The Samantha Parker Show

We are diving into women's health with Stacy Welker, a Nurse Practitioner with a functional medicine certification. Why does Western Medicine often skip over women’s health? They are vital to our health; when they are off, it can feel like you are going crazy. It’s not you; it’s your hormones. We spill about the ride women's hormones can take you on monthly, the impact of toxins on our bodies, and how to rock those golden years with style and grace! If you aren’t feeling right, it might be time to leave those standard labs behind and seek a hormone specialist. You don’t have to suffer through any stage of life with the proper support. Stacy’s goal is to educate everyone about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and help us feel like our best selves as we journey through the different stages of life. She's all about that personalized approach, using tests like urinary metabolite and saliva testing to understand our unique hormone levels and pointing out the need for a more comprehensive medical evaluation. Standard labs may put you in the healthy range, but it doesn't give you the whole picture. There may be something hiding beyond what Western Medicine is able or willing to test for. She drops some real truth bombs about environmental factors messing with our hormones and credits using non-toxic beauty products for a healthier balance. We're discussing finding the right lifestyle groove to keep those hormone levels in check and make aging feel good. Stacy's got your back if you're looking for ways to manage hormonal changes. From feeling good through hormone-related libido issues to her approach to aging confidently, this episode is packed with easy tips and wisdom to get you feeling better in no time. So, grab your favorite beverage and join Stacy and me as we chat about the phase of womanhood together! Because we all know, this wasn’t something they taught us about in school.

Join us for a candid conversation delving deep into conspiracy theories, the media's sway on our beliefs, and our journeys of self-discovery. I'm here with Heather Mongie, a real estate agent and the brain behind The Alchemy Guide, as she opens up about her quest for authenticity, grappling with surrender and trust. From mushroom trips to encounters with aliens and Disneyland adventures to political rabbit holes, we're not holding back. We reflect on our past "drinking the Kool-Aid" fed to us by the media and how we've since learned to question what we're told. We share our journeys with personal growth and belief systems. We find joy in surrendering to our true selves, even as we share stories of spotting things of the unknown in the sky and our psychedelic experiences. Heather's insights into alchemical transformation and commercial real estate offer inspiration to embrace change until we find our true calling. Energy manipulation and manifestation, navigating a world rich with diverse belief systems and the alchemy of personal growth. Join us for a conversation that challenges assumptions and invites open-minded curiosity. Connect with Heather on Instagram @its.heathermogie Connect with Sam on Instagram or TikTok

Amie's journey into activism against human trafficking started unexpectedly after her daughter became a victim to the sex trafficking ring. Living a life filled with family, fitness, and community involvement, everything changed overnight when her daughter took a trip with her friends to Las Vegas. Reflecting on the years leading up to her daughters abduction, Amie realizes there were red flags they missed. Now, she's passionate about educating others to recognize warning signs. We never think something like this could be happening around our home towns. When her daughter was taken, it shook her family to the core. They stayed up nights, tirelessly searching for answers. Despite the lack of support from a few local government agencies, the family refused to give up. Eventually, an organization reached out, offering much-needed assistance. Amie's mission now includes dispelling misconceptions about human trafficking. She believes education is key to understanding its pervasive nature. Looking ahead, she advocates for proactive measures locally and globally. Through her fitness business and the "Save the Next Girl Boy" movement, Amie continues her fight. While taking time to heal, she remains dedicated to raising awareness and organizing events to support survivors and prevent future victimization. Grab some tissues as this is an episode that is a real look behind the curtain of human trafficking and getting Amie’s daughter back home after 6 weeks.

From the highs of crossing that finish line to the lows of shin splints, we've spilled the tea on how running can change your life. Even if you aren’t a runner, you will take inspiration to push to that next finish line. We're not just here to talk about pounding the pavement, though.

Jess and I get real about the mental side of things, too. Chatting about body image, motherhood, and how running has helped us tackle some of life's curveballs head-on. Including her taking on marathons after her divorce, the first one without training beforehand. Hold my beer! I got this!

Somatic therapy is like a fusion of psychology and getting in touch with your body’s vibes. Today, Jennie Pool from Mend Counseling is spilling the tea on how to use simple somatic techniques to work through anxiety and depression. Your body is a storage unit for all the stuff life throws at you, good and bad. And sometimes, we need to shake off some of this survival energy! That's where somatic therapy comes in to save the day. Forget about cookie-cutter therapy approaches. Somatic therapy is all about finding what works for you and your body. Maybe it's some tapping, a little movement there, or even just a big yawn. It’s a simple, personalized journey for your body's healing. And, hey, have you heard about psychedelic-assisted therapy? Yeah, it's the new wave, but you have the right person facilitating the experience. If done correctly, these can release a lot of stored trauma and allow space for new patterns, behaviors, and things to come into your life. At Mend Counseling Center in St. George, Utah, Jennie uses somatic therapy to take center stage. With a focus on progressive modalities, Mend offers both in-person and telehealth sessions, recognizing the accessibility and efficacy of somatic techniques beyond the confines of a physical office. As interest in somatic therapy grows, Mend remains at the forefront, providing therapists and clients with the tools and training needed to move through stuck trauma patterns. So, if you're ready to untangle the mess of life's craziness and dig into serious healing, somatic therapy might just be what you are looking for. Join us as we break open somatic therapy.

