Sam Temple is a beloved member of the H3 podcast, which has over 2.89M subscribers and gained over 1.3b views. As the prop master and crew member, she gained a loyal fan following of her own with 112k+ Instagram followers.
Since she was a girl, Sam Temple has lived with obsessive-compulsive disorder—intrusive thoughts that hijacked her mind and drove her to strange behaviors that would give her a little relief from her fears. She had a perfectionist’s fear of disappointing people. She was terrified of guns and other weapons, which would trigger images of harm coming to herself or others.
And those were only a few of the thoughts that possessed her. It took more than a decade for her to find the treatment that makes life with OCD manageable. She has been speaking out now about the disorder and her treatment to let others with OCD know they aren’t alone, and that they can get help. Most recently she shared her story on the Rooted Recovery Stories Podcast which quickly became one of the most viewed episodes.
