The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw: Recent Episodes
Amber Shaw
Are you over 40 and sick and tired of feeling miserable in your skin? Have you tried every single diet on the planet and nothing seems to work? Well, if you answered yes to any of these, you’re in the right place.
At 41, Amber found herself as a divorced single mom searching to find herself and her passion. She realized her purpose is to help women with some of the same struggles she suffered with for most of her life: yoyo dieting, hating her body, lacking confidence, and the overwhelming feeling that she would never love what she saw in the mirror. Until all that changed… she drew a line on the sand and said "yes" to herself. She ditched all the dieting, started to heal her body from the inside out, and learned to love herself again.
In this podcast, you’ll get solutions that actually work, straight-to-the-point advice, lots of compassion, and support from a coach who actually gives a damn. Are you ready, mama?!

Want clients who are already sold before they ever book a call? It starts with building a pre-selling ecosystem that works even when you're not selling.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm wrapping up the Sold Before the Call series by pulling back the curtain on my own pre-selling ecosystem and showing you exactly how I built it leading up to launching The Selling Sprint.
I'm walking you through the exact process I use—from gathering market research and paying attention to what my audience is actually telling me, to building content, emails, Stories, and personal outreach that all work together toward one goal. You'll see how every piece of your business can become part of a system that consistently nurtures, builds trust, and turns warm leads into paying clients.
The best part? You don't need to be launching a big program to use this. Whether you're filling 1:1 coaching spots or preparing for your next launch, the same pre-selling principles apply.
If you've been wondering how to create a business that consistently attracts clients instead of constantly chasing them, then this episode is for you.

Your business already has a sales team, you just don't realize some of them are asleep on the job.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution podcast, I'm walking you through six places in your business that are either helping you sign clients or quietly costing you sales without you even realizing it.
I'm breaking down the six "salespeople" that are already working inside your business and I'll show you what each one is actually supposed to do, why so many coaches are unintentionally losing clients at each stage, and how all of these pieces work together to create a business that consistently attracts and converts the right people.

Your content shouldn't just get attention. It should build trust before you ever make an offer.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sharing one of my favorite storytelling frameworks for creating content that does more than get likes—it helps strangers feel seen, builds trust, and naturally moves them closer to becoming clients.
If you've been following the Sold Before the Call series, you already know that the sale shouldn't happen on the discovery call. It happens through everything you build beforehand.
Today, I'm showing you exactly how to do that through your content.
I'm walking you through my SHIFT Formula—the storytelling framework I teach my clients to create captions that connect on a deeper level, position them as the obvious choice, and become part of a strong pre-selling ecosystem. We'll break down each step of the formula, why storytelling is such a powerful sales skill, and how to stop creating content that simply educates and start creating content that actually converts.
I'll also share real client examples of how this framework has helped women grow their audiences, build trust, and create more conversations that lead to clients.
If you've been wondering why your content gets engagement but isn't turning strangers into buyers, then this episode is for you.

Want easier sales calls? Stop trying to sell on them.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm diving into what I believe is the missing piece almost every coach overlooks when it comes to signing consistent clients: pre-selling.
For years, I've watched coaches pour all their energy into creating content and learning what to say on a discovery call, yet they still struggle to turn conversations into paying clients.
Why? Because almost no one teaches what happens in between.
I'm breaking down the concept of pre-selling—a framework I've refined after 18 years in sales plus seven years as a business coach. It's everything you intentionally build before someone ever books a discovery call, from the trust you create through your content to the conversations you have in the DMs and the connection you build long before an offer is ever made.
When you get this right, your sales calls stop feeling like high-pressure events where you have to convince someone to work with you. Instead, they become a natural confirmation that you're the right fit.
If you've been wondering why people enjoy your content but aren't booking calls—or why your sales calls feel harder than they should—then this episode is for you.

- 00:53 Why pre-selling is the missing piece in most coaching businesses
- 01:54 The "missing middle" between posting content and signing clients
- 05:28 What pre-selling actually means—and why I created this framework

What if the thing keeping your coaching business stuck isn't your content but the way you're thinking about sales?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand-new five-part series called Sold Before the Call, where I'm breaking down the sales mindset and systems I believe the coaching industry has been missing.
When I first started my coaching business, I thought my biggest job was becoming a great coach. What I wasn't prepared for was all the other hats I'd have to wear—copywriter, content creator, marketer, CEO...and the one role nobody really talks about: salesperson.
The truth is, being a great coach and building a successful coaching business are two completely different skill sets. So today I'm sharing why sales isn't a one-time event that happens on a discovery call. It's a mindset. It's a daily practice. And it's the difference between coaches who hope clients show up and coaches who know how to create consistent revenue.
I'll also walk you through the daily habits of top-performing sales professionals, how to shift from passive to active energy, and why learning to think like a sales rep doesn't make you pushy—it makes you a better business owner.
If you've been spending more time perfecting your content than intentionally creating sales opportunities, then this episode is for you.
What I Discuss:
- 00:59 The many hats coaches wear and the one most people avoid
- 02:26 Why sales isn't a single event, but a daily mindset
- 03:10 Why I created the Sold Before the Call series
- 07:00 A preview of my new Selling Sprint program
- 07:59 The trap of avoiding sales by staying "busy" with other tasks
- 10:25 The commission-based mindset that changed how I approach business
- 13:13 The daily habits every coach can borrow from great sales reps
- 16:47 Why follow-up, tracking your numbers, and knowing your pipeline matter
- 21:03 A self-audit to help you identify where you're being passive in your business
- 22:26 Your homework before Part 2 of the series
- 24:04 What's coming next in Sold Before the Call

If you've ever had someone get all the way to a discovery call only to hesitate because of the investment, uncertainty, or fear that coaching won't work for them, this episode is for you.
I'm breaking down why lowering the barrier to entry doesn't mean lowering your value, how a short trial can build trust without giving away your expertise, and why creating quick wins is one of the most powerful ways to help clients confidently move forward.
I'll also walk you through how to structure a coaching trial, how to transition into a natural next-steps conversation, and why the best sales conversations never feel like you're convincing someone to buy.

Have you ever thought, "I know I can coach…so why aren't clients coming in consistently?"
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking to the coach who's already proven she can get clients—but still can't seem to create predictable income.
Maybe you've signed a beta client. Maybe you've landed a client through a referral, networking, or even Instagram. You know you're capable. You know your coaching works. But your business still feels unstable.
In this episode, I'm breaking down why this stage of business is so frustrating, why getting a few clients isn't the same as having a predictable business, and the simple diagnostic I use to figure out where a coaching business is actually breaking down.

Ever walk away from a DM conversation thinking, "I just gave away an entire coaching session and they still didn't become a client?"
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm giving you a little tough love because the way most coaches are handling their DMs is quietly costing them clients—and they don't even realize it.
I see this all the time. A coach gets a message from someone who's struggling, and because she's genuinely caring and wants to help, she immediately jumps into coaching mode. She gives advice, offers strategies, sends voice notes, and pours her heart into helping. But then nothing happens. No sales call, no client, and the coach is left wondering why being more helpful isn't leading to more business.
If you've been giving tons of value in the DMs, feeling drained, or hearing a lot of "thank you" but not getting clients, then this episode is for you.

Ever wonder why it seems like other coaches are signing clients from Instagram so easily…while you're posting consistently and getting nowhere?
The truth is, signing clients from Instagram is actually a very simple funnel—but simple doesn't mean easy. There are specific things that need to happen before someone goes from seeing your content to getting in your DMs, hopping on a call, and becoming a paying client.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden pieces most coaches are missing, the common bottlenecks I see over and over again, and why the problem usually isn't your work ethic—it's the system you're using.
If you've been posting consistently, wondering why Instagram isn't turning into clients, or feeling like everyone else has figured it out except you, then this episode is for you.

It's June. Are you where you thought you'd be in your coaching business by now?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm having the conversation that not enough coaches are willing to have publicly.
Because if we're being honest, there are a lot of coaches who started this year full of excitement and big goals…and now, halfway through the year, they're feeling frustrated, discouraged, and wondering why things haven't clicked yet.
Maybe you've been posting consistently.
Maybe you've invested in courses.
Maybe you've even signed a client or two.
But the traction you hoped for still isn't there.
And when that happens, it's easy to start questioning everything—your niche, your offer, your abilities, and even whether you're cut out for this in the first place.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the parts of entrepreneurship that people rarely talk about: the emotional rollercoaster, the financial pressure, the imposter syndrome, and the reality that becoming a successful coach requires far more than just learning how to coach.
Most importantly, I want you to know that struggling right now does not mean you're failing.
If anything, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone, you're not broken, and you don't have to figure this all out by yourself.

If I asked you right now where your next client is coming from…could you answer confidently?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about one of the biggest differences between coaches who occasionally get clients and coaches who create consistent, predictable income. Because there's a huge difference between getting a client here and there…and actually knowing where your next client is coming from.
If you've been getting clients inconsistently, relying on referrals, or wondering why your business still feels so unpredictable despite all the effort you're putting in, then this episode is for you.

Got a freebie but not sure if it's actually helping you get clients?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm wrapping up our 4-part freebie series by talking about something I think most coaches miss: your freebie is not just a PDF or link in your bio—it's part of a bigger client-attraction system.
I'm breaking down what it actually looks like to turn your freebie into something that consistently brings new people into your world, builds trust, and naturally leads them toward working with you. Because if your freebie is just sitting there getting occasional downloads… but not leading anywhere… then it's probably not doing the job you need it to do.
Inside this episode, I walk you through the full flow—from getting eyes on your freebie, to what happens after someone downloads it, to how to know where the breakdown is if it's not converting.

If your freebie isn't turning into clients, the problem is probably not what you think.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down why so many coaches assume they need to create a brand new freebie…when the real issue is usually somewhere else in the process.
Because I see this happen all the time.
A coach creates a freebie, promotes it for a little while, doesn't immediately get traction and then decides the answer is to create another one. And then another one. Until suddenly they have 10 freebies and still no consistent leads or clients.
But the truth is, your freebie doesn't exist in isolation.
There's an entire process that has to work around it—from people seeing it, understanding it, wanting it, downloading it, consuming it, and then actually taking the next step with you.
And if one part of that process breaks down, the whole thing feels like it's "not converting."
In this episode, I walk you through the full freebie funnel, the five biggest areas where things usually go wrong, and how to actually diagnose the problem before you throw your current freebie away and start over.

Your freebie might be getting downloads but is it attracting actual buyers?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm continuing the freebie series and breaking down how to create a freebie that brings in the right people—not just people who love collecting free stuff.
Because a lot of coaches create freebies backwards.
They start by asking things like:
"What should I give?"
"What would be valuable?"
"What should I include?"
But that's not the right starting point.
The real question is:
"What hyper-specific problem is my ideal client desperately trying to solve right now?"
In this episode, I walk you through the difference between freebies that attract serious buyers versus freebies that attract people who just want more information. We talk about why specificity matters so much, how to create a compelling promise, and why the goal of a freebie is not to teach everything—it's to solve one urgent problem and create a quick win.
If you've been thinking about creating a freebie, or you already have one that's attracting the wrong people (or not converting at all), this episode is going to help you completely rethink how you approach it.

You created a freebie…so why isn't it leading to clients?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand new series all about freebies—what they're actually supposed to do in your business, why so many of them fall flat, and how to use them the right way so they actually generate leads and clients.
Because I see this all the time—coaches spending hours creating guides, PDFs, or templates…only to end up with something that gets a few downloads (maybe), but doesn't actually move anyone forward.
If you've created a freebie that isn't leading to clients or you're thinking about creating one but want to do it right the first time, then this episode is for you.

You're doing all the things…so why aren't clients happening consistently?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down what I call the three non-negotiables—the foundational pieces that actually determine whether your coaching business gets clients or stays stuck in what I call the "messy middle."
Because I know how frustrating it is to feel like you're showing up, posting, and doing what you think you're supposed to be doing but nothing is really moving. No traction, no consistent clients, and definitely no momentum.
And the truth is, it's usually not because you need another strategy or some new "shiny" tactic. It almost always comes down to a breakdown in one (or more) of these three core areas.
So in this episode, I walk you through what those non-negotiables are, how to identify which one might be off in your business, and why focusing here is what actually creates progress—not jumping from one strategy to the next.
If you've been stuck in the messy middle and wondering what's actually broken in your business, then this episode is for you.

You're getting people in your DMs…so why aren't they turning into clients?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down one of the most frustrating parts of building a coaching business—when you're finally getting engagement, conversations are happening but nothing is converting.
Because the truth is, a lot of coaches think the problem is their content. But what I see over and over again is that the breakdown actually happens inside the DMs—in how those conversations are being handled.
And I get it. Nobody really teaches you how to do this. You're trying to be helpful, you don't want to be pushy, and you're just kind of figuring it out as you go. But there are a few very specific mistakes that are quietly costing you clients.
In this episode, I walk you through the three biggest ones I see all the time—why they happen, and what to do instead so you can start leading these conversations in a way that actually moves people forward.

This episode is a little different. It's not just strategy—it's the real, behind-the-scenes of what it looked like for me navigating divorce, financial fear, and the decision to invest in myself when I felt anything but ready.
Today, I'm sharing a very personal story from one of the hardest seasons of my life and how a moment involving a Louis Vuitton bag completely changed the way I think about money, fear, and betting on myself.
If you've been holding back, overthinking, or waiting until you feel "ready" to take the next step in your business, this is your reminder that you don't need more time—you need a decision.

At some point, you have to stop "trying" to build a coaching business…and decide you're actually doing it.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about what I call the $1,000 decision—the moment where you stop treating your business like something you're testing out and start committing to it like it's happening, no matter what.
Because I see this all the time with new coaches. On the surface, it looks like you're doing the work—you're posting, learning, tweaking, trying. But underneath it, there's still hesitation. Still second guessing. Still a part of you that's in "practice mode."
And that's exactly what keeps you stuck.
In this episode, I break down what that shift actually looks like, how to start thinking like a CEO instead of someone just "trying," and why confidence doesn't come before momentum—it comes because of it.
If you've been stuck in "practice mode" and wondering why your business isn't moving forward, then this episode is for you.

Why does getting clients feel so heavy…like every post, every DM, every move has to work?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm sharing one of the biggest shifts that completely changed the way I approach getting clients—and honestly, made my business feel a whole lot lighter.
Because I know what it's like to feel like everything is high-stakes. Like every post has to perform. Every conversation has to turn into a client. And when it doesn't? It's so easy to spiral, overthink, and start questioning everything.
But the truth is, that approach will burn you out fast.
So in this episode, I'm walking you through how to start thinking more like a CEO instead of getting stuck in emotional ups and downs. We talk about why attaching too much meaning to every single action in your business is keeping you stuck—and what to focus on instead if you actually want traction.

You can do all the right things on paper…and still not get clients.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down a pattern I see all the time with new coaches—doing more, trying more, creating more…and still not getting clients.

If you've been stuck in the cycle of trying new things and hoping something finally clicks, this episode will help you zoom out and start looking at your business more strategically so you can stop guessing and start fixing what actually matters.

Have you ever started your coaching business with a clear vision only to realize it doesn't look anything like what you imagined?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I talk about a reality that most successful coaches don't share enough: at some point, you will likely have to let go of the version of the business you originally pictured. Not because you're failing—but because you're learning, evolving, and discovering what actually works.
If you've been questioning whether you're doing something wrong because your business doesn't look the way you thought it would by now, then this episode is for you.

Are you actually stuck or are you just doing the wrong things really consistently?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I zoom out from content strategy and talk about the deeper habits that might be quietly slowing down your growth. Because sometimes the issue isn't your niche, your hooks, or the algorithm—it's how you're operating as a business owner.
I'm breaking down four actions I see all the time that feel productive but are actually keeping you scattered, emotional, and stuck. We're talking about commitment level, CEO mindset, consuming too many opinions, avoiding revenue-producing actions, and why discipline (not mood) builds businesses.

Ever get stuck in the DMs with someone who says they want help but nothing actually moves forward?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something that trips up so many new coaches—how to tell if someone is actually ready to work with you or if they're just venting, looking for validation, or not quite there yet.
I talk about why so many discovery calls go nowhere, why people ghost after saying "yes," and how over-coaching in the DMs is usually a sign that you're missing one key skill: discernment. When you don't know how to spot readiness, you overextend yourself. You over-give and start to feel resentful. And then burnout creeps in.
But when you know what to look for? Everything changes.

If your discovery calls feel like you're educating, building trust, proving credibility, handling objections, and trying to close all in 30–45 minutes…that's way too much weight for one conversation to carry. Your content should be pre-selling for you. It should be nurturing, building trust, and shortening your sales cycle long before someone hops on Zoom.
Today, I walk you through the five questions your content must answer so sales feel less like convincing and more like alignment.

I walk you through why "helpful" content alone can quietly stall your growth, especially if you're leaning on generic advice that sounds good but doesn't actually move someone into decision mode.

Playing it safe online might feel comfortable but what if it's the exact thing keeping you invisible, stuck, and second-guessing your potential as a coach?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking directly to the coach who knows she wants to show up more online…but keeps hesitating. The one tweaking her bio again, rewriting captions she never posts, or hiding behind "productive" tasks instead of actually being seen. I break down why visibility feels so scary, what's really happening underneath that fear, and how taking messy, imperfect action is often the fastest path to clarity, confidence, and clients.
If you've been playing it safe online, waiting to feel more confident before showing up, or hiding behind perfectionism instead of letting yourself be seen, then this episode is for you.

Burnout doesn't always look like total exhaustion or wanting to quit—it can show up quietly, in the way you start dreading sessions or feeling wiped after every call.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about the kind of burnout coaches rarely admit out loud—the kind that creeps in when you're doing "all the right things" but still feel mentally and emotionally drained.
If you've been feeling drained after sessions, questioning whether coaching is really for you, or wondering why something you love is starting to feel heavy, then this episode is for you.

Feeling called to coach but still questioning whether you're actually ready to do this?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the three non-negotiables every coach has to master if you want to feel confident in sessions, trust that you can actually help your clients, and build a coaching business that makes real money—not just one that looks good on Instagram.
So many women doubt themselves not because they aren't capable, but because they don't yet have the structure, skills, or reps that create real confidence. Today, I'm giving you a high-level look at the three foundations I see in every successful coach—and why skipping even one of them is what keeps so many people stuck in fear, imposter syndrome, or overthinking every session.

When a coaching session ends and you're left wondering, "Did I actually help her?"—this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down why coaching sessions sometimes feel flat (even when nothing technically went "wrong") and what's really happening beneath the surface when that doubt creeps in. I share the most common reasons sessions stall, what not to do when that happens, and how to confidently lead the conversation so you don't leave second-guessing yourself. We're talking about coaching leadership, structure, and how to re-anchor a session in real time—without forcing emotion, over-talking, or jumping into advice.

If your coaching sessions feel supportive but you're not sure they're actually moving the needle, this episode will clear things up fast.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down one of the biggest things that trips new coaches up: confusing a coaching conversation with a chat between friends. I talk about why this happens, how it affects your confidence, and what actually separates powerful coaching from well-meaning advice. We'll also get into the two fear buckets I see come up all the time for coaches, and why intentional leadership—not fixing or rescuing—is what creates real client transformation.

Being told to "just be yourself" sounds supportive… until you're sitting in a live coaching session wondering what to say next and whether you're even helping the person in front of you.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I break down why "just be yourself" is actually some of the most misleading advice new coaches receive—and how it can quietly create more anxiety, overthinking, and imposter syndrome than confidence.
If you've been winging your sessions, second-guessing yourself afterward, or wondering if you're cut out for coaching at all, then this episode is for you.

