Let’s be real… most of us are trying to live big lives on emotional overdraft.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber breaks down how to prepare for the new year with more intention, boundaries, and balance instead of burnout. This conversation isn’t about money goals or resolutions - it’s about redefining wealth to include your time, energy, attention, and capacity. Amber shares her own end-of-year process for reorganizing her emotional budget, protecting her peace, and investing in what truly pays off in the long term: clarity, rest, and self-respect.

Learn how to manage your time, identify where you’ve been emotionally overdrawn, decide what (and who) doesn’t deserve your energy in 2026, invest in growth that doesn’t always pay you right away, and build real wealth through consistency, honesty, and intention.

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

Sometimes the truth doesn’t set you free right away – it breaks you open first.

In this raw and vulnerable episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber shares what it feels like when an unexpected truth knocks the wind out of you, and how to begin healing from it. She opens up about being blindsided by betrayal, how deception shakes your confidence, and the emotional labor of rebuilding trust in yourself after being misled.

You’ll learn how to process painful truths without turning the blame inward, rebuild trust in your own intuition, and let go of the need to make sense of someone else’s choices. Amber also shares how to redefine freedom and peace through honesty, move forward with compassion and stronger boundaries, and remind yourself that healing after betrayal isn’t about forgetting… It’s about trusting yourself enough to begin again.

Because yes — the truth really will set you free… but sometimes the road there is messy, emotional, and absolutely worth it.

We talk about “healing” like it’s a destination - but what if it’s actually a lifelong practice?

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions in wellness culture: the myth of being fully healed. From social media epiphanies to real-life lessons that keep resurfacing, Amber shares why healing isn’t about “fixing what’s broken” — it’s about continuously practicing peace, awareness, and compassion for yourself as you grow.

She gets real about her own healing journey, the “epiphany trap” that keeps us stuck in awareness instead of action, and how to stay grounded when old wounds reappear—sharing how to stop chasing “healed” and start practicing healing, recognize when you’re collecting awareness instead of applying it, build a personal peace practice that evolves with you, embrace growth without guilt when old lessons resurface, and stay grounded through mindfulness, boundaries, and grace.

If you’ve ever wondered why healing feels like a loop instead of a finish line — this episode will help you see that you’re not failing; you’re evolving.

"Saying no is honestly one of the best ways that you can ensure that you’re spending your energy with intention."

Today, Amber teaches you how to say no without guilt so you can stop overcommitting, reclaim your time, and live with intention. She breaks down why guilt shows up when we start setting boundaries, how to reframe it as growth instead of rejection, and all of the ways to communicate your “no” clearly without being harsh.

Exhausted from saying yes to everything? This episode will help you recognize the hidden cost of every yes, set boundaries that protect your peace and time. Reframe guilt as wisdom and gratitude, use easy “scripts” for saying no kindly. And teach others to respect your energy.

This isn’t about being rude — it’s about being real. Because when you say no without guilt, you make room for a fuller yes.

"Bullies often are looking for a reaction, and you honestly could just withhold your reaction and don’t give them one."

Adult bullying is real - and it doesn’t always look like playground fights. It looks like the boss who talks down to you in meetings, the friend who makes “jokes” about your insecurities, or the partner who chips away at your confidence and calls it love.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber breaks down how to recognize, respond to, and recover from bullying as an adult: at work, at home, and in friendships. She shares real stories from her own experiences and gives a step-by-step guide to protecting your peace, reclaiming your power, and confronting disrespect without matching anyone’s chaos.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Spot the subtle signs of emotional and professional bullying

✅ Name behavior without shaming people

✅ Set boundaries with calm confidence

✅ Keep your cool when someone’s trying to provoke you

✅ Rebuild your confidence and restore connection after conflict

If you’ve ever been made to feel small so someone else could feel big, this one’s for you.
