Life Coach Spotlight On Samantha Bennington

Life Coach Spotter put Samantha in the spotlight for an interview on their website. Read an excerpt below and check out the whole interview here!

 How do you help people to reach their goals or find their path/purpose in life?Samantha: Well, we reach their goals/purpose together. First, is awareness or acknowledgement. We need to discover what that “path/purpose” is, then I am there from A-Z. I’m a lil unconventional, I listen as do all coaches do, however,  I really get involved with my clients. I am full of resources & retraining your negative thought patterns are a giant tool for reaching your desired goals. Each person is unique, I find a way that works for them. Again this about the client & not me.

Sorry everyone that I am behind with on things here. I still need to work on that header for the website but I am currently having computer issues so I haven't been able to use photoshop.

Anyway, I haven't posted anything about Samantha in a while but I saw that she wrote a new blog on January 30 called Happiness Within. She sounds like she is in a great place!

Just finished an hour run with Akasha #girlsbestfriend #bestdogintheworld

Samantha's New Website + a Blog About Forgiveness

If you happened to miss the tweets about Samantha's new website then head over to SamanthaBennington.com now and check it out! It's still being worked on but looks great so far.

Samantha posted a blog about forgiveness being a three way street here. Be sure to give it a read.

I've also uploaded a few photos from her photoshoot with Lisa Johnson to the gallery.

KCAA Interview With Samantha

Check out this interview that Samantha did on the KCAA Radio show back in January. Lots of interesting things mentioned like the distribution of a song that Chester did in 2001 with Cyclefly called "Karma Killers" and her upcoming reality tv show with the working title "Hollywood Houseguest".


You can watch the interview at youtube below. I have also upload a MP4 of the video here in case you want to download it.

Quote:

"They have got to be the nicest, most professional, hard working guys I have ever seen, to date, in the music industry. To date! I mean, I'm not even in their day to day life besides parenting; co-parenting, and when I hear new music from them or I see things they've done or work with other artists that work with them...they're just the most talented group of musicians..."

Samantha's twitter + Anna picture

Hey guys!
Just wanted to post a quick update about Samantha and her twitter account in case you were wondering where she went. She did delete her account because she has a lot of (great) things happening in her personal life and she is focusing on that and not worrying with the social network stuff.

You can still keep up with her at samanthabennington.com :).

Also, apologies for the lack of updates here. Things are really busy for me at this time plus there really isn't a lot going on with the ladies at the moment anyway.

That said, Anna did update her twitter picture:

Chester's Rockstar test

Chester took Kerrang's Rockstar Test and made a 84%. You can see the scan here. In it he mentioned that the stupidest thing he ever bought was his divorce...

Samantha's NEW twitter

Okay guys, you can now follow Samantha on her new account @Cherrilucas. She let me know that it was her account herself about an hour ago.

You should probably unfollow the @SamBennington account because she will not post there anymore.
