CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES

Meet SAMANTHA (SAMMIE) DE MARCO: “Just flashed in front. Ascene from Forest Gump. “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know whatyou’re going to get.” Relevancy? Sammie De Marco. I didn’t really know what toexpect. I did my journalistic diligence. What I found is an amazing, grounded,poignant woman, warmly, broadly smiling, but having lived through narcissisticabuse, sexual assault, trauma, divorce, and the difficult loss of her mom.Sammie took this interview on a resilience journey. I learned a lot from andabout her. She’s writing a book and is poised to become a certified life coachin practice. Her message resonated like her engaging persona. And carefully woveninto our interview is nostalgia and 90’s boyband concerts (Backstreet Boys).This nostalgia helps her balance the weight of trauma and grief. Commonalityabounds. Jersey shore. Dogs. Divorce. Powerful stuff as is Sammie and her wayof inspiring.” Calvin

BIO: At 40 years old, I still feel like a teenager atheart—especially when I’m front row at a 90s boyband concert, VIP pass in hand,reliving the music and memories that shaped me. Nostalgia isn’t just a hobbyfor me; it’s healing. Whether I’m at a Backstreet Boys show or a 90sconvention, I find joy in reconnecting with the best parts of my childhood andbringing that positivity into my adult life.

But my story isn’t just about concerts and meet-and-greets.I’ve faced my share of hardships—trauma at different stages; betweennarcissistic abuse, sexual assault, religious trauma, the devastating loss ofmy mom 5 years ago, and now, navigating a painful divorce from the person Ionce considered my forever, I have had to learn how to be resilient. Losing mymom was a defining moment that split my life in two: before and after. She wasmy rock, my best friend, and the person who taught me that strength isn’t aboutavoiding pain—it’s about finding joy despite it.

I wasn’t always that person. Anxiety ruled my life foryears, but through loss, I’ve learned how to hold space for both grief and joy.I now live by the belief that while we can’t control the hardships life throwsour way, we can absolutely choose to create more of the good. For me, thatmeans dancing, cheering, soaking in all things 90s, and sharing my story in thehopes that it helps someone else feel less alone.

I’m passionate about normalizing conversations around mentalhealth and personal resilience. As a certified life coach with training inmindset shifting techniques, I know firsthand how powerful it is to reframe ourstruggles and take ownership of our happiness. While I’m not currently runninga coaching business, it’s a dream I plan to build—because our stories, nomatter how messy, have the power to inspire.

No matter what it is that I do, I bring my full self:nostalgic fangirl, survivor, and someone who believes in turning pain intopurpose.
