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!

Remembrance Day isn’t only about history; it’s about humanity.
It’s about the people who stood in the face of fear, who chose service over self, who carried hope through unimaginable darkness.
And it’s also a call to us — to honour their legacy not just with silence, but with presence.
To live fully, love deeply, and choose peace in our own hearts and homes.
Because freedom is not just the absence of war…
It’s the presence of compassion.
The courage to care.
The willingness to see each other — really see each other — as one.
Today, I remember.
Tomorrow, I choose to live inspired — for them, and through them.

✨ It’s GO LIVE DAY!!! ✨
Today marks a huge milestone — the official launch of our Burnout to Joy website and tools! 💫
What began as my own healing journey through burnout has grown into a movement — a space where teachers, nurses, and all service professionals can discover tools to reconnect with their energy, restore balance, and reignite joy.
🔥 Explore our offerings now:
• 🧠 Burnout? Find Out! Quiz
• 🌈 5-Day Challenge
• 💖 Energy Tracker
• 📰 REAL TALK for Service Professionals (Podcast + Blog + Newsletter)
• 🎓 And… doors are now open to join the Pilot of our Foundation Course!
But that’s not all — this launch also celebrates another part of my healing journey 🌿 — discovering OLIVEDA.
This incredible brand became part of my ritual of restoration — reminding me that true healing happens from the inside out. As I nurtured my nervous system, I also began nurturing my skin and body with the same intention: to restore, rebalance, and radiate joy.
So today, I’m not just launching a website… I’m launching a lifestyle that honors healing in every form.
✨ Here’s to transformation.
✨ Here’s to nervous system healing.
✨ Here’s to the beauty of living in alignment.

✨Vagus Nerve Healing Card of the Day✨
BELLY BREATHING
(Or for my fellow medical professionals — diaphragmatic breathing! 😉)
This simple practice invites your body to return to rest and digest — your parasympathetic state of calm, safety, and healing.
🌬️ How to do it:
1️⃣ Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.
2️⃣ Inhale slowly through your nose — feel your belly rise, not your chest.
3️⃣ Exhale gently through your mouth.
4️⃣ Repeat for 1–2 minutes, letting your breath lengthen naturally.
As you do this, you’re not just breathing — you’re sending a signal to your nervous system:
🩵 “It’s safe to relax.”
Try it today whenever you notice tension building — between patients, classes, calls, or moments of overwhelm.
Your breath is your built-in calm.

🌍 World Mental Health Day 💚
Today is a gentle reminder to check in on your people.
The strong ones. The quiet ones. The ones who say “I’m fine.”
Sometimes, the smallest message — “thinking of you” — can mean the world. 💌
Healing doesn’t always happen in therapy rooms… sometimes it happens through connection, compassion, and a simple cup of tea shared with someone who gets it. ☕💛
Let’s be the reason someone feels seen today.
Reach out. Ask. Listen. Hold space.
When I first started my own healing journey, I began with The Happiness Project — and honestly, I felt selfish. I thought happiness was something to be earned, or that others’ needs should come first.
But here’s what I learned…
Healing begins when we finally allow ourselves to receive joy, peace, and love — not when we feel we’ve “earned” it. 💛
Your nervous system heals in safety and softness, not self-criticism.
Repeat after me:
✨ I deserve happiness.
✨ Happiness is my right.
✨ Joy is medicine.

✨ My heart is so full ✨
One of my beautiful friends and clients surprised me by showing up to Angel Day yesterday — and not just showing up, but walking in with such determination and light.
💫
Seeing her step into the room, after all she has been moving through, reminded me why I do this work. Her courage, her presence, and her willingness to lean into healing absolutely made my day.
🌿
Moments like this are the true magic — proof that with faith, support, and inner strength, transformation is always possible.

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’
