Advertise on podcast: Just Do You With Lisa Sam

On June 12th, I embarked on Project 365, committing to show my face on Instagram every day for a year. This commitment not only aimed to enhance my online presence but also to boost my confidence in speaking on camera. It was during this project that I realized the importance of consistency and the liberation found in embracing progress over perfection. Proud of my consistency with showing up for 40 days straight, I wondered how else I could build on this positive trajectory. So, I initiated a 60-day journaling challenge. The ripple effects that followed were unexpected but very welcome.

From the outside, his life seemed perfect — beautiful family, big house, two cars, great job. But in reality, his life was crumbling from the inside. In today's episode, my friend Steve Holly is completely open and honest about how his people-pleasing and inauthentic living led to an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Through therapy, honest reflection, and embracing authenticity, Steve has made building genuine connections a priority in his life. It's been a long journey and lots of hard work, but he can now look at himself in the mirror with self-love and pride. I hope today's episode helps open doors to more, much-needed conversations about men's mental health. Just Do You With Lisa Sam Podcast (@justdoyouwithlisasam) • Instagram photos and videos

I wrote it in my journal, but this was my first time saying it out loud into the universe.

Sometimes things don't go as planned because they're meant to turn out even better! What started out as a test run for the video podcasting app ended up being a wonderful, organic conversation.

In this episode, Genna and I discuss the journey of podcasting, the importance of authenticity, and the power of community. We touch on personal growth through life transitions, the significance of women's circles, and the challenges of facing fears and embracing change. Thank you for joining us in this raw and authentic conversation between friends.

Because the beauty of life isn't having all the answers - it's about showing up anyway, trusting yourself, and believing that everything will fall into place. So if you're ready to do what makes you happy - even when you don't have it all figured out, hit follow and join me for JUST DO YOU.
