What if the discomfort you’re feeling in business isn’t a red flag… but a rite of passage? In this episode, Sam unpacks the “sticky middle” of growth, the identity shifts, leadership edges, and uncomfortable expansions that happen right before your next level unlocks. From leaving the coaching industry to building a media company, she shares the real-time lessons of delegation, direct communication, and releasing control.

If you’re in a season where your business feels tight, unclear, or like it’s stretching you beyond who you’ve been, this conversation will help you reframe the pain as proof that expansion is happening. This episode is for founders, creatives, and leaders who know they’re outgrowing their current identity and are ready to step into something bigger.

• Discomfort is often confirmation that expansion is underway.

• Delegation isn’t loss of control — it’s multiplication of capacity.

• Leadership requires clarity and directness, not self-doubt.

• Growth may cost old identities — but it makes space for aligned opportunities.

• You don’t have to shrink into one box. You are allowed to expand into multiple expressions of who you are.
