You’re not who you used to be—and that’s not a bad thing.
Midlife isn’t falling apart—it’s your soul outgrowing the old template.
The second half of life calls for bold moves, radical self-love, and unapologetic choices.
And that is what Being Brave™ is all about.
This isn’t about chasing a brand-new life.
It’s about finally choosing your life—with both hands and a full heart.
Being Brave™ is a 90-day coaching experience for Black women in midlife who are ready to stop playing small and rewrite their story. Whether you’re pivoting careers, leaving a relationship, stepping into love again, or simply craving a deeper, more vibrant life—this is your moment.
Let’s walk it together.
Why Being BRAVE Matters
Do you know any older Black women who seem bitter, angry, or resentful?
That breaks my heart and it doesn’t have to be that way.
The future has a past—and what you choose now will shape how you age, how you love, and how you feel in your own skin.
Just like being a teenager prepares you for adulthood, being a queen-ager sets the stage for how you’ll experience the decades to come. Midlife and menopause bring fire on purpose—because something in you knows it’s time to burn down what no longer fits and rebuild something more true.
This is the moment when the masks start to itch, the old stories get louder, and your soul begins to ask bigger questions. You’ve done so much for others, carried so much, and accomplished plenty—but now it’s time to turn inward and ask:
Where am I pretending I'm okay when I’m not?
Do I trust myself to know what’s best for me now?
Where do I feel most alive—and how can I make room for more of that??
This season is sacred.
Midlife will hold a mirror to your life and ask, "Is this really IT?"
It’s an invitation to realign your life, your relationships, your body, and your beliefs.
Being Brave™ is a soft place to land while you do the bold work of choosing yourself—not because you’re broken, but because you’re evolving. Because you’re ready to live the second half of your life grounded, vibrant, and fully free.
You’ll reconnect with who you’ve always been beneath the roles, the rules, and the responsibilities.
Being Brave™ is where your clarity returns, your voice strengthens, and your inner compass starts pointing forward again. Through coaching, community, and soulful tools, you’ll begin making decisions from wholeness—not fear—and start creating a life that feels good to live now… and beautiful to grow old in.

Every single thing we mapped out on that whiteboard has come to life. My business has grown, my confidence has deepened, and I’ve become bolder in how I show up—from launching new products to using my voice as a speaker and leader. Samara has a gift. There’s never a time I bring her an idea that she doesn’t expand, clarify, and help make real.

You’ll be walking different.

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE BRAND
Your Mentor
I’m Samara Stone—and just like you, I followed the rules. I did life “right,” checking all the boxes and chasing the version of success the world handed me.
But then, at 42, life handed me a plot twist. One that invited me to go off-script, trust my gut, and build something more honest, more soulful, and way more me. I left a marriage that no longer fit, created work that feels good and pays well, and started living fully on my own terms. And baby, I’ve been living ever since.
As a mental health professional and business coach with over 20 years of experience, I’ve helped hundreds of women do the same.
But this season of life? This midlife moment? It’s personal. It’s tender. And it’s yours.
Being Brave™ isn’t about chasing some brand-new life. It’s about finally choosing your life. And I’m here to walk with you while you do.
Because life is for living.
And no matter your age or what you've been through, it's not too late to do it your way.
