What is life coaching?
Watch this short video to learn more about what life coaching is, what you can overcome and achieve by working with a life coach, & how I can help you.
Is this you?
…you feel like you miss out on things because of self-doubt.
…you feel overwhelmed and second-guess your decisions.
…you tend to be a “people-pleaser” and struggle with setting boundaries.
…you overthink things and get in your own way, and feel like you can’t fully enjoy your life.
…maybe you know you need or want a change, but can’t seem to take the first step.
…maybe you have goals, but every time you try to do something, you get stuck.
…you have trouble speaking up in your relationships.
…you tend to worry about what other people might think.
….when problems come up during your day, you feel overwhelmed and defeated and don’t know how to move past them.
…you tell yourself you’ll do something, only to realize days/weeks/months have gone by and you've found yourself no closer to changing anything.
Believe me, I get it. It’s easy to get overwhelmed. And we all experience self-doubt and anxious thoughts at some point. But let me ask you this - what is it costing you to stay where you are in your life right now?
This is for women who are tired of the overwhelm, the stress, and the feeling of being stuck & wanting more from your life...

Meet Samantha Buck, your Empowerment Life Coach in Boise, Idaho
I know what’s like to be TIRED of feeling stuck and wanting MORE out of my life.
I know first-hand what it’s like to struggle with self-doubt, overwhelm, anxiety, people-pleasing, and feeling like I don’t have control over my own life. Life coaching has completely changed how I feel, what I do, and how I experience my life – and now I get to help others change their lives, too.
I’m Samantha - a professionally certified life coach and empowerment coach educated through the International Coaching Federation. My coaching philosophy is that you already have the answers you need inside you, and we all have an inner warrior who knows what we need to feel balanced and fulfilled in life. And it’s my job to help you connect with that inner warrior and show you some powerful tools to develop your self-trust and confidence, so you can learn to truly thrive and live the life that you desire.
In my individual life coaching program, I help you stop feeling stuck, overcome self-doubt, and end overwhelm, so you can feel confident to conquer challenges and have more peace in your life. I’ll help you feel inspired and empowered – from the inside out.
You can learn to shift your whole perspective and your life. I’ll help you do it.
What sets me apart:
-
The International Coaching Federation is the largest life coaching organizations in the world. Their coaching philosophy is that the client has their own answers and solutions, and the coach acts as a powerful guide to help uncover them. Because of this, ICF coaching consists of collaboration and asking deep, powerful questions to help you think differently.
-
This program is effective because it’s a unique combination of mindset training, self-care focus, and strengthening your sense of personal power and self-trust based on my unique background, training, and experience. It’s different from anything else you’ve tried because it doesn’t only focus on the mind, physical body, emotions, or energy, but rather, focuses on you as a whole person.
-
I believe in coaching each person with a holistic approach, because your body, mind, and emotions all tie in together and affect one another. I use a variety of strategies and techniques to help you shift your ways of thinking, regulate your nervous system, understand your emotions, and step into your inner warrior - but I also give you plenty of room to explore (with me guiding and supporting you every step of the way), because what works for you is going to be specific to you as an individual.
-
Unlike other programs that either tell you exactly what to do OR leave you to your own devices entirely, I act as your guide, safe space, and accountability partner - giving you plenty of strategies and tools while also giving you freedom and space to explore, so that we work together to come up with solutions that work specifically for you in your life.
-
Because of my experience as an empath and HSP, I can relate to a lot of what my clients are experiencing. It took me a long time to learn to embrace who I was, set and maintain boundaries, advocate for myself, and go after what I really wanted, how I wanted to. I have many tools and strategies to share with clients based on my training and experience, so we can figure out what works for them.
-
I’m committed to helping you walk away from our partnership feeling empowered, with more confidence, and more peace in your life. Together we outline your goals - what you want to accomplish, how you want to feel - and then get to work. It can be challenging sometimes, and it can also be really fun! I’ve had clients tell me that our sessions are their favorite hour of the week, because it’s a time when they get to just talk, work through what they may be feeling, and have someone fully focused on how to help them move forward.

“Sam is an absolute gem of a life coach. I came into this not knowing exactly what to expect and came out with an absolutely incredible experience. Sam is an amazing listener, never judging you, no matter how much you judge yourself. She listens patiently, raises just the right questions, and really helps you to come up with a solution that would be undoubtedly YOU. She has been with me through a rollercoaster of ups and lows, always celebrating every small win (no matter how small) of mine and encouraging me and supporting me when any struggles came along. I cannot recommend Sam enough.”

