  • “A huge part of our generation neglects sleep. Sampson helped us recognize the importance of sleep in all aspects of our lives. She taught us how to be more productive and maximize our sleep and restfulness.”

    ~ Student Athlete

  • "Getting to work with this amazing woman that I get the privilege of calling a coach has shown me what it means to be a well rounded athlete. She has taught me that the mindset and mental wellness of an athlete is just as important as the physical work in practice. I have never felt anything but supported and empowered when I work with Coach Sampson (Annemarie). She puts together routines to develop your mind and your performance to take you to the next level. I have a lifelong love for running and respect for the art of yoga all thanks to this wonderful human. I couldn’t be more thankful that I got the chance to work with Annemarie, there truly is no one like her!"

If by the slim chance she doesn't know... she will find out and can then write a polished documentary on the subject.

Archived Reviews from Less Media More Me Website

Check out the reviews below from our previous sister platform, Less Media More Me, that was created and run by Annemarie Sampson, Payton Golwas, and Sarah Townsend. Our mission for Less Media More Me was to provide specific information on digital wellness and why it’s important to develop and maintain a healthy relationship with technology (especially social media). The majority of the resources from our previous website have since been combined with the content on this website, so if you are curious and/or interested in learning more about digital wellness, head over to the “Digital Wellness” blogs/vlogs section here!

“It was so great to see a young women, similar to me, open up and be so vulnerable about her struggles. Golwas explained how she overcame her struggles and regained control over her life. Golwas also emphasized the importance of asking for help and that no struggle is too small to ask for help. I felt understood and appreciated how she recognize and normalized that everyone had struggles.”

~ Student Athlete

“Sampson facilitated a safe and open environment by asking Golwas meaningful questions that helped guide the conversation. I am so grateful to both of them for their openness and willingness to share their stories. I greatly benefited from this experience.”

~ Student Athlete

“Through conversing about social media and the detrimental effects that it can have on people, especially teenagers, we learned a lot. Sampson and Golwas helped guide us through navigating social media. Their honesty about their personal experiences with social media was really comforting and inspiring.”

~ Student Athlete

“The ladies of less media more me share really insightful and powerful information in regards to social media and mental health. As a high school teacher and coach the information Payton, Sarah and Annemarie talk about is very relatable to my students. Their real life examples of their own circumstances helped me be more aware of the various outside pressures my students are dealing with on social media. These ladies are making a real impact on mindfulness, mental health, and encouraging others to be more present in their everyday lives.”
