You Only Need One Oven
In this article, Amber uses a simple baking metaphor to reveal a profound truth: just as you don’t need a different oven to bake meat, vegetables, and pies, you don’t need separate strategies to “fix” each area of your life. You are the common denominator—and your inner equipment (your thoughts, feelings, nervous system, conditioning, and deeper intelligence) is what “bakes” every experience you have. Most of us innocently try to solve problems in each category separately, never realizing that the real leverage comes from understanding ourselves. Through story and insight, Amber shows how life transforms when we shift at the level of our design—seeing through old patterns, meeting ourselves with honesty, and returning to inner steadiness. This is the essence of The School for Humaning Well. Enrollment closes December 15th. Read more now...

After the Holiday…
In this post-holiday reflection, Amber shares a powerful story about meeting the feeling of “worthlessness” when her clothes no longer fit—and how turning toward the raw sensation beneath the mind’s panic revealed a deeper freedom, worth, and inner safety. She explores why moments of insecurity, shame, or self-judgment aren’t signs that something is wrong, but invitations from our system asking for presence and compassion. This newsletter also includes a short clip from a conversation with Rohini Ross about the habit of self-improvement as a way to escape feeling “not enough,” and what becomes possible when we stop resisting our experience. If you’re feeling tender, scattered, or stirred up post-holiday, this piece will help you soften back into yourself. Read more now...

Visibility, Vulnerability & the Freedom to Be Seen
Visibility and vulnerability are at the heart of being a coach, healer, or service-based leader. In this article, I share how my own journey with performance, likability, and projections revealed the deeper truth: discomfort isn’t about being seen, but about who we think we need to be in order to be seen. When we see through that misunderstanding, visibility becomes neutral, freedom returns, and we’re able to show up authentically—without being swayed by others’ stories or projections. Read now.
