In this reflective holiday newsletter, Amber shares how letting go of expectations and traditions opened space for grace during a season that looked very different than years past. She invites readers to experiment with receiving life as it is, noticing resistance through the body, and reconnecting with the nervous system’s quiet wisdom. The piece closes with a gift: access to all three Guest Faculty webinars from The School for Humaning Well, offering support and simplicity through mind, body, and heart as the year comes to a close.

This piece explores the idea of “emotional weather”—the ever-changing storms, low moods, and shaky moments that move through our system—and how our freedom comes not from fixing or outrunning them, but from remembering we’re the sky they move through. Instead of treating fear, sadness, or insecurity as problems to solve, Amber invites you into a different relationship with your experience: one rooted in safety, awareness, and the truth of who you really are. She also shares how this is at the heart of The School for Humaning Well, a six-month journey designed to help you meet your inner weather with more compassion, clarity, and wisdom. Read more now...

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...

This newsletter introduces a new video masterclass that reframes how we approach goals, success, and the new year. Instead of chasing outcomes or relying on willpower, it explores the profound difference between achieving and receiving — and how shifting into the “Game of Life” dissolves pressure, restores clarity, and reconnects you with the deeper intelligence that already knows your next step. You’ll learn key distinctions, hear real-life examples, and receive a fresh, grounded way to create from truth rather than fear. If you’re craving a more easeful, aligned way to move into the year ahead, this masterclass will support you. Read more now...

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...

This article looks beneath our urges—overeating, overthinking, overworking, people-pleasing—to reveal the nervous system patterns driving them. Amber shares an intimate story of waking up in a survival response after recording a podcast, illustrating how urges arise from old safety strategies and how turning toward the body softens everything. She offers a compassionate framework for meeting your experience and links to a podcast conversation with Holly Perkins on subconscious patterns and self-trust.. Read more now...

In this reflection, Amber draws a parallel between the mythic story of Hadestown and the heartbreak and hope of modern life. She explores how constant exposure to suffering—through news, social media, and the pace of daily demands—affects our nervous systems in ways we rarely recognize. Featuring Kendra Cover’s short video Collapse, Amber invites readers to pause, notice, and let the body complete what it starts, rather than numbing or rushing past the pain. The piece concludes with an invitation to join Kendra’s free upcoming webinar, Cultivating Safety: Embodiment, Intimacy & the Nervous System (Nov 13), where participants will learn to find safety within the body and reconnect with the wisdom already guiding them home.

In this Humaning Well reflection, Amber Krzys explores the subtle ways we mistake our identities—success, goodness, strength—as who we truly are, and how this misunderstanding creates suffering. Through her new video masterclass, An Exploration of Identity, she invites us to look beyond the roles we play and reconnect with the deeper intelligence that lives beneath them. This inquiry opens the possibility of real freedom—not by becoming more, but by remembering who we already are. Read more now...

When life feels wrong, the mind says, “This shouldn’t be like this.” In this heartfelt invitation, Amber Krzys shares how that innocent thought quietly fuels collective suffering—and how meeting it with curiosity can open space for healing and wisdom. She introduces This Shouldn’t Be Like This: An Evening of Real-Time Self-Inquiry—a free 90-minute live workshop designed to help you explore this story in your own life, soften the mind’s grip, and reconnect with the intelligence of life that’s always guiding you, even in the hardest moments.

When pain goes unmet, it doesn’t disappear—it hides in the shadows and drives our behavior from beneath the surface. In this reflection on Trump’s recent comments about an “invasion from within,” Amber Krzys explores how unhealed pain can manifest as control, anger, and blame—both individually and collectively—and how true leadership begins when we turn inward to meet our own upset with compassion.

In this short video, I share a real-time experience with neck pain and what it taught me about how we relate to discomfort. You’ll see how quickly the mind piles on stories that escalate suffering—and how softening the nervous system can reveal what’s really underneath. This is about more than physical pain: it’s about meeting any moment that feels unbearable with curiosity, compassion, and presence, so we can stop bracing, let go of the mental storm, and find relief right where we are.

So much of what we fear isn’t real — it’s imagined. Our minds spin stories about the future, and we react to those stories as if they’re true. That’s why anxiety and old habits can feel so inescapable. In this free live webinar, psychologist and author Dr. Amy Johnson will explore the difference between imagination and reality, why our minds do what they do, and how freedom becomes possible when we see through the mind’s stories.

We live in a culture obsessed with fast—quick fixes, instant results, and overnight transformations. But real, sustainable change rarely comes from “fast.” In this post, I share my own body journey—how chasing speed left me wrecked inside, and how choosing the slower path of healing and nourishment is bringing results that actually last. I also introduce Holly Perkins, a women’s strength expert whose free 3-day workshop, Midlife Muscle Mastery, offers powerful tools to help women build strength, balance hormones, and transform their health in a sustainable way.

In a time when freedom feels fragile, this reflection explores how true liberation begins within — by meeting our anger, grief, and fear with compassion rather than blame.

If you’re craving a deeper sense of clarity, grounding, and trust in yourself, this piece is for you. Read more now...
