The Power of Small Shifts: Embracing Wellness Through Life’s Chaos with Sami-Jo Emsley
In this inspiring episode of Thursday Tea with Sami, host Dr. Samia Estrada sits down with wellness advocate and author Sami-Jo Emsley—a fellow Sami with a powerful story of transformation. After navigating stress, weight gain, and the challenges of parenting a child with autism, Sami-Jo began making small but impactful lifestyle changes that improved her mental, physical, and emotional health.
Together, we explore:
- How spirituality helped her shift her mindset
- The role of nutrition, hydration, and movement in managing anxiety and depression
- The power of routine, rest, and compassion in staying consistent
- How she found time to write her book The Vintage Housewives Oracle Club amid her busy life
Sami-Jo’s story is a testament to the power of starting small, creating non-negotiable wellness moments, and giving ourselves grace along the way. Whether you’re a busy parent or just feeling overwhelmed, this episode will remind you that wellness is possible—one small step at a time.
