Sam Stewart, She survived breast cancer, an abusive marriage, financial ruin, a failed suicide attempt, body dysmorphia and much more, rises to the top and is back on her feet with purpose.
If Oprah Winfrey, Brené Brown and Joan of Arc somehow managed to have a lovechild together, the result would most likely be Cape Town’s Sam Stewart (43), as these women each display some of the remarkable characteristics that Sam has to share with the world; ultimate bravery, survivor of the worst that life can possibly throw your way, and a willingness to be a shining beacon of hope for those who believe there is no escaping the shadows.
Upon hearing her life story, one has to ask how one person is able to make it through the harshest of what life can possibly dish out – and not only survive, but flourish!
She was diagnosed with breast cancer, endured the brutality of an abusive marriage that crushed her self-worth, and lost everything financially that she had worked so hard to achieve. Samantha also battled body dysmorphia, and survived a suicide attempt. All of these shaped who she is today as she survived breast cancer.

Be Unique, be YOU, nobody can be YOU…and so we hear these quotes daily, but what does it really mean to Embrace your Authenticity? Many years ago I attended a conference and the theme was Be different and show up as YOU. For me, at that point in my life, it was a no-brainer of […]
