I see you there, lady. You, hearing those whispers from deep within telling you there must be more than this (although, actually, forget that - shouldn’t I just #begrateful?)
You, with the stars in your eyes and big, juicy goals to tick off – yet somehow, you keep letting your own dreams topple to the bottom of your to-do list.
2021 came in like a wrecking ball and sideswiped your plans, and now you aren’t sure how you’re supposed to get up, move forward AND still trust that life turns out the way you want it to.
I’m Sam, and I’m here to tell you that every last one of us deserve to be really (truly) seen + heard…
I’m a Positive Psychology Life Coach and psychotherapist with six years of university qualifications, mama to a beautiful four-year-old, Amelie, and passionate advocate for living an inspired life.
I have over 15 years’ experience supporting women from all walks of life (thousands, in fact), and it’s my mission to support modern-day women to experience fulfilment, self-acceptance and unbridled joy. Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I have a Bachelor of Social Work (Curtin University/AMHSW), post-graduate qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy/Psychological Therapy (Southampton University), and post-graduate training in Family Therapy (Latrobe University) and Gestalt Therapy (GTIWA).
Yep, that’s a LOTTA late nights hanging out with my university textbooks – but as a result, today I’m endlessly grateful that I get to spend my time helping beautiful women just like you.
Come, let’s join forces…

Permission Granted is a powerful ten-month sisterhood and coaching experience designed to help you give yourself the permission slip you’ve been waiting for to live MORE of the life you want, and LESS of the one you’ve been living for everyone else.
Yes, you, lovely – the one with 27 balls in the air and the pull to constantly do and be more for everyone else, all the while pressing ‘mute’ on the whispers from within… Who never feels quite enough, and so keeps clicking ‘remind me tomorrow’ when her soul suggests you update your priorities to include her.
You’re hungry to finally embrace your true nature in all her perfect messiness, or yearning to claim next-level success in your business, or just itching to turn left when the world keeps telling you to turn right.
You feel 50 shades of guilt when it comes to bringing your dreams front-and-centre of your own life, and so you keep waiting, waiting, waiting to feel worthy. And yet, you know at your core that it’s time to free yourself from the weight of all of the ‘undones’ – and begin walking boldly toward your dreams.
Scroll this way, lady…
Learn to press mute on the mean girl in your head…
(you know, the one telling you not to bother reaching for your dreams because you’re too lazy/not smart enough/just don’t really have what it takes - and anyways, it’s been 17 minutes since you checked your Insta feed…)
… and show up with boundless courage + radical self-acceptance
This ten-month experience has been designed to help you swap procrastination for epic self-acceptance and consistent, aligned action toward the life of your daydreams.
You’ll emerge feeling utterly worthy of everything you desire - and armed with the tools to get it (all while hustling less + experiencing more joy).
"It was an easy decision for me to sign up - I knew Permission Granted would be amazing!
Afterwards, I really felt like I'd been on a wonderful internal journey. The biggest transformation I’ve noticed is the way I’m now much more compassionate with myself.
I would recommend Permission Granted to other women without hesitation. It's such a beautiful container full of lots of gentle accountability, oodles of love and support and a wonderful community.
Oh, and the connections with other women! Having such amazing, strong women on my side and cheering me on is invaluable. It's been such a wonderful bonus of Permission Granted."

"Honestly, it was the best 10 months. I didn’t realise I didn’t know myself very well until I did this work.
I had a lot going on in my life last year. I was in a toxic work environment. During my time working with Sam I realised the importance of building something that supports me, rather than just provides a lifeline.
In August I finished working in the corporate world, and now I’m a virtual assistant specialising in systems and process development – which is all thanks to Sam! If I wasn’t in Permission Granted, there’s no way I would have left my job.
Sam really makes you feel empowered to include joy in your life.
I met so many very motivated, but also incredibly inspiring and open women. The connections we made from the conversations about vulnerability, and openness and struggles were amazing.
It’s just been more valuable than I can even explain in words.
I am so grateful, because I feel like I can go into this year being more aligned, and knowing that everything I’m doing, I’m doing it for me, rather than trying to please someone else."

Because, here’s the thing: As the owner of a six-figure small business and a qualified psychotherapist with 6 years of university training, I know that (contrary to what we were once taught at bedtime by Cinderella and co.) having your dreams come true is up to YOU. And the most direct route there? Consistently, bravely taking action that Future You will thank you for. Every single day.
And, if you’ve clicked your way here, let me take an educated guess that you…
- Want more from this life…
- But overthink. Every. Little. Thing
- Beat yourself up for being ‘lazy’ on the regular
- Are feeling overwhelmed by the ‘shoulds’...
- But feel stuck in your people-pleasing ways
- Tell yourself that your needs are unimportant
- Feel like you never get anywhere with your dreams (when really you’re not giving yourself permission to dedicate time to them)
I’ve also got a little thinkling that you’re craving…
- A space to talk about the deep stuff
- To be surrounded by a community of strong, intelligent women
- To stop feeling guilty about wanting more
- To start feeling the same compassion for the woman deep within (yep, underneath your Mum/Business Owner/Friend hat) that you bestow upon your loved ones
- To start living from a place of bold, authentic self-expression
- To finally feel worthy of the life of your dreams…
- And the courage to start walking toward it

