CREATOR • VETERAN • HEALER • ARTIST

 

Unapologetically raw. Powerfully intuitive. Fully embodied.

​

Welcome to the official site of Sam Juan, a U.S. Army combat veteran, artist, content creator, and walking permission slip for healing and truth.

​

I’m a Filipino-Persian force of nature, raised in Bahrain, shaped by war, and guided by the sacred. My story isn't linear—it's layered. I’ve led missions alongside Navy SEALs in Afghanistan, walked the shadows of trauma and addiction, and reclaimed my power through ritual, art, and soul work. Today, I help others do the same.

​

As one of the first females selected for the Cultural Support Team program and a Pat Tillman Foundation Scholar, I’ve stood at the intersection of service, resilience, and reinvention. My academic roots run deep—from a BFA in Drawing & Design at Old Dominion University to a Master’s of Liberal Studies from Johns Hopkins. My life is the living artwork of reintegration: veteran to visionary, soldier to storyteller, warrior to healer.

​

Now, I speak.

From production sets to sacred circles, I hold space for truth, transformation, and taboo conversations. I teach leaders and communities how to return to themselves—through creativity, courage, and conscious leadership. Whether I’m sharing my experiences with plant medicine, building bridges across cultural divides, or guiding others toward purpose, one thing remains clear: everything that’s happened for me is now fuel for helping others rise.

​

Let’s Connect

​

Whether on a stage, in a circle, or on your screen, I bring all of myself unapologetically. My voice carries the weight of lived experience and the spark of future timelines. I’ve done the inner work. I’m still doing it. And I invite others to do the same—with grit, grace, and divine feminine magic.

Reach out below, and let’s create something that matters.​​

In service,
Samantha Juan​
