    Episode 20: “Melancholy melodies”
    Sam Ames, 37
    Glendive, Mt

    (Recorded: 12/27/24)


    On this episode of the Hanging with Humans podcast, we sit down with Sam Ames, who shares her captivating life story rooted in the musical beats of Alberton, Montana.
    Growing up surrounded by melodies, from her father's youthful triumph at the gong show to the vibrant tunes played by his mother in local bars, Sam's childhood was a symphony of highs and lows.

    We spoke of navigating the challenging landscapes of familial addiction.
    (A topic that hits home for me)
    Sam opens up about confronting the shadows of her past and the impact it had on her relationships.

    She candidly recounts her mother's struggles with substance abuse and the rippling effects that strain family bonds.

    Out of all the life stories told on this podcast thus far, this one has many similarities to the way I grew up.

    “It’s never too late to make a change.”
    Is something that I wholeheartedly believe in, and are words that I udder often. Sam's journey underscores that completely as we discuss the themes of recovery and healing.

    We both found the importance of camaraderie in high school sports to play the pivotal role of mentorship during dire times.

    There’s a common theme between us. The powerful narrative of overcoming darkness to find strength and reconciliation.

    The journey doesn't end there as Sam explores paths of redemption and purpose.
    The support and the significance of building a stable, loving environment for her own children. Is the redemption that had been sought out for years after years of vicious cycles of being in the grips of addiction.

    Towards the end of this episode. We dive into the complexities of mental health in the digital age, where we share personal coping strategies, including grounding practices and the importance of stepping back from the pressures of social media.

    We speak of the profound gratitude found in everyday joys. That can be sometimes taken for granted. & The importance of moving forward.

    I would like to thank Sam & her wonderful boyfriend Chris (who will be interviewed soon).
    For taking the time out of their busy lives to come spend their Friday evening with me.

    Stay tuned, I have plans for a few more episodes to be recorded before the new year.
    Happy holidays to you and yours. 🎄🎁🪩🎉

    P.s.
    Recording 20 episodes was a huge goal that I wasn’t sure I was going to reach by the new year. But we did it 🙏🏼

    Recorded 12/15/24

    A three-day tattoo session with Autumn Hudson might sound bold, but it's just another chapter in our nearly decade-long friendship. Autumn, who grew up in the remote landscapes of Manhattan, Montana, shares her journey of creativity and solitude.

    Together, Our conversation dives into high school memories of rebellious fashion and art as an outlet for self-expression.

    Art and snowboarding became intertwined passions, but social anxiety and addiction cast long shadows on Autumn's life.

    We discuss eventually overcoming addiction. A transformative stint at an art college that opened new avenues, leading to a self-taught tattooing journey that began with a humble Amazon tattoo machine kit.

    She candidly narrates her road to modeling and professional snowboarding, dreams she’s been chasing since the third grade.

    We spoke of her being thrown into the fire of becoming a business owner unexpectedly after six months of tattooing, which lead to 8 years of owning her shop. (617 Tattoo)

    As opportunities unfolded, Autumn's move from owning a shop in Livingston, Mt to joining Elysium Studios in Grand Junction, Co exemplifies her dedication to learning and growth.

    There are some big announcements on future ambitions and aspirations for artistic growth laid out at the end of the podcast. As well as an almost forgotten reminder of my current & future endeavors.


    Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays 🎄

    I wondered how this 3 day back session would go? (Our second session) 2/3*

    It was the easiest of any tattoo I’ve ever sat through. Why…?
    I think because Emotional pain > Physical pain. But also the anticipation knowing at the end I get to interview one of my closest friends, in the raddest shop I’ve ever stepped into.

    There was also a steak dinner had with her & her boyfriend in the shop when the session was complete. Right before the recording of the podcast. Therapy weekend at its finest. 💯

    I just want to say thank you so much to my dear friend Autumn here for this experience, but mostly for just exemplifying what it is to be a true friend. The best Christmas gift of all! 🎁

    Go check out my homie!