Coaching can feel intimidating—not because it's complicated, but because no one really explains what actually happens in a session.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on what coaching sessions really look like and why they're far less intimidating than most new coaches imagine. We talk about the fear that comes up when you can't hide behind a screen, why that fear doesn't mean you're unqualified, and how having a simple, repeatable flow can completely change how confident you feel in the room. I also walk you through the three core phases of a coaching session, what your role actually is (and isn't), and how to stay in integrity without overstepping into therapy or advice-giving.
If you've been curious about coaching but feel stuck because you don't know what to say, how to lead, or how not to freeze in the moment, then this episode is for you.

Have you ever walked away from a coaching session wondering if you actually helped…or if you just had a "nice conversation"?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down one of the most common fears I hear from new (and even experienced) coaches: How do I know if my coaching is actually working? We're moving out of fear and into evidence, and I'm sharing practical, real-life ways to recognize client progress without overcomplicating it or turning coaching into a data-tracking nightmare.

Have you ever felt called to coach but noticed a quiet fear creeping in the moment you imagine actually doing it? Not just fear of being seen—but fear of messing it up, getting it wrong, or being exposed?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm unpacking what's really underneath that fear so many new coaches feel. We talk about why confidence issues usually aren't about confidence at all, how coaching isn't about fixing people but guiding them, and why caring deeply can actually make the fear feel louder—not smaller. I also share how learning real coaching skills and structure changes everything, and why you don't have to eliminate fear before you start—you just need to understand it.
If you've been wanting to coach but keep hesitating because you're scared you'll do it wrong or won't be good enough, then this episode is for you.

Have you ever looked at how much work you're doing in your coaching business and thought, "Why am I so busy but still not getting clients?" If so, this episode is going to hit home.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down something I see all the time with new (and even not-so-new) coaches: staying busy with tasks that feel productive, but don't actually move the needle. We talk about why talking to real humans can feel way more intimidating than creating content or Canva graphics, what I call "safe productivity," and why confidence as a coach doesn't come from posting more.
If you've been doing all the things but still feel stuck, avoiding real conversations, or wondering why your effort isn't translating into clients, then this episode is for you.

Have you ever worried that you'll freeze in a coaching session because you don't know what to ask next? Or felt like you're not "experienced enough" to lead someone through a real breakthrough? This fear comes up all the time—especially for new coaches—and it's exactly why I wanted to record this episode.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down how to ask powerful coaching questions even when you don't feel ready, confident, or qualified yet. I talk openly about imposter syndrome, why coaching isn't about having perfect wording or giving advice, and how a few simple, intentional questions can create massive clarity and action for your clients. I also walk you through the three core types of coaching questions I use in my own sessions—and share several go-to questions you can literally steal and use right away.

Have you ever felt the pressure to "have all the answers" as a coach? Or wondered what you're actually supposed to do in a coaching session to create real transformation? You're not alone—and the truth is, most new coaches misunderstand what coaching even is.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down the biggest myths around coaching, including why giving advice is not the core of what powerful coaches do. I share how real coaching helps clients build confidence, uncover their own solutions, and create sustainable results—without you jumping in to fix everything. I'm also giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what separates mentoring, counseling, and coaching so you can stay in your lane and show up with clarity and confidence.
If you've been feeling the pressure to "figure out what to say" or worrying you're not equipped to coach at a professional level, then this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like you've outgrown your life but you're not totally sure what comes next? Or maybe you've been craving deeper connection, more meaning, or a creative spark you haven't felt in years. What if the thing that helps you reinvent yourself… is actually something you've never even considered?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by award-winning podcaster Allison Hare, creator of The Reinvention Room, to talk about why podcasting is one of the most powerful (and underrated) tools for women—especially women rebuilding after divorce. We dig into burnout, loneliness, creativity, community, and the moment you realize you're not broken… you've just outgrown your container. Allison also shares her framework for creating a meaningful, sustainable podcast, how to find your unique voice, and why the podcast space is nowhere near as saturated as most people believe.
If you've been feeling stretched thin, craving a new chapter, or thinking about starting something of your own but don't know where to begin, this episode is for you.

Have you ever worried about what you'd do if a client cried, shut down, resisted, or even got irritated during a coaching session? If you're building a coaching business, these moments can feel intimidating but they're often the very moments where the biggest breakthroughs happen.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm breaking down exactly how to navigate emotionally charged coaching sessions without freezing, fixing, or letting your own emotions take over. I share a real behind-the-scenes moment from a recent client session where things got tense—and how I used grounding, curiosity, and space-holding to help her move from frustration to clarity. You'll also learn the difference between a breakdown and a breakthrough, how to stay regulated when your client isn't, and why your presence (not your answers) is what truly transforms people.

Have you ever dated someone who felt amazing in the beginning only to realize later you ignored red flags that were right in front of you? It happens to so many women—especially after divorce—because we're craving connection, safety, and a fresh start. But some of the biggest red flags aren't loud or obvious. They're subtle. Quiet. And they sneak up on you when your guard is down.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm joined by relationship coach and author Daniel Ratner for one of the realest conversations we've had on dating after divorce. We dig into why chemistry can mislead you, how unhealthy patterns repeat themselves, and the sneaky signs of "emotional vampires" who drain your energy long before you realize what's happening. Daniel also breaks down the difference between emotional safety and infatuation, how to raise your standards without losing hope, and why self-esteem is the invisible filter determining who you attract.
If you've been dating after divorce and keep finding yourself giving more than you get—or getting stuck in the same patterns—this episode is for you.

Have you ever looked at other coaches online and thought, "They've got it all figured out…why don't I?" I used to think the exact same thing.

Ever wondered what actually happens to your assets—or your kids—if something happens to you after divorce? Most divorced moms assume everything will "just go where it's supposed to," but the truth is estate planning is one of the most important (and most overlooked) parts of protecting your future.

Lauren explains what really happens if you don't update your estate plan, how to make sure your kids are protected, and what steps you should take right now to set up the future you want.
If you've been divorced and have no idea where to start with protecting your money, your kids, or your future, then this episode is for you.

Are you showing up on social media but not getting any coaching inquiries? It's not because your content isn't good enough. The problem is that most new coaches don't have a system. They're posting what inspires them instead of what actually moves their audience to become clients.

You'll learn how to define your content pillars, what type of posts actually build trust, and the three kinds of content every coach needs to create a social media strategy that works.

Are you getting likes, comments, and DMs on your posts but no actual clients? It’s one of the most frustrating parts of building a coaching business online.

Think a divorce court will finally bring you justice? That they’ll hear your story and deliver what’s fair? I used to think that too until I learned the hard way that courtrooms don’t operate on emotion. They operate on facts, assets, and legal agreements.
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by powerhouse attorney and fellow solo mom, Emily S. Pollock, to unpack the legal and financial truths every woman needs to know before, during, and after divorce. From how courts actually look at fairness (spoiler: they don’t care if your ex was a jerk) to what you need in place before you sign your next marriage certificate, Emily shares it all.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by integrative therapist and somatic practitioner Megan Sherer for a deeply honest conversation about how even the most self-sufficient women can unconsciously self-abandon when love is on the line.

Ever feel like you should be over it by now, but something small still sends you spiraling?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by Rabbi Judy Greenfeld for a deeply grounding conversation on grief, healing, and giving yourself permission to feel it all—even years after divorce.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with the brilliant Michelle Dempsey-Multack—certified divorce and co-parenting specialist, podcast host, and author—for a raw, honest conversation about what putting your kids first actually looks like.

I share why guilt runs so deep for single moms, how we’ve been conditioned to believe that being selfless is the gold standard, and why overcompensating for your ex, your choices, or your kids’ emotions isn’t making you a better mom—it’s burning you out.

What if you could be a great co-parent without pretending to be friends?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I break down one of the biggest misconceptions about healthy co-parenting: the idea that you have to be friends with your ex. Spoiler: you don’t. In fact, forcing a friendship that doesn’t feel safe or authentic can leave you exhausted, resentful, and second-guessing your boundaries.
I share what healthy co-parenting actually looks like (hint: it’s not curated for Instagram), how to define your role without compromising yourself, and why emotional neutrality is the real gold standard—not forced closeness.

Are you relying on alimony or child support to stay financially afloat after divorce?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I dive into why depending on alimony and child support is a trap. While these payments can be helpful, they’re not a long-term financial plan. What happens if the checks stop coming? If your ex loses his job? If your security depends on someone else, you are not truly free.
I walk you through the mindset shift you need, why financial independence equals power, and how to start making money on your own terms. Whether it’s starting a business, freelancing, or re-entering the workforce, you have options.

Staring at your tax forms with dread after divorce?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I break down the tax implications of divorce that no one warns you about. I explain how your filing status changes immediately after your divorce is finalized, who gets to claim the kids on taxes, and the different tax treatments for alimony and child support. I also share some hidden costs of divorce you might not be thinking about, including potential tax penalties on splitting assets like retirement accounts and capital gains taxes on selling your marital home.
As someone who's been through this myself, I understand how overwhelming financial stability can feel post-divorce, which is why I'm giving you practical advice on how to stay ahead of the game—from hiring your own CPA (especially if your ex handled the taxes before) to adjusting your withholdings to avoid surprises next year.

Feeling totally invisible in your marriage, even though divorce was the last thing you wanted?
In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I chat with Gina Conover, a coach who helps women heal from divorces they never saw coming after years of feeling unseen in their marriages. We dig into that painful mind-twist many women face—feeling like a ghost in their own relationship while still desperately wanting to make it work. Gina breaks down her concept of "the orbiting effect," where we end up circling our partners like satellites, losing ourselves completely in a desperate attempt to be noticed.
Gina shares some game-changing strategies for breaking free, including a simple technique to flip those obsessive questions into statements that actually help you process emotions (instead of spinning in circles). We talk about rebuilding trust in yourself, how to know when you're actually ready to date again (hint: being okay alone is key!), and creating a healthy co-parenting situation—even with someone who made you feel invisible for years.

Do you find yourself exhausted from constantly juggling everything on your own as a single parent? I know I felt that way at first…
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, divorce attorney turned co-parenting expert Morgan Foster joins me to share her top advice for navigating co-parenting challenges.
We discuss letting go of things that are no longer your responsibility and focusing on the big picture of raising healthy, happy kids together.

Morgan Foster is an experienced family law attorney who spent 20 years practicing in the traditional legal system, with a focus on complex divorce and custody cases. Driven by her belief that the best outcomes for families are achieved through chosen resolutions designed by clients and their partners rather than litigation, Morgan started her own company to provide alternative solutions. As a divorced mother of two young boys who has followed the process she now offers to others, Morgan enjoys a positive and supportive co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband and has observed her own children thrive through and beyond divorce.

Have you ever felt like your true self got lost along the way while juggling life's many roles and challenges?
In this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast, I chat with Sarah Schmidt about overcoming life's biggest challenges to find renewed meaning and joy. Sarah shares how at age 52, after two divorces and a battle with cancer, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery that involved getting out of her head and into her body to process difficult emotions.
We discuss the challenges of navigating divorce while prioritizing children's emotional well-being, the importance of vulnerability in parenting, the journey of finding purpose in midlife and much much more.
Sarah has her PsyD in Clinical Psychology, a Masters in Pastoral Counseling, and has a Health Coach Certification. She is a woman with no shortage of these life moments – from growing up in a small, Catholic town in Wisconsin with a mom who spent 12 years in a convent, to discovering she was in love with a woman to getting diagnosed with cancer, to adopting a son with sickle cell disease, to having her first natural birth at 44, to navigating a second divorce– and beyond. Many might experience some of these events in their lifetime, but few have experienced them all in one.

Are you too old to make a bold move? If you've ever thought you were too old to start over, let Leigh Burgess's story inspire you. She joins me in this episode of the Wellness Revolution podcast to share that at 48, she left her demanding corporate healthcare job to start her own business - a decision that led to a seven-figure company in just one year.
We discuss just how she built a successful business without thousands of social media followers. We also dive into practical advice on how to start taking bold steps, why quiet moves can be just as powerful as loud ones, and Leigh’s new book "Be BOLD Today: Unleash Your Potential, Master Your Mindset, and Achieve Success." It hit shelves on November 19th so go ahead and grab it. It will offer a framework for creating your own bold year.
Leigh Burgess co-founded a thriving business with her daughter and is the author of the book Be BOLD Today: Unleash Your Potential, Master Your Mindset, and Achieve Success. After over two decades of success in the corporate world, she found herself completely burned out, faced with an impossible choice between her health and her job. Leigh made what she calls a “big swing of bold.” In 2020, without a plan but with an unwavering belief in herself, she resigned and co-founded Bold Industries Group, a bootstrapped start-up that achieved seven figures in its first year and beyond. Now, Leigh is sharing her BOLD Framework (Believe-Own-Learn-Design), a powerful tool that fueled her recovery and continues to drive her success.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, I chat with Dr. Nayan Patel, a glutathione expert and founder of Auro Wellness to discuss the critical role of glutathione in combating oxidative stress and its potential impact on overall health, especially for women in midlife.

Are you struggling with focus and productivity? There may be an alternative to traditional ADHD medications. In this Wellness Revolution podcast episode, I am joined by Dan Freed, the founder of Thesis, to discuss his journey from high school dropout to successful entrepreneur, driven by his quest to find effective solutions for ADHD.
We dive into the science behind nootropics and how they differ from traditional stimulants. We also discuss Thesis' rigorous testing process to ensure product quality and safety and how to find the right nootropic formula for your unique brain chemistry.
Dan Freed founded Thesis, a company dedicated to creating personalized nootropic formulas to help others optimize their cognitive performance. He was expelled from preschool and later dropped out of high school due to struggles with ADHD, to become a successful entrepreneur and cognitive health advocate. After years of working as a chef, including at a Michelin three-star restaurant in France, Dan discovered nootropics while preparing for the GMAT. This discovery led to a dramatic turnaround in his life, enabling him to score in the 99th percentile on the GMAT and subsequently earn Master's degrees from Yale and INSEAD.

Have you tried everything, but still feel like you can’t lose weight? If you’re frustrated with midlife weight gain and stubborn belly fat, the issue may be hormonal shifts and gut health. This is exactly what we dive into on the Wellness Revolution podcast with special guests Ann Maria Tom and Anoop Asok.
We discuss the importance of reducing stress and improving gut health for weight loss and the fact that calorie restriction is not going to work if hormones are imbalanced. We also discuss the importance of healing leaky gut before menopause and how over-exercising is detrimental to your weight loss goals.
Co-founders Ann Maria Tom and Anoop Asok use their Metabolic Mastery Method to offer a holistic approach to weight loss that considers metabolic health, gut issues, stress management, personalized nutrition, and exercise plans. They provide women with strategies that work with their changing bodies, rather than against them, to achieve sustainable weight loss results.

In today’s episode, I talk with Chris Rackliffe, an expert on attachment theory and healing from anxious attachment. Chris shares his own powerful story of overcoming trauma and learning to regulate his nervous system through practices like cold therapy and emotional diversification.
We discuss that anxious attachment requires more than just cognitive approaches like talk therapy. To truly heal, you must learn to regulate your nervous system and build tolerance for stress. This involves taking care of your foundational needs, like sleep, nutrition, and hydration, as well as practicing techniques like cold exposure and breathwork.
Chris Rackliffe is a trauma healer, mental health advocate, anxious attachment style coach, and author of the self-help book, It’s Good to See Me Again: How to Find Your Way When You Feel Lost—an illuminating guidebook on the journey to find emotional healing.

Do you feel like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel of hustle culture, unable to find inner rest as a high achiever or hard-working mom? Today’s special guest has the insights you need to find rest, balance, and success without burning out.
Tune in to this episode of The Wellness Revolution to hear from Caleb Campbell. Once known as “America’s Athlete”, Caleb is a West Point graduate and former Army officer who became the second player in the history of West Point to ever be selected in the NFL draft and the first player, under a new policy implemented by the Department of Defense (DOD), to be given permission to play and serve simultaneously.
Caleb’s dream came to a halt when the DOD rescinded that policy hours before signing his first NFL contract – launching him into his own internal war that would almost cost him his life. While serving his country, Caleb kept his NFL dream alive and eventually found himself playing in the NFL – proving how facing our fears, committing to mental and emotional health and staying authentic will make us stronger — even in our weakest moments.
Join us for a deep discussion about what it looks like to find inner rest, expand your capacity for life, and overcome hustle culture and still be successful.
“It’s like a dance that never ends and it’s a dance that we never necessarily master. It’s not about mastering it, it’s about learning how to respond to the moments when you are dancing out of sync with more compassion, more gentleness, with more love, so that you can pull yourself back into the divine dance that’s happening all around us.” – Caleb Campbell
As Caleb says, doing more isn’t always the answer. Listen in to learn more!
Key Highlights:
- How to shift from survival mode to fully participating in life
- The critical difference between healthy and unhealthy self-criticism
- What it looks like to find inner rest as a high achiever
- The key to overcoming hustle culture and still find success
- What to do when you hit your goals and you still don’t feel it’s enough

- The moment I realized I needed a divorce

If you’re going through something intense right now, you’re not alone. Our society is going through a major shift right now and it’s up to each of us to lean into the transformation that’s knocking at our door.
Today on The Wellness Revolution, I’m joined by the wonderful Dr. Karin Luise, a Transformational Therapist, Divorce & Trauma Expert, and Award-Winning Author who has a powerful message to share with you.
After two divorces, three children, and one PhD, Dr. Karin experienced a spiritual awakening that transformed her life from miserable to magical. She learned how to heal her mind, heart, and soul and expand her life with wild freedom and real happiness. Now, she’s helping others do the same.
This is one of the most raw, honest, soul-bearing conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast. Dr. Karin and I dive deep into the emotional impacts of divorce that no one talks about so we can normalize them and heal collectively. While sharing our truths, we discuss ways to process your emotions and thrive after divorce (or any difficult/traumatic experience).
“Many people need to hear this: If something is coming up with your family, with your partner, with your children, it is because it is ready to be seen and ready to be healed and it’s ready to be transformed.” – Dr. Karin Luise
Remember ladies, your intuition is your super power. You’ll know in your spirit if something isn’t aligned with you… you just have to tap in and listen.

Every time you deny a craving, you’re feeding a future binge moment. Let that sink in, then tune in to learn how to defeat cravings so you can achieve the sustainable weight loss you’re striving for.
In today’s Wellness Revolution episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist who’s here to teach us how to defeat cravings with an alternative approach he calls “the backdoor to weight loss”. Intriguing, right?
After struggling for years with overeating and obesity, Dr. Livingston spent decades researching the nature of binging and overeating via work with his own patients and a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Eventually, he and his patients were able to break out of food prison, reach a healthy weight, and develop a much more lighthearted relationship with food.
If you’re struggling to avoid your cravings, eat in a balanced way, and achieve a healthy weight, this episode is for YOU!
“Mindful eating is a big part of recovery. However, when there are chemicals in the packaging for some of these foods that interfere with your ability to know when you’re hungry and full… we need some additional tools to make it work.” – Dr. Glenn Livingston
Key Highlights:

- The psychology behind sustainable weight loss, restrictive diets, and cravings

Are you a frazzled mama juggling countless emotions? Sounds like you need a powerful, but simple strategy to help you be less reactive and more patient as a parent, while making your kids more coherent and able to regulate their emotions. You need heart-based living.
Today on The Wellness Revolution, you’ll learn from Kimberly Snyder, a best-selling author, nutritionist, holistic wellness expert, speaker, meditation teacher, and entrepreneur.
We’re talking all about the heart-based practice from her newest book, “Chilla Gorilla & Lanky Lemur Journey to the Heart”. This evidence-based approach will help your children regulate their emotions and connect with their heart, while helping you do the same – a practice that’s completely changed the dynamic of Kimberly’s family.
“The science shows that when we do this simple practice of shifting down and we’re creating that coherence, our whole body is functioning better. Doing these evidence-based practices, in one month, has been shown in research to reduce cortisol 23%... [and] increase DHEA 100%. DHEA is vitality.” – Kimberly Snyder
Most of us didn’t learn these practices as a kid, but it’s never too late. In fact, it might just change your family’s life! The heart has immense power, so let’s tap into it together and discover the limitless benefits heart-based mindfulness can give you and your kids.

