We’re not doing the usual “new year, new you” nonsense. Samantha lays out a radically practical (and deeply spiritual) approach to creating a year of focus, clarity, and momentum: start with identity, not goals.
After hosting two in-person VIP Days—whiteboard sessions where clients map everything from vision and leadership identity to team hires, fires, and brand ecosystems—Samantha noticed the same pattern: most people try to “do” their way into results… without ever becoming the person who can hold those results.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to define the identity you’re stepping into, run a 2025 Reality Check using your calendar and camera roll, and use the Be–Do–Have framework to change your self-concept so your habits (and results) stop collapsing like a cheap lawn chair.
If you want 2026 to reward you, it’s going to require discernment, discipline, and the guts to cut what drains you—even if it’s profitable.
KEY TOPICS:
Why 2026 will reward leaders who are self-led, focused, and radically clear
The real meaning of “clear your channel, change your life”
What Samantha does inside a VIP Day (identity, vision, ecosystem, team, systems)
How to define your next-level identity (sensory + embodied, not vague)
The trap of “I want a million dollars/downloads” without identity alignment
The 2025 Reality Check: using your Google Calendar + camera roll as data
The green/red method: what energized you vs. what drained you
Why you must stop keeping work just because it makes money
“Pruning” your life without making it dramatic: letting things fall away
Be–Do–Have: why behavior change fails without self-concept change
How identity creates consistency (and why “motivation” is overrated)
Samantha’s athlete story: “I became an athlete before I looked like one”
Treating your energy like a business resource—and protecting it accordingly

This is the final episode of Own It for 2025 and Samantha isn’t wrapping the year with a tidy bow… she’s calling you out and calling you forward.
This episode is about outgrowing who you used to be—and having the courage to admit it. Not intellectually. Not conceptually. But operationally. In your business. In your leadership. In your identity.
Samantha breaks down why your past isn’t something to escape—it’s data. Data that shows you exactly where you’ve been capping yourself, over-functioning, or playing a role that no longer fits. She shares personal examples of stepping out of being “everything to everyone” and into the real work of CEO-level leadership, along with client stories that expose the cost of staying stuck in outdated roles.
If you’ve been feeling burned out, restless, plateaued, or quietly resentful of the business or life you built—this episode is your permission slip to stop forcing it and promote yourself.
Because leadership isn’t about doing more.
It’s about becoming different.
🧠 Key Topics Discussed
Why true leadership starts with identity, not action
Using your past as strategic data instead of emotional baggage
The danger of staying in a role you’ve outgrown
Visionary vs. integrator roles (and why most leaders need both)
Why doing it all alone is not noble—it’s inefficient
How over-responsibility leads to burnout and stagnation
Giving yourself the promotion no one else will give you
Aligning visibility, leadership, and business strategy with your next identity
Why your business can only grow as much as you do

Most people don’t need a new funnel. They need to stop pretending. In this episode, Sam breaks down what “getting paid to be yourself” actually means—beyond the fluffy Instagram quote version. If you’re an educator, expert, speaker, podcast host, founder, or thought leader who’s been trying to be more polished, more credible, more “professional”… this is your permission slip to burn the mask and cash the check.
Samantha shares how her perfectionism (and her former life as an architect) shaped the early version of her identity—and how real wealth, visibility, and impact came after she stopped overproducing herself. You’ll hear stories from clients who scaled from survival money to real revenue when they finally owned the “taboo” parts of their brand: the intuitive gifts, the unconventional healing work, the weird quirks, the real story.
Because here’s the truth: energy doesn’t lie. People don’t want perfection. They want resonance. And resonance only happens when you stop abandoning yourself to be palatable.
If you’ve been stuck in overthinking, hiding, constant rebranding, or draining yeses—this episode is a direct hit: trust your gut, protect your energy, let joy lead, and let support in. Your people can’t find you if you’re wearing someone else’s face.
What “getting paid to be yourself” means in real-world business terms
Why perfectionism is usually a self-worth strategy in a cute outfit
Leaving the “credible” path (architecture, credentials, expectations) to follow purpose
How authenticity creates visibility, partnership opportunities, and money
Owning the “taboo” parts of your story (spiritual gifts, plant medicine, trauma-to-healing)
Why joy is the most sustainable business strategy (and the highest frequency)
The dog-video client story: when the “illogical” move becomes the growth engine
Your gut knows faster than your mind—how to actually hear intuition again
Energy hygiene: cutting out what drains you so you can access your channel
Why constant rebrands are often a symptom of identity instability
The cost of self-abandonment (and why you can’t build a brand on betrayal)
Collaboration, support, and the end of “doing it alone” as the new leadership era
Using podcasting as thought leadership architecture to build legacy and resonance
Becoming a lighthouse: being more you so your people can finally find you

