In this new series, Sam explores how she found safety in sexual expression.  Five years ago, she felt disconnected from her own sexuality and body, numb, pressured by expectation, sexually closed and wondering if she just wasn’t a sexual person.  Now, she feels so alive and expressive, empowered, and joyful in her sexual expression.  In this series, she breaks down some of the tools, practices, and mindset shifts that helped her make this truly incredible transformation.  In this episode, Sam discusses how essential it is to be honest with yourself and what you want to feel empowered sexually.  If you don’t feel comfortable saying “no” to anything or anyone that doesn’t feel right, than you won’t trust your yes either.  To feel truly empowered sexually, you need to know how you are feeling and be able to articulate it.  Because if you can’t trust yourself to articulate what you want or need, there will be a part of you that always feels on-guard because you won’t know if you are safe.  In this episode, Sam also discusses using discernment when selecting partners, navigating people pleasing and disappointment, and how to expand your ability to know what you are feeling.

In this new series, Spirituality 101, Sam explores foundational concepts of spirituality and mysticism.  Though this content is great for folks having a spiritual or psychic awakening (whether it be your first or one of many), this series is supportive and engaging for anyone on a spiritual path.  Just because it is foundational does not mean it is elementary.  We live in an energy universe.  Each of us are made of energy and vibrate at a specific frequency.  That internal frequency influences our external reality.  Though it is not by any means the only factor influencing our lives, your vibration is something you have control over, and a way to influence and shift your lived experience.   In this episode, Sam explores ways to raise your vibration and increase your magnetism.  There are many ways to do this.  Sam argues that the most effective ways relate to embodiment, feeling and expressing your spectrum of emotions, and living out of the heart.  Connecting sincerely with yourself, your body, and your emotions, and allowing love to flow through you, for yourself and for others, allows you to radically shift and heighten your vibrational frequency.

Play and discipline - although seemingly opposites - go hand and hand. You can better achieve play through allowing some joyful discipline in your life, and you can better achieve your goals by applying discipline when you are also allowing play. In today's episode, Sam explores what discipline based in values and joy looks like (versus the old model of head-down grit at all costs). She makes a case for the benefit of joyful discipline for facilitating more play in your life, as it creates the safety and structure that makes relaxing into play feel good and supported. She discusses the importance of removing self-worth from the equation of play and discipline. Sam also suggests that play is the fastest way of achieving your goals and allows you to apply discipline towards your goals more effectively.

Transformation is inevitable. It is part of being alive. But there is a special power to stepping into transformation - with choice and surrender - and fully allowing it to take you wherever you need to go next. Transformation asks you to surrender aspects of your identity, life, and sense of self to upgrade to a more authentic version of yourself. In this episode, Sam interviews Libby Christenson, leadership coach, about transformation. Libby has walked through several transformations in her life - sobriety, career shifts, relationship endings, health crisis, and maturation in her identity - and has gained a lot of wisdom from those experiences. She also professionally supports others in massive transformations. Sam and Libby discuss: - How transformation brings up resistance, and the importance of surrendering to the unknown - How to navigate painful transformations and find ease and joy in them - The magic that awaits you on the other side of big transformations - Choosing yourself and authenticity during big life changes - Developing confidence and a sense of safety despite outer turmoil and instability - Practical tools for navigating transformation WORK WITH LIBBY: Libby is a phenomenal coach.

In this episode, Sam is channeling for the first time on the podcast (at least, channeling in this way).  Channeling is a way of connecting with consciousness and intelligent energy outside this earthly realm.  We live in an energetic universe, and channeling is a means to communicating and expressing this energy. In this channeled message, our collective guides share all about the importance of the body as a tool: Your body is a tool for information and is more sophisticated and intelligent than most people realize.  It is like an antenna.  It is always taking on information and can guide you to the correct things, people, circumstances. How to expand your connection to your body through open communication and curiosity with your body.  What to do when you are getting overwhelmed as you become more sensitive. If you want to learn more about channeling, check out Episode 33 - Communicating with the Spirit Realm with Emily the Medium.   If you want to connect with your own guides, book a Clarity Call and note in the intake form that you’d like to focus on channeling, and we can dive into your channeling specifically for you.  JOIN THE NEWSLETTER:  Join the Wild River Newsletter and get personal updates, helpful resources, and information about Sam’s work.  Join the Newsletter here.  LEAVE A MESSAGE for the show!  Call 206-590-1030 and leave a 30 second voice message with any question, comment, or story about the Wild River podcast.  Sam will play messages on future episodes and respond to them!  Click here for more info.   WORK WITH SAM: Book a Clarity Call with Sam, her signature 75 minute session, or check out Sunbeam Coaching for ongoing support.  CONTACT SAM: Get in touch with Sam by emailing her at [email protected] or messaging her on Instagram at @wildriver 

Under nearly every reaction - whether it be anger, contraction, avoidance, exploding, or judgment - is another, more vulnerable emotion. When you understand the underlying emotion that is driving your reactions, you have the opportunity to move forward with awareness and support yourself for your entire feelings, rather than react from the wound. In this episode, Sam explores how to do this. She walks through different examples of reacting, and how to explore what is going on underneath the surface that is contributing to the reaction. She describes the process for this type of inner inquiry and what to do with the information, as well as why it is so valuable to expand your awareness in this way. *NOTE that Sam does say a few swear words in this episode, in the case that you want to be mindful about who is listening along with you.