Let’s be honest. Acne sucks and discovering skincare solutions that work for your unique skin can be an emotional trial and error process. Luckily, I know some women who are creating science-based clear skin solutions for people of all ages.
Today on The Wellness Revolution, I’m joined by Danielle Gronich, Co-Founder, CEO, and Formulation Expert at CLEARSTEM Skincare, the only toxin-free skincare line that targets both acne and aging at the same time.

Since then, she’s achieved a 98% success rate in clearing patients' hormonal and cystic acne.
“Think of [skincare] like exercise and nutrition. In order to look great, you’ve got to figure out both… Exercise is your exfoliation and nutrition is your actives, like bakuchiol and peptides, plant stem cells, vitamin C, and things like that.” – Danielle Gronich

Healing trauma and childhood wounds doesn’t have to be a complicated process filled with pain and negativity. There are ways you can heal your wounds while also feeling strong, empowered, and filled with love and connection.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, you’ll learn these methods from Stefanos Sifandos, a trained educator and relationship expert with an extensive background in behavioral science. Stefanos helps men and women heal unresolved trauma and childhood wounds, escape negative patterns, and cultivate a positive sense of self. He helps people restructure and re-frame their relationships with themselves and their loved ones, leading them closer to each other and to their highest potential.
Today, Stefanos and I are talking about how to use breathwork to heal your trauma and connect with your sense of self. We touch on concepts like self-worth, love and trust, parent/child relationships, self-acceptance, the science behind breathwork, connecting to your inner child, and more.
This is an incredibly moving discussion that highlights the immense value of doing the inner work, no matter how difficult and daunting it seems.
Let this be your reminder that you can do (and heal) anything you put your mind to, mama. ❤
“Do not compare your trauma because trauma is less about the experience itself (of course that matters) and it’s more about the way our constitution, our nervous system, our psychology, our predisposition, our personality, everything that is us interprets that experience and the intensity of that experience.” – Stefanos Sifandos
Key Highlights:
- Stefanos’ childhood wounds & How they impacted his adulthood
- Why women struggle to say no
- How to start recognizing and healing patterns of behavior related to trauma
- Common signs of childhood trauma and unhealed wounds
- The do’s and don’ts of healing trauma (based on behavioral science)

- Helpful ways to connect to your inner child
- Why you don’t need to relive your trauma to heal it

It's through these candid conversations with women across the globe that we crack open the door to understanding resilience and inner growth.

The mirror becomes our stage, where daily affirmations of "yes, I can" shatter the chains of limiting beliefs. I discuss the importance of confronting the negative narratives that can consume our thoughts and the relentless determination to stand back up, no matter how many times life knocks you down.

Do you want to know the secret to staying young and pain-free into your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond? The secret is in how you activate and engage your muscles. Intrigued yet?
Join me in this episode of The Wellness Revolution as I welcome Yogi Aaron, a Master Yoga Teacher and Muscle Specialist who’s sharing a revolutionary approach to eliminating pain in the body and reducing your risk of injury. This unique approach ditches prescribed stretches while igniting alignment, stability, power, and purpose through muscle activation.
This conversation is absolutely fascinating, eye-opening, and might upset a few yogis out there, but it’s essential knowledge you need. Aaron reveals the harmful effects of stretching and why you need to focus on activating and engaging your muscles rather than stretching them.
My biggest takeaway from this episode: Stretching is not getting to the root cause of my pain and it won’t help reduce it either! Pain reduction requires a totally different approach.
“What we need to be doing is addressing the muscle tightness and that muscle tightness is a protective mechanism. If you’ve got tightness in your lower back, then that is a signal to you that something is not working properly in your body.” – Yogi Aaron
Aaron’s online platform, The Yogi Club, is making living a pain-free life accessible to all with a vast on-demand library of classes and courses. So, join us to learn something new and let your journey to a pain-free life start NOW.
Key Highlights:
- From Evangelical to Spiritual: How Yogi Aaron tapped into his purpose through yoga.
- Aaron’s experience healing his chronic pain.
- How do muscles work?
- How is stretching harmful to the body?
- The major benefits of yoga (when done correctly).
- The #1 yoga pose you should AVOID.
- The BEST yoga pose you can do to strengthen your back and reduce pain.
- Why you should stop stretching and start Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle ActivationTM (AYAMA).
- Tips for adapting your yoga practice to optimize muscle function and reduce pain.
- How does Muscle Activation differ from modern and traditional yoga?
- How to achieve the same “release” you feel in yoga through AYAMA.

Do you feel “off track”, dissatisfied with life, or like you’re not the person you’re meant to be? I hear you… As we get older, we need to start evaluating our lives in different ways and learn how to shift our identity. I believe this is the secret to living a fulfilled life in our 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.
When your identity revolves around being a mom, wife, caregiver, or helper for SO long, it can be hard to start shifting your identity and feel capable of being who you're meant to be at your core. Who even is that? What is she meant to do? How is she meant to feel? But it’s absolutely possible.
I wrote on Instagram the other day: “Shifting your identity isn’t about changing who you are, it’s about believing in who you’re always meant to be.” From the moment you came into this world, your higher self has been guiding you towards a life of love, joy, fulfillment, and purpose. So, what exactly is holding you back from achieving that life and living it to its fullest?
That’s what I’m sharing in this episode.
Once you start to lean into transformation and achieve lasting change, it’s crucial to focus on shifting your mindset, your habits, and your beliefs about your identity.
It’s never too late to rediscover yourself and follow that voice that says, “you’re meant for more”, and it doesn’t have to be a big, dramatic upheaval… you can start shifting your identity in small ways that add up to a powerful difference.
If you’re ready for a change, tune in and let’s get to work!
Key Highlights:
- What does it mean to shift your identity?
- Small, tangible ways you can start shifting your identity TODAY.
- Top roadblocks that are holding you back from living a purposeful, fulfilled life.
- How to feel fully supported through these life-changing practices.

I have an important message to share. For years, I’ve had a feeling I couldn’t shake and, frankly, I suppressed it for too long… This was a feeling that told me I was meant for more. From the moment I turned 40, this feeling kept pushing me and prompting me to figure out who I am and what my purpose is.
If you resonate at all with this feeling, I want you to know that you’re so close to the life you’re meant to live. It’s right around the corner, you just need to pivot, and I’m here to help you get to there.
Now that I’m turning 45, I can say that everything has changed and fallen into place. From feeling broken, lost, and scared just five years ago to taking ownership of my life and my inner power, I know radical transformation is possible at any age and in any phase of life.
Struggling shouldn’t be your normal. Low self-worth shouldn’t be your normal. Burnout shouldn’t be your normal. And being a good wife and mother isn’t your whole identity.
You’re meant for more, girlfriend. You’re meant to start the healing process and take your lifestyle to the next level… and I’m here to help you do that.
So, what’s next? What do you want your next 40 years to look and feel like? Let’s figure it out!
Key Highlights:
- 3 big lies I told myself that kept me from leaning into my purpose and making radical changes in my life.
- My relationship with self-worth, self-image, and eating disorders.
- How I knew I was meant for more in life.
- Opportunities you have in recognizing trauma as a turning point for change.
- The difficult part of divorce people don’t talk about.
- What is the purpose of my pain and how can I turn my pain into purpose?
- The key mentality to confidently pivoting in life.

As your loved ones get older, you worry about their safety, right? Falling is so common (and so scary), yet many seniors refuse to wear an alert device. That is until the Kanega Watch was invented! In this Wellness Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by Richard Hirsch, CMO of UnaliWear, the creators of the most innovative medical alert system on the market. Listen in to learn all about this life-changing device, the Kanega Watch, and get all the information you need to make a well-informed decision when the time comes.
What I love about the Kanega Watch is that its design is discreet, non-stigmatizing, and actually stylish, unlike other medical alert devices. It’s also the only medical alert watch that you can wear 24/7 AND has the highest-rated fall detection in the industry. It’s also voice activated, making it even more accessible for your aging loved ones.

If you’re experiencing grief or loss of any kind, listen up. We’re here for you. In this Wellness Revolution Podcast, you’ll meet Audrey White, CEO and Master Trainer at Grief Coach Academy and co-author of the new book, “Grief Coaching: Paving a Path from Pain to Peace”. Today, as Audrey shares her uniquely powerful experience with grief and loss, she offers her best tips, tools, and strategies for navigating grief and loss of any kind.
Whether it’s the death of a loved one (or stranger), loss of a job, loss of a dream, loss of a friendship… there’s no comparison in grief and loss. Loss is loss and grief is grief. We all experience the intensity of both and it’s important to learn how to move through it and find joy and peace again.
“Death is just birth… and as women, we know how to give birth.” – Audrey White
It’s easy to isolate yourself when you’re grieving, but remember, you can find great strength and healing in your community during these difficult times. You shouldn’t have to grieve alone. Also remember that grief is a process. You won’t be fully healed after this episode, after a month of using coping strategies, or even after a year. Navigating grief is a non-linear, ever-changing journey, but with time and practice, you will feel better!
Key Highlights:
- Audrey’s experience with expected and unexpected loss in her family.
- The profound cycle of death and rebirth.
- What Audrey gained from training to be a grief coach.

So, you want to live your best damn life, right? Then it’s time for a little personal growth and development, ladies! Today on the Wellness Revolution Podcast, we’re talking about how mindset is the key to achieving sustainable weight loss and other health and wellness goals.
Believe it or not, your mindset is likely what’s keeping you stuck in an inconsistent weight loss journey. Mindset is the #1 most critical step in losing weight and keeping it off for good. If you keep gaining back the weight that you lose, or you can’t seem to lose any weight at all, you need to switch things up! You need to reprogram your brain if you want to see results.
The weight loss mindset isn’t about motivation, willpower, discipline, or even positive thinking… it’s about the lens through which you view food, exercise, and ultimately, yourself.
Unless we’ve done the work to change our habits and patterns, we’ll go right back to the unhealthy behaviors that held us back from our goals in the first place. If you truly want to achieve sustainable weight loss, it starts here, with the mind. So, tune in to figure out if mindset is the missing link to achieving your dream weight loss results!
Key Highlights:
- Why is mindset important for weight loss?
- How to get to the root cause of why you can’t lose weight and keep it off.
- How your beliefs impact your dieting and exercise habits (and vice versa).
- Factors that contribute to a difficult, unsustainable weight loss journey.
- Why perfectionism is the killer of success in any health goal.
- Are you self-sabotaging your weight loss journey? Find out now!

Ever been charmed, trapped, and manipulated by a narcissist? Ever felt like you've been pushed into the 'hell club'? In this episode, Amber is taking a deep dive into the world of narcissism with globally recognized negotiation expert, Rebecca Zung. Drawing from her own experiences with a narcissistic business partner, Rebecca shares her journey of navigating this complex dynamic and the crucial insights that led to her latest book, “Slay the Bully: How to Negotiate with a Narcissist and Win.” Rebecca explains her innovative Slay Method, designed to empower individuals dealing with narcissists.
Narcissists are often a product of childhood trauma and are likely to be aware of their damaging actions but lack self-awareness. This paradoxical behavior can be extremely overwhelming for empaths, those highly sensitive to the emotions of others, leading to an intense struggle to cope with such individuals. Rebecca helps us understand these intricate patterns of manipulation and the concept of the 'hell club', the experience of being charmed and manipulated by a narcissist, providing us with the tools to identify signs of narcissistic behavior and shield ourselves against them.
The journey towards disentangling oneself from a narcissist's grip requires setting boundaries, maintaining evidence of conversations, and navigating the challenging terrain of negotiation. Rebecca guides you through the process, teaching you how to establish a vision for the desired outcome, anticipate the narcissist's behavior, and focus on yourself. She also discusses the often overlooked covert narcissist and the art of gaslighting, offering practical advice on how to protect oneself from it. Whether you've dealt with a narcissist or wish to equip yourself with significant knowledge on the subject, this episode is a must-listen, offering invaluable insights into the world of narcissism and negotiation.

You have probably already heard the hype surrounding Ozempic, a diabetes medication that's making waves in the weight loss community. But before you jump on the bandwagon, let Amber walk you through the drug's intricacies and potential risks. Known to imitate a hormone that reduces our appetite and slows down our stomach's activity, Ozempic is often used off-label for fast weight loss. However, the quick results might not be what they seem, and it's vital to make informed decisions about your health.
What happens when you stop using a weight-loss drug like Ozempic? Our bodies undergo metabolic adaptation, a process that naturally slows down our metabolism when we lose weight. So, when the artificial appetite control is gone, your cravings return, but your metabolism continues to burn calories at a slower rate, leading to weight gain. To counter this effect, some resort to drastic calorie cuts, which can harm their health. Instead, Amber encourages long-term, sustainable weight loss solutions that avoid such pitfalls. Tune in for a session filled with enlightening insights and practical advice.

As Amber reflects on the woman she has become over these past three years, she is filled with gratitude for the challenging yet transformative journey. It has been an uphill battle, fighting against the stronghold of age-old habits and beliefs, yet every step has been undeniably worth it. Amber wants to share her story with you, highlighting the pivotal moments that have reshaped her life. In this episode of the Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber explores the common blind spots that many women, particularly mothers, share and discusses how understanding and addressing these has empowered her to make significant changes.
There's something profoundly liberating about unveiling the stories we tell ourselves. For Amber, it was the constant excuse of 'not having enough time,' which was merely a facade for a deep-seated belief of unworthiness. She was caught in the vicious cycle of inconsistency, with negative self-talk often chipping away at self-confidence. However, shining a light on these patterns not only revealed their roots in her childhood experience but also charted the path towards overcoming them.
Confidence, as Amber discovered, is an inside job. It's about shedding the shackles of external validation and embracing self-love, regardless of our size or appearance. Amber is thrilled to announce a free two-day event designed to empower women to uncover their blind spots and start making transformative changes. This workshop will underscore the power of self-talk and belief, providing you with the tools to rewrite your narrative and reclaim your confidence. For more information, check out the link below.

So many of us have been diagnosed with certain conditions that come with fear, uncertainty, and stigmas. One virus that there is not enough awareness around and tends to come with a stigma, is herpes. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber has an empowering conversation with Alexandra Harbushka, the founder of Life with Herpes: Breaking the Stigma and Removing the Shame.

His main message is that people should look to thrive instead of just survive. Today, he shares his perspective on a variety of topics, explaining what he does to acquire what he calls “mental wealth”.
Kaylor talks about his childhood and adolescence when he used to be in great pain internally, although externally, everything seemed to be ok. He admits he had some privileges that others suffering from mental health issues didn't have, but this fact doesn't erase what went through his mind back then. After all, it is not a competition.
You will also learn all about Kaylor's way of thinking to attract good things in his life. He believes we can create our reality if we change a few things and act differently. By quitting the victim mentality and owning our choices, we can have what we want, which is an easier and more attainable way of viewing manifestation. Tune in!

Are you stuck in a cycle of emotional eating and self-blame, feeling like you're constantly fighting and failing at the diet game? Amber is here to change that narrative. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber is breaking down the emotional eating cycle and challenging the myths that diet culture perpetuates.
Emotional eating is more than just a struggle with food; it's often deeply rooted in our emotions and self-perception. Amber recently had a vulnerable conversation with a client who used emotional eating to cope with grief, and she explores how this coping mechanism can lead to feelings of guilt and shame.
Amber dives into the heart of the issue, seeking to understand the root causes of these behaviors and emphasizing the need for self-compassion. By identifying our triggers and understanding our emotional responses, we can equip ourselves with the tools necessary to break free from the cycle of emotional eating.

Whitney Aronoff is a Health Supportive Personal Chef based in Laguna Beach, California. Whitney's mission is to encourage people to fall in love with food in a way that helps them feel better. Her mission is to empower people to cook for themselves using the best ingredients for the body and soul. In this new episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, she shares practical tips to have more balanced meals, and educates us on the connection between food and spirituality.
Whitney explains that when we pay more attention to what we eat - and how we eat - we give the body more space to process everything it needs to process. Sometimes, the body needs to process a negative experience or a specific trauma from the past, and it simply can't because it is too “occupied” dealing with the types of food we eat daily. And sometimes, we cause this situation: we distract ourselves with food to avoid certain feelings.
You will also learn the best practical tips when shopping for your food. Whitney explains that eating foods in season is a good solution for those on a budget. Also, buying organic foods does not always mean getting the best product. It's also important to know how to prepare your food. Whitney shares some best practices on all these topics as well.

If you’re a woman over 40, you’ve probably heard of creatine. It’s a supplement that’s been around for a while, but it’s only recently that we’ve started to understand the benefits it can have for women. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber shares why she started taking creatine, the benefits it can have for pre and post-menopausal women, and how you can get started taking it.
Amber explains that she recently started taking creatine after doing some testing with Wild Health. Wild Health is a functional medicine practice that uses your body’s genetic makeup and blood work to determine what your body needs. After doing the testing, they suggested she start taking creatine. Amber was a little hesitant at first because like you might be thinking, she had heard that creatine was something that bodybuilders took to get “swole” and that it can make you bloated or puffy. But after doing some research, it became apparent that creatine could have some great benefits for women.
For both pre-menopausal women and post-menopausal women, creatine has some remarkable benefits, both physical and mental. There is fascinating new research that indicates it may help reduce depression, enhance your mood, improve cognition, and more. It has also been shown to improve strength and bone density which we know is especially important after menopause.
Amber breaks down how you can get started with creatine, how much to take, and the amazing benefits it can have for you. Tune in for even more information. You got this mama!

In this episode, Amber welcomes Dr. Julie Foucher to The Wellness Revolution podcast. Dr. Julie shares relevant tips for everyone, specifically women over 40, wanting to take better care of their health. When we talk about optimal health, there are four aspects that we need to pay attention to every day: nutrition, exercise, sleep quality, and stress. These are super important factors for someone trying to lose weight as well.
However, trying to be perfect with these four pillars can prevent you from getting the fifth aspect right: emotional health. If we stress too much about optimizing our health, we end up doing the exact opposite.
You will also learn everything about Wild Health, the company Dr. Julie works for. She explains that every client that seeks Wild Health is designated an individual doctor who will dive into each individual’s history, lifestyle, and weaknesses to treat them properly. Dr. Julie also shares the main points that women over 40 need to focus on when it comes to taking better care of their health and optimizing their wellness.

