My name is Sam and I am the owner of Sam Isham Life Coaching. I am a mindset and courage coach who works with clients who feel that they have lost their way and are looking for ways to access and come back to their true selves. I partner with clients who are curious and open to identifying patterns of thinking and behaving that are no longer serving them, and are ready to courageously take steps towards a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling to them. Creating a life of integrity takes courage, and I provide a safe space for clients to be vulnerable, reflect, dream, and work towards their goals while I provide tools, support, accountability, encouragement, and reflection along the way. My coaching ethos is rooted in my values of authenticity, courage, creativity, integrity, growth and presence, and I believe that each person has the knowledge within them to do what is best for them and their lives. I walk alongside clients and they re-imagine and create their own unique path.

Are you ready to live a more aligned life? I’d love to meet you and talk more about your goals and my coaching style and offerings.

My Coaching Influences

My coaching techniques and methodologies are influenced by mindfulness practices, the Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, and the works of Martha Beck.

In fact, Martha Beck is how I discovered life coaching as a career!

My core beleifs

  • the only time we have is now

  • grounding into the present moment helps us gain clarity and enhance our own self awareness

  • we are far too concerned with what others think about us and what we do with our lives

  • we need to release the control that we attempt to have on others

  • when we do this, we have time to focus on what we want for our own lives

  • we innately hold the wisdom to live our best lives

  • culture has quieted our inner voice for it’s own gain

  • when we get still, we are able to tap into our inner knowledge

  • following our inner guide is the way to live a life that feels uniquely meaningful to you

You have one life - you deserve to live it in a way that is purposeful to you.

  • "Menders of all times and places have taught that silencing the thoughts in our heads and opening to the experience of the body and emotions is the basis of all healing. It's the only means by which we can reclaim our true nature or feel the subtle cues telling us how to find our way through life."

    -Martha Beck

  • "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

    —Mary Oliver

  • "Every time you say Let Them, you clear all of the noise and distraction on the surface and you create space for something deeper: your inner voice, your intuition, your truth, and your unique path to life."

    -Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory

  • "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us"

    —Marianne Williamson

  • "When we aren't distracted by culture, we move directly toward fulfilling our innate longing. When we're craving things we've been taught to want, we lose track of our inner motivations entirely, and may spend a lifetime pursuing rewards that never make us feel truly fulfilled."

    —Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity.

  • "Let Me create a better life. A life that makes me proud. A life that makes me happy. A life where I use my precious energy to enjoy every single moment I have."

    -Mel Robbins, The Let Them Theory
