About me

🌿 Rooted in Story. Rising in Purpose.

🌱 Who Am I?

Hi, I’m Sam! 🙂

I’m a woman on a journey of healing, motherhood, and rediscovering my purpose. Rooted & Rising is where I share my honest stories and reflections about overcoming life’s challenges, embracing personal growth, and navigating the beautiful chaos of parenting.

Along the way, I’ve experienced the raw reality of being divorced, hitting rock bottom, and rebuilding my life. Through it all, I became a mother to two incredible kids, welcomed two stepchildren into my heart, and added another child to the mix. Amidst the beautiful chaos, I also started an online business — a journey of reinvention and finding balance.

This blog is where I open up about all of it, and I hope that, in sharing my story, you find comfort, inspiration, and the strength to rise in your own journey.

🌿 Why This Blog?
This space was born from my own experiences of transformation, healing, and learning to rise after difficult seasons. Whether you’re a mom finding balance, someone healing from past trauma, or simply someone searching for meaning, I hope you find comfort and inspiration here.

At Rooted & Rising, I believe in walking alongside each other through life’s challenges — with honesty, compassion, and patience. My approach is rooted in authenticity: sharing real, raw stories of healing, embracing the ups and downs of motherhood, and finding strength in personal growth. This space is meant to be a safe place for reflection and encouragement — no judgment, no pressure, just a gentle reminder that we are all in this journey together.

Whether you’re healing from trauma, adjusting to new phases in life, or rediscovering your purpose, I’m here to help guide you, offering support, insights, and a community of like-minded souls. We rise through vulnerability and connection, and I’m excited to share this journey with you.

🌼 The Heart Behind Rooted & Rising
