I’m Samantha. But you can call me Sam.
We all go through tough times.
In 2019, I lost my mum. It was one of those moments that changes everything. I found myself searching for ways to navigate a kind of pain I had never experienced before, and what helped me most was hearing other people’s stories. The podcasts. The books. The conversations with people who had been through their own hard moments.
They reminded me I wasn’t alone. And that’s when I realised something: we don’t talk about the tough stuff enough. We’re expected to keep going, stay strong and just “get on with it” — but sometimes what we really need is to feel seen, heard and understood.
So I made a pretty scary decision. I left my successful career in real estate and launched Honest & Bold.
No perfect plan. Just a big idea, a colourful vision and a belief that we all need more honest conversations and little reminders that we’re doing better than we think. What started as feel-good gifts for tough times became something much bigger.
Then, right before I was preparing to launch the Honest & Bold Podcast, I lost my dad and life changed again. But if anything, it made my purpose clearer.
The Honest & Bold Podcast is where we talk about the real stuff... the messy moments, the life changes, the lessons and the stories we don’t always hear enough about. The conversations that make you laugh, cry and remind you: you’re not the only one figuring it all out. And we’re not meant to go through it alone.
Welcome to Honest & Bold.
