Struggling in life can be a harsh and overwhelming experience. It can take many forms, from financial difficulties to health problems, and can affect people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Lacking confidence or self-belief can hold people back from achieving their true potential and living a life that could have been.

Many people who identify themselves as ‘unconfident’ live a life of uncertainty and start to own this identity. However, many of these individuals decide enough is enough and embark on a journey of self-discovery and change. This could start with being around people who make them feel good, reading the right books, and, most importantly, getting a coach specializing in building confidence.

Meet Sam Mills, a confidence coach for women on a mission to help women build their true confidence from within. Sam believes that the key to true confidence lies in getting to know oneself, understanding, accepting, and loving who you are. She understands the struggles of building confidence, having faced them herself throughout her life. 

Sam’s story is heavy on the heart. At the tender age of five, Sam was subjected to the trauma of repeated sexual abuse by a trusted family friend. According to Sam, the memories of the places where the abuse occurred are still strong. 

Like many women who have experienced similar traumas, as a child, Sam’s innocence was taken advantage of, being manipulated by her abuser. This caused Sam to think it was her fault and that she would get into trouble if she spoke out. As a way of coping, Sam locked the memories away and grew into a teenager and young adult filled with self-hate, guilt, and shame.

Despite these difficulties, Sam never gave up on her dreams and continued to push herself to be the best version of herself. In her late 20s, she attended her first personal development workshop and realized her true potential. With the help of a specialist, she unlocked the door to the darkroom in her mind and let the light shine in, finding her confidence and self-belief. 

With this newfound confidence, Sam was in full control of her life. She woke up every day with a mission in mind and a smile on her face. Filled with self-love, she decided to get her Masters. After accomplishing a lifelong goal, Sam wasn’t done yet. Her confidence enabled her to accelerate up the corporate ladder, becoming the head of the department leading a team of 25. Simply put, according to Sam, this was her “Erin Brockovich” moment.

In referencing her ‘Erin Brockovich’ moment, Sam draws a parallel to the famous legal clerk and environmental activist who, against all odds, brought a massive corporation to its knees. Just like Brockovich, Sam experienced a turning point in her life, where she not only overcame personal challenges but also stood tall in a predominantly male-dominated professional realm. This moment symbolizes a significant triumph — a time when she recognized her power, value, and potential. Within the context of this article, it emphasizes the magnitude of Sam’s resilience and determination, highlighting how pivotal moments can propel individuals toward unprecedented achievements.

However, in her mid-40s, things started to take a dark turn. During menopause, Sam struggled with the symptoms. She saw a change in her day-to-day activity. Bright days turned dull, and her outlook went from positive to negative. She had, indeed, lost her confidence again. One month turned into two years. Sam understood she was facing a midlife crisis and decided things had to change if she wanted to live a life filled with joy.

Confidence Decoded: A Simple Guide to Genuine Empowerment

She knew exactly what needed to be done, and she knew she couldn’t do it alone. Back in her 20s, she clearly remembered that expert guidance was what enabled her to restore her lost confidence. She did just that.

According to Sam, something ‘magical’ had taken place. While working on restoring her self-confidence, she figured out the system to help anyone, especially women who have gone through similar challenges, go from being doubtful and afraid to being filled with confidence and self-belief.

Sam knew what had to be done and she quit her corporate job to dedicate her life to helping women become the most confident version of themselves. 

Sam’s unique approach to coaching is centered on helping women tap into their inner strength and build a foundation for genuine confidence. Through her guidance and support, women can break free from the limiting beliefs holding them back and embrace their true selves, empowering women everywhere to live their best lives, full of confidence and self-assuredness.

This confidence-building program is designed specifically for women. The program is centered on helping women understand, accept, and love themselves, which Sam believes is the foundation of true confidence. Through her program, women can delve deep into their own needs, values, and standards, gaining a better understanding of who they are and what they want from life. 

One of Sam’s program’s critical components is helping women regain their voices and speak their truth without fear, shame, or guilt. By setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, women can live life on their terms and achieve their desired success. 

Confidence Mastery: The Self, Relationships, Career.

Sam’s program is a transformative experience that empowers women to tap into their inner strength and build the confidence they need to live their best lives. Her three-step approach to mastering confidence within the self, relationships and career has a track record of helping women who previously lost hope, transform their lives for the better. Having gone through these challenges, Sam is ‘ultra’ passionate about working with women to support them in understanding, accepting, and loving themselves so they can build their unstoppable confidence, just as she did. 

Her ideal clients are those who are filled with a lack of self-belief, a silenced voice, and a depleted sense of confidence. Through her program, however, they undergo a course of mind shifts and actions that, according to some clients; are ‘life changing’. Sam helps her clients own, fully accept, and love themselves, unlocking their inner power and enabling them to pursue their life dreams confidently. 

The result is a newfound sense of self-assuredness, a voice that is no longer silenced, and the belief that anything is possible.

Through her journey and experiences, Sam is a shining example of resilience and determination, inspiring others to overcome their struggles and live their lives to the fullest. 

Women who have faced trauma, and/or are facing an intense period of self-doubt and fear can take the first step to becoming their most confident and assertive self.  If one is ready for this type of life-changing transformation, Sam’s program may be the bridge needed to tap into one’s full potential and live a purposeful life.
