The Hard Journey

Samantha Lyn and I date back to 2010. She has always been my best friend, near and far. She'd lead me and mentored me through a lot. My friendship with Samantha has taught me many things, It's so important to be there for your friends. To push them, and pull them back, because you never know what someone could be dealing with.


Samantha has always been a bright and giggly light in my life! I have been able to share my Radical Self Love Journey 3 times over with this woman. We continue to inspire one another every day.

Samantha has so many major accomplishments.

This girl has a entire wall of achievements. She, more then anyone, has shown me personally that nothing can stop you or get in your way. Samantha is a prime example of the amazing things you can do when you love yourself.


During one of our seasons where we didn't hear much from each other, a lot changed in Samantha's life.
