You can see regular content uploaded to her 54k+ followers on TikTok featuring pop culture analysis, behind the scenes of working in radio, empowering affirmations, and a candid look at life in a Filipino family. 

Mindfulness and meditation are Sam’s passion. After years of practicing on her own, she wanted to share the undeniable benefits with a wider audience. Sam is now a certified Meditation Teacher, available for group or one-on-one guided meditations.
