You are the expert on your own experience.

In this week’s episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, Robyn Harris of W·I·L·D® Wellbeing reminds us that trauma is subjective — how it lives in your body is unique to you. Even the best doctor knows the medical side of things, but they don’t know the road you’ve walked and are still walking. Only you do.

This one’s a gentle nudge to trust yourself a little more today.

Did you know the EU bans over 1,300 ingredients in cosmetics… and the US only bans 11? 😳

This week on Thursday Tea with Sami, I sat down with Lynn Power, founder of Masami MASAMI hair Ⓥ , Isle de Nature Isle de Nature , and Power Beauty Collab Power Beauty Collab , to talk about what “clean beauty” actually means and how to start transitioning your routine without overhauling everything at once.

We talked about the three ingredients to watch for first, why natural doesn’t always mean safe, and the surprising link between stress and skin health (psychodermatology is a real field, y’all).

“It’s not just organizing. It’s problem solving”
That line from Tina O’Keeffe stopped me in my tracks. Because how many of us have felt stuck — not just in our spaces, but because of them?
This week on Thursday Tea with Sami, Tina and I dive into how your
environment impacts your stress, your mental clarity, and your daily life. And more importantly - what you can actually do about it.

Would you tell a 5-year-old who was panicking that you don’t have time for them? 😮
That’s exactly what we do to ourselves when we ignore anxiety. 💛
In this week’s episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, .co breaks down why anxiety isn’t your enemy — it’s a signal trying to get your attention. And the sooner we stop ignoring it, the sooner we can actually heal.

One year of Thursday Tea with Sami and I am so grateful.
What started as a vision to make wellness and mental health feel approachable and human has grown into something so much more meaningful than I ever expected. Real conversations. Real lessons. Real connection.
This anniversary episode is extra special to me — released on my grandfather’s birthday, the person who unknowingly planted the seeds for everything this podcast stands for.
Over this past year, here’s what I keep coming back to:
✨ Hope is something you build
✨ Connection is something you need
✨ Healing is not linear — and that’s okay
✨ Small steps are still progress
If you’ve been here for one episode or every single one — thank you. You are part of this and it means everything.
The anniversary episode is out now. Go grab your tea and let’s celebrate together.

If you’ve ever wondered how mental health and lifestyle habits come together to shape our overall well-being, this is a conversation you might enjoy.

I recently had the opportunity to be interviewed by Authority Magazine in a thoughtful discussion with Dr. Sonya Reddy. We talked about sustainable habits, everyday choices, and how small shifts can make a meaningful difference in how we feel and function.

Thank you to Authority Magazine and Dr. Sonya Reddy for creating space for this conversation.

We humans are wired for connection. We tend to do better when we are around others, and we often struggle more when we isolate. Connecting…
