Your female employees are not okay.

Sam helps companies retain, advance, and take care of the women on their team and in their families, providing 1:1 human Expert support across caregiving, career, leadership, grief, wellness, and more.

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.

This is not a women's issue. It's an economic issue, a business issue, and retention crisis and you are likely already seeing and feeling it.

Sam fills your benefits stack gaps.

  • 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?"

Employees remain overwhelmed, distracted, and stressed.

We’d love to meet you

What is Sam?

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.

  • Role/team transitions, leadership/promotion opportunities, workplace challenges, or working on executive presence

  • Preparing for parental leave, returning to work after leave, navigating tough family conversations, balancing eldercare with career, or parenting with intention

  • Burnout, stagnation, chronic illness, work-life balance, or loss of confidence

  • Loss of a loved one, identity, or past

  • Empty nesting, aging solo, or upcoming retirement

  • Divorce, looking for community, or relationship with your body after a health diagnosis

Not therapy or a hotline. We do not use AI.

Our model for Employers

An all-woman team of Experts in their corner. Women, not AI.

Every employee gets a Navigator to match them to the right Experts, check-in, and help to manage progress and forward-motion.

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.

FAQs

  • We can launch in days. No integrations or heavy operational burden needed.

  • It depends on which model you would like to offer. Contact us to discuss your needs.

  • Privacy and trust are everything to us. Conversations with Navigators, Experts, and within the community are safe, secure, and confidential. They are not shared outside the respective parties.

  • Absolutely. We can limit what support categories your employees can get.

  • EAPs are broad and reactive; Sam is specific and proactive. Where your EAP hands employees a directory, Sam hands them a human Navigator, a matched Expert, and a Support Plan tailored to exactly what they're going through.

  • Definitely! That’s the goal. Sam is designed to complement, not compete.

  • Sam is inclusive and can be offered to support the women in their lives (wives, mothers, daughters, and friends).

  • “I arrived with a 'collision' of health news and relationship shifts. My Navigator didn't just listen—she curated the exact Experts I needed to move from overwhelm to a concrete plan.”

    -Alicia, Sam Client

  • “What differentiates Sam is the caliber of the Experts. Knowing these professionals are vetted to a 1% standard gave me the confidence to share my most private challenges. I walked away with more than insight; I walked away with a way forward.”

    -Natasha, Sam Client

  • "I was navigating a high-stakes career pivot just as my family entered a complex season of eldercare. Sam didn't just give me advice; they gave me a unified strategy that honored both my professional legacy and my role as a daughter. I felt seen in the totality of my life, not just a slice of it."
