Sama Trinder’s Strategies for Navigating Daily Life Struggles

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but Sama Trinder, founder of the B-Corp-certified Bingham Riverhouse and Bhuti Wellbeing, offers a refreshing perspective on how we can navigate our daily challenges. She spoke to me this week on Brave New Girls podcast. Through a combination of mindfulness, movement, and conscious living, Sama has developed strategies to overcome struggles and cultivate inner peace and resilience.

Sama begins by emphasising the importance of mindfulness and meditation. She believes that taking a pause, even for just a few moments, allows us to regain clarity and focus amidst the chaos of daily life. Meditation, she explains, doesn’t need to be complicated; even a brief session of intentional breathing or quiet reflection can reconnect us to our inner strength.

Another cornerstone of Sama’s approach is her connection with nature. Walking by the river or spending time among trees has become a daily ritual for her, offering a grounding experience that helps her feel part of something larger than herself. This practice reminds us that nature has the power to soothe and rejuvenate, even on the most challenging days.

Sama also highlights the importance of movement and nourishment in managing life’s struggles. She advocates for moving your body in ways that feel good—whether that’s yoga, dancing, or simply walking. Physical movement is deeply tied to emotional well-being, as it releases endorphins and provides an outlet for stress. Equally important is nourishing your body with fresh, whole foods and staying hydrated, which she considers foundational to maintaining both physical and emotional resilience.

Community and purpose are also essential to Sama’s strategies. She stresses the importance of surrounding yourself with supportive people who uplift and inspire you. Sama’s work at the Bingham Riverhouse reflects her commitment to building spaces where people can come together, share ideas, and feel a sense of belonging. She also encourages finding a sense of purpose—whether through work, creative expression, or helping others—as a way to stay anchored during life’s challenges.

By blending mindfulness, movement, community, and the healing power of nature, Sama’s strategies create a holistic framework for managing life’s struggles. Her journey is a reminder that we all have the capacity to navigate challenges with grace and resilience by finding what works best for us.

To enhance these practices, you can incorporate the use of essential oils into your daily routine. Oils like lavender, Citrus Fresh, and Valor add a sensory dimension to your self-care rituals, helping your stay calm, energised, or grounded depending on your needs:

• Lavender: A calming oil that supports relaxation and mindfulness. Ideal for meditation or before sleep.

• Citrus Fresh: A zesty, uplifting blend that boosts energy and focus. Perfect for morning routines or midday pick-me-ups.

• Valor: A grounding blend that promotes emotional resilience and balance. Use it during stressful moments or before tackling challenging tasks.

These oils can support your journey by enhancing emotional balance, courage, and the joy needed to form a holistic approach to growth & wellbeing. They can be used in various ways, such as diffusing them, applying them topically (diluted as needed), or incorporating them into meditative or therapeutic practices. Each blend has specific properties that can support emotional well-being, aiding in the journey from suffering to a place of safety, purpose, and healing. I am a Brand Partner with Young Living if you wish to order these oil blends at a discount.
