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

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.