I launched Permission Granted because it’s my mission to help women to step into their truest essence, with boundless courage and radical self-acceptance.
During my 6 years of university study and 15 years working with women, one of the things I have learnt to be true is that we women are all so different - yet at once, all so utterly the same:
♡ We ALL crave to be seen and heard.
♡ AND most of us are, on some level, waiting for external permission (whether that be to launch a business, strike a different path or bring a buried part of yourself into the light).
I have also learnt that the words of the great Dr. Seuss undoubtedly ring true: “There is no-one alive who is you-er than you”. Yet still, we womenfolk tend to look here, there and everywhere for the green light to follow the nudges of our soul – instead of heeding the call from within to take flight.
And so, it’s time. It’s time to flip this on its head – and start giving ourselves the permission we’re craving…
Permission to STOP:
♡ People-pleasing
♡ Living by ‘rules’ and ‘shoulds’
♡ Drowning under a mountain of pressure and guilt
♡ Saying yes when we want to say NO
Permission to START:
♡ Reclaiming our self-worth
♡Experiencing more joy + rest
♡ Living from a place of courage
♡ Finding more meaning + purpose in this life (start that band, grow your business -whatever it looks like to grab life and make it yours)
♡ Being unapologetically, unabashedly, wholly you.
Are you ready to live out a purposeful, courageous, inspired life?

"When I heard about Permission Granted, I was completely lost in a world that revolved around constantly switching from ‘mum mode’ to ‘work mode’ and back again. I wasn’t giving any consideration for my own needs and self-care. I signed up because I knew this was the inner work and support that I needed to bust through my mind blocks!
I love Sam’s approach and gentle way of shining a light on the areas where there is work to be done. Her energy is so supportive, and she has a wealth of experience to draw on.
I’m sad that the experience has come to an end, because the love and support from the program was amazing. I felt very heard, held and seen the entire time. My biggest transformation came from truly sharing my past struggles and shame for the first time in a group situation - a true sign of feeling very supported!
This experience helped me to give myself more permission to have fun, and also to find the things that I love to do! I would recommend Permission Granted to any woman in business."
- Cat Skreiner
I’m so swamped with work/motherhood/life! What if I’m not sure if I’ll have the time to dedicate to the course?
This, lady, is exactly the reason why you will get SO much out of Permission Granted. When you’re stuck in a place where you feel like you’re drowning in everybody else’s needs and expectations (yep, I’ve been there) it’s so hard to acknowledge your own needs, and their importance – if not for you own sweet sake, then at least for those around you (the ol’ oxygen mask analogy comes in handy here). But once you fine-tune your self-worth, you will make the time (trust me) – because you’ll finally, finally give yourself permission to.
Oh, and the other thing? One piece of feedback I have received from the majority of my course participants is how much they appreciate my gentle, down-to-earth approach. If you skip a week because your kids got sick or fall behind because, life, there won’t be any guilt-tripping here (we get enough of that as women) or pressure to ‘keep up’ – you are oh-so welcome to show up during Permission Granted exactly as you are. I’ll bring the compassion and empathy for you in ALL of your perfect imperfections.
I’m a small business owner/freelancer/on mat leave – what if I don’t have a pile of cash to spend right now?
I hear you! This is why a lovely little thing called ‘payment plans’ were invented. I know it can be hard to cough up a large sum all at once (especially when it’s spending on yourself) – so I’ve structured the payment options to include 10 monthly payments spread out across the duration of the course. Think of it as AfterPay for your soul.
I’ve bought an online course before but I didn’t get much out of it – what’s different about Permission Granted?
First up, you will receive expert guidance from a highly experienced professional. In addition to 6 years of university study in social work and psychotherapy, I have over 15 years’ experience working with women – so it’s safe to say you will be in safe, knowledgeable hands. Plus, joining Permission Granted is about much, much more than the lessons and modules we will work through (although those are amazing, too) – it’s also your ticket to become part of a sacred sisterhood community where you will join hands and hearts with a group of likeminded brave, intelligent women. The connections you form during Permission Granted will allow you to finally feel held, supported, seen and heard.
What is your refund policy?
I trust that you make the decision with a knowing that you're IN and committed to the full 10 month experience.
You will:
♡ Be armed with strategies and guidance from a highly qualified coach and counsellor (that’s me!) with 6 years of university training and 15 years’ professional experience
♡ Be a part of a sisterhood where you feel truly seen, heard and supported
♡ Enjoy juicy, soul-to-soul chats about the BIG stuff
♡ Turn down the volume on your inner critic
♡ Have stars in your eyes and fire in your belly
♡ Honour your own needs as truly, wildly important
So that you:
♡ Replace perfectionism with imperfect aligned action (aka doing things before you’re ready)
♡ Swap guilt for productivity and peace
♡ Stop lingering on the sidelines, subconsciously waiting for someone (anyone!) to give you the proverbial green light to do that thing/unearth that part of yourself just yearning to let herself be seen
♡ Unleash your true, unbridled self – and set her free to walk (make that run) in the direction of her soul’s calling
♡ Never, ever again live your days haunted by all the ‘undones’
