hey, I'm amber
A 3x bestselling author, speaker & avid journaler guiding you to befriend your inner world.
my north star
Our emotions are not enemies, but rather, profound indicators that signal to us the state of our inner world. They whisper secrets about the unmet needs, desires, and contours of our authentic selves. When we learn to listen, to truly hear the messages they carry, we unlock the door to self-discovery, healing, and inner peace.
The reason I can speak with such certainty about this is because I know this path intimately.
For years, I pushed my uncomfortable feelings to the side and mastered the art of pretending that everything was fine—wonderful, even. But beneath the surface, I battled unresolved wounds, eating disorders, addictions, and anxiety. A panic attack in my 20s sparked a journey toward healing, and that's when I began stripping away who I learned to be to discover who I truly am. This is a path I still walk today.
For more than a decade, I've channeled these experiences into studying mental & emotional well-being, writing three bestselling books, speaking at companies and communities around the world, and leading workshops that empower people to embrace the fullness of who they are.
I hope that my offerings serve as a sanctuary for you to connect with yourself from place of curiosity, compassion, and courage.
