Welcome to the work of Sam Bell! Coach, Educator, Healer. Speaker, Writer, Podcaster. Overachiever. Good. Bad. Otherwise. No more wheel spinning. No more STUCK!
I’m a big dreamer obsessed with puppies, cats, chocolate, travel, and sunshine. I put my crystals out on a full moon and am happiest walking barefoot in nature. I believe EVERY WOMAN deserves the opportunity to achieve her FULLEST POTENTIAL and that our soul’s wisdom lies within the relationship we have with our mothers. My SUPERPOWER is helping women like YOU become the best version of themselves while pursuing the kind of life they actually want! Life is too damn short! Seeing people SUCCEED whilst doing what they LOVE fires me up! We only have one life and heck, we need to LIVE it, with reckless abandon! That’s the version of life I am living and the one I want to help you live too!

✨ January Theme: Setting Intention ✨
This month, we’re stepping into 2026 with purpose and presence. 💛 It’s time to let go of what no longer serves you and set intentions that support your energy, joy, and well-being.
💡 January Focus: Use conscious intention to guide your choices, honor your nervous system, and create space for what truly nourishes you. Every “I am” statement rewires your mind and body toward safety, ease, and joy.
🌱 Your Invitation: Pause. Reflect. Declare what you want to grow in your life this year. This month is about turning awareness into action and reclaiming your joy.
✨ Stop Existing. Start Living. Let your intentions lead the way!

“My hand is at the small of your back; I may let you stumble, but I will never let you fall.” — Maya Angelou
January is Mental Wellness Month, a time to honor emotional care, healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Dr. Angelou reminds us that we are not meant to navigate life alone — that support, love, and compassion can hold us steady even when we falter.
Caring for our mental well-being is not a weakness. It is an act of courage, trust, and self-preservation.
You are allowed to stumble. You are never meant to fall alone. 🤍

Sitting with my coffee on a well deserved day ‘off’ and thinking ‘we weren’t meant to bloom on command’
Many of you know I practice ‘cyclical living’ and the teachings have become ever more important with each New Year…
“Janyary isn’t a restart button — it’s a resting place”
A pause.
A quiet integration…
✨ This morning we have awoken to a dense, foggy Calgary…Nature is still.
Roots are strengthening underground.
Everything is moving slowly…
✨Nothing is wrong with us for moving slowly.
If your body feels tired…
If your spirit wants silence…
If your nervous system is asking for softness…
That’s wisdom — not weakness!
You don’t need a new version of yourself.
You need permission to listen.
Let winter do its sacred work✨
Your spring will come — right on time. 🌱
🤍 Save this if you’re releasing the pressure to “be more”
🤍 Share with someone who needs permission to rest
🤍 This is your permission slip - my gift to you my family, friends, colleagues, clients and loved ones - permission to let go of the pressure to turn over that new leaf, make resolution’s that will come to nothing before the end of January and then you’ll beat yourself up!
🎄 Merry Christmas from all of us at Sam Bell Inspired, Angel Empowerment Healing, and Burnout to Joy 🎄
This season, we want to pause and say thank you.
Thank you for being part of our community. Thank you for your courage, your openness, and your commitment to your own healing, growth, and joy.
It’s an honour to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your intuition, restore your energy, and remember who you truly are beneath the burnout.
May this Christmas bring you moments of stillness, deep rest, gentle magic, and reminders that you are never alone — supported, guided, and deeply worthy of joy.
From our hearts to yours, we are so grateful for you and excited for all that’s unfolding in the year ahead.
With love and blessings,
Sam, Cindy & April ✨

✨ Winter Solstice Blessings ✨
Today we honor the longest night and the quiet turning back toward the light.
The Winter Solstice reminds us that rest is not weakness — it is wisdom.
In nature, nothing is rushing right now.
Seeds are gathering strength beneath frozen ground.
Trees stand bare, conserving energy.
The earth itself is whispering: pause… replenish… trust the process.
If you’ve felt tired, reflective, or called inward lately — you’re right on time.
This is a sacred moment to release what no longer serves, to soften your expectations, and to let yourself simply be.
Even in the deepest dark, the light is already returning.
Slowly. Gently. Unstoppably.
May you use this turning point to:
❄️ Rest without guilt
❄️ Reflect without judgment
❄️ Plant intentions with patience
❄️ Trust that your light is growing — even if you can’t see it yet
Here’s to honoring the dark and welcoming the dawn.
Happy Winter Solstice
🌙

Loving this beauty from my Advent Calendar!!
☀️
This is an unusual gold colored substance, some believe it to be a tektite. It is believed to have been formed when a meteorite hit the inhospitable Western Sahara Desert and exploded above it 26 million years ago. The explosion and impact of the meteorite catapulted molten rock and sand into the stratosphere creating a glass-like substance that formed as the material made its way back to earth.
☀️
Energy: Associated with powerful sun energy, transformation, abundance, clarity, and self-confidence.
Chakra: A Solar Plexus Chakra stone.
Usage: Used in meditation, rituals, and as protective talismans.
☀️
Thank you Tristan for always finding new and fascinating specimens to add to my ever growing collection!

