In this episode of Building HER, I sit down with my mentor, friend, and soul sister Samantha Daily to talk about what it really looks like to build a wildly successful business without sacrificing your peace, relationships, or future family.Samantha is a Spiritual Business & Mindset Coach, certified Past Life Regression Practitioner & top podcast host from New York. Her journey into the world of self-development began after she graduated college and decided to take the untraditional path by turning down her corporate job offers and moving to Europe.

Now, as a professional coach she helps women all over the world rewire their subconscious minds, build successful businesses, attract love & money, and manifest their dreams by empowering them with elite mindset tools and powerful daily rituals.We start with the story of Sam inviting her clients into her actual home (yes, like inside her condo) and why creating depth, intimacy, and “real life” connection in a digital coaching world matters more than ever.
