Real Talk Sports Parents

Hi, I’m Samantha Arsenault Livingstone—Olympic gold medalist, high-performance consultant, speaker, and mental health advocate.

At 32, everything I thought I knew about life, love, and the pursuit of excellence came crashing down when my then 12-month-old daughter faced multiple near-death experiences following open-heart surgery. Navigating this experience taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Healing wasn’t just about pushing through with grit—it was about learning to release stored stress and trauma, and embracing self-compassion and grace as fundamental skills in rising through hard things.

I’ve been blessed with the guidance of incredible mentors, healers, coaches, and teachers. It’s my soul mission to pay forward the lessons I’ve learned along the way—about high achievement, resilience, and finding fulfillment in the striving - by exploring the edges of mindfulness, neuroscience, psychology, spirituality and quantum physics.

Grateful you're here!

Love,

Samantha
