiki practitioner, investor, crypto enthusiast, and more.

My story is not just about survival.

It is about transformation.

If I could rebuild my life from addiction, incarceration, and complete uncertainty, then real change is possible for anyone.

My life is proof that no matter how many times you have fallen, there is always a way forward.

Not just back to where you were.

Higher.

Stronger.

More aligned with who you were meant to become.

Along the way I discovered powerful tools that helped me rebuild my life from the inside out.

Meditation.
Energy work.
Crystals and sound healing.
EFT and nervous system healing.
Ancient spiritual practices and modern personal development.

These practices helped me move from chaos to clarity, from survival to purpose.

Now I share what I have learned with others who are ready to reclaim their lives.

Because this space is not just about me.

It is about all of us.

The stories we carry.
The battles we have fought.
The lives we are still building.

I am creating a community where struggle is not something to hide, but something to honor.

A place where vulnerability is strength.

Where progress matters more than perfection.

Where every setback becomes fuel for the comeback.

Your story matters.

Your healing matters.

Your future matters.

And together we can prove something powerful while provong them all wrong.

No matter where you have been, transformation is always possible.

You do not have to do it alone.

Welcome, My Lovelies!

How Am I Different?

Most coaches teach transformation.

I lived it.

I didn’t rebuild my life from a comfortable starting point. I rebuilt it from addiction, incarceration, and starting over with almost nothing.

Nine years ago I walked into a homeless shelter with a 450 credit score and a GPS tracker around my ankle.

Three years later, I purchased my own $350,000 home.

Everything I share comes from lived experience.

Not theory.
Not scripts.
Not motivational clichés.

Real transformation.

My approach blends practical life rebuilding with the holistic tools that helped me change my life from the inside out.

Mindset and personal responsibility
Meditation and self-awareness
Emotional healing and resilience
Financial rebuilding and empowerment
Spiritual exploration and consciousness

This is not about pretending life is easy.

It is about learning how to grow through the difficult parts and turn them into fuel for transformation.

Progress. Not perfection.

Why Choose Me?

Imagine stepping into a world where your greatest dreams are not only possible, but within reach. That's the world I guide you toward, where transformation is not just a word but a powerful force that awakens your true potential.

I’m not just a coach—I’m the key that unlocks the doors you’ve been afraid to open, the mentor who stands beside you as you step into your most empowered, unstoppable self. You deserve more than a life of limitations; you deserve a life that excites, energizes, and transforms you at every turn.

What if I told you that everything you’ve ever wanted—confidence, success, balance—is already within you, waiting to be unleashed? I know how to help you find that power, and once you tap into it, there’s no turning back. My coaching isn’t about simple steps or quick fixes; it’s about a complete evolution of who you are, breaking through old patterns and propelling you into the extraordinary life you’re destined to live.

With every session, you’ll feel a magnetic pull toward your goals, a fire within that’s impossible to ignore. The barriers that once held you back will seem to melt away as you tap into strength and clarity you never knew you had. I’m here to ignite that transformation. The question is—are you ready to step into your brilliance and claim the life that’s waiting for you?

If you feel even the slightest whisper of excitement reading this, then you already know—your next level is calling.

Because I understand what it feels like to start over.

Much of my own journey of rebuilding happened without the traditional support systems many people rely on. I did not follow a standard path. Instead, I kept an open mind and explored every tool that could help me grow and heal.

Holistic practices that helped me reconnect with myself.

What mattered most in the beginning was simply staying open. Open to learning. Open to growth. Open to the possibility that my life could change.

And it did.

Along the way, I discovered something powerful.

There is always a way forward.

A way to keep moving.
A way to rebuild.
A way to create momentum even when life feels overwhelming.

Not through empty motivation or surface-level advice, but through awareness, persistence, and a willingness to grow through the difficult moments.

That experience shaped the way I help others today.

When you work with me, you are not just receiving guidance. You are working with someone who genuinely cares about the people she helps.

Because I know what it feels like to walk that road alone.

And I would never wish that kind of isolation on anyone who is trying to rebuild their life.

My goal is simple.

To help you find your own path forward.

To be your biggest cheerleader, your confidante, your best chance at nakjing the changes necessary for you to do what I did. I am the total package.

Not just a coach. I went all the way and now have experience in all areas involving making a come back and proving them all wrong just like I'm going to help you do.

I will share the tools, ideas, and perspectives that helped me transform my life.

To add value to your life through honest guidance, real experience, and a belief that transformation is possible.

If you are ready to grow, rebuild, and explore what is possible for your life, I would be honored to walk that journey with you.

Because real change does not require perfection.

It only requires the courage to keep moving forward.

2. What do you offer?

As a coach my job is to get you from point A (where you are currently) to point B (where you want to be) with ease and efficacy. I offer coaching plans that require sessions that allow me to assess your strengths, learn what your biggest obstacles have been, and address your resistance to change.

I will help you find your motivation and simplify your habits and routines. We will target your strengths to identify your goals and create a plan of action. I offer a distinct perspective, an ear, and a brutally honest, non-judgmental, filter-free, opinion. It’s what I’m known for.

I offer accountability, reassurance, the release of so much pressure on you, answers, a path, a plan, a number 1 fan, a cheerleader, a confidant, and you get the idea.

Together we begin the journey of getting you to the life you deserve, as a high-functioning, organized, goal-focused individual that has a new take on life.

 

3. Will you consider payment plans?

I will not consider payment plans, though I did at one time. I do offer an income-based payment plan, which you do have to apply for. Each package/session must be paid before the session(s). In the past, I permitted a different policy, and here we are.

If you want coaching but can’t afford it, please just send me an email, and we can discuss other options and/or alternatives that I may have available. I try to help those who genuinely want coaching but can’t afford it.

4. What is your return policy?

As a policy, I do not accept returns. As a person who is considerate and who tries to be fair- I will work with you. If we meet once and don’t seem to align, and you request a refund within 72 hours of that first meeting, I will try to refund your entire package. It has never happened, but as a professional, I know that sometimes people just do not click. I will not force you to meet with me if I am someone you don’t want to be around. (Just for the example.)

Other than that, I will typically not refund sessions that have already concluded. I am also unable to refund digital products for obvious reasons. Regardless, email me to let me know what’s going on.

Who is Coaching For?

Spiritual Coaching

Spiritual coaching helps individuals reconnect with their inner guidance, purpose, and deeper sense of meaning. Through thoughtful conversation, reflection, and practical tools, I help clients explore personal growth, navigate life transitions, and develop a stronger connection to their intuition and beliefs. The focus is not on telling you what to believe, but on helping you discover the wisdom and clarity that already exists within you.

Through guided conversation, goal-setting, and practical strategies, I help clients identify what is holding them back and create a clear path toward meaningful progress. The focus is on growth, accountability, and building a life that aligns with your values and goals.

My credit counseling focuses on helping people rebuild financial stability and confidence after setbacks. We break down your credit report, identify opportunities for improvement, and develop realistic steps that support long-term financial progress.

Our community is a place for people who believe that life can be rebuilt, no matter where you start. Members gather here to share insights, experiences, resources, and encouragement as we navigate growth, healing, spirituality, and personal transformation together. We believe that progress happens through honesty, support, and small steps forward — and that nobody has to walk the journey alone.
