- Who is Samantha Peo?
Woman, daughter, sister, friend, performer, teacher, seeker.
- What are you up to at the moment?
I have just finished the season 8 of Strictly Come Dancing on the judging panel. I am also performing in corporate entertainment events. And I’m teaching performance and ‘connection’ skills to young talented kids and teenagers.
- Proudest moments in your life thus far?
My proudest moments have been less about achievements and more about those moments when I have had to speak my truth, no matter how difficult it might have been. To have self-belief and to listen to one’s gut and not the ‘noise’ that exists ‘outside’ is the hardest but most affirming thing one can do.
- Who are you closest to?
My mom, dad, and sister. And a handful of amazing soul-filled friends who always leave me feeling filled up after the experience. And the thing they all have in common – a great sense of humour!
- The biggest lie you ever told?
‘That I never lie’ ha! We all tell white lies! The worst lie would be if I ever lied to myself!
- What keeps you motivated?
That life unfolds miraculously moment to moment, and you just have to stay present and aware of all the amazing opportunities that present themselves.
- What can we expect from you?
I am becoming more and more involved in projects that embrace and empower women. Using Art to Educate. A great symmetry.