This episode is a switch-up: Samantha is the one in the hot seat, interviewed by her dear friend Dr. Onalee Makam, for a grounded, honest conversation about relationships—and what it actually takes to call in a true life partner.
If you’ve ever said, “Love has been hard,” or “There aren’t any good men,” or “No one can handle me,” this is your gentle (but firm) reality check. Samantha pulls back the curtain on the real process behind meeting her husband, Kurt: the mindset rewiring, the nervous system work, the identity shift, and the practical action that gets skipped when people reduce love to “just make a list.”
You’ll hear why healthy relationship examples matter, how Samantha’s “ask hot guys out” era helped her expose anxious attachment patterns, and why your relationship won’t thrive if your partner is your only source of emotional oxygen. This is a conversation about safety, self-respect, magnetism, and building a life so full you’re not begging love to complete it.
If you want a relationship that feels like two best friends on the same team—this one will expand what you believe is possible.

Has your nervous system been saying, “Ma’am, we are at capacity” ?
On today’s episode, Sam talks candidly about hitting her upper limits in real time: leading a rapidly growing podcast company, holding big vision with God, navigating marriage and support with Kurt, and realizing her biggest challenge isn’t more… it’s learning how to hold more. From full-body meltdowns to bath-time cries to realizing she still struggles to ask for help, Samantha walks you through how she’s navigating this season instead of pretending she has the polished three-step solution.
Using fitness, ultra-running, and lifting as metaphors, she breaks down how growth actually works: your “muscles” tear first, then you rebuild stronger. You’ll hear how she’s zooming out to make smarter decisions, building team and systems, and learning to trust herself, God, and her capacity — while reminding you that your limit is probably a lot higher than you think.
If you’re in a season of rapid expansion, big opportunities, and “good problems” that still feel like a lot, this one will feel like a deep exhale and a firm hand on your back saying: You’re not crazy, you’re just growing.
Key Topics Discussed
What it really feels like to hit your max capacity as a founder and leader
The difference between wanting more and being resourced to hold more
Nervous system tools, regulation, and why your body “freaks out” when things explode
Preparing your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual body for a bigger mission
A birthday honey roast, a long speaker day, and the bathtub breakdown that cracked things open
Learning to fully receive support from a partner (without guilt or flinching)
The deeper challenge of asking for help when you don’t even know what you need
Being the “go-to” friend… and realizing you also get to lean on your people
In the business vs. on the business: zooming out to strategize, hire, and systematize
The isolating side of “everything is working” and the pressure of holding fast growth
Operating from your “next level” identity and bringing her into your current reality
Why your perceived capacity is usually way lower than your actual capacity
Fitness and ultra-running as a mirror for business resilience and self-trust
Overcommitting, rescheduling, and releasing the shame of moving things on your calendar
Learning to batch, build systems, and create white space to think
Differentiating between energy faucets (what fills you) and drains (what leaks you)
The slingshot effect: pulling back to reset so you can break through the next ceiling
Share this episode with your overachiever friends. Know a founder, leader, or creator who’s quietly drowning in “good problems”? Text them this episode so they know they’re not the only one maxing out and moving through it.
Reflect on your real capacity. Grab a journal and ask: What’s actually draining me? What’s truly filling me? Where am I underestimating my ability to hold more? Use this as a starting point to adjust your commitments, support, and systems.
Audit your support systems. Ask yourself: Where am I resisting help? Who could I lean on more — partner, friends, team, God? Then actually send the text or have the conversation you’ve been avoiding.

