How do you want your body (and your life) to feel in the year ahead?

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber kicks off a 4-part end-of-year mini-series designed to help you enter 2026 feeling grounded, energized, and intentional. This week’s focus: your health — not the resolutions, not the pressure, but the actual daily choices that support your body, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect you to your creativity and vitality.

Amber shares the deeply honest questions she asks herself at the end of every year, breaks down how avoidance and convenience sabotage our well-being, and explains why your nervous system is the most important data source you have. She also talks about rekindling her connection to movement, tending to her femininity and sexuality, and setting health goals that are about living well, not “fixing” yourself.

Amber also shares core reflection questions and episodes to revisit as you set yourself up for a more grounded, aligned, and creatively alive year.

When was the last time you spoke kindly to yourself?

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber delves into the science and soul of self-kindness — and why being harsh on yourself doesn’t make you stronger, it actually makes you stuck. Amber unpacks how negative self-talk floods your body with stress hormones, shuts down intuition, and keeps you from feeling safe in your own skin.

She breaks down the neuroscience behind self-compassion, explains how to calm your brain’s threat system, and gives practical steps to start being gentler with yourself (especially when life feels messy).

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Interrupt harsh self-talk before it spirals
✅ Rebuild trust in your intuition after setbacks
✅ Shift from judgment to observation
✅ Give yourself what you need, not what you think you’ve earned
✅ Practice daily acts of care that help your brain and body heal

Are you always the one who checks in first, plans the hangouts, or gives the most – but no one ever checks on you? You might be in a one-sided relationship, and it’s time to talk about it.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber breaks down how to spot imbalance in your relationships… not just romantic ones, but friendships, work dynamics, and even family. She opens up about her own experiences as a natural giver and what happens when generosity turns into exhaustion. Amber shares practical ways to rebalance your relationships, start important conversations, and protect your energy without guilt or resentment.

You’ll learn how to:
✅ Identify when a connection has become one-sided
✅ Have honest, non-confrontational conversations about imbalance
✅ Step back with grace and reduce access where needed
✅ Let go of people who only take without giving
✅ Recognize and nurture the relationships that truly refill you
