SamTalia Wellness

Holistic Empowerment that encompasses mental, emotional, physical, environmental, and financial wellbeing. Speaker on wellness and events.

Specializing in wellness implementation in meetings & events, and financial health. Multi-certified/ licensed. SamTalia is by Samantha Marie, a choreographer who began her journey of holistic well-being after struggling with depression and anxiety for several years, then had a string of heart and other health issues snowballing on top of it. Through studying nutrition and mind-body connection, she was able to discontinue all prescription medications and become physically active once more. Not wanting to see others go through the trouble she did alone, she obtained her Personal Trainer and Nutritionist Certifications in 2013 to help others in their journey of health and happiness. In 2014 the Natural Beauty and Body Blog was launched with workouts, nutrition tips, and product reviews in health and beauty. 2015 brought Natural Solutions from DoTerra essential oils into the newly formed SamTalia which encompassed fitness, nutrition, and natural health alternatives. In recent years Samantha has began speaking out raising awareness on normalizing mental and emotional wellness, sharing from her personal experiences and developing inclusive platforms for people and companies to feel safe and comfortable addressing these issues we all face. She's continued educational certifications to support this cause, including becoming a Certified Holistic Life Coach, Fitness Nutritionist, and Corporate Wellness Coach. SamTalia is the wellness branch of OmniEra, implementing holistic well-being practices specializing in events and the hospitality industry. Samantha is available for corporate coaching and speaking engagements. Please contact [email protected] for more information

If “be productive” is your whole plan for the day, no wonder it feels impossible.
🙃
When everything feels like too much: write down three things you want to accomplish. Just three. Keep them realistic for the energy you have today.
Drink 64oz of water. Take a 10-minute walk. Respond to three emails.
On a good day they can be bigger, and on a hard day they can be tiny. Both count.
✨
Three works because it’s specific, so we know what a win looks like. It’s limited, so it feels doable instead of overwhelming. We get to physically check it off, which gives us a little spark of pride. You did what you said you would do.
On hard days, that spark matters more than you’d think.
🌿
Keep your list somewhere visible, like a sticky note, your phone, or a notebook. Some days you’ll finish more than three. Some days you’ll finish one or two, and you can try again tomorrow. It builds self-trust, one small achievement at a time.
💙
What’s on your three today? Tell me below 👇 or send this to someone who needs a win. 🙂

You have a backup vendor for the backup vendor. Do you have a backup plan for you?
📋
Contracts, contingencies, load-in schedules, rain plans. Hospitality and events owners plan for everything except the one variable the whole business runs on.
💡
Here’s what that planning looks like:

Have a partner? A buy-sell agreement spells out what happens to their share if they die or can’t work. Life insurance can fund it, so the buyout is paid for ahead of time instead of negotiated in crisis with their family.

Flying solo? Coverage can give your family and your business time to wind down properly, sell, or hand off, instead of everything collapsing overnight.

Key person coverage is for the person (maybe you) whose absence would hurt revenue, relationships, or both.

Structure, ownership, and costs vary, so loop in your attorney and a licensed advisor before signing anything. A plan built in a calm quarter beats a plan built in a crisis.

You’d never run an event without an exit plan. Your business deserves one too.

Save this and put “review my exit plan” on next quarter’s to-do list. 👇

Trying to change a habit alone is a special kind of exhausting. Ask me how I know.
🙃
Everything is easier with support. Find someone who’ll show up for you while you show up for them. Mine is Tamar Schwartzbart , owner of Workout Spot in Oakland.
Over the years we’ve been each other’s accountability buddy for habits we wanted to start and habits we wanted to let go of. We’ve also taken ballet classes together, which is its own kind of accountability when adult life has other demanding priorities.
🩰
An accountability buddy is simply a person working toward their own goals (maybe like yours, maybe completely different) who checks in with you regularly to share progress, challenges, and encouragement. A friend, a family member, a coworker, even someone you meet online. Maybe you text each other your intention every morning, check in weekly, work out together, or swap what you’re grateful for.
🌿
You’re less likely to skip something when someone’s expecting to hear about it. Sharing a struggle makes it feel lighter. Celebrating a win together makes it feel bigger.
On the days you can’t muster the energy to show up for yourself, you might still show up because you don’t want to let your buddy down.
Choose someone reliable, non-judgmental, and kind, set clear expectations about how often you’ll connect, and remember it’s a two-way street.

You asked for more time. We listened.
🌿
The New Year Holistic Wellness Reset is returning February 5-7, 2027, with nearly twice the time of our past retreats. That means room to absorb, reflect, and actually let it all sink in, instead of rushing from one session to the next.

Here’s what’s new, shaped by your feedback:
✨ More breathing room during and between sessions
✨ Longer, smaller breakouts for deeper conversation
✨ More quiet time to rest and reflect
✨ Multiple tracks within some dimensions, so you choose the path that fits you
✨ New activities to connect with your inner self

We’re building on the 8 dimensions of wellbeing: physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, environmental, social, intellectual, and occupational. Because you are more than any one part of yourself.
💙
Your favorite facilitators are returning, along with a few new voices. The sound bath and essential oil activations are back too.
As always, everything is an invitation. You decide what works for you.

Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, with meals included, at San Damiano Retreat in the Danville hills.

“Just get a better job” is not a financial plan.
💯
Job discrimination isn’t a talking point for a lot of us. It’s a recurring variable in our income. So is being first in line when layoffs hit.
A plan built only on “work harder” leaves that risk completely unaddressed.

A question worth asking: what happens to your safety net the day your job ends? For many people, the group insurance, disability coverage, and health plan all walk out the door with the badge.

That’s why portable protection matters. Coverage you own personally stays yours through layoffs, career pivots, and every “we’ve decided to go in a different direction” email. One example is a permanent life insurance policy with an accelerated benefit rider, which can let you access your death benefit while you’re living if you’re diagnosed with a qualifying chronic or critical illness. Details, costs, and what counts as “qualifying” vary a lot by policy, so read the fine print and compare before you buy.

It won’t fix systemic problems. It can make sure one bad break at one employer doesn’t unravel everything you’ve built.

Save this and check what coverage you have that doesn’t depend on your job. 👇

There was a stretch in my life when making a cup of tea took two hours, because I kept forgetting what I was doing halfway through.
When getting the mail or doing laundry right outside my door frightended me.
A to-do list wasn’t a list. It was a wall.
🌧️
If you’re in a season like that (overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or all three), here’s one of the things that worked for me:
You don’t have to do everything today. Pick ONE thing, and make it small enough to feel manageable in the state you’re in right now. A shower. A glass of water. One email. Getting off the bed and onto the couch.
✨
Do it, then pause and acknowledge it. You did something, and that counts. If there’s energy for another small thing, wonderful. If not, that’s okay too. We tend to believe it only counts if we do it all, but small steps stack up, and momentum starts with one manageable action. Tomorrow, you can do one thing again. Same one or a different one.

Progress isn’t linear, and I’m still learning to be patient with mine.
💙
What’s your one thing today? Tell me below 👇 or send it to someone who needs the reminder.

Small, consistent actions create lasting transformation. You don't need a full life overhaul, you need five good minutes, repeated.
🕯️
I'll be honest with you: I'm off the horse on this one right now. Between everything on my plate lately, some of my own daily habits have quietly fallen apart, and my body and mind are both letting me know about it. So this post is as much a reminder to myself as it is to you.

The Ayurvedic concept of dinacharya, a daily routine aligned with natural rhythms, teaches that consistency itself is the medicine. Not one big dramatic overhaul. Just the small stuff, done on repeat: waking at a consistent time, drinking warm water first thing, moving your body, eating on a rhythm, a few quiet minutes before bed.

When we're stressed or struggling, routine is usually the first thing to go, and that's exactly when we need it most. It's not about being perfect. It's about picking one thing and giving it back its place in your day.

The graphic I made are small visual reminders of what "getting back to basics" can look like in real life. Pick one. Just one. Start there.

What's the small habit you know you need to bring back right now? I'd love to know, maybe we can hold each other accountable. 💬

Slow season. Peak season. Some months you're stacking overtime, some months you're counting on tips that didn't show up.
Most financial advice assumes a paycheck that looks the same every two weeks. Yours doesn't, and that's not a flaw in your planning, it's just the job.
📊
One tool built for exactly this: universal life insurance policies come with flexible premiums, meaning you can pay more when business is booming and scale back during the slow months, without losing the coverage or the cash value you've already built.
✅
It's less about finding one perfect budgeting formula, and more about having financial tools that bend when your income does.
💪
Save this for slow season. How do you personally smooth out the highs and lows?

People know me for cheese and w**e, but tea has been right up there this whole time. At any given moment I have over a dozen varieties in my cabinet. I once had a poster on my wall of about 60 different tea types from my favorite tea company, the same energy as those liquor-shot posters a lot of us had in our 20s, just swap the Slippery Ni**le for Jasmine Green.
😋
A cinnamon black in the morning and a vanilla chamomile at night is pure bliss for me. Often it's less about the caffiene content or lack therof, and more about the ritual of wrapping my hands around a warm mug and just being present with it.
☕️
Different teas show up for different needs. Green tea for gentle energy. Chamomile to wind down. Peppermint for digestion and mental clarity. Ginger for nausea and inflammation. Rooibos if you want the antioxidants without any caffeine. Tulsi (holy basil) is adaptogenic and helps the body handle stress.
😌
If you're trying to cut back on coffee or ditch the sugary sodas, tea is a satisfying swap, not a consolation prize. Keep a few varieties around so you can pick based on your mood. Use the mug you love, brew it properly, sit somewhere comfortable, and give yourself the few minutes.
✨
What's in your tea cabinet right now? I'd love to know. 💬
