Ep #76 In today’s episode, I get intimate and vulnerable with Sami + Sami, the dynamic duo behind the brand “form” and co-hosts of the Transform podcast. They share their unique journey from the inception of their joint business venture to blending friendship with professionalism. We talk about the art of communication, navigating difficult conversations, and the importance of transparency in their partnership. Sami B. opens up about her personal weight loss journey, shedding light on the realities of embracing weightlifting and debunking the myth of quick fixes in fitness. Meanwhile, Sami C. opens up about her introduction to fitness, the struggle of identifying one's purpose, and how the podcast has influenced their personal lives and perspectives. The conversation further explores the challenge of dealing with differing opinions in the health and wellness industry, the significance of self-compassion through various life stages, and the healing power of sharing personal stories. Both Sami B. and Sami C. discuss their individual paths to mental well-being, the importance of setting boundaries, and how embracing the messiness of growth leads to true wellness. This episode promises a heartfelt look into personal transformation, the strength of friendship, and the continuous journey towards wellness.
