A new standard of support
455,000 women left the workforce last year.
One of them worked for you.
THE “SANDWICH GENERATION” WORKFORCE CRISIS: Caregiving/eldercare is one of the fastest-growing, least-supported employee needs. Women are leaving the workforce to care for those they love. Your company can't afford to lose them.

Sam is the missing layer in your benefits stack — practical, human-led support for your employees and their families during specific life moments.
Anyone going through something that is affecting their work.
Sam offers 1:1 personalized, actionable advice by licensed and vetted Experts with 15+ years of subject matter experience. We provide support across seven key domains of a woman’s life where those life moments happen.
Sam is not therapy or a hotline. We do not use AI.
97% of large employers offer an EAP. But average utilization? Under 5%.
Employees aren't using what they have because it wasn't built for real life.
Therapy, content platforms, and wellness stipends don't answer what employees are actually asking:
"Who do I trust?
“Where do I even start?"
Sam fills your benefits stack gaps.
Employees remain overwhelmed, distracted, and stressed.

Our model for Employers
An all-woman team of Experts in their corner. Women, not AI.

Experts are highly vetted (<1% acceptance rate).
Sam solves for: research fatigue, fragmented information, and waitlists.
Personal 1:1 Support Sessions with Experts.
Employers do not receive details on what’s discussed during the sessions.
Private & Confidential
Outcome-based practical support
Each Support Session ends with a personalized Support Plan with actionable next steps.
Sam is built for real life and the modern woman who is struggling with multiple things at once - including emotional and logistical overload.
Designed to complement your existing investments
Sam works alongside:
EAPs
Mental health platforms
Wellness stipends
L&D or CE programs
Think of Sam as the complimentary bridge between what you already offer.
