Sam Darlington - Your coach

First and foremost, I am a mum to 2 beautiful daughters, I am a nurse of 26 years, I manage a team of healthcare workers and I am an accredited coach. I am an expert in finding the right questions to find the best version of you.

Having been one, I help military wives reclaim their own identity and feel more control. The reason I can help you is because I have been on a massive journey of transformation myself. I have been where you are, and I know it can be really hard at times!


I bought into the dream of the military life, and I lost myself within it.

For years I planned the move, found the schools, left my jobs, packed the house, and started again. At the time I was happy to do it, I believed in what it stood for. But in the process, I lost myself and I slowly realised that there would be no recognition or promotions for me.


I was facilitating, supporting, and ensuring everyone around me had their needs met, but I lost sight of what was important to me. What I valued and the aspirations I had.


So I started to focus on myself. I started to focus on what I needed to feel happy, so I could better serve my family. I had totally let myself go and I was not being the best person for me or them.

There’s not much I haven’t come across and lived through!


I decided to stop complaining and I began to look inwards, pushing myself out of the uncomfortable comfort zone that I was sleepwalking through. I thought about what my values were, what was important to me and in that process, I started to find myself and learned that I thrived in all sorts of areas of life.


I was CAPABLE!


Now I can give more and inspire others.

 I took myself from a mentally ill, lost soul to a brave, resilient, inspirational woman who's in full control of life... I now feel alive and motivated; the world is my oyster.

I am passionate about supporting women like you and me – the women who have shared their stories with me and reached out for support.


Let me help you to reclaim your identity, help to give you a strong foundation so that no matter what happens, you can be absolutely sure of yourself. I will help you to create your own plan, map out your goals, and hold you accountable to them!  I am here to guide you, to hold your hand, lift you up, give you resilience and strength to thrive.


If I could go back to the me of 10 years ago, I would tell myself that :

I am important.

I am worthy.

I am crucial.

I am capable of anything!


I want you to feel this way about yourself.


Let’s be real here, you won’t be getting any medals for the truly amazing and selfless work that you are doing to hold it all together, so make sure you award yourself – so you can be the best for everyone else too.