“Sam is an incredible life coach. She has such a calm and grounding presence and makes you feel safe to bare your soul to her. She also asks very powerful questions and has led me through many deep breakthroughs when I was her coaching client. I worked with Sam for 6 months and plan to work with her again next time I need some up-leveling in my life and business! She helped me organize and gather my chaotic thoughts and energy both in my personal life and with my business and job situations. Sam helped me gain the confidence to navigate one of the hardest breakups of my entire life, she supported me while I quit my day job to go full time in my business, she also helped me shift my mindset around a plethora of things I was a big negative about and share some amazing resources with me. Sam is just amazing!!! I highly recommend Sam to anyone who wants a very loving, grounding life coach who will guide you through tough emotions, huge life changes, and emotional support.”

“I recently had the opportunity to have Sam as my coach and I’m so glad that I worked with her. She’s a very gentle soul and she held space for me week after week as I looked within me to find the limiting beliefs that were blocking me from my desires.She helped me change my perspective on so many things, and that’s what happens when you allow yourself to be guided. She asked me thought-provoking questions that led to many insights during our time together and most importantly, I found my warrior within. If you’re looking for a coach to listen without judgment, hold space for you, guide you and find your inner warrior, then Sam is the coach for you!”

FAQs
How much should a life coach cost?
There is a wide range of pricing in the life coaching industry, but most coaches charge anywhere from $50 to $300 per hour. The majority of life coaches will charge per package, rather than per session. This means that they are offering coaching programs that include a certain number of sessions (for example, a three-month program with 12 sessions), and may include additional resources as well. Because the life coaching industry is currently unregulated, it’s entirely up to the coach to determine their own pricing and may vary greatly depending on their qualifications, experience, and length/type of coaching program they are offering.
How is a life coach different from a therapist?
There can be some overlap, but life coaches are not the same as therapists. Life coaches are not qualified to make diagnoses or treat severe mental illnesses.
They are future-focused, meaning that while sometimes events or issues of the past may come up, they help guide you to move forward from them. Whereas, your therapist would be the one who would dive deeper into your feelings and the underlying issues from your past, helping you to process them in depth.
Sometimes, people who have seen or are seeing a therapist will also meet with a coach. It can be an amazing combination because (just as one example) a therapist can help you prioritize your mental health and process trauma or underlying issues, and a coach can help you to move forward with your goals.
If you have mental health conditions that deeply affect your everyday life and aren’t allowing you to move forward, it’s encouraged for you to see a mental health professional.
Why hire a life coach?
Working with a life coach is very different than simply having someone to talk to. Whereas you may be able to confide in friends and family and ask for advice, they all have their own biases, whether they know it or not! A good life coach is trained to listen actively and ask deep, thought-provoking questions to help you come up with your own answers and solutions. It’s their job to show up for you with curiosity, and without judgment or personal agenda. That is a very different type of support and resource than anyone else in your life, and the benefits can be amazing.
When you work with a life coach trained through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), we are trained to listen and ask deep, thought-provoking questions to help you think differently and get to the root of the problem. This kind of coaching is incredibly powerful, because we can point out patterns and behaviors you may not be seeing that are holding you back, often leading to many a-ha moments and breakthroughs. We also partner with you to co-create action plans and talk about accountability measures (depending on what kind of goal you’re working on or challenge you’re working through), so that we’re working together to create solutions that work specifically for you in your life - and empowering you to build trust in yourself.
Depending on the specific type of coaching, the results can include:
Clarity in your life purpose
Increased confidence and self-esteem
Improved relationships, both romantic and not
Implementation of new healthy habits
Shifts in your mindset and how you approach problems
Having someone in your corner to cheer you on and celebrate your accomplishments, big and small
Having someone who can help you stay on track with your goals and hold you accountable to the steps you set for yourself
Having someone who will listen to your biggest goals and dreams without judgment
Having someone who will take the time to co-create a plan with you to set yourself up for success in whatever goals you decide to pursue
And depending on the coach and area you’re working on, so much more!
What should I look for when hiring a life coach?
Not all life coaches have certification (and there are some great life coaches who aren’t certified), but I highly recommend searching for a coach who has had training under the International Coaching Federation (ICF). This is the most widely recognized life coaching organization in the world, and they have high standards in terms of respecting and empowering the client (you). Their philosophy is that the client has their own answers and it’s the coach’s job to act as their guide, providing support, powerful questions, a safe space, accountability, and resources to help empower you - NOT just tell you exactly what to do.
Along with some sort of training, a coach’s energy and presence is also important. If you are going to be working with a coach, whether it’s 1:1 or in a group setting, you want to make sure you feel comfortable and safe with them. While your coach may ask challenging questions at times when you work together, you should always feel respected and supported. Most coaches offer consults or discovery calls to meet with you before you commit to working together, so that you can ask questions and get a feel for who they are and how they show up. You can also get a feel for them based on their content and what they have put out into the world.
Hiring a life coach is exciting! Trust your intuition and don’t hesitate to ask questions if you’re not sure.