Do you find yourself constantly thinking about what you should and shouldn't eat? Do you feel guilty or ashamed after indulging in your favorite foods? If so, you may have a poor relationship with food. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber explores the signs of a poor food relationship and how to heal it through mindful eating.
One of the biggest signs of a poor relationship with food is the belief in a "good" and "bad" food list. This mentality can lead to a constant internal dialogue of restriction and guilt. However, food is neutral and should not be demonized. By adopting the mantra of "I'm a grown-ass woman, there are no good or bad foods," you can take back your power and make mindful decisions about what you eat.
Healing your relationship with food is the key to consistency and achieving your health and wellness goals. According to Amber, 95% of the time, the reason why women cannot stay consistent with their health and wellness goals is because of their relationship with food.
One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of adopting a mindset of self-empowerment when it comes to food. Instead of feeling restricted and deprived, remind yourself that you can make your own food choices. This can help decrease the urge to overindulge and lead to a more balanced approach to eating.
Quote from the episode:
“Being able to taste everything, but binge on nothing. That's the ultimate goal of where we wanna get you. Let go of the all-or-nothing mentality and mindfully indulge in what you crave. Healing your relationship with food is the key to creating a sustainable healthy lifestyle.” -Amber Shaw

Aside from sustainable weight loss, nutrition tips, and exercise, you know this podcast is all about spirituality and self-development too, right? It's super beneficial to work on ourselves from a spiritual perspective to reach our goals, change our habits, and achieve whatever we want in life.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber talks about a topic that is very much in evidence lately: manifestation. We all want to do it, but we might not know how. Amber shares practical tips that work for her to manifest whatever goal you have. Although getting quiet and trying to visualize the outcome are crucial parts of the process, there is more to it: Amber highlights the importance of allowing your body to feel the feeling and getting really specific on what you are trying to manifest.
In addition, it can be helpful to identify your why. Knowing why you want the thing can be effective and put you in the right direction. But don't forget: there is no point in manifesting if you don't take action. Tune in!

When it comes to sustainable weight loss, it is helpful to see your eating habits as a lifestyle, not a diet. When we stop restricting ourselves and start eating more intuitively, we break free from the diet mentality and find balance. Balance is what Amber’s guest came to talk about today.

Through her new book called “From Pain to Purpose", Erin has been helping women of all ages to deal with the same problems.
Erin details her writing process, highlighting that the vulnerability with which she wrote the chapters really helped other women to resonate with her story. And that is just the beginning: the book is full of tactical strategies to help people overcome the same problems. Tune in to learn more!

A calm and quiet morning routine can really change your day and, eventually, your whole world. When we wake up at our own pace, focus on activities that regulate our nervous system, and enjoy the first hours of our day with a calm mind, we tend to be more productive and efficient throughout the day. These are science-backed benefits!
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber shares with us her morning routine and how she has been able to go about her day with much more stillness ever since she implemented a few little new habits. Do you also want to change the way you show up? Start small: try to wake up early, journal, meditate, and think of things you are grateful for - and most importantly, sit with the feeling for a while. If an hour feels too much, try 10 minutes and go from there.
It's important to know that this only works if you have a good nighttime routine. How we wake up depends heavily on how we sleep the night prior, right? So grab a pen and paper, write down all of the tips Amber is sharing today, and be ready to have more energy to live your life.

You have probably heard the saying “Food is Medicine” and that couldn’t be more true. What you put on your plate and into your body has the power to fuel your cells with what you need to feel your best. The opposite is true as well, and some foods can have us feeling sluggish and inflamed. Now let’s be clear, the purpose of this conversation isn’t to cause fear surrounding certain foods and have you thinking “Oh no, now I can’t eat THAT too?!” We never want to label any food as “bad”, but the truth is that different foods do different things in our bodies, and the choices we make will greatly influence how we feel and look. Anais Goldberg has a beautiful way of breaking this concept down for us and shares her journey of being on the diet train for so many years, and the transformation that took place when she realized how to eliminate the stress around food and use it as medicine.
Anais Goldberg is the Founder of Cook Intuitively with Anais, which is a holistic approach to wellness driven by her belief that “the road to wellness starts in your kitchen.” After birthing 3 children in a 20 month span, Anais found herself having a hard time recovering and suffered from a long list of symptoms that she later learned were related to inflammation. Once she learned how to eat to combat inflammation, everything changed. Using flavorful combinations of food from her heritage combined with her passion for cooking, Anais teaches others how to build delicious, quick, and stress-free meals. As a busy mama, you know how valuable that is.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Anais shares how she was able to reduce symptoms of her autoimmune disease by learning which foods to eat and which to avoid in order to avoid inflammation. She also explains what it means to eat for radiant and youthful skin, and how much younger she feels since making this lifestyle shift. Anais also understands that sometimes we just want to eat a big bowl of pasta or have a dessert, and that is totally okay. It is your mindset and what you do after that matters. Tune in for more!

One thing that so many of us have learned from diet culture is that we have to be perfect in our nutrition and exercise in order to get the results we want. What usually ends up resulting from this mindset is that we continue to feel bad when we fall off of those strict diet and workout plans. This eventually leads to “I’ll start over on Monday,” which we continue to rinse and repeat. I don’t know about you but that cycle sounds miserable. Luckily, there is a much better way.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber shatters the idea that we have to be perfect in order to achieve sustainable weight loss. Being consistent is much more important than being perfect, and the key is to be consistent in the areas that work best for you. It doesn’t have to be complicated, it can and should be very simple. So many times women will join a fitness or nutrition program that has been designed to be a one-size-fits-all, but we all have different and unique lives so following a plan that isn't designed specifically for us is setting us up for frustration.
Amber walks you through an exercise that you can do today in order to create a lifestyle that is effortless and sustainable and will support your weight loss goals. The key here is that you are creating a lifestyle that works specifically for you. What are your habits now? What does your ideal day look like? How do you bridge the gap between those two? Amber works with her clients to change their daily habits in a way that best suits each individual person, not just what some influencer on Instagram says you have to do in order to lose weight. Listen in to hear how you can get a free coaching session with Amber to figure out how to make shifts in your life that will align with your weight loss goals and work for your lifestyle.

Are you tired of feeling like you and your partner are constantly on different pages when it comes to communication? Do you struggle to express your feelings without putting your partner on the defensive? If so, you won't want to miss this episode of Amber's journey toward improving her communication skills and transforming her relationship with her partner.
Through three powerful reframes, Amber was able to shift her language and take responsibility for her own emotions, leading to greater compassion and openness in her relationship. The first reframe Amber learned was to express hurt to her partner without using "you" statements. She learned to instead use "I" statements to communicate her feelings in a non-threatening way, which elicited more compassion and understanding from her partner because her partner was less likely to get on the defensive.
Amber also recognized that our triggers in a relationship often have nothing to do with our partner, but rather our own historical experiences. Understanding this allowed her to communicate more effectively and avoid getting triggered.
To learn more in-depth about all three reframes that are sure to improve your communications with your loved ones, tune into this episode. Amber's journey and insights will inspire you to improve the way you interact with others. Whether you're in a long-term relationship, newly dating, or even single and just looking to improve your communication skills, this episode is for you.

- Using “You” statements with our partners to express our hurt can come across as accusatory and put the recipient of these statements on the defensive.
- Communicating our feelings without using "you" statements can lead to more productive conversations, as "I" statements can communicate our emotions in a non-threatening way.
- Understanding that our triggers often have little to do with our partner's behavior can help avoid unnecessary conflict and facilitate more effective communication.
- Apologizing without including explanations for our behaviors can be a powerful tool for repairing damaged relationships, as it can help validate the other person's feelings and repair trust.

Are you a high-achieving woman who struggles to maintain consistent, healthy nutrition habits? Your perfectionism and all-or-nothing mentality has most likely served you very well in your life and led to great success with your career, but can be detrimental when it comes to your nutrition. In this series, Amber covers the nutrition pitfalls of high-achieving women and the habits that often keep you stuck in a miserable diet cycle.
In part 1, Amber broke down the all-or-nothing perfectionist mentality and how it can often be a double-edged sword. Part 2 of this series dove into the pitfall of not prioritizing nutrition and planning ahead. In this episode, Amber addresses another area that so many women struggle with, and that is negative self-talk. When you speak poorly to yourself, it is going to show up in other areas of your life. As a high-achieving woman, you are used to excelling and achieving your goals, but if you find yourself struggling with your nutrition, Amber encourages you to reflect on how to talk to yourself.
A key component of Amber’s nutrition programs is allowing yourself to get curious about your cravings. If you are stuck in the cycle of putting yourself down about your food cravings, you will not allow yourself to explore what may be causing you to want certain foods. Your cravings can reveal things about your body, but if you just beat yourself up for wanting certain foods, you will stay stuck in that negative loop. To take charge of your nutrition once and for all, you have to reconnect with your body, learn to detach from emotions, and let go of guilt. Own the fact that you're a grown ass woman and can eat whatever you want. Taking your power back in this way is incredibly freeing and allows you to take a deeper look into why you feel drawn to certain foods. So for all the high-achieving women out there that struggle with a perfectionist mindset, you are a powerful and strong woman, but you need to learn to soften that in some areas because the very thing that excels you can also be the thing that takes you down in other areas.

- “Stop. Breathe. Connect to how you’re feeling. Connect to how you’re feeling until you give a shit who in front of you is feeling what they’re feeling because if I’m not connecting to me, it’s very unlikely that I’m going to connect to you… that is the most fundamental thing that I hope anyone takes away from nonviolent communication… It is about an internal shift in you.”

On this episode of "The Wellness Revolution", Amber kicks off a series exploring the reasons high-achieving women struggle with staying consistent with their nutrition. Despite looking like she had everything under control, Amber has dealt with her own body image issues, and she understands her clients' struggles. Her approach focuses on retraining the brain and creating new habits that become a part of your identity, making it possible to lose and keep off weight sustainably.
This episode covers the first pitfall high-achieving women face when it comes to staying consistent with nutrition: the all-or-nothing mentality. One characteristic of high-achieving women is the perfectionistic mentality, which can be a double-edged sword. While it can be a strong suit, it can also be a downfall because it leads to an all-or-nothing mentality that bleeds into nutrition and exercise. If you relate to this mentality, this episode will increase your awareness and help you take the first step towards releasing this mindset.
The upcoming episode will address the second pitfall, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, don't miss Amber's previous episodes, where she shares tangible tips for healing the all-or-nothing mentality.
Key Highlights:
- Why high achieving professional women commonly face challenges with staying consistent with their nutrition
- How negative body image impacts your interpersonal relationships
- Why an identity shift is necessary for maintaining consistency with your health goals
- How perfectionism is sabotaging your progress
Quotes
“Sustainable weight loss is more than just counting calories and counting macros. That can get you weight loss, but that’s not going to get you sustainable weight loss. Sustainable weight loss is more so about shifting your identity.”

Are you struggling to prioritize yourself or feeling like there's never enough time to focus on your own well-being because you're constantly attending to the needs of others? Many women grapple with putting themselves first, pouring out their energy into their families, their partners, or work until they're left depleted. Failing to prioritize oneself can trigger feelings of frustration, defeat, and resentment because the way we spend our time is ultimately a testament to how much we value ourselves.
Constantly agreeing to others' demands could be a manifestation of a need for validation, and we all have a natural human desire to feel valued and cherished. However, it is essential to evaluate the benefits gained from repeating these behaviors and determine if they truly serve your long-term best interests.

Quotes

Do you want to know the secret to finally being free from the diet roller coaster that so many of us have been on for years? It’s telling yourself “yes”. “Yes, I can have another serving of food.” “Yes I can have a cookie.” Now stay with us, because you may be thinking that sounds counterintuitive to weight loss, but it’s actually the key to shifting your mindset from relying on willpower, to owning your power and ability to be in charge of your body.
For so many women that have a long history of dieting, they have lost touch with their body and ability to tune in to what their body is saying. Our bodies have a miraculous ability to tell us what we need, but if we continue to try to follow someone else’s diet plan and white knuckle through our cravings, we lose touch with that biofeedback. Part of going through Amber’s lifestyle coaching program is to re-learn how to tune in to what your body is saying. Your cravings can give you insight into what your body needs, and if you trust yourself to make decisions that are best for you, you can take back your power from the diets that do not support a sustainable and effortless lifestyle.
Amber coaches women in her program to remember the mantra, “The answer is always yes.” This is key in switching from a mindset of “I can’t have the food I want” to a place of “I’m a grown ass woman and can make decisions for myself.” That sounds scary at first, but trust that magic happens when you make this shift. It doesn’t mean that you’re going to eat a bunch of food that won’t nourish your body, but it means you are going to trust yourself to make your own choices that align with your goals. What so many women think is that they will lose control and go backward in their progress, but by making this mindset shift, you can finally move into a place that will foster a lifestyle that feels great for you and will be sustainable long term, because that’s the name of the game here.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber chats with Katy Whalen, CEO of Joi Women’s Wellness, an operation that focuses on hormone optimization and peptide therapies for women. Women often experience hormone imbalances, particularly after the age of 40, but these issues are frequently dismissed by doctors or attributed to menopause without further investigation.

You probably already know that stress has negative effects on our health and well-being, but what so many women don’t take into consideration is the various kinds of stress that all have an impact on increasing our stress hormones. Emotional stress, physical stress, and environmental stress all play a role in raising our cortisol levels, which can in turn make sustainable weight loss more challenging to achieve.
If you have been tuning in the past few weeks, you know Amber has been in the middle of 2 different series. The first was on necessary shifts for sustainable weight loss, which included Amber’s signature and proven method the Hormonal Fat Loss Blueprint. In this second series, Amber dives deeper into this method and its 4 crucial pieces. We’re closing out this series with this final episode covering the necessary component of stress mitigation.
Managing stress is imperative for achieving and maintaining weight loss, and while a lot of us know there are things we can do to lower emotional stress, we also need to pay attention to our physical and environmental stressors. Whether we are talking about emotional stress, physical, or environmental, our bodies react the same way, and that is by releasing cortisol. That doesn’t mean cortisol is bad because it has a very important role in keeping us safe from danger, but we were not meant to be in a chronic state of stress, which for so many women, has become the norm. Some ways women may be adding more stress without realizing it is overexercising, undereating, or from the things in their environment. The goal of this episode is to bring awareness to the stressors in our everyday lives and learn to mitigate them as best as we can, which will in turn help to achieve sustainable weight loss for good.
Key Highlights
- Why stress matters for fat loss
- How stress affects cortisol levels
- Ways to manage emotional stress
- Ways you may be adding physical stress without realizing it
- Factors that contribute to environmental stress

As we age, it becomes increasingly important to focus on optimizing our hormones, which will in turn help with achieving weight loss in an effortless and sustainable way. Amber’s approach to weight loss incorporates what she calls the “Hormonal Fat Loss Blueprint” and in this series, she breaks down the 4 pillars of this proven method. It is all about learning how to work with your body and hormones instead of fighting against your biology and inevitably feeling frustrated and stuck in a cycle of diets that just don’t work.
This episode is part 3 of this series, so make sure to tune in to parts 1 and 2 before diving in here. In the previous 2 parts, Amber covers the topics of eating for hormone stabilization, and also what it looks like to incorporate intermittent fasting in a flexible manner that optimizes hormone levels.
Part 3 of the Hormonal Fat Loss Blueprint is all about exercising in terms of hormone optimization and fat loss, which is a crucial piece of the puzzle that so many women aren’t aware of. We hear so often that it is all about “calories in vs calories out” so we end up slashing calories and increasing exercise intensity only to be so frustrated when we don’t see results. The truth that not enough people are talking about is that more is not necessarily better when it comes to exercise. As we age, it becomes more and more critical to focus on stress mitigation, both mentally and physically. By drastically cutting calories and doing high-intensity workouts several days a week, you may actually be causing more harm than good by putting too much stress on your body.
Prioritizing exercising is important for our overall health, but we don’t want to overdo it. By focusing on restorative exercises such as yoga, walking, and biking mixed in with some strength training, your body will thank you. Tune in next week for part 4 of this series on The Hormonal Fat Loss Blueprint.
Key Highlights
- More is not always better when it comes to exercise
- Why women approaching menopause and beyond need to focus on more low-impact exercises
- Amber shares what her workouts look like
- Why women over 40 and 50 need to be strength training
- The best way to change body composition
- Focusing on restorative exercises for stress management

In this informative episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber speaks with Catharine Arnston, an expert in algae for wellness, nutrition, beauty, biohacking, mitochondria, and longevity. Catharine sheds light on the power of algae as a nutrient-dense food crop that packs three times the protein of steak. However, despite its remarkable benefits, many people outside of Asia were oblivious to its existence until Catharine embarked on a 12-year journey to research and raise awareness about its remarkable healing properties.
To make algae more accessible, Catharine created ENERGYbits®, a spirulina tablet that can provide all the necessary nutrition and protein, with one tablet being equivalent to a plate of vegetables. This efficient nutrition means that individuals can receive all the nutrition of vegetables without eating a single vegetable.
Catharine also discusses two types of algae - spirulina and chlorella. Spirulina has the highest protein content in the world and is very energizing, while chlorella has the highest chlorophyll content and is cleansing and detoxifying. Additionally, Catharine explains how algae feeds our mitochondria and how it can restore them, as well as the crucial role mitochondria play in our bodies.
Tune in to this episode for an enlightening discussion on the numerous benefits of algae and how it can enhance our health and well-being. This informative conversation emphasizes the significance of integrating this nutrient-packed food into our daily diets. Get ready to discover how algae can revolutionize your approach to nutrition!
Episode Quotes:
- “We have three problems in our world… Number one is even if you ate a very carefully curated vegetable diet, it’s very hard to give your body what you need, and we’re all busy… Number two is we are relying on processed foods and fast food… The third problem is we are surrounded by toxins.”
- “The combo of not enough nutrition from whole foods, poor nutrition from packaged food, missing nutrients from supplements, and toxic overload, has put all of us, especially if you’re over 40, in the danger zone.”
- “Algae isn’t new, it’s just new to you… It’s been used safely for 60 years in Japan… It’s not a fad. It’s here to stay. It’s a gift to us from Mother Nature.”
Key Highlights:
- Catharine’s journey to discovering the healing power of algae
- Unpacking the nutrient-dense benefits of algae

The Hormonal Fat Loss Blueprint is Amber’s tactical process for sustainable weight loss and teaches women how to use food as medicine to stabilize hormones and ditch restrictive diets for good. If you have been tuning in the past few weeks, you know Amber did a solo series all about necessary shifts for sustainable weight loss and is now covering one of those pillars in depth, which involves eating for blood sugar control and hormone stabilization.
In part 1 of this series, Amber covered her simplified approach to nutrition that promises food freedom and getting rid of the miserable practice of counting calories or macros because let’s be real, no one wants to do that. In this second part of the series, we dive into intermittent fasting as a tool to help regulate insulin and in turn stabilize hormones naturally. Amber is a huge fan of intermittent fasting and has first-hand seen the tremendous benefits. With that being said, it might not be for everyone right off the bat, so tune in to hear whether intermittent fasting may or may not be a tool for you at the moment.
The key aspect of intermittent fasting that needs to be emphasized is that it should be flexible. No one should be eating according to a clock and fighting against what their body is telling them. We don’t white knuckle anything around here because we know relying on willpower just doesn’t work and will end up just being another diet, which is the last thing we want.
Key highlights:
- Amber explains that she uses her integrative nutrition background to help women use their food as medicine
- Amber covers a quick recap of last week’s episode on eating for hormone stabilization
- The benefits of intermittent fasting
- Amber acknowledges that nothing is a one size fits all approach so there are some reasons why intermittent fasting may not be right for someone
- What “flexible intermittent fasting” looks like
- The fasting “sweet spot” for women over 40

Amber aims to empower women to break free from dieting and regain confidence in their bodies by adopting a healthy lifestyle that is easy to maintain. The current culture often perpetuates the notion that weight loss requires restrictive diets and calorie counting, leading to feelings of failure if individuals cannot adhere to strict meal plans. This approach overlooks the fact that weight loss is not solely determined by calories, but also by hormones and overall health.
Amber's solution is what she calls the Hormonal Fat Loss Blueprint, a four-part approach to sustainable weight loss. In this first episode, she will discuss the first part, which focuses on eating for blood sugar control and hormone stability. Hormonal imbalances, particularly in insulin levels, can greatly impact our hunger, energy, and ability to lose weight. By incorporating blood sugar-stabilizing foods, it becomes possible to manage hormones and achieve weight loss without counting calories.
In this episode, Amber will delve deeper into this first pillar, explaining the role of insulin, the body's glucose processing, and insulin resistance.

