Stress Mess: A Less Stress Podcast
Welcome to Stress Mess: A Stress Less Podcast.
Hosted by me, Samantha Elizabeth—coach, consultant, and a medically diagnosed stressed-out human.
Let’s be real: life is a chaotic dumpster fire sometimes, and stress? It’s the gasoline. Whether it’s work, relationships, your never-ending to-do list, or just existing in a world where emails never stop—this podcast is your judgment-free zone to unpack it all.
Each episode, we’ll dive into the real shit that makes us unravel—and more importantly, how to stitch ourselves back together. Some days it'll be me ranting with love and truth bombs. Other days I’ll bring in guests to spill their stress stories and survival tactics.
Swearing sometimes happens (and that’s okay).
This isn’t your typical "breathe in, breathe out" wellness podcast. It’s honest, occasionally inappropriate, and always aimed at helping you go from a full-blown stress mess… to just slightly less of a mess.
Let’s stress less, together.

Episode 14: Community Over Competition! with Kami Huyse
What does it take to build a thriving community that lasts for more than a decade?
In this episode, I sit down with my friend and mentor, Kami Huyse, co-founder of Social Media Breakfast Houston and CEO of Zoetica Media, to find out.
We talk about:
- The grassroots origins of SMBHOU (and its first 30 attendees on a coffee shop patio)
- How the format evolved to interviews, livestreams, and virtual “Coffee” sessions during COVID
- Launching Smart Social Secrets and Smart Social Mastery to support small business owners
- The philosophy of building community through collaboration, not competition
- What persistence and consistency look like over 16 years — and why they matter
Whether you’re leading a business, a nonprofit, or just trying to grow your network, Kami’s wisdom about resilience and community-building will inspire you.
