Addiction took Samantha from meth to motherhood, DJ booths to jail cells—and back again. This is her raw, unfiltered story of redemption.
🎙 In this episode of The Willpower Podcast, Samantha Lander joins host Will Gordon to share her unbelievable journey from homelessness and a federal prison sentence to becoming a functional diagnostic nutritionist helping women heal.
💥 Samantha opens up about:
Relapsing after 13 years sober
Navigating addiction while battling infertility and postpartum challenges
Facing a SWAT raid after selling drugs in LA
Finding emotional healing in federal prison
Reclaiming her purpose through gut health and sober living
🧠 She breaks down how gut health and hormone imbalances can derail recovery—and how alcohol, even in small amounts, wreaks havoc on the body and mind.
🌱 Now sober and thriving, Samantha runs a wellness business, throws alcohol-free events, and helps others find peace through functional health and nutritional therapy.