Many people let their circumstances define their lives and tell their stories, but adopting a growth mindset is more likely to lead to success. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber is joined by thought leader Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco, an expert in personal growth. During this conversation, Amber and Mike discuss how we are all unstoppable and can live any life we desire.
From a young age, Mike displayed a talent for pointing out qualities in people that they may not have been able to see themselves, and he had an ability and desire to motivate people. Mike believes we must have conviction about the things that we know to be true, feel our power in being able to change the course of our lives at any time, and find the aspect of the story that will propel us forward.
Instead of thinking of bad events in life as setbacks, Mike encourages us to see them as lessons and investments. He says that when we are comfortable all the time, we can become complacent without even realizing it. When we are faced with wake up calls or tough events in our lives, Mike encourages people to use them to create something that benefits us. In this episode, Mike goes into this further and shares many great pieces of advice and practical ways of thinking that anyone can benefit from.
Key Highlights:
- Mike's background that inspired his career

- The importance of getting clear on what you want out of life
- You can change your path at any moment

This is part 5 of Amber’s series about shifts that are necessary to achieve sustainable weight loss, keep the weight off, and create a lifestyle that feels effortless. It all boils down to habit and mindset changes that allow you to live a lifestyle that works for you and gets you off the diet wagon once and for all. If you haven’t checked out parts 1-4 yet, go through them and really let those ideas sink in before capping things off with shift number 5. They lay the foundation that this final shift can’t exist without because sustainable weight loss starts with your mindset and your initiative.
Shift number 5 is a shift that literally changed Amber’s life and yanked her off the endless diet train and out of the vicious spiral of continually gaining back lost weight, with reinforced nasty habits to boot! What was that life-altering final step?
She hired a mentor.
Her mentor helped her unravel her limiting beliefs around food and her own body, and as a result, led her down a better path. That mentor wasn’t cheap, but Amber was dead tired of doing things on her own. She didn’t necessarily need more information. She needed accountability, guidance, and a streamlined process. Really, she needed somebody who could be her cheerleader without judging her for her unproductive beliefs and unhealthy habits. In other words, Amber needed someone who could give her the confidence to continue on when things weren’t going as planned.
If the pain of sliding back into old habits (and your old weight!) is greater than the pain of writing a relatively sizable check for a high-quality mentor, go with the mentor! For Amber, that decision was the best she’s ever made in her life, and it could be for yours, too, if you decide to take the leap.
Key Highlights
- Why diets actually cause weight gain
- How focusing on the process and not the outcome leads to a sustainable weight loss journey
- The importance of the hormonal fat loss blueprint
- Healing our relationship with food
- The life-changing power of hiring the right mentor

Up until recently, anyone who wanted to quit alcohol would be hard-pressed to find resources that didn’t use the words “recovery”, “addiction”, or other similarly scary, shame-inducing terms. That’s true even today. What’s more, the majority of experts typically recommend either going on a highly-restrictive program or drinking only “in moderation”. Our guest, Amanda Kuda, has tried (and failed) to quit alcohol using both approaches. Today she does a deep dive into how she has found a third way to finally enjoy an alcohol-free life—and has since helped countless other women do the same!
Unable to find the right coach for herself, Amanda dedicated herself to mastering the principles of habit formation and personal & spiritual development, in order to gradually change her relationship with alcohol. It all started with getting clear on those areas in her life in which she fell back on alcohol as a tool to deal with life’s various challenges.
“As soon as alcohol was out of the way,” Amanda says, “my whole world opened up. All of the pieces that I’ve been putting into place before then to improve myself: to be more emotionally regulated and stable, to be spiritually happier, and to be more abundant—all of a sudden, those things started working tenfold.”
In this episode, Amanda shares how her refusal to live a “moderate life” motivated her to completely remove alcohol from the picture, and how she totally transformed at the physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual level as a result. She discusses the importance of embracing the authentic you that’s just waiting to be unearthed once you become content with facing the challenges of life without the numbing effect of alcohol. As she explains, the urge to drink is just the symptom. Once you identify the root, you can make healthier, more objective lifestyle decisions toward living an alcohol-free life. Tune in for more!
Key Highlights
- What does it mean to be "sober curious"?
- Why you don't need to have a problem with alcohol for alcohol to be a problem in your life (and why it's still difficult to quit)
- How "balancing" with alcohol may still be keeping you from your goals
- Using elective sobriety as a personal and spiritual development tool

This is part 4 of Amber’s series about shifts that are necessary to achieve sustainable weight loss, keep the weight off, and create a lifestyle that feels effortless. It all boils down to habit and mindset changes that allow you to live a lifestyle that works for you and gets you off the diet wagon once and for all. Check out parts 1-3 if you haven’t already because they set the stage for the big game changer that is shift number 4. This one was a huge dial mover for Amber, and if you can’t master this one, then none of the others really matter. Without making this crucial mindset shift, you will remain a prisoner to food, and no one wants that. The key lies in healing your relationship with food.
Dysfunctional relationships with food are so common, and many women don’t even realize that their relationship with food needs healing, but here is what everyone needs to hear: Your relationship with food is not your fault. There is so much advice out there about what to eat and what not to eat, that these ideas of “good” food vs. “bad” food have been ingrained in us for so long. Mama, it’s time to ditch the idea of food morality because the truth is, food is food. If you ever feel anxious about food or guilty for eating something you think is “bad”, then take a look into your relationship with food and let’s think about human tendencies here. As humans, when someone tells us we can't do something, what usually happens? We focus on the one thing we aren't supposed to do. By making this seemingly simple mindset shift that food is food and that you are a grown woman who can eat what you want, your relationship with food can heal and become something you can be consistent with.
When you start operating out of this mindset, you can move into your rational mind and think about, “Okay I can have this cookie, but what am I really craving? Can I have a healthier alternative that will satisfy my craving?” If you want to get off the diet roller coaster, you need to own this new mindset. It might be scary for some women because they think it will lead to binging, but Amber promises that if you can just start to make this shift, you can change the way you look at food, end the guilt spiral, and let go of the common “all or nothing” mentality. If you don't get a grip on this piece of it, everything will be “just another diet.” By mastering this one shift, you will be able to be consistent with the first 3 and that is the name of the game.
Key Highlights
- There is more to the story than calories in and calories out
- Why this shift was such a game-changer for Amber
- A dysfunctional relationship with food is so common and we may not even realize it
- You don't have to be perfect to reach your goals
- Letting go of food morality
- These shifts are not about being perfect, they are all about being consistent and loving yourself in the process

Nutrition is an important aspect of our lives that matters from the time we are born and all throughout adulthood, so why is there not more research and talk about what we can eat every day to live a long and healthy life? That is the goal of Amber’s guest Dr. Joseph Antoun. Dr. Joseph is CEO & Chairman of the Board of L-Nutra and a Member of the Forbes Business Development Council. He has his Doctorate in Medicine and Masters’ in Medical and Biological Sciences at Saint Joseph University.
His focus is on seeing people before they are sick by tailoring nutrition as medicine and aiming for longevity. The goal is to prevent disease by living a lifestyle that combats the causes of diseases instead of relying on conventional medicine when diseases are present. Conventional medicine of course has a very important role in our lives, but we want to not have to use them in the first place, and instead live a life that sets us up for health and longevity from the get-go.
In this episode, Dr. Joseph explains that a lot of diseases happen later in life due to the lifestyle choices that people make, and may not even be aware of the negative consequences. Factors such as nutrition, stress, happiness, and exercise play a major role, and this is what Dr. Joseph has dedicated his career to educating people on. He takes a deep dive into the topic of fasting and explains what happens in our bodies when we fast, the benefits of fasting, different forms of fasting, and the optimal windows for certain goals. Tune in for more!
Key Highlights
- How can we tailor our nutrition as medicine?
- Why are we not looking into food as a cure for diseases?
- Why do most diseases happen later in life?
- The benefits of fasting and different forms of fasting
- What happens in our body when we fast
- Can fasting work for menopausal women? How does it affect hormones?
- How often should we do a prolonged fast?
- What is the max women should fast on a daily basis?
- Do we get benefits from short fasts each day?
- What are the hours we should fast on a daily basis?
- Is it better to eat a late dinner or to delay breakfast?
- What does a well-balanced diet look like?

This episode is part 3 of Amber’s series about shifts that are necessary to achieve sustainable weight loss that is effortless and most of all, works for you. If you haven’t already tuned in to part 1, make sure you check that out here, and you can find part two here. While the last two episodes in this series covered some mental shifts that you need to make in order to be able to achieve sustainable weight loss, part 3 is more of a tactical shift. In order to get out of the vicious cycle of dieting, you first need to realize that diets don’t work long-term and this is a lifestyle shift, not a quick fix, which means it is so important to focus on the habits and process instead of just the goal of losing weight.
The third shift that Amber covers in this episode involves using our food as medicine and working with our bodies instead of trying to do diets and crazy exercises that will actually work against us. Hormones play a huge role in fat loss, and they cannot be ignored in the equation of learning how to reach our weight loss goals in a healthy way. The key is to make sure our hormones are balanced as best as we can, and this does not have to be complicated. Amber explains the role that insulin plays in fat loss, and how we can use both food and the timing of our meals to control insulin throughout the day.
A key factor in Amber’s programs is her hormonal fat loss blueprint, and in this episode, you will hear what looks like for the women that join Amber’s 6-month program. While food and exercise are obviously big factors for weight loss, we also have to pay attention to the effects that stress can have on our bodies if we are not focusing on ways to mitigate it. When we think about stress, we often think of mental stress, but the physical stress we can put on our bodies is important to take into account. This means getting enough sleep, not over-exercising, getting in enough calories, and more. Weight loss is so much more than calories in vs. calories out, and we need to look at other health markers that play a role in our ability to not only be healthy, but to lose weight.
Key Highlights
- Amber reviews shifts one and two from previous episodes in this series
- Why we need to learn to work with our bodies and hormones instead of against them
- Why insulin can be a reason women have a hard time losing weight
- Intermittent fasting: do we have to be strict with it?
- Exercising for optimal hormone balance
- The importance of stress mitigation

Although social media is a wonderful tool that connects us with other people, so many of us fall into the comparison trap. What we need to realize is that humans are multifaceted creatures with so many unique attributes, and what we see online is only a small fraction of the full dimension of someone’s life. Instead of falling into this game of sizing up your life to everyone else’s and trying to be someone else that you are not, it’s time to step into your authentic self and own your truth. Amber’s guest is here to help you do just that.
Jessica Zweig is the CEO of SimplyBe, which is an international award-winning personal branding firm, and she is the author of #1 best selling book, “Be. - A No B.S. Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself.” Jessica shares her journey of becoming an entrepreneur and the struggle she had between what was happening on the outside of her life, and how she felt inside. There was a disconnect between what she was doing daily, and what she felt she was meant to do. After an illness and surgery forced Jessica to get still and quiet with herself, she was able to hear a message from her true self that gave her permission to just “be.” She found out that when you learn to ask the difficult and uncomfortable questions and lean into them, you will hear the answer. In a noisy and busy world, it can be difficult to hear those messages from the universe, or our dharma, or whatever you want to call it. In order to hear it, you have to get quiet and embrace what it means to just be.
In this episode, Jessica encourages us to focus on our own lane instead of getting distracted or caught up in what someone else is doing. Her message for you is to never underestimate your worth and stay open to the magic of your life and the most beautiful things can manifest from that. The key is that you have to know that you deserve them. One very simple yet powerful switch that Jessica encourages us all to make, is to acknowledge and receive when someone says something genuinely nice to us. We have been programmed to downplay or deflect a compliment, and we don’t even realize it, but it’s time to own the magic and beauty that is within you. Being on a personal growth journey can be uncomfortable but you will come out the other side a better and more refined version of yourself. Tune in for more!

This episode is part 2 of Amber’s series about shifts that are necessary to achieve sustainable weight loss that is effortless and most of all, works for you. If you haven’t already tuned in to part 1, make sure you check that out here. The first shift that is needed to achieve sustainable weight loss, is realizing that diets do not work. The second part is to stop focusing on weight loss. It has been proven that solely focusing on the end result of a goal is not what actually gets us there. The key is to focus on the process, which means working backward and figuring out what you need to do in order to reach your goal.
Another really important factor to mention is that the process needs to be tailored to your lifestyle or you’ll have a really hard time sticking with it. If you are trying to follow the routines and lifestyle of some influencer online, and you find yourself struggling to stay on track, it’s probably just not for you, and that’s okay. You don’t need to work out at 5 AM just because someone on Instagram said so. When you are trying to establish habits that work for your life, it is not about what works for someone else, it’s about honoring and recognizing that your life is unique, so we want to find what is ideal for YOU.
If you find yourself constantly saying you “fell off the wagon”, Amber wants you to know, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you as a person. Most likely, the program or habits that you have been incorporating are just not realistic for you. Amber is all about making a healthy lifestyle both enjoyable and sustainable so that you can keep it up long term and not continue to burn out and feel worse each time that a diet doesn’t work out.
We want to think about the choices we can make to move the needle forward while using our food as medicine and enjoying life in the process. In time, weight loss will be the byproduct so there is absolutely no reason this should be a stressful process. Tune in next week for part 3!
Key Highlights
-
The two reasons why people can’t lose the weight and keep it off
-
Diet culture teaches us to focus on the outcome, but we need to focus on the process
- The key is to establish routines that work for our lifestyle
- Making a “healthy” lifestyle delicious and sustainable
- Learning to use our cravings as biofeedback instead of something that is “wrong”
- Why “one-size fits all” diets don’t work

As someone that was always chasing diets and falling off the wagon, Amber knows what it is like to go through the same cycle of hating her body, feeling miserable about her relationship with food, and having disordered eating habits. Being in a constant emotional purgatory with food and her body left Amber feeling so defeated and worried that she would always live in this vicious cycle. She became convinced that life would always feel this way until she made shifts in her life that allowed her to begin her journey to sustainable weight loss and finally find food freedom. Amber will share the 5 shifts needed to achieve sustainable weight loss in this 5 part series.
This episode is part 1 of this series and features the very first big shift that needs to happen to be able to make this a lifestyle and not just another fad diet that will leave you miserable. A huge part of Amber’s coaching is mindset because if we don’t get our mindset in check, making real and sustainable change won’t happen. The first big shift you need to make is recognizing that diets cause weight gain. This might seem counterintuitive, but let’s think about it. While it’s true that diets may work in the short term due to calorie restriction, it is not something that you can stick to long term, which leads many to fall back into old habits and end up feeling even worse than they felt before.
The first thing to realize is that creating a sustainable lifestyle is about playing the long game. This won’t be a quick fix, but it will be so worth it when you feel confident, love the body you’re in, have a healthy relationship with food, don’t feel restricted, and actually feel satisfied with the meals you eat on a daily basis. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Well, let me tell you, reaching that point can happen for you if you make these 5 shifts and build a lifestyle that is effortless and absolutely sustainable. Tune in each week on Monday for Amber’s solo episodes to hear the rest of these 5 shifts needed to keep the weight off and get off the diet train for good.

Today’s guest is a peak performance coach that teaches audiences how to hit emotional balance and be in control of their emotions. Christopher Dedeyan has a beautiful story of overcoming obstacles and will leave you inspired to persevere and achieve anything you desire. After years of struggling in school, Christopher was diagnosed with dyslexia and was faced with many failures at a young age. Because of his perseverance and determination, Christopher learned how to use his unique attributes to his advantage and is now a successful entrepreneur and motivational speaker.
In this conversation with Amber, Christopher emphasizes the importance of getting in touch with your intuition and becoming massively aware of your current state. So many of us are confusing danger and fear because fear is constantly kicking in to keep us safe. It does not realize when we are not actually in a state of danger because we perceive the unknown as danger, which can keep us from amazing and wonderful opportunities. Once you can tap in and understand your true emotion as fear and not actual danger, you can achieve what you may have never thought was possible. As moms, we are constantly taking care of others, but being a martyr is not doing anyone any good. You have heard it before, but often we need a reminder: We can not take the best care of other people if we are not taking the best care of ourselves. We can do that by taking quiet time to reflect inward and be able to access that intuition and learn to achieve emotional balance.
Learning to control our emotions does not mean that we don’t allow ourselves to deeply feel negative emotions. Allowing ourselves to feel what we need to feel is incredibly important, but is it also so important to be intentional and in control of those emotions. Christopher explains that we need to give ourselves a timeframe for those emotions and then develop steps to overcome whatever the obstacles may be. If we don't learn to control and understand our emotions, then they will control us, and eventually, we’ll lose control. Learning to take that energy and use it for positivity is the key. Tune in for more!
Key Highlights
- Christopher offers a reframe for social media to think about it positively instead of seeing it as a comparison trap
- Learning to follow your dharma or intuition
- Fear vs. danger: How to tell the difference
- The number one thing high performers do
- The importance of taking care of yourself so you can take care of others
- When something difficult happens, look at what you can control and let go of the rest
- Allowing ourselves to feel emotions and learning from them
- How to develop a habit

There has been a lot of buzz recently in the medical community about Alzheimer's and the disease’s link to insulin resistance. You might have heard that some medical professionals are now referring to Alzheimer’s as “type 3 diabetes” due to research findings indicating that people with type 2 diabetes are at a higher risk of Alzheimer’s due to its correlation with insulin resistance. Amber recently read a scary statistic stating that two-thirds of Alzheimer’s patients are women, and less than 2% of cases are believed to be due to a genetic predisposition. So the questions become: why are women more likely to develop Alzheimer's, and if it is not due to genetics, what can we do to prevent it?
Is now a known fact that insulin plays a huge part in the development of Alzheimer's, so we should be looking at the preventive measures for type 2 diabetes as a way to also prevent Alzheimer’s. These lifestyle shifts are the same habits that Amber teaches in her coaching practice as her approach to sustainable weight loss and a healthier lifestyle. These habits include: consuming less processed foods, regular exercise, more protein and fiber, regular sleep, and stress management. Amber also mentions certain tools for checking your blood sugar if you are curious about how certain foods affect your levels.
We know that continued high blood sugar levels lead to inflammation which can damage brain cells, which can lead to neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Now that we know this direct link to this terrible disease, why wouldn’t we make changes to our lifestyle to ensure we are doing all that we can to avoid it? Amber’s goal with this episode and The Wellness Revolution podcast in general, is to arm you with information so that you can be your own advocate for your health.
Key Highlights
- Alzheimer's is plaguing so many women and we are not talking about it enough
- The recent buzz in health and wellness referring to Alzheimer's as type 3 diabetes
- Why is it called type 3 diabetes? What does that mean?
- The correlation between insulin resistance and Alzheimer's
- Amber explains the role of insulin
- Risk factors for Alzheimer's and type 2 diabetes are the same, so now that we know this what do we do?
- New research points to Alzheimer's being preventable
- Amber’s intention is to create a level of awareness for a disease that is not talked about enough

