She Hit Rock Bottom at 54 — Now Samantha Gilbert Is Rebuilding Stronger Than Ever (S8 E9)
Description
At 54, Samantha Gilbert broke down — physically, emotionally, and professionally. Now, she’s rewriting her story from the ground up, and doing it on her terms.
Sam built her career from the ground up, rising through the male-dominated construction world and leading multimillion-pound projects. She never followed the script: never married, no kids, fiercely independent.
But at 54, it all came undone. After a hysterectomy, menopause, and years of pushing through, her body and mind said: enough. A long health battle, an emotional crash, and the end of a 15-year relationship forced her to stop for the first time in her life. She couldn’t work. Could barely function. Everything she knew about herself was called into question.
In this episode, Samantha speaks candidly about hitting the wall — and the long, uncertain journey of climbing back.Together, we unpack Sam’s journey of becoming a project manager, the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field, and the importance of taking time for oneself. From strength training to self-reflection, this episode is about power.
But not the loud kind.
The kind that whispers: “Start again. This time, for you.”
