What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do

"Follow your passion" doesn't help when you don't have one. This solo episode is for the times you're genuinely stuck and have no idea what to do next. I talk through finding purpose in your pain, why you want the overlap between what you're good at and what you actually enjoy, and why you should go look at the real day of someone already doing the thing you think you want, before you chase it. What I cover: * Purpose hides in what you've survived, not your wins * Good at it + enjoy it.. why you need both * Studying the reality of a path, not the idea of it * One small step to take this week Follow @alignedandunfilteredpod for new episodes weekly. @samanthagreen.tgh instagram Lettersfromsamanthagreen - substack

Poppy Owen: How Pivoting (Again and Again) Built the Life and Business She Actually Wanted

This week I'm joined by Poppy Owen, former business mentor now Dubai content creator. She is someone who has reinvented herself in business more times than most people dare to try. Poppy mentored me in 2023, so this conversation is deeply personal and packed with the kind of honest insight you only get from someone who has actually done the thing. We dive into the art of the pivot — what drives it, what makes it terrifying, and why it might be the best thing you ever do for your business and your life.

What does living abroad actually do to you? In this episode I open up the conversation that my Instagram audience started. Sharing their real, unfiltered experiences of expat life.
