About Samantha

Meet Sam.

A life built with precision. A story born
from choosing something more.

Samantha Nazareth is a physician who built the kind of high-achieving NYC life many people spend years chasing, until she began to wonder what else a life could hold. Now a world traveler, certified scuba diving instructor, and shibari rigger, her work explores people, places, pleasure, and the identities we outgrow. I Left Anyway is her debut memoir.

The identities we outgrow can become the stories that set us free.