Read Sam’s latest article on and
Your brain strengthens what you repeatedly pay attention to — that’s neuroplasticity in action. When attention stays locked on stress, the nervous system reinforces threat pathways; when it includes safety, beauty, or connection, calm pathways grow instead. Gratitude isn’t “positive thinking” — it’s nervous system regulation, supporting heart rate regulation and serotonin release. Even brief moments of appreciation can shift physiology, soften the body, and build resilience over time. Burnout narrows attention as a survival response, and intentional noticing gently restores capacity. This isn’t bypassing pain — it’s teaching your system that safety can coexist alongside it.

Sam Bell’s personal transformation in the face of adversity has become her own ‘Journey to Joy’ and has established her as a leading Empowerment Coach. Through her own inspirational transformation, she has created a valuable resource incorporating the JOY Coaching Programs and the Mother Ship Events, each designed to provide women (and men) with the tools to ‘Stop Existing, Start Living’, embodying their full power and potential.
An ‘accidental’ entrepreneur, Sam says: ‘This was never supposed to be a 'business'... It started out as a personal blog and a book to be left as a legacy for my son. But as my journey progressed, as I healed and emerged from 'broken', the value in the lessons I learned along the way became proven tools that have helped others do exactly the same’
Today, Sam Bell’s enterprise includes her signature Health and Empowerment Coaching Programs ‘JOY: Journey of You’ and The Mother Ship - a series of live events and retreats and an Online Membership, designed to bring the magic of Sacred Circle to women the world over.
She is also President of the Calgary South Holistic Chamber of Commerce, a vehicle through which Sam works tirelessly to empower small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Sam has established herself as a recognised specialist, primarily working with women who deeply struggle in their relationship with their mother, and have for years (or decades).
The women she works with have often been to counsellors, intuitive, support groups, read books, or done courses… but their relationship with a toxic mother is still influencing their other relationships, money, happiness, body image etc. in a profound way.
What began as a blog entitles ‘Mamaita’s Journey’ has evolved into a truly unique Resource and Empowerment Coaching Practice. Sam has proven repeatedly to improve her client's health and well being through her unique combination of clinical and intuitive coaching skills and healing practices.
What's in the name?
'Mamaita' is the pet name given to her by her now teenage son, and as this all began for him five years ago, it seemed only fitting that this should be the name given to her blog, and later, her business.
'Journey' is a metaphor for 'Life'. It represents Sam’s determined journey to find JOY. A 'Happiness Project' that is now entering its 8th year and has empowered her to develop and engage in healthy mindsets and behaviours.
‘My unique approach to learning and teaching is based upon my own incredible journey and the many adventures I share to discover my inner truth, to understand those around me and discover my life purpose’
She has grown to understand and accept the many challenges that have been placed in front of her: daughter of a narcissistic mother and the survivor of emotional/psychological abuse; daughter of an alcoholic mother and father; survivor of r**e; bankruptcy; and finally a divorce leaving her a single mum. And now, an entrepreneur, public speaker, published writer, coach and powerful change agent.
‘It took the breakdown of my marriage to make me determined to be happy for the sake of our son. Determined to understand what had happened to me and why. Determined to turn the bad into good. Determined to like the person I had become and accepted me for being me. Determined to enjoy the journey to happiness ~ the journey that has evolved into something so amazing I can no longer keep it to myself. I want to share this with others and empower individuals to do this for themselves. Using evidence-based theories and practices, I share with my clients the simple philosophies that encompass all aspects of you and your life - a Truly Integrative Approach'.
Working with Sam, whether it be one on one, attending her workshops or completing one of her many online coaching courses, empowers you to improve your own health and well-being through personal responsibility and self-motivation.
‘With an open mind and a traveller's spirit, my clients realize the many possibilities that their own journey holds and I help get them to where they only once dreamed they might actually be’
