What if the life you've carefully planned isn't the one you're meant to live?
There's this moment that happens when you're living someone else's version of your life. You might not even realize it at first. You're checking all the boxes, following the plan, doing what you're supposed to do. But something feels off. Something feels hollow. Maybe you've felt it too. That gnawing sense that the dreams you've been chasing might not actually be yours.
That's exactly what happened to our guest today. Picture this: you're 22, fresh out of college with a prestigious degree, job offers waiting, and the golden path to success stretched out in front of you. Then you fall in love while studying abroad and suddenly everything you thought you wanted feels like someone else's story.
Today our guest is Samantha Smith, an entrepreneur and personal brand strategist who helps women build authentic businesses around their unique gifts. She's built a successful coaching practice and podcast after walking away from everything that looked right on paper to follow what felt right in her heart.