One of the most powerful things we can do to begin to make significant changes in our lives is to question the stories that we tell ourselves each day. As children, we absorb the ideas, philosophies, and patterns of those around us, and oftentimes we carry them into adulthood without questioning them. One of the most dangerous things we can do is to trust all of our thoughts as facts without checking in, and thinking, “Where is the evidence to actually back that up?” So many of us are carrying stories about our bodies, and about diets and nutrition that are actually damaging and untrue. Amber’s guest today is here to shake up these ideas and encourage you to question what you have been telling yourself about nutrition and weight loss, and get curious about how it would look to build a nutrition plan around your unique attributes, interests, and lifestyle.
Mike Millner has been a high-level nutrition coach for almost 10 years, and he has a gift for understanding the psychological and physiological needs of his clients, which has led to thousands of success stories. He believes that cookie-cutter nutrition plans don’t work because every person is different. By getting interested in personality psychology, Mike realized that by following generalized nutrition plans, this often means we are fighting an uphill battle because it does not take our personality into account. We hear a lot about weight loss being as simple as “calories in vs. calories out”, but there is much more to the picture. Stress and hormones play a huge role in all of this as well, so following a nutrition plan that is best suited for you, is going to be the key to making it a sustainable lifestyle.
In this episode, Mike and Amber discuss the importance of individualized nutrition approaches because the idea of “eat less, move more” does not take the whole picture into consideration. Our metabolism is a stress barometer, not a calorie calculator, so it reacts to the inputs and outputs of our environment and the stressors in our life. Mike emphasizes that we need to approach nutrition and weight loss holistically to look at our individual needs and preferences.
Key Highlights
- Mike shares about his childhood and seeing his family go through body image issues and constant fad diets and how that affected him
- Mike explains the shift that took place when he went to college and gained a lot of weight quickly which led to a lot of crash diets and unhealthy habits
- Mike’s journey of working with a mentor that transformed his life by encouraging him to work with his own unique attributes and preferences instead of fighting them
- Often times the stress we put on ourselves to eat perfectly is more detrimental than the food we are labeling as “bad”
- Weight loss should be aligned with who you are as a person, so work with someone that helps you to stop fighting yourself in the process

As we are heading into another New Year, this is the perfect time to talk about goal setting. You may be reflecting on the last year and thinking about what you want to achieve in 2023, but what if you have been approaching goal setting all wrong? For Amber, she used to set extreme goals that would eventually fade out, leading to a feeling of failure and frustration. What she has learned is that so often, we aren’t setting realistic and sustainable goals. You should know that we are all about “realistic and sustainable” around here, so how do we approach goal setting in a way that sets us up for success and gets us those wins? Amber has 3 tips in this episode to help you transform how you are setting goals so you can actually achieve them.
Amber’s first tip is to focus on the process instead of the outcome. Instead of setting a goal of losing X amount of weight, think about what it would take to get there, and work your way backward. Maybe part of that is getting a regular workout routine, which means setting aside time for it, which could mean getting up earlier, which means going to bed earlier. Now your new goal is to go to bed at a certain time, which is specific and sets you up to achieve the bigger picture. When you focus on the habits of a healthy person, weight loss is the byproduct.
The next tip is to go SLOW. For so many of us, we have a knee-jerk reaction to jump into a “quick-fix” diet, but we already know those do not work for long-lasting results. To make lasting, sustainable change, we need to go slowly. What we want to achieve is a lifestyle change that will stick, and that doesn’t happen overnight. It happens with intentional incremental changes and mindset shifts.
The third tip is to make sure you are setting SMART goals. This stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. All goals should have a component of each of these, and Amber walks you through what that looks like. You may be thinking that your goal is weight loss, but If you want to lose weight and keep it off for good, you need to focus on both the mindset and what it will actually take to get to that goal. Tune in to hear these tips and walk into 2023 with goals that will actually stick!
Key Highlights
- Amber shares how she has shifted her goal-setting over the years after realizing the old way was not working
- People hop on diets at the beginning of the year for quick fixes but the problem is that they don't focus on how to maintain it, so the weight comes back
- Tip #1: Focus on the PROCESS, not the OUTCOME
- Tip #2: Go slowly- sustainable and realistic changes won’t happen with a quick fix
- Tip #3: Setting SMART goals- realistic, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely
- Celebrate the wins!

If you are like Amber, you might have tried all the skincare products and treatments that promise even and glowy skin. However, when you keep trying new things that promise everyone, including people with different skin types than you, that they will address your skin needs, it’s hard to land on a product that with really work for you.
A scientist, bioengineer, and Leukemia survivor, Dr. Anu Thubagere joins Amber on the podcast today to talk about iuno, the skin protocol she has created that uses the science of proteomics to analyze the user’s unique protein patterns and treat your unique skin concerns.
The product is tailored to you and changes based on your lifestyle, including the weather where you are and seasonal changes. Unlike laser treatments or other common skincare trends, this product is highly customized and natural. Since the product is sealed from the air, it doesn’t require any preservatives or shelf stabilizers. This use of solely pure ingredients keeps the product clean. Consequently, this product is safe for anyone with sensitive skin.
Dr. Thubagere and her team understand that lifestyle changes can change your body's proteins, which will show up on your skin, so using the same products every day is not viable. The reason iuno works is because it was made specifically for you, and to meet your needs better, the formulation is tweaked every month. As a DNA-based, noninvasive, and natural skincare line, iuno truly goes against the grain.
Key Highlights:
- Why iuno works, what is in it, and what it is designed to do
- How iuno differs from Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL Treatment)
- How does iuno fit into clean beauty?
- How lifestyle changes affect your skin and when you need different products
- The skincare issues iuno targets
- The impact that being diagnosed with Leukemia had on Dr. Thubagere's research and development of the technology
- Creating a product that allows women to decompress at the end of the day and that works on their skin while they sleep
- What Dr. Thubagere recommends for skincare in the morning
- Thubagere's home, life, and work routines

Episode Quotes:
"They were looking at how leukemia was manifesting … The doctors were basically looking at all these different symptoms but didn’t really look at the root cause." - Dr. Thubagere
"We’ve paid extra attention because we think science is sexy. I think science can be super sexy, so our product is walking that line between being sciency, having high efficacy, but the user experience … has been at the forefront of product development for us." - Dr. Thubagere
"I think it’s so important to take that step back and decompress and not be so reactive to everything." - Dr. Thubagere

Cannabis is often thought of as a drug that makes you stoned, but many experts and studies indicate that small doses of THC in the plant can have several health benefits.
In addition to offering a more natural remedy for patients experiencing very debilitating issues, THC can also be used to relax or unwind without the need for alcohol. THC has been used for treating chronic pain, fatigue, and more. Many people experiencing common mental health issues, such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety, find their symptoms improve when they start microdosing. Microdosing THC has even been found to enhance creativity and focus.
Just like wine, marijuana comes in many varieties or strains, so you can select a product that supports your wellness goals best. And to mitigate the psychoactive effects of THC, pick a product that has a higher CBD to THC ratio.
Lately, Amber has been using CURED Nutrition’s Serenity gummies as a more natural and healthy way to unwind at the end of a long day rather than having a glass of wine. CURED Nutrition's products are designed to promote balance, reduce stress, and assist your body in coping with daily stressors. The products contain ingredients like CBD, adaptogens, and functional mushrooms.
It is totally understandable if you have reservations about using THC, but Amber wants to provide you with information about its benefits so you can make informed choices for your health. This episode might interest you if you are curious about how THC could make a positive difference in your life.

Today’s guest on the podcast, registered herbalist and holistic nutritionist Danielle Ryan Broida, believes we each have a light and something we are called to do in this world, and there is no way to fulfill our callings from a place of depletion. Yet, the most common issue among people right now is coping with stress and pressure from our environment. We are joined by Danielle today to discuss how adaptogenic mushrooms can help us manage stress quickly and naturally as well as improve our longevity and well-being.
The vast majority of women, especially moms and young women, suffer from chronic depletion. Adaptogens are a relatively quick way to help our bodies on a molecular level. With the typical diet today, the news, our jobs, and the toxins in our environment, we are asking a lot of our bodies and it is clear that we have never needed adaptogens more.
When Danielle first discovered mushrooms, there weren't many conversations about mushrooms in society, and her mission has been to get more people to learn about and benefit from mushrooms. If you've struggled to remove bodily stress despite your best efforts and are looking for natural ways to fuel your body and health, this episode is for you. Danielle discusses how to get the most out of adaptogens, how to choose the right adaptogens for our health and longevity, and how to spot reputable products.
Key Highlights:
- Danielle's unconventional career path
- The stress we impose on our bodies, and what we can do to restore energy, motivation, and wellbeing
- Adaptogens: What they are and how they can benefit us
- The 5 Different Kinds of Mushrooms
- What is the best way to take adaptogens and mushrooms?
- Checklist to ensure you're buying quality mushrooms
- What is the best way to use adaptogens for longevity and well-being?
- How we can use adaptogens to secure a solid foundation from which to address more specific health issues

Staying consistent with your nutrition is key to meeting and maintaining your health goals, and the best way to do that is to create habits that support the kind of life you want to live. To stay consistent and on track, Amber emphasizes that focusing more on the process than the end result is necessary.
How many times have you found that it's already 1 pm and you haven't eaten yet? It's a situation I'm sure many of us can relate to. We are more likely to make food choices that are not in line with our fitness goals when we don't prepare.
Staying consistent with nutrition requires preparation. Food prep doesn’t have to look like spending all of your Sunday making food for the week. Depending on your schedule and circumstances, your health choices will be different from someone else's. In order to achieve your health goals, you need to maintain consistency most of the time and develop food habits that are second nature to you. Taking a couple of minutes every day to prepare your food can help you stay on track and reduce your stress. In this episode, Amber outlines the three steps to finding the lifestyle that serves your health goals best.

In general, women are expected to say yes and to make sure everyone is taken care of. Women, especially those raising a family and working, are prone to burnout because of this. Our guest on today's podcast, Dr. Sasha Shillcut, is an integrative functional registered dietician who teaches women how to overcome burnout and take control of their time and their life by learning to set boundaries with their families, at work, with their children, and more.
Due to the lack of boundaries she used to set in her life, Dr. Sasha has experienced seasons of loneliness, anxiety, and complete burnout. In her newest book, Brave Boundaries, she shares how she recreated her life based on her priorities and went from surviving to thriving. She spent one year saying No to things she didn't want in her life and documented her experience along the way, discovering that she had reclaimed a lot of time and joy as a result.
In this podcast episode, Amber and Dr. Sasha will discuss the expectations in society of what a woman "should" be and do, how to kindly enact boundaries, boundaries every woman needs, and how to deal with setting boundaries in some of the most difficult areas such as with your children or your phone. Whether you feel you take on too many tasks for which you aren't getting paid, or you feel stuck doing things that do not align with your priorities, values, or the way you want to spend your time, this episode is packed with advice and resources that will help you begin to reclaim your time and your life.
Key Highlights:
- How Dr. Sasha found her joy after a year of saying no
- Enacting boundaries as a woman

It is common for Amber to hear from women she coaches that healthy eating during the holidays causes them a great deal of stress. Due to a vicious cycle of binge-restrict diets, many women think they need to blow their diets and overindulge during the holiday season. However, there is a much better way to approach eating during this season as well as throughout the year.
You can mindfully indulge in a way that does not cross the line of binging, even if you are actively trying to lose weight. To begin with, you should understand that you have the freedom to decide what you eat. Over time, mindful indulgence keeps you consistent because you allow yourself the things you love, even if they are not a regular part of your diet.
Amber promotes not looking at your food as good or bad because when we do this, we tend to think: “I am bad if I eat this food” when we eat something we have deemed “bad.” Subsequently, we want these foods even more, resulting in feeling like we need to reset our diet all over again.
In this episode, Amber will share three ways you can still cash in on the holiday goodies you love while working towards your fitness goals because sustainable weight loss isn't dependent on perfection, and the path to health isn't a diet; it's a lifestyle change.

Everywhere you look, there is information about what kind of diet works best. Although restrictive diets can produce results for you, they will not necessarily be sustainable, so your weight loss will not be long-term. You can begin to see real progress on your journey when you address the core issues rather than just the symptoms you are trying to stop.
Historically, dietitians have followed the Food Pyramid, but now Doctors view dietitians as abandoning nutritional science in favor of HAES/Intuitive Eating. Michelle Shapiro RD, our podcast guest today, calls herself the "Queen of the Middle Ground" because she strives to bridge the differences between dietitians.
It is very divisive in the nutrition world now, with different RDs adhering to different approaches. Consequently, Michelle believes that the patient is left out of the equation. Using a holistic approach, Michelle empowers each client to become their own expert on their own body.
In this episode, Michelle shares her journey to becoming an integrative/functional dietitian, describes functional medicine, and discusses the importance of language and mindset in healing.
Key Highlights:
- What does it look like to bridge the gap with dietitians? Michelle shares her story
- Deficiencies in chronic illness treatment within our highly specialized medical system
- What is functional medicine? What is the difference between an integrated, functional, and alternative/holistic practitioner?
- Do functional doctors have the same training as conventional doctors?
- Michelle explains Wellness Map, which she created to improve access and affordability of integrative care
- Is integrative/functional medicine covered by insurance?
- Options for accessing care
- The importance of self-talk and intentional language
- Body positivity's flaws and how nutrition science can help
- Rather than treating symptoms, target the underlying cause

Many people, especially women, are constantly striving to change their bodies, seeing their bodies as ongoing projects. It is fine to have body goals like losing weight or gaining muscle, but the problem comes when we impose restrictive diets and unpleasant exercises on our bodies. These are aggressive methods that cannot be sustained. According to Nina Manolson, our podcast guest for today, this type of behavior is antagonistic to the body.
Nina developed an antagonistic relationship with her body at the age of nine, and once she healed that relationship, she made it her life’s work to help women develop trusting and respectful relationships with their bodies. Nina's work is called Body-Peace because she helps her clients gain peace with their bodies. Nina focuses on helping people cultivate supportive relationships with their bodies through compassion.
Nina suggests that whenever you feel broken or as though your body is causing you problems, take a step back and realize that the problem isn't you or your body but rather the relationship you have with it. The negative self-talk and restrictions many women subject themselves to in an effort to achieve the body they think they need are often what keep them on a diet roller coaster.
In this episode, we discuss how to shift your mindset about your body to be in support of it instead of against it, how to begin making sustainable changes that will help you feel at peace with your body and your food, and how to dig deeper to understand why you may want to change your body in the first place. Nina will even share some of her poems about body peace.
Key Highlights:
- The relationship we have with our bodies should be allied rather than antagonistic
- Being at war with one’s body is a symptom of not feeling like enough
- Nina shares some of her poems about body peace
- Nina's advice for anyone struggling with body shame or having difficulty living in their body
- Dissatisfaction with your body is not a weight issue, it's a relationship issue
- Prioritizing pleasure in movement: Start with what you love
- Losing weight while being in an allied relationship with your body
- Wearing clothes that make you feel bad fosters an aggressive relationship with your body
- It is okay to grieve as we age and change
- Health markers to pay attention to that are more scientific than the number on the scale

Many people, especially women, are constantly striving to change their bodies, seeing their bodies as ongoing projects. It is fine to have body goals like losing weight or gaining muscle, but the problem comes when we impose restrictive diets and unpleasant exercises on our bodies. These are aggressive methods that cannot be sustained. According to Nina Manolson, our podcast guest for today, this type of behavior is antagonistic to the body.
Nina developed an antagonistic relationship with her body at the age of nine, and once she healed that relationship, she made it her life’s work to help women develop trusting and respectful relationships with their bodies. Nina's work is called Body-Peace because she helps her clients gain peace with their bodies. Nina focuses on helping people cultivate supportive relationships with their bodies through compassion.
Nina suggests that whenever you feel broken or as though your body is causing you problems, take a step back and realize that the problem isn't you or your body but rather the relationship you have with it. The negative self-talk and restrictions many women subject themselves to in an effort to achieve the body they think they need are often what keep them on a diet roller coaster.
In this episode, we discuss how to shift your mindset about your body to be in support of it instead of against it, how to begin making sustainable changes that will help you feel at peace with your body and your food, and how to dig deeper to understand why you may want to change your body in the first place. Nina will even share some of her poems about body peace.
Key Highlights:
- The relationship we have with our bodies should be allied rather than antagonistic
- Being at war with one’s body is a symptom of not feeling like enough
- Nina shares some of her poems about body peace
- Nina's advice for anyone struggling with body shame or having difficulty living in their body
- Dissatisfaction with your body is not a weight issue, it's a relationship issue
- Prioritizing pleasure in movement: Start with what you love
- Losing weight while being in an allied relationship with your body
- Wearing clothes that make you feel bad fosters an aggressive relationship with your body
- It is okay to grieve as we age and change
- Health markers to pay attention to that are more scientific than the number on the scale

It is so important for us to distinguish between the truth and the false stories we have created in our head. Those stories can lead us to talk very negatively to ourselves and constantly put ourselves down by thinking that we aren’t good enough, or are not doing enough. It is about time we ditch that negative self talk track we tend to play in our brains, and learn how to have compassion for ourselves. This episode is a follow up to Amber’s previous solo episode 119 in which she dove into a topic that came up in one of her coaching sessions. In this episode, Amber covers the topic of learning to love yourself for who you are without having your happiness tied to external and variable things.
Our upbringing plays a huge role in the thought patterns that we carry into adulthood, even if we don’t feel as though we have major traumas or events in our lives that would impact us so significantly. Being bullied as a child, or having someone make a comment about our size can become imprinted on us and without realizing it, we store those thoughts and ideas and let them dictate how we feel about ourselves. It is time we stop doing that and become aware of the fact that these negative thoughts about ourselves are not serving us.
Happiness is an inside job, so the key is to become aware of how we talk to ourselves, discover the origin of the way we feel about ourselves, and have compassion for the younger version of us that was shaped by events in our life. Then, we have to untie our happiness from any external factors such as our weight, other people, or anything else that isn’t who we are inside, which is a badass mama that deserves to feel amazing in her skin.
Key Highlights
- Amber’s recap of a recent coaching session she had in which a client told her she was struggling with negative self-talk while trying on new clothes
- How our childhood shapes our thoughts as adults
- If your happiness is tied to something external, such as your weight, you will never feel it is enough
- Knowing the origin story of your negative self talk, gives you compassion for your younger self

A successful weight loss journey doesn’t start with a list of things to do and not do. As with any goal worth pursuing, it really all starts with your mindset going into the journey: Where are you now and what has been stopping you from getting to the next level?
By getting clear about your weaknesses, you can put together the right strategy to help you fill those gaps.
This is a powerful concept, though sadly foreign to many of us. Most people want that immediate gratification. They’re not willing to do the work of building a strong foundation. But this is exactly the piece that separates those who enjoy their rewards for the long haul from those who fall back into old habits sooner or later.
Unfortunately, diet culture doesn’t focus on getting to the root cause of what’s holding us back from reaching our goals. Instead of working on healing our relationship with food, we’re told to impose a bunch of restrictions on what, when, and how much to eat.
But as today’s guest explains, a little bit of delayed gratification goes a long way. Change is always tough, but if it means breaking a vicious cycle of unhealthy habits and transforming your health and wellness for the better, it’s absolutely worth trying something new!
Listen in and learn how to go from reactive to proactive by taming your primitive brain and tapping more intentionally into your prodigy brain, the four basics of sustainable weight loss (which form the acronym SELF), and how to become content with giving up alcohol!
Key Highlights
- Reverse-architecting your mind to set yourself free of what holds you back
- The four basics of sustainable weight loss
- How weight loss can lead to professional growth
- Quitting alcohol for good

There is often a much deeper reason for wanting to achieve a certain number on the scale or a certain size in jeans. Our society is accustomed to externalizing our value to things like a weight or size goal, but this often results in constant dieting or an even worse relationship with food. This is especially common among women, and we learn these habits early from society and how we were raised.
It's fine to set goals, but on this podcast, our focus is sustainability, food freedom, and healing from the inside out. If you are internally driven to get into shape or reach any other goal, the lifestyle you'll need to adopt in order to reach that goal will be healthier, and you'll be much more likely to stay committed to it.
If you want to lose 30 pounds, ask yourself, why do I want to lose 30 pounds? Perhaps you want to feel better. Next, ask yourself, why do I want to feel better? It may be that you will be able to show up for your family better. By drilling down your goals like this, you will eventually reach the true reason for what you are trying to accomplish. It is much more powerful to understand the real reason why you are doing what you are doing than relying on a hollow number on the scale. Clarity and a deeper understanding of your core desire will keep you focused. This is why all of Amber's programs begin with clarifying your core desires, understanding your true intention, and getting clear on what your end game is.
Amber's 2-Day free event on November 15th and 16th is the perfect place to start if you would like to do the work of healing from the inside out and having food freedom that is effortless and sustainable. The link to sign up for this event can be found below.