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a cycle of stress and anxiety, despite being told to just take a pill and power through it? The pain of feeling overwhelmed and burned out is all too real when traditional solutions fall short. But what if there's a holistic approach that can bring balance and resilience back into your life? Find out how acupuncture could be the missing piece in your journey to well-being as we are joined by Janene Borandi, a knowledgeable acupuncturist with a PhD. Feeling burnt out and unfulfilled, she knew something had to change. Janene shares with us how she left her “cushy” government job that left her feeling empty to pursue a career that filled her cup. With a career in holistic healthcare, she has a desire to address stress and anxiety through alternative approaches and change the way medicine is practiced. Things need to be looked at from a holistic perspective, not a textbook perspective. And that starts with understanding who you are an what you want in your life. In this unhinged conversation we dig into the significance of mental health in holistic healing and offers strategies for avoiding burnout, particularly relevant for female entrepreneurs seeking a balanced approach to well-being. Let’s embrace the human experience and join in advocating for Holistic Medicine! Connect with Sam on Instagram or TikTok

We are spilling the tea on all the things, from swinger's parties to breaking down diet culture. From hilarious house party mishaps to deep conversations about personal growth, we're covering it all. So how did Jenn end up working for me? She saw an opportunity, seized it, and now she's soaking up all the knowledge like a sponge. She had been hanging out in my DM’s and was ready to speak up when I posted that I was looking for help. That's the power of believing in yourself. You need this real talk about thick skin and social media games. It’s not easy, but Jenn's learning the ropes. Authenticity is at the core of everything we do.

This has been a game-changer in my life, and I think you need to start doing this too. I’m talking about giving ourselves the damn permission we deserve to have what we desire. I've been on this wild ride of self-discovery, realizing how much I've held back, all thanks to that pesky inner mean girl. You know that little voice? Yeah, the one that says, "No, Sam, you're not good enough for that." Well, I've learned to kick that voice to the curb and take charge of my own destiny. It's all about letting ourselves have what we want without the guilt, shame, or going through that exhausting cycle. Because we are awesome! I'm spilling the glitter on my own experiences and sharing about the times I held back, the fears that almost stopped me, and how I learned to shut down that negative self-talk. And guess what? You can do it too! No matter where you are in life, it's time to ask yourself, "Is this what I really want?" Spoiler alert: You're a grown-ass adult, and you can do whatever the heck you want. We're breaking free from societal expectations, embracing the power of saying, "Yes, I'm going all in." From my wild dreams of breeding million-dollar chickens while flying our jets around, we are in this together. So, how do you really end these cycles? It’s about creating space, checking in, taking action, holding yourself accountable, and repeating it forever. Trust me; this isn't just another motivational talk because you’ve heard enough of those by now. It's real, it's raw, and it's time for you to give yourself permission to be the main character in your dream life! So, buckle up, baddies, as we conquer that inner mean girl and design a life that screams, "Hell yeah, this is what I want! Connect with Sam on Instagram or TikTok

Amie and I both share our experiences, from connecting with moms at a birthday party to bonding over shared interests with the local restaurant owner. It's a real bathroom conversation with your bestie about the challenges of forging meaningful friendships at our age, but we're all in this together, right? No girl bestie bathroom conversation would be complete without a little smut, smut conversation. And don’t tell us that you haven’t gotten attached and all revved up from a spicy book series.

I'm joined by the amazing Cyndee Jacobson, the founder of Quantum Bliss in Southern Utah. She shares her incredible journey, from her experiences running Quantum Bliss Co, to navigating through health scares and almost losing her own life, more than once. Her firsthand account is nothing short of astonishing, as she recounts breath-taking moments of clarity during a medical emergency and a life-altering near-death experience. And of course, no bestie conversation would be complete without talking about the healing power of psychedelics, the power of ketamine for pain management, and the profound impact of meditation. Cyndee's insights into using specialized equipment to unlock her mind and heal her body are truly remarkable, and they've left a lasting impression on me. But the real healing starts with losing her husband and the devastating loss of their son. On her mission to start seeking more joy, Cyndee bought the biggest truck and RV she could and set off on a journey living on the road with her kids, where they encountered wild horses and visited national parks. We are spilling the tea on resilience, trauma, and the quest for joy. Her determination and strength through adversity are truly inspiring. Get ready for a heart-wrenching and uplifting conversation about the true story of the resilience of the human spirit. Let’s go on a remarkable journey through the highs and lows of life, as we uncover the power of hope, healing, and the pursuit of joy.