→ Apply to the Thought Leader Accelerator You’re not invisible because you’re underqualified. You’re simply under-expressed. Samantha pulls back the curtain on why high-achieving women (and plenty of men) stay stuck in “best-kept secret” mode, tracing the sabotage back to childhood patterns of peace-keeping, perfectionism, and staying small.
Samantha breaks down the emotional and strategic roots of visibility—why your business keeps hitting a glass ceiling, why your boldest ideas stay stuck in drafts, and why your public presence doesn’t yet match your private brilliance. You’ll learn how internalized humility becomes a brand problem, why visibility is a practiced skill (not a personality trait), and what it takes to step into true thought leadership with clarity, conviction, and volume.
If you’re ready to stop hiding, start leading, and build a brand around your voice—not your fears—this episode hands you the first moves.

Do you have to choose between God and spirituality? After a TikTok video on this topic went viral—7,000+ likes and over 1,700 comments—Sam brings the conversation to the podcast to unpack what people are really feeling: a longing for truth, unity, and a spiritual identity that integrates both God and energy, intuition, and personal evolution.
Sam shares her journey growing up Catholic, discovering intuitive gifts, rejecting rigid religious structures, and ultimately realizing that God and New Age spirituality are not opposites—they are interconnected. This episode explores intuition, leadership, past lives, mission, calling, and why so many leaders are waking up to a “both/and” paradigm that doesn’t fit neatly into old boxes.
If you’ve ever felt caught between religion and spirituality, repelled by dogma yet deeply connected to God, or if you’re a leader who knows your mission is bigger than you… this episode will hit home.
KEY TOPICS DISCUSSED
Why so many people feel torn between God and spirituality
The divide between religion, New Age spirituality, and the “awakening” happening right now
Intuition as a spiritual gift—and how everyone has it
How leaders are being “called” into deeper purpose and mission
Why old structures are collapsing and what that means for 2026
The role of God (or Source/Universe) in thought leadership and creative expression
How surrender, listening, and co-creation accelerate your mission
Using prayer, nature, and presence to hear divine guidance
Why your next direction often won’t come from your mind
How God works through other people, teams, and collaboration
Stepping into your calling even when it feels terrifying
The deeper spiritual message behind virality, collective resonance, and the BOTH/AND movement

Welcome to the very first episode of Own It! After a powerful period of evolution, the podcast has its final, most embodied name, and this is the episode that defines the entire movement.

It's about understanding that in order to be a true leader, you cannot be a people-pleaser.

For the first time, Samantha is peeling back the layers of her "put together" persona to share a raw, unfiltered, and deeply vulnerable update on what's really been going on in her life and business.

There's a massive difference between being an influencer and being an influential leader, and that difference is costing you trust, impact, and sales. If you're tired of just getting "likes" and want to build real authority, this episode is your wake-up call. An influencer has followers; an influential person has TRUST. One posts daily; the other shows up daily to solve real problems. It's time to decide which one you are.
In this fiery solo episode, Samantha Warren breaks down the critical identity shift from "influencer" to "influential leader." She explains why a personal brand built on just "vibes" and lifestyle will never create the legacy you're here for. This is a masterclass in showing up with a clear message, solving a specific problem, and building the consistency and character that earns you trust. PLUS, another big announcement: the podcast is making its final, most aligned name change yet to Own the Spotlight.