Having physical discomfort and not knowing what your condition is after several test results can be frustrating. In our guest's line of work, he focuses on treating people with physical conditions that may not be immediately obvious. Rather than treating symptoms and taking medications, he takes a holistic approach and addresses the root of the problem.
Dr. Abhi Gautam, an anesthesiologist and entrepreneur, joins Amber on the podcast today. Dr. Gautam is co-founder of Vitruvia™ and pioneer of the revolutionary RELIEF® procedure that has helped top performers and athletes increase their mobility and restore their bodies to pre-injury state with little to no recovery time. Dr. Gautam has worked with many high profile clients such as Tony Robbins, Miguel Cabrera, and David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
In order to prevent pain from occurring in the first place, Dr. Gautam believes that a strong mind-body connection is essential. His analogy is that our bodies are like cars. If you ignore your car’s check engine light long enough, something really bad will eventually happen. When we do not take a moment to breathe, close our eyes, and find quiet time to be introspective, the same thing happens to our bodies. Dr. Gautam argues that despite the divine and mysterious nature of our bodies, they work within a logical framework or schema that identifies us as one human species. According to Dr. Gautam, it's important to trust your body more than what you read or hear about health, but we must first learn to investigate what's happening internally.
During this interview, Dr. Gautam will discuss human anatomy, connective tissue restoration, and how to connect to our bodies. In addition, he will talk about the latest injury prevention techniques as well as the technologies Vitruvia has developed to help those suffering from existing conditions recover and return to their favorite activities as quickly as possible.
Key Highlights:
- The best way to prevent injury and care for our bodies before and after exercise
- The effects of pregnancy on joints and existing injuries over the long term
- The importance of listening to what your body is telling you
- Gautam explains how non-surgical treatment for joint and tissue problems can relieve pain without downtime.
- How can we prevent the need for pain treatment? Dr. Gautam’s thoughts on foam rolling, yoga, pilates, stretching, and active release
- Gautam's observations of what causes pain and misalignment
- The importance of mind-body connection and how to begin to notice your body's small signals and symptoms
- Making time for self-love and taking care of yourself as much as you care for others
- How RELIEF® works and how to determine whether you qualify

In what areas of your life do you feel confident? Maybe it’s at work, after you’ve exercised or when you put on a certain outfit. One of Amber’s clients recently told her that she never feels very good in her body because she wears scrubs all the time and feels she does not look good in anything else she wears. Does this dilemma sound familiar to you? There are many women who can relate, but this feeling of not having confidence doesn't have to be your reality. In this episode of Amber's podcast, she shares two strategies you can use to start embodying your future higher self and showing up more confidently today.
Amber discusses where confidence comes from, how to create unbreakable confidence, and how to embody the future self you desire. We've talked about mindset goals repeatedly on this podcast. Making those goals and accomplishing them will lead to life transformations. In a later exchange with Amber, the client we just mentioned told Amber that one day she decided to wear a cute outfit at home. She was with the kids and had nowhere to go, but she still put on the outfit because she paused to ask herself: What would future me do? As a result, Amber’s client reported that she felt much better. This proves that through interrupting our negative self-talk and taking small steps towards what we envision in our life, we can embody our truest selves.
If you choose to embrace your future self starting from where you are right now, by adopting the lifestyle, habits, and mentality of your future self, a higher version of yourself will emerge.
Amber's program focuses on the same things discussed in today's podcast: embodying one's future self and creating unbreakable radical confidence. She will help them identify what will make them feel more confident, reprogram damaging subconscious thoughts, and identify things that they can incorporate into their lives to help them achieve their goals.
Amber would love to hear your thoughts. Send Amber a message on Instagram if this episode resonated with you. Find Amber’s social media links, the link to join her FREE 2-day event November 15-16, and resources mentioned in this episode below.

Joining Amber on the podcast today is Krishna Avalon, a subconscious transformation coach, and acupuncturist who has guided over 24,000 clients to transform their subconscious minds to become their best, most empowered selves. Krishna's expertise and work perfectly aligns with the mission and vision of this show, which is to equip women with what they need to be their most empowered selves. In this episode, Krishna will delve into why the subconscious is the place to start when seeking sustainable change as well as why the conscious and subconscious must work together.
Ninety to ninety-five percent of the experiences in our lives are created by the subconscious, which is where our thoughts, memories, and habits are stored, yet the subconscious is still not prioritized much in mental health. Many of us hold subconscious beliefs that sabotage our progress, and Krishna argues that the most effective way to transform our lives is to learn tools that will help us work with our subconscious.
Krishna is trained in Psych-K (or subconscious transformation), a practice that works with neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change. In addition to helping you identify core beliefs in the body, subconscious transformation can reveal where you are stuck and what parts of you need nurturing, detachment, and balance. This might help those who feel stuck, find themselves repeating the same patterns, need a little extra help trusting themselves, or just want to feel more joyful and present. By healing these parts of ourselves, we are able to show up authentically and fully in the world.
If you are feeling stuck or overly burdened despite knowing what you should be doing, addressing your subconscious mind could be a game changer. This episode will teach you more about this extremely effective method of healing and encourage you to think about ways in which you can further develop and grow.
Key Highlights:
- What led Krishna to pursue a career in healing
- What is the difference between subconscious transformation and talk therapy?
- How are our conscious and subconscious minds different?
- How do people know if they are a good candidate for subconscious transformation?
- There is a vibration and a frequency to everything in life.
- Krishna shares the most effective methods she has used to build her business.
- Krishna shares how she coaches her clients who possess more masculine energy to let go and become more open to receiving
- Lasting changes can only occur when you are in a place of worthiness and self-love
- Neuroplasticity: You can create beliefs, which means you can create new perceptions and pathways in the mind that lead to new experiences.
- How a Psych-K session works, who this type of treatment can benefit, and how to select a practitioner

If you were to eat in a way that effortlessly fit your lifestyle and your health goals, what would it look like? What are the stories you’ve created about what is necessary for you to be healthy and meet your fitness goals? Has it been effortless, obtainable, and supportive of your lifestyle? The purpose of this episode is to discuss these important questions we should all be thinking about when choosing our food and our habits.
In this episode, Amber discusses a client who is having trouble cooking healthy meals for herself as well as for her family. Amber encourages her client to dig deeper into why she feels she must eat so differently from her family and urges her to consider how the foods she cooks for her family can be adapted to be suitable for herself as well.
Food doesn't have any morality—there are no "good" and "bad" foods. You may be approaching your food in an unsustainable manner if you think getting healthy or losing weight means that you have to eat diet food and your family gets to eat food that is off-limits to you. Instead of focusing on foods you think you should eat, find the foods you like that work for your family and adjust them as needed to be nutritious, healthy, and enjoyable. Ideally, a healthy diet should consist of foods that we enjoy eating, which satisfy us, and aren't difficult to prepare.
You can start to build a sustainable relationship with food by asking yourself questions like: What would make my meals more satisfying? How do I want to feel throughout the day? Do my food habits reflect my values, goals, and how I want to show up in my life?

With a PhD in neuroscience, Dr. Dalton uses his knowledge of metabolic health and fitness to help people achieve better habits and behaviors, ultimately resulting in a better quality of life that is simple to maintain and sustainable. Dr. Dalton asserts that sustainable change requires behavioral changes.
There is so much more to metabolism than just weight loss–it affects our overall health. Research has demonstrated that people become sick and unhealthy because of metabolic dysfunction caused by their habits and behaviors. There is no doubt that people feel better when their metabolisms are working properly. One way to achieve a healthier metabolism is by intuitive fasting.
The idea behind intuitive fasting is that it tunes up your metabolism and makes you feel more connected to your body. We often respond to habitual cravings rather than our true hunger, but Dr. Dalton says we can better access our hunger signals and get back in touch with our appetite by listening to what our bodies ask for and observing how they respond to what we put in them.
If you have found yourself yo-yo dieting and falling into the mindset that you have to fix everything at once by implementing a perfect lifestyle that never seems to work for very long, this episode will give you valuable insight into why that approach hasn't been working for you. Dr. Dalton believes we should understand why we eat, rely less on the scale for body health information, and shift our focus to behavioral changes.
Key Highlights:
- Defining metabolic health and metabolic fitness
- Temper for intuitive fasting
- The difference between intuitive fasting and intermittent fasting
- Prioritizing inputs over outputs is crucial
- Why calories are not an accurate reflection of whether you are giving your body what it needs
- How and why is it effective for long term health and behavior change?
- Nutrition in intermittent fasting
- The benefits of intermittent fasting for women
- The difference between hunger and cravings, and how to tell the difference

This episode features Amber discussing one of her favorite snacks by Paleovalley which are perfect for on-the-go snacking. It is often difficult to find healthy snacks that will give us energy and provide our bodies with nutrients without leaving us feeling like we have consumed something that does nothing for us but leaves us craving more. Getting snacks is easy, but finding healthy, portable snacks free of preservatives, additives, and harmful chemicals is more challenging. There are many more grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores that sell chips and candy bars than places where you can get something nutritious on the go. Despite the fact that we have come a long way with healthy-ish options catering to different diets, including vegan, paleo, and gluten-free, many snacks still use these enticing buzzwords to trick us into thinking they are healthy, when in fact they are supplying our bodies with little nutrition.
Enter Paleovalley snacks, a company focused on making nutrient dense snacks with impressive nutritional profiles, like their superfood bars made from grass-fed bone broth protein and other real food ingredients. Amber has tried these and can vouch for their deliciousness and nutritional value.
As you may already know, our bodies benefit greatly from getting adequate protein. If your normal diet does not provide enough protein or you need something you can carry with you at all times, Paleovalley's Superfood bar is a great option. This is especially true for women over 40 years old who are often not eating enough. In addition to the clean ingredients and protein, the bars contain collagen and hyaluronic acid, both of which are excellent for the skin.
The benefits of Paleovalley snack bars include their high protein content from bone broth and low calorie content. Protein keeps you fuller for longer periods of time, curbs your cravings, and may reduce the hunger hormone, ghrelin. Additionally, supplementing your protein could help you recover from a metabolic crash midday.
The consumption of bone broth protein could even slow down the aging of the skin, reduce joint pain, and reduce inflammation. The amino acids glycine and glutamine found in bone broth have anti-inflammatory properties and keep free radicals from damaging cells. Protein from bone broth may also help you sleep better and protect you against Leaky Gut Syndrome.
While there is no magic food that can help you lose weight, fix your gut, or make your skin glow on its own, supplementing your good health habits with nutritional supplements like bone broth protein can certainly make a powerful difference alongside your already existing health regimen.

As a result of the pandemic as well as prior to it, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse have increased, and it is vital that people, especially women, talk openly about these topics so that we can live a meaningful life free of shame around our emotions.
In this episode, Jesse Finkelstein, PsyM, joins the podcast to have an open dialogue about mental health, including how we can understand our emotions, what to do when we are feeling hard emotions, and how we are all constantly changing.
Jesse discusses the issues he sees with the mental health community regarding its treatment of women and the lack of accessibility to effective mental health care. He also shares some of his expertise on how we can better manage our emotions through utilizing Dialectical Behavioral Therapy techniques, including mindfulness.
Key highlights
- Jesse talks about how the mental health community and society views women and the ways in which womens’ experiences are pathologized, leading most women to feel shame around the topic.
- All of our emotions are valid, and we do ourselves a disservice when we try to tell ourselves we shouldn’t feel something. Jesse discusses how important it is to look at our emotions without judgment.
- Emotional suppression is not sustainable and is a waste of internal resources. Denying and invalidating our emotions furthers us from our goals.
- Jesse shares the most powerful thing you can do when you are feeling hard emotions.
- Give yourself some grace. Everyone is doing the best they can with what they know and the tools they have.
- How do DBT skills apply to partnerships? How should we respond when our partner or loved one is having intense emotions?
- Jesse shares the three interpersonal effectiveness skills involved in DBT
- The importance of identifying what dysregulation in emotions looks like for you and being aware of when you are becoming dysregulated. Jesse also talks about how to get through intense dysregulation without making the situation worse.
- How Jesse helps his clients tap into their voice. He explains what practicing mindfulness looks like and how to do it.
- It is a fact that our brains are malleable and changeable. We can always do better.
Powerful Quotes
"The foundation of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is mindfulness. It is very hard to know if you are at an 8 or if you’re at a 6 if you are not mindful of your experience."
"You can practice mindfulness when you are washing your dishes. You can practice it as you’re walking down the street. Mindfulness is not necessarily about relaxation. It is really training your brain to be present. The more present we are, the more skillful we can be in other areas of our life."
"It takes time and practice, and our brains are malleable. We can, with effort, and by changing habit, rewire our neurons to engage in a more meaningful life. This is not impossible. We have the flexibility."

Are you doing all the things all day, every day, but feel like you’re going nowhere? If so, here’s the harsh reality: There’s a big difference between being productive and simply being busy. This episode is all about learning to embrace a crucial yet often disregarded virtue if we want to see real growth in life and in business: That virtue is balance.
It’s easy to think multitasking makes us more productive. But the truth is, that tendency to jump from one thing to another at breakneck speed is the very thing holding us back. It’s the reason we feel so stretched thin at best—and suffering burnout at worst. If this sounds like you, it’s time to put everything on hold, sit back, and reflect.
Listen in and learn how you can take stock of your goals and make sure that you’re investing the biggest chunk of your time into the few things that matter, and not everything at once. It’s vital to get clear on this because it’s the single most important step to ensuring that how we spend our days aligns with our vision of our future self!
Key Highlights
- Finding alignment between what you’re doing now and who you want to be
- Getting unstuck and moving past burnout
- Knowing what to give up in order to live your ideal vision for life

Presenting in a more soft and gentle way, Trish brings all things femininity, medicine, and spirituality to the table in an unapologetic way. Bridging the gap between holistic health and energetics and spirituality, Trish goes beyond the world of diet and nutrition. Bringing in the elements of intuition and heart opening, she guides her clients along their paths to gain peace.
According to Trish, building your foundation starts with cultivating awareness. To begin, she says that the key to a healing journey is cultivating accountability, responsibility, and practicing non judgment for those things. Follow up by asking yourself, “how do I feel about this?” and “how have I perpetuated suffering for other people?”. The more you practice this and build up your awareness, the health benefits will present themselves. Once your physical body is prepared for the mindset you have cultivated, then you can stop returning to old habits that continue those unhealthy cycles.
Women can struggle with always being the “yes woman” and constantly pouring into others without pouring into themselves. Sometimes women can also fall into societal expectations and wear too many hats feeling bitter, resentful, non-purposeful, etc. Or they may feel hyper independent or against men. There’s also women who feel suppressed and disconnected from themselves, lacking confidence in life. Can you relate to any of these? When it comes to boundaries, women have a hard time expressing it due to oppression, lack of trust, uncertainty, etc. Start asking yourself, “how do I set a boundary and love you while still loving myself?”
Today’s episode is full of enlightening truths for all women of all walks of life. If you find yourself struggling with setting boundaries or if you are searching for practical insight on how to approach situations where boundaries are completely necessary, then you will not want to miss this amazing time with Trish!
Key Highlights
- Setting boundaries
- Health and wellness and the impact on spirituality
- Awareness
- Connecting spiritual and mental health to physical health
- Shifting alignment to awareness of yourself and who you are

Are you the type to down a few glasses of wine in the evening? Or maybe even the occasional full bottle depending on the amount of stress from the day? For some, it’s part of a routine of decompressing after work. Maybe just a glass while cooking dinner, then another during dinner, then a few more afterwards. What about after that glass is empty and it’s time to hit the hay? Have you ever considered the impact “wine down Wednesdays'' might be having on your sleep quality?

If you’re ready and willing to receive and discover a creative space for yourself, you’re not going to want to miss today’s show! To kick off this episode, Kim shares her story and how she got her start through art. Specifically, she started drawing at a young age and it has carried through to adulthood. After studying art through college and leaving NYC for Philadelphia, she turned open-mindedly and open-heartedly to yoga, mantra, movement, and breathwork. At the same time, she started to draw her tarot deck and delved into the symbols and the mystique of the deck which has led her to where she is now.
Kim and Amber go on to discuss what tarot cards are and how they work. Kim explains how tarot cards are connected to other symbols and images across history. She goes on to explain the cards’ appearance. The deck is made of 78 cards, there’s an image and a word underneath at the bottom. There are four suites, and there’s the major arcana which are the big themes in one’s life. Ex: death card, sun card, temperance card, etc. She says the tarot cards pair image with concept and this stimulates the mind and psyche. This gives one the tools to know what to do and make things happen.
Kim and Amber go on to discuss how alchemy and the tarot cards connect and can be helpful and meaningful in one’s healing journey. They each explore and explain how going through painful experiences in their lives and how the tarot cards helped them and can help others get through hard times such as theirs. Kim goes on to share her creative process and expands on what it looks like for her. Her drawing practice is a part of her everyday life and is integrated into her daily routines. She shares with listeners that instead of “doing” creativity, she believes if you move your body followed by relaxation, so many ideas can come to mind. Have a pen or pencil on hand, get out of your own way, and get it on paper once it comes to mind and becomes accessible.

How many times do you hit the snooze button in the morning? Which excuses do you make to cancel that workout? Skip the weekly meal prep? If you’re anything like the average human being, it probably feels easier to give in to temptations such as these than it is to power through and make shit happen! This is exactly what it means to rely on our feelings and that is what keeps us stuck or in a vicious cycle.
On those days when you are feeling like you just don’t want to do it, ask yourself, how do you want to show up in the world? What would your future version of yourself do? Let this dictate your actions instead of your constantly changing feelings. If you’re stuck here, you are living in lifestyle 1.0. For example, if you’re in a cycle of dieting and struggling with consistency, you are still operating from lifestyle 1.0. It’s typically just a symptom and not the root cause, which can be the mindset you’re living in. Instead of a growth mindset, you are living in a fixed mindset.
If you’re ready to get out of the cycle of relying on your feelings, then get ready to shift your mindset and get honest with yourself. If you’re willing to commit and follow through, then you will be able to create confidence and build momentum and keep up with your change and show up for yourself. The key to living in a growth mindset, is to show the hell up! Make some small changes and focus on these in order to build bigger, long-haul changes. If you are in need of a fire lit under your ass, then you better listen to this episode!
Key Highlights
- Making excuses based on feelings
- Changing your mindset from fixed to growth
- Showing up for yourself and simple steps to make it happen

Eastern cultures and religions have utilized psychedelics for thousands of years for medicinal purposes. On today’s episode, Amber talks with Dorna Pourang about why the use of psychedelics is gaining so much attention and popularity. However, there is still a lot of stigma surrounding this topic due to a lack of education.
The use of psychedelics requires a lot of pre-work and preparation that goes into these therapies. In addition, Dorna discusses the studies and research currently underway to provide a safe and legal experience for patients. She also explains the major difference between assisted professional administration of these medications and recreational use. There are several states in the process of decriminalizing the use of psychedelics and making it accessible for mental health stability and quality.
Lastly, Amber and Dorna dive into how psychedelics teach you to process and regulate feelings of sadness and negativity and learn how to work with it. The society we live in today has programmed us to automatically make it seem like we are always “ok”. However, it’s beneficial to accept the space you’re in and to learn to move through life with those experiences.

