Whatever your traumatic moment it changed you forever in the way you live, parent, work, and connect to others. Join Molly Carroll licensed therapist, TED speaker, published author, corporate speaker, and coach as she shares the stories of actors, athletes, thought-leaders, healers, teachers, and warriors and how their “cracking open” moment changed their lives and will change your life too.

Designer for the Stars, Samantha Myer, Shares About Loss and Love

July 11, 2024 • Molly Carroll, MA, LPC • Episode 66

Do you believe in synchronicity? Our guest today on the Cracking Open podcast embodies the essence of serendipity.

I first encountered Samantha Myer in a Venice, California coffee shop and was drawn to her stylish and distinctive coat/robe/sweater ensemble. Little did I know, her story transcends mere fashion.

Based in Los Angeles, Samantha is a celebrated wardrobe stylist, designer, and the
creative force behind Samantha Myer Studio. She's renowned for the iconic Papa
Sweater, a blend of blanket, sweater, and comforting embrace that I personally
adore.

Samantha's career spans from styling ad campaigns and red carpets to showcasing her designs at New York Fashion Week. Her work has graced the pages of The New York Times, Elle.com, Cosmopolitan, Elle France, and GQ.
In 2014, Samantha made waves in fashion with "Leather Stems" - leather thigh-
high stirrups that transform ankle boots into thigh-highs. Launched at Intermix
Stores nationwide, this innovation marked a pivotal moment in her journey,
leading to collaborations with celebrities such as Alicia Keys.

Beyond her professional achievements, Samantha's designs and identity are
deeply shaped by losing her father at a young age. This experience sparked her involvement with A Caring Hand, a non-profit supporting bereaved children. Samantha's compassion for these young hearts has driven her to use her platform for advocacy and awareness.

In our conversation, Samantha emerges as a captivating storyteller, effortlessly
blending poignant reflections on grief with delightful anecdotes from her life,
including friendships with icons like Lindsay Lohan. Her journey underscores
powerful life lessons about embracing dreams with courage and authenticity.

Love,
Molly
