EVERYONE HAS A SAM by Rosi Greenberg
Know that inner voice that says we're not good enough, too much this or not enough that? That's the inner critic, or imposter syndrome, and it holds us back from reaching our true leadership potential. Rosi Greenberg invites us to explore the origins of the inner critic, see its positive intent while saying NO to its negative impact, and offer ourselves a new, more loving inner voice. Everyone Has a Sam is a fresh take on self-help, bringing together the vulnerability and psychology of Brene Brown with the humor and illustrations of Shel Silverstein. Rosi Greenberg brings Internal Family Systems psychology to life with simple illustrations and poignant text. BUY NOW: Amazon or Bookshop.org |
"Rosi Greenberg's Everyone has a Sam is a masterpiece.
In its refined simplicity both visually and thematically it uniquely invokes simultaneously to the transcendent perspective of awareness and love that enables us to do deep healing work and tenderly calls to the most hurt dimensions of our psyche. A perfect offering for any age it portrays the hope of self-acceptance, self-blessing and true transformation.
I offer my highest possible recommendation for this inspired and poignant book."

Praise for Live Into Leadership, Rosi's workshop based on Everyone Has a Sam:
Rosi's Live Into Leadership program helped me step into my own unique strengths.
Once I was able to identify what my inner critic (born from societal/familial expectations) was telling me I *should* be doing, I was able to clearly see what I *could* be doing. It has helped me bring my whole, authentic self to the table.
-- Lacey Connelly
Rosi is an amazing facilitator and leads the co-creation of a powerful space where I felt safely seen, held, and empowered to be my best vulnerable self. Gaining clarity around the inner critic really is a doorway into stepping into a powerful version of yourself. I've learned who my inner critic is, where it comes from, and how to build a healthier relationship with my inner critic, all while making beautiful connections in community. I have never felt as empowered, confident, capable, loved, and hopeful to continue authentically stepping up in my life and work.
-- Dahlia Quintanilla
This program is illuminating! I could understand very deep layers of my inner critic and naturally find ways to be more compassionate to myself and live more freely without questioning my every move and feeling. I found acceptance, patience, and love for myself, and a loving community of people that made me feel heard and accepted and were able to put into words and images many of my own feelings and struggles.
-- Ale J
This cohort helped me not only identify my inner critic, but really get to know her and why she's there. After the cohort, I've been able to team up with her in a way that allows me to have confidence now that she knows she doesn't need to protect me anymore.
-- A.G.
Rosi has the amazing ability to walk alongside people with such authenticity that they don't even realize she is actually guiding them. It's a true gift.
