About
From the age of 9, Sammi was always a helper, from helping her classmates to strangers in the grocery store, she always wanted to do right. In 2017, Sammi was officially diagnosed with depression and anxiety, which spun her world. She was unable to stay in touch with reality, and she realized how important working on herself is. From these experiences, Sammi Beatrice has devoted her life to teaching aspiring entrepreneurs and podcasters to gain clarity to build their empires and find more time. As the host of the Fashion Your Passion Podcast, a motivational lifestyle podcast to help you find your passion, a Motivational Speaker, and the CEO of Your Passion Agency, a podcast management agency helping them focus on their craft and leave out the rest, Sammi has taken the lessons she has learned and pass them off to others. On this website, you can find everything Sammi has to offer, from speaking to her podcast to services she provides through Your Passion Agency. Check it out now!

Noah Arnold Essay of Jewish Thought Award for “A World of Love and Care”
January 10th, 2018
Sammi was kind enough to share her essay with us, as well as some words about being awarded this honor:
“One day in Jewish History class, Ariella spoke of [Noah]. She spoke of how wonderful he was. How he always challenged everyone’s thoughts and how he wanted to know more and he never stopped…
The question: How are mitzvot (commandments) relevant in our lives today? I wrote this essay because it’s something that I am passionate about. Something that I love each day to continue to question and understand. Something that has become more of a prevalent question in my life today than any other day. As I grow, think, and learn so much, it becomes more of a unanswered question and less of a answerable question. I am overjoyed and honored to have been granted this gift.”
