Mental Health Week is coming 💚

And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from talking about anxiety for years… it’s that sometimes the most important thing we can do is actually talk about it.

Not another boring wellbeing presentation. 😜
Real conversations. Practical tools. Plenty of laughs. And hopefully a few “OMG… I do that too!” moments.

I still have a few workshop & speaking spots available around Mental Health Week for schools, workplaces and community groups.

📅 3–11 October

Tell me you’re a nutritionist without telling me you’re a nutritionist… 😂🍉🥑🍋

When your cousin and her daughter see THIS and immediately think, “Sammy.” 😂

Tiny little fruit artworks made bead by bead, watermelon, avocado, banana, strawberries, lemons, oranges…

And considering my office is already home to digestive systems, giant teeth, plush fruit, poo hats and various other nutrition props… I think we can safely say these are going to fit right in.

I absolutely LOVE that they saw them and thought of me. 🥹

Now the important question…

Do I hang them neatly in a beautiful little gallery wall… or embrace the chaos and cover the whole office in fruit? 😂

Apparently this is what people think of when they think of me now… 😂

Okie dokie, artichokie! 💚

It was my birthday last week, and one of the gifts from my beautiful sister was this ridiculously cute little artichoke plushie.

Funny story, while we were in a shop looking at jerky for dogs (yes) the owners told us people send them pics of dogs from all over the world with their jerky… and they have a whole board where they display them.

And I suddenly thought… People send me things from all over the world too.

Except mine are photos of random fruit and vegetable plushies, bizarre food paraphernalia… and p**p 😂💩 So. Much. Poo.

The owners looked at me strangely, and then laughed 😅

People will be travelling somewhere, spot a giant avocado, a weird banana, a poo shaped building or some ridiculous vegetable and apparently think: SAMMY!!

So thank you to everyone who sent birthday love last week and a HUGE happy birthday to all my fellow Leos! 🦁♌️ There seem to be SO many of us celebrating over these few weeks.

Anyway… birthday celebrations done.

Okie dokie, artichokie. Back into it! 💚

🎧 IT'S OFFICIALLY HERE!!!

"Anxiety, The Best Teacher You Never Asked For" is now an AUDIOBOOK! 🥳

Almost 6 hours of stories, anxiety, science, humour, oversharing and me talking directly into your ears. 😂

And because apparently I'm terrible at actually ASKING people for reviews…I'M LOOKING FOR 10 AUDIOBOOK REVIEWERS! 🎧

I've had so many beautiful messages from readers telling me this book made them feel seen, helped them understand anxiety differently or simply made them think:

“Wait… you too?” ❤️

Those words help the next person decide whether this might be the book they need.

So I'm giving 10 people FREE access to the entire audiobook in return for an honest review after you've listened.

🙋‍♀️ Want one?

Comment REVIEW below or DM me REVIEW and I'll send you the link + free access code.

Already read the book? I'd LOVE if you left those thoughts on Amazon or Goodreads too. ❤️

🎧 Prefer to just start listening right now? The audiobook is OUT NOW on Audible and other platforms or you can buy it directly through my website.

👉 https://www.nutritionwithsammy.com.au/anxiety-book

And if you're already a listener of "The Anxiety Compass Podcast"… well, you already know what almost 6 hours with me is going to sound like. 😂

Please share this with someone who might need to hear “me too.” ❤️

I’ve always wanted to publish a book…

I still remember my aunty saying those words to me after my own book launch almost a year ago.

Well… she did it. ❤️

This week I got to sit down and read “The Day the House Changed Size”, and it’s such a beautiful little story. Through the cutest dog characters (all inspired by dogs that have been part of her life 🐶), it gently explores how the world can suddenly feel unfamiliar, overwhelming and a little scary.

It’s something I see in my own workshops all the time. You can often feel the nervous energy when the kids first walk into the room. They’re unsure. Quiet. Hanging back.

Then, by the end, they’re laughing together, making friends and encouraging one another.

Sometimes all we need is a little connection and someone to remind us we’re not alone.

If you’ve got little people in your life, this is a gorgeous book to help start conversations about anxiety, big feelings and finding courage.

And to my Aunty… I’m so incredibly proud of you. ❤️ You had a dream tucked away in your heart, and now you’re holding it in your hands. It just goes to show that it’s never too late to create something meaningful.

I can’t wait to see what you publish next.

📚 The Day the House Changed Size is available on Amazon if you’d like to grab a copy.

I’m having a bit of an identity crisis… and I think it’s the best thing that’s happened to my business! 🥰

Today I’m heading into another podcast interview with the team who produced my audiobook, Brisbane Audiobook Production 🎙️

One thing I love about being interviewed is that great questions make you think.

Lately I’ve realised something…

I’m not just a nutritionist.

My friend Mary-Anne Vaessen pointed this out the other day when someone asked what I do.

“I’m a nutritionist,” I replied.

“No, you’re not,” she said. “You’re so much more than that!”

And she was right.

Yes, I teach people about food. But what I really do is help people reconnect with their bodies.

Helping them stop seeing their body as something that’s broken. To stop spending their lives trying to “fix” themselves or live in shame.

And instead, become curious about what their body has been trying to say all along.

Nutrition is part of my story.
But it’s never been the whole story.

The more I reflect, the more I realise my work is about rebuilding trust between people and their bodies.

And… that feels pretty exciting. 🤩

There’s so much happening behind the scenes right now, from the audiobook, to the podcast, to building a team so I can spend more time out in the community doing what I love instead of chasing algorithms. 😆

It feels like a new chapter.

I can’t wait to take you along for the ride. ❤️

🎧 I have a confession…

I think I love the audiobook even more than the book!!! ❤️

Almost a year after publishing Anxiety: The Best Teacher You Never Asked For, it’s finally becoming an audiobook!

Writing the book was one thing…

Reading my own story out loud was something completely different.

I laughed.
I cried.
I had to stop recording more than once.

Hearing the stories, the humour and the emotion in my own voice has made it feel like a whole new book.

If you’ve already read it, I genuinely think listening to it will be a completely different experience.

And if you’re someone who has told me,
“I only listen to audiobooks…”
your time has almost arrived!

The files are being uploaded to Audible and other audiobook platforms this week, so we’re getting very close.

I’ll let you know as soon as it’s live (and I’ll also have a way for you to order it directly through me if you’d prefer).

Thank you to everyone who’s supported this little dream. I honestly can’t wait for you to hear it. 🎧❤️

👇 Tell me… are you a reader or an audiobook listener?

The best therapy doesn’t always come with a price tag.

A week of slowing down reminded me that some of the best things for our nervous system are completely free.

What’s your favourite place to switch off?

I THINK THIS CUPCAKE IS TRYING TO TALK TO ME!

My sister sent me this photo of a cupcake she made and I couldn't stop smiling.

He's smiling at me! It got me thinking about how often we treat cooking as just another chore. Another meal to make, lunchbox to pack or thing to tick off the list.

But what if we brought a little more fun back into the kitchen?

More music, dancing, licking the spoon, experimenting.

And cupcakes that look like they're saying "hi there!".

The kitchen needs less pressure, perfection and shame.

Food isn't just about nourishing our bodies.

It's about creating memories, sharing laughs and sometimes making a cupcake that looks surprisingly excited to see you.

What's something you do to make cooking more fun?