If you are a woman who wants to make more money, break generational curses, and create overflowing wealth for yourself, this episode will change your life. In this potent and deeply personal solo episode, Samantha is giving you the codes to completely transform your financial reality. She gets vulnerable about her own journey with money—from growing up feeling entitled and like a "victim of money" to making the powerful decision to take control and build her own wealth.
This isn't your typical money mindset talk. Samantha introduces the concept of "codes"—the beliefs and skills we inherit around money—and teaches you how to learn the ones you were never given. She breaks down the simple truth that money is merely an exchange for your contribution and that your voice is the most powerful tool you have to create it. This episode is a permission slip and an empowering slap on the butt to stop letting excuses rule your vision, reclaim your financial sovereignty, and decide, once and for all, to create the life of overflow you deserve.
💅 HERE’S THE DEETS:
00:00 The Bold Promise: This episode will change your life and your relationship with money.
02:24 Samantha's Confession: Her journey of feeling like a "victim of money" and not knowing she could create her own.
04:32 The Turning Point: The single decision that changed her entire financial reality.
05:34 The "Codes" Framework: The skills and beliefs we inherit around money (and how to learn new ones).
08:58 The Historical Context: Why women have been systemically kept from financial power (and why it's time to change that).

What if procrastination isn't a character flaw, but a powerful signal from your body? In this game-changing solo episode, Samantha drops a massive truth bomb: Procrastination isn't real. It's your body's way of protecting you from a path, project, or decision that your soul doesn't actually want. If you've been forcing yourself to do things that feel heavy and draining, this episode is your permission slip to stop.
Samantha breaks down the critical difference between making decisions from your mind (logic, scarcity, ego) versus your heart and soul (purpose, life force, joy). She shares her own real-time story of procrastinating on a business offer and the immense relief that came from finally admitting she didn't want to do it. Learn to differentiate between misalignment-resistance and fear-based resistance, and discover why your work should give you energy, not drain it. PLUS, get the exciting, first-ever announcement of a new, in-person weekend immersion coming this fall—an experience designed for leaders who are ready to move their bodies and break through to their next level.
💅 HERE’S THE DEETS
The Core Thesis (00:00): Procrastination isn't real; it's your body telling you that you don't actually want to do something.
Heart vs. Mind (01:00): Why soul-work cannot be fueled by the logical, scarcity-based mind.
The Litmus Test (02:14): Your business and soul work should GIVE you energy and ignite your soul.
The Big Reframe (03:34): When you truly want to do something, you will do it. Procrastination is the absence of that desire.
The Relief Test (05:00): How to know you're misaligned: you feel immediate relief at the thought of NOT doing the thing.
The Nuance (07:00): Differentiating procrastination (I don't want this) from fear (I want this, but I'm scared).
The Announcement (12:41): Samantha is hosting a new, in-person, movement-focused weekend immersion.
The Immersion Philosophy (15:21): Why physical challenge is the key to massive breakthroughs in business and life.
The Primary CTA (18:51): Get on the email list—it's the #1 place for all announcements and connections.
The Final Word (23:13): Your body is telling you what's right. You don't need to do things in a way that feels draining or heavy.

Feeling like your old identity is falling away, but the new one isn't fully formed yet? You're not alone—you're right on time. In this enlightening and incredibly timely episode, Samantha is joined by expert astrologer Alicia to give you the ultimate "cheat code" for navigating the massive energetic shifts of 2025. They dive deep into why this year is so pivotal, with multiple generational planets changing signs, and what the current Virgo-Pisces eclipse season is asking of all of us: to SURRENDER.
This conversation is your guide to understanding the cosmic forces at play. Alicia breaks down the powerful themes of this eclipse season—releasing the lower vibrations of Virgo (perfectionism, self-criticism, over-complication) and stepping into the high-frequency energy of Pisces (compassion, spirituality, one-consciousness). They discuss why these astrological shifts are perfectly aligned with the collective's move toward a new paradigm of leadership, the "flattening of structures," and the rise of the "New Earth." If you're ready to stop resisting, lean into the messy middle, and use this potent energy to uplevel your life, this episode is your anchor.
