In this episode we welcome Samantha Ruberto, an intuitive guide and mentor who specializes in helping women live their most vibrant lives. She shares her inspiring journey of heart-centered living and personal transformation while opening up about the challenges she faced in her late teens and early twenties, including societal pressures, family struggles, and personal traumas, which led to a profound realization that her seemingly perfect life wasn’t truly fulfilling. At 27, she took a courageous leap of faith, leaving behind a successful career and a long-term relationship to embark on a solo journey across 80 countries, shedding societal conditioning and discovering her true self. Through Sam's story, we are reminded to embrace the discomfort of the unknown, trust the process, and live a life guided by the heart.
