Today we’d like to introduce you to Samiah Thomas.
Hi Samiah, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Hey, I am Samiah Nicole and I am a certified Health and Life Coach! My personal health journey has been a roller coaster. I went through many years of low self esteem and self worth because I allowed others to define my identity. In the beginning, it was the inconsistent relationship I had with my dad that left me feeling rejected. Throughout school, classmates told me I was ugly. When I got older, unfavorable romantic relationships left me feeling low. These aspects in addition to traumatic experiences lead me to believe that I was just here on this earth just to exist to fight battles. As I got closer to my 30’s and started committing to my self development, I realized that those things actually didn’t define me, God does. I went on my own self love and confidence journey. Within that journey, I began to pour into myself spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. I refused to continue just “going through the motions” of life. I knew that there was more for me. I started setting and meeting goals. It felt so good! Because I went through my own self love and confidence journey, a very strong desire birthed in me to help others overcome their health challenges as well.
My coaching business got started from a vision. I would come across people who reminded me of where I was: going through life dissatisfied with their body image, having little to no confidence, and having an unfavorable mindset that kept them stuck. Many of them didn’t know where to start to break the cycle and improve their quality of life. So I made the commitment to become a certified Health and Life Coach to help people like that. Now, my goal is to help as many people as I can to reach levels in their overall health that they’ve never reached before or haven’t reached in years!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road has been bumpy for sure. I’m a first time entrepreneur, so I am constantly learning the ins and outs of owning a business. My biggest struggle has been overcoming Imposter Syndrome. I’m sure many can relate to that! But one thing I am big on is affirmations, so I use those to combat that pesky syndrome. Another challenge has been staying disciplined when it comes to content on social media. Staying consistent is certainly difficult, but I am improving!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Many people know me for being encouraging, authentic, and a plant based foodie. About a year ago I became plant based, and I took my audience on my plant based journey. So, many times people are interested in seeing what I cook or what I eat the vegan food spots I visit. One thing that makes me unique is that I value authenticity. I take pride in imperfection. Meaning, I am judgement free. I actually expect my clients to make mistakes and I am very transparent with them as well as my social media audience about my imperfections. Plus people think I am funny and they feed off of my humor lol.
Something else that makes me unique is that I am not a typical diet culture coach. My program allows clients to experiment with their eating habits which makes them more in tune with what’s serving their body and what’s not. I am most proud of starting this business. It can be intimidating and I never thought I was even capable! I want readers to know that I truly enjoy helping others be overcomers. I currently offer a 90 day program that addresses areas such as: healthy eating, weight loss, confidence, energy levels, stress, and so much more! I also offer a 14 day reset cleanse every few months! Lastly, I have a health blog with recipes on my website! I collaborate with other health enthusiasts to create interactive health challenges! My brand stands on 4 actions: to empower, encourage, educate, and enlighten!
What’s next?
I am looking forward to growing and expanding. I have goals to offer valuable digital products and possible go into physical merchandise as well.