However, it is essential to find your joy in order to have a healthy balance. Not to be confused with just being busy, finding your joy differs from “busy” in that it requires you to look within and explore and challenge yourself in finding ways to bring on all the happiness in your life.

She encourages others to find something that is just for you, easily accessible, and something you don’t have to rely on someone else for. Being happy is a choice, but it’s also deciphering what action you take to cultivate it for yourself. So what are you doing to bring joy into your life mama?
Key Highlights
-
Instead of staying stuck in the mundane or the craziness of life, take up a new activity in finding your joy
-
Allow yourself the time and energy to rediscover your unique passions

According to a research study, 78% of women experience brain fog in the workplace during menopause. This is the catalyst for the opening discussion on whether or not there should be accommodations provided for women experiencing menopause in the workforce. Where is the balance between special exceptions and education for women who are transitioning through major seasons in life? Douglas, Dr. Philippe, and Stacey each bring different perspectives to the table and discuss the major shifts and changes that need to be made in our society in regard to the way we work before this can be addressed.
Bringing attention to the natural aging process, today’s guests dissect the different things both women and men deal with and how we can better understand these changes. Women experiencing perimenopause and menopause are not the only ones! Men are experiencing changes in their life as well due to low testosterone from the aging process. They discuss the need for awareness on both sides of the fence within the workplace specifically.
Later, Amber explores with Stacey the topic of women over 40 and the opportunity they have to define and redefine who they are (this includes men!). Up until this point, most women are wondering, “what should I be doing?”. However, once hitting 40, the question changes to “what do I really want? What brings me joy?”. Stacey encourages women 40 and over to strive for being in their best shape mentally and physically, instead of accepting the idea they’re an old lady at age 40. Dr. Philippe and Doug further the conversation by bringing a male perspective as well as professional and highlight the importance of truly taking care of health and wellness in the years before and during menopause.
Today’s episode is full of insight from different perspectives to help shift your view on work-life balance, health and wellness, nutrition, the differences in men’s and women’s aging process, and body image. If you’ve been wanting to grow your knowledge on the aging process, the mind-body connection, or become more in tune with your stage in aging, then you won’t want to miss this discussion!
Key Highlights
- Menopause and pregnancy in the workplace
- Women and men over 40 age differently, but there are some similarities to look into
- Embracing the aging process and understanding how to choose your health over the rat race our culture sells as “success”

Today Amber discusses something that plagues so many women over 40, and that is emotional eating. She breaks down the two most common reasons why women have a hard time staying consistent with their nutrition. The first is that you may have a problem with falling off the wagon time and time again. You can’t stay consistent when you get so caught up in staying perfect and adhering to unrealistic rules. This sets you up for failure because diets were never meant for the long term! The second is fixating on nutrition and fitness. This doesn’t mean forgetting those things, but doing nothing to change habits, emotions, changing limiting beliefs, etc., won’t help you to maintain who you want to become. When there’s no foundation to maintain the goals you’ve reached, and life gets in the way, you fall right back off the wagon again.
Amber focuses on emotional eating and what it looks like and the reasons behind it. Foods can be comforting and can be associated with fond memories. She goes on to explain that there are different levels of emotional eating and some can be ok at times while others can have a major negative impact on the body. More important than the frequency or the amount of eating, ask yourself what the intention is behind the emotional eating?
Amber shares her tips to begin implementing change into your eating habits and get in the right direction. Look at the origin story. Where did this come from? Can I understand it enough to forgive myself? Being aware and forgiving yourself for your mistakes is crucial to progress. Second, discern whether you are emotionally eating or if you are actually hungry. Before reaching for an unhealthy snack, take the “hunger” out of it and eat a healthy snack so you can evaluate your emotions. Lastly, use simple coping mechanisms such as breathing, meditation, friends to call or talk to, playlists of songs that pump you up, etc. Tune in for more on these tips on how to take control of your eating habits!
Key Highlights:
- Emotional eating when you aren’t actually hungry
- The importance of finding the intention behind emotional eating
- No diets will work because they don’t address the main issue at hand

Sleep is KING! As we age and our hormones shift, sleep is something that can suffer. There are lots of quick fixes, but in the long-term, they aren’t a sustainable solution. Today’s guest, Julien Jagtenberg is sharing some killer and innovative technology that can help improve your sleep through breath. He also brings us tips and tricks to help lead you to better sleep quality.
Drawing inspiration from his own mother’s battle with sleep deprivation, Julian wanted to find a natural solution for her. This is how he found the power of breathing to help his mom’s sleep quality and many others with their sleep deprivation.
Julian delves into how sleep is the key to health. Many of the health issues we see today are due to lack of sleep and poor sleep quality. We tend to obsess over exercise, weight loss, and many people struggle with mental health and it can all be tied to lack of sleep. However, we can build our health up and use the best medicine to heal our bodies, and that is good quality sleep.
Why do the latest and greatest sleep gadgets not work? Well, that’s because restlessness (stress, and anxiety) is the root cause of most sleep issues. Julian read about the effects of holding a baby on your chest and the subconscious mimicking of the breathing pattern of the baby and how it can help calm the nervous system. This is how his concept of the breath being the key component of his development of somnox. Many of the trackers we use at home are not always accurate and just confirm and reinforce our poor sleep quality and this doesn’t help. In fact, it can worsen sleep deprivation from more stress and anxiety. These trackers don’t help us solve the problem of poor sleep quality!
According to Julian, the better way and the more holistic approach to measure your sleep hygiene is going to be asking yourself how you feel when you wake up in the morning. It’s time to look at what we can do to make ourselves feel better with tangible tools. That means making sure to establish a sleep ritual (going into sleep mode), using breath-work exercises, writing thoughts down and getting them on paper before going to sleep. Somnox can assist in the breathwork piece of your sleep ritual and can help you improve your overall health.
Key Highlights
- How Somnox was born from Julian’s mother’s own sleep deprivation
- Many of the health issues plaguing the US can be caused by poor sleep quality
- The ineffectiveness of sleep trackers and why they don’t offer solutions
- Melatonin and the dangers of taking these supplements
- The misleading idea that alcohol can help you go to sleep faster
- Somnox and how it works by utilizing breathwork that can support good sleep

In this episode, Amber’s guest is the first Architectural Designer to be on The Wellness Revolution podcast! James Stanley brings a unique perspective to his clients through his weaving of spirituality and Zen into his work. Amber’s discussion with James begins with his childhood and growing up in southern California watching his mother expand her business into an empire. As a child and an adolescent, James was fascinated by many different religions. As he entered his 20s, he helped his mother in her business but felt a longing for many years to connect to a higher power. He moved from California to Miami where he encountered a life-changing moment and began studying Egyptian Kabbalah.
With his degrees in Engineering, as well as Interior and Architectural Design, James left Miami and headed to New York City. He started his design career through an agency in 2000. After working for an event company for five years, James decided to open James Stanley Designs. He connected with his first client through a friend and designed his first project. James believes it was through this first client who let him express himself that led to him building his own business.
James and Amber continue to deep-dive into the meaning of Zen and how to find internal peace and happiness in life. They discuss how to hold on loosely to material things and be aware of that attachment in order to be content with your life’s path. Their conversation goes on to connect these principles to creating space in the home for a Zen room or space and how to do this in a practical and budget-friendly way. Amber goes on to discuss with James about meditation and how to connect it to creating a room conducive to that practice. They also delve into the difference between thoughts and meditation and how to grow in deciphering between the two. James and Amber’s personal experiences and backgrounds in meditation lead them to talk about some of the obstacles that can come up during the journey into meditation.
Tune in to hear more of James’ practical advice on how to create a Zen space that is based on your own unique style and tastes, from music and scents to colors and textures.

In this episode, Amber shares great tips on how to shift your mindset and finally break up with the scale and not let the 3-digit number dictate how you will feel for the rest of the day. It’s really interesting how the number on the scale can impact the emotional estate of those looking for fat loss goals. Suddenly, your weight is no longer data to analyze; it becomes a piece of evidence that you’re not working hard enough, right?
What most people don’t know, however, is that the number on the scale can be influenced by many and many variables: if you had a good night of sleep, if you had enough water the day before, if you had an intense workout that morning, if you are fasted of had a big meal moments before. All of these factors impact your weight at that specific moment.
So, why do we feel so ‘emotionally hijacked’ by the scale to the point that it can influence our self-worth and self-image?
For many years the scale has been a symbol for both fat loss and muscle gain goals. But other aspects – non-scale aspects – can also tell if you are succeeding: your clothes fit differently, you’re looking different in the mirror, people are noticing changes, etc.
Not to mention the specifics of fat loss vs. weight loss. There’s a thing called body recomposition that can help explain why the number on the scale is not going down (you might be changing fat for muscle mass). Tune in to listen to the whole episode and learn how to quit the scale obsession!
Key Highlights
- Why do we let the number on the scale dictate our self-worth? During your fat loss goal, it’s more than important to break up with the scale instead of being obsessed about it;
- For many years traditional medicine has been using the scale to provide data (health markers) for patients. The problem is that the scale has no longer become data and is now a tool for self-sabotage;
- Once you let the scale go, start celebrating your non-scale victories (there are many of them), and start dissociating your emotion with it, your life improves;
- Allow yourself to check in with yourself instead of letting an external circumstance (the scale) tell you that;
- Ask yourself: “Why do these numbers are so important to me?”

Roy Biancalana is a certified relationship coach and expert in the field of attracting love. Host of The Attracting Lasting Love Podcast, today Roy talks about all things relationships, how to have a healthy dynamic with your partner, and how to take responsibility for the things that worked and the things that didn’t work during a relationship.
Amber and Roy also discuss the major role that our first ‘relationships’ have in our adult lives. The way we connected with our mother, father, and all the members of the family, was responsible for shaping our personality and has a huge impact on the way we interact with potential lovers. These personas that we create with time (our personality) are like pieces of a puzzle that are craving a match. Relationships come from this match.
Roy also highlights the law of attraction saying that it only works – we can only attract the kind of love we want – if we drop all the limiting beliefs around love that don’t serve us anymore.
Tune in to learn how to make your current relationship free from triggers of past relationships, how to attract the right type of partner, and how to find love even if love is having a hard time finding you.
Key Highlights
- Being responsible for our actions in the relationship is the first step to healing what needs to be healed with the partner;
- Not blaming the other person for everything is also a huge component of making things work out;
- We need to take into account that childhood patterns will have a big influence on the way we deal with love issues as an adult;
- Lessons and feelings from childhood impact our actions and behaviors today;
- Every couple’s dynamics are different and how they will influence the relationship also happen in different ways;
- Our personas are like pieces of a puzzle that need to find their match;
- Law of attraction can work for you but only if you do the work: being yourself and dropping all of the limiting beliefs;
- It’s important to be aware of potential triggers from former relationships that can come to the surface and impact your current relationship.

Yes! As human beings living in the chaotic modern society we live in, it’s pretty common to suffer from mild anxiety. The symptoms vary from individual to individual but feelings of unease, difficulty relaxing, and excessive worrying are the baseline. Morning anxiety, however, can make the rest of the day unbearable so that’s why it’s important to pay special attention to it.
In this episode, Amber talks about which tools have been helping her with her morning anxiety and which of these tools you can implement into your routine to combat your anxiety.
It’s important to be aware of how the body feels and give it what it needs, so all of these tips are adaptable. It’s also fundamental to understand a little deeper how anxiety is directly correlated to hormones. Cortisol, which is the stress hormone, plays a huge role in this.
Amber’s tips will help you cope with morning anxiety and handle daily stress better, but each person should know what strategies fit best in their lives. Tune in to learn more!
Key Highlights
- As we age, it’s important to have tools to recognize what’s going on with ourselves, and eventually, give the body what it needs;
- Cortisol is the stress hormone and melatonin can be considered the opposite of cortisol. Hormonal levels play a huge role in how the body is responding to daily situations;
- The night before is especially important to cope with morning anxiety. Settling down two hours before bed, reducing caffeine intake for the afternoon, and avoiding superficial light – like the one on your smartphone – are just a few of the measures you can take to have a better night of sleep.

Dr. Brooke Scheller is a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition, Certified Nutrition Specialist, and expert in nutrition for alcohol use by impacting gut and brain health. In this episode, she talks about how alcohol impacts the gut, our nutrition habits, and even the brain.
Alcohol consumption is such an individualized topic and is different for everybody. However, it’s fundamental to be conscious of the impacts alcohol use – for short or long periods – can cause on the body. Every organism is unique but alcohol has the power of influencing all of the other systems in the body.
Sometimes alcohol needs to be eliminated for the good of all the other body functions, but most people don’t know this. Vitamin and nutrient deficiency is also a victim of consuming too much alcohol, which in parallel can cause mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Dr. Brooke also explains the connection between alcohol consumption and gut health.
In your case, what triggers the act of drinking alcohol? It’s important to be aware of all the moments – parties, dinners at the end of the week, moments of stress and anxiety – that might trigger the drinking. In addition, Dr. Brooke explains that nutrition habits can help with decreasing alcohol consumption. Tune in!
Key Highlights
- How do we change the relationship with alcohol? It’s important to be aware of all the moments throughout the week that triggers alcohol intake;
- With age, our body responds differently to alcohol. As young adults, we can get away with drinking for long hours on a Saturday night, but as we age this shifts;
- Alcohol is deeply connected with food intake: sometimes bad nutrition can cause an increase in drinking habits;
- Sometimes alcohol needs to be eliminated for the good of all the other body functions. It impacts blood sugar and gut health;
- Brooke explains that gut health plays a role in all systems of the body;
- Drinking can cause vitamins and nutrients deficiencies;
- Brooke shares some good practices when it comes to nutrition, highlighting that intermittent fasting is a tool but listening to the body is crucial.

In this episode, Amber talks about how to deal with and handle different types of grief. Whether it’s a relationship breakup, a divorce, or a death in the family, the grieving process can hit us hard. Our body does not differentiate pain so every trauma despite being different from one another, has similar effects on our behavior.
It’s also interesting to make a parallel between all these types of grief and the sense of loss we get from each one of them because we are indeed losing something (or someone) in our lives. There will be part of your life you will feel is missing, and that’s ok. One of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to allow ourselves to go through the process – as a way of healing.
The only way is through.
To help you handle these difficult times, Amber shares a few tools that will help ease your mind. Acknowledging and accepting grief are the main steps, Amber says, and it’s also important to remember that as time goes by, we all learn how to handle grief more easily. Tune in!
Key Highlights
- We can feel grief in many ways and from many situations. When we talk about breakups, some abandonment issues can come to the surface as well;
- Our body doesn’t differentiate pain; different traumas can cause similar reactions in the body and similar feelings of sadness;
- It’s normal to go through the grieving process as a way of healing. We need to allow ourselves to go through this process in our own time;
- As time goes by you respond to trauma with more grace;
- Amber shares a few tools that might help you deal with grief;
- One of the easiest ways to handle grief is coming up with a mantra. One of Amber’s favorites is that “we are exactly where we are supposed to be”.

In this episode, Amber interviews Ryan Haddon. Ryan is a Life and Spiritual Coach who is a master at helping people change their subconscious for good. Today, they talk about a variety of topics that are fundamental to understanding how our mind works and why the way we talk to ourselves matters.
Ryan explains that the foundation of her work is passing the knowledge she acquired throughout the years to other women, helping and assisting them, creating a ‘golden chain’. So many women outsource their worth to their physical appearance and sometimes they end up forgetting that internal beauty is more essential than the external.
In addition, Ryan shares the importance of asking ourselves the question: ‘How am I today?’ and making an effort to feel good. Sometimes our thoughts indeed trick us into thinking something’s wrong, but that’s just the subconscious, Ryan explains. And to change the subconscious (it’s hard but it’s doable) we need to focus on some practices like meditation and affirmations to create that change day by day.
Amber and Ryan also talk about aging, some of the most important health hacks to feel good – and look good –, and what it means to have a ‘self-care’ moment. Tune in!
Key Highlights
- Ryan is an advocate of embodying self-love. Sharing a little bit about her background, she felt the need to love herself no matter what, even when all the tools she had failed her;
- Passing the knowledge to other women is one of the core values of Ryan’s work;
- The concept of integrity is different for everyone;
- Sometimes, for some of us, the inner voices in our heads pop up to make us believe something is wrong. What’s the solution? Don’t listen to them;
- Ryan explains that getting to know our higher self can happen in many ways. These inner guides are multiple and can help us at any given moment;
- Our thoughts are not always true, they come from the subconscious mind. That’s why it’s important to respond to some situations instead of reacting;
- Affirmation practices should start with a theme; creating a phrasing that connects with you it’s the first step.

In this episode, Amber talks about how important it is to stop overcomplicating nutrition and try to make everything easier. On our health journey, it’s really easy to pay attention to a lot of coaches, mentors, and influencers – especially on social media – and be bombarded with an absurd amount of tips, rules, and nutrition information.
For that reason, you might have picked up all of them to finally stay on track and get results but the reality is you just made it more complicated. And it’s not your fault: the diet culture makes everything more complicated.
So, in this episode, Amber gives you an assignment: make a list of all the rules you think you need to follow to get results and cross out the ones that don’t matter, or that are too unimportant to be effective, or that are too small. We need to be paying attention to the big dial-movers when it comes to losing weight (the ones that make sense). So before quitting carbs after 7 p.m. or being obsessive about sodium intake, for example, ask yourself: Did I drink enough water today? Am I consuming enough protein and veggies?
This basic stuff is way more important than all the tips you gathered from other people alongside your journey. Being discerning about what’s important and what’s not is the first step to your health goals!
Key Highlights
- Being bombarded with so much information about nutrition can make the whole process more complicated than it is;
- When it comes to weight loss goals start with the basics and stop focusing on what doesn’t matter. This will increase your confidence and your daily consistency;
- Make an inventory of all the rules you follow to get results. Choose 3 Daily Nutritional Commitments (DNCs) to follow regularly. For example: stop being worried about supplements if you don’t drink enough water.
- If you’re having a hard time finding what’s important and what’s not, ask yourself: what makes sense?
- To follow your DNCs consistently, they need to be effortless, enjoyable, and effective.

In this episode, Amber sits down with actress Ari Zucker. She has been in the entertainment world for over 23 years and is widely known for her current role as Nicole Walker on the hit Daytime TV show Days of Our Lives.
Apart from her career in front of the camera, Ari is a creative mind coach, life coach, and positivity advocate—a new path she carved out for herself in 2019 right as the COVID-19 pandemic turned the world upside-down.
Today, Ari’s brainchild Aloha Life Coaching is dedicated to providing support and guidance to those who were mentally and emotionally impacted by the economic and cultural turbulence of the past couple of years.
Ari’s focus as a coach is on the gift of listening, absorbing information, and supporting clients with the tools to get to the root of HOW they can shift their mindset to a proactive way of living. “When we value change over our current situation, we begin to create the life we imagine.”
Listen in as Ari and Amber discuss the paradigm shifts that have to take place in order to regain control over your life.
They talk about the importance of taking personal accountability for your thoughts and actions, relaxing into what you desire, focusing not only on what you want but how you want to feel, and the right way to practice self-care.
Key Highlights
- It’s okay to fall off the wagon now and then, as long as you make the effort to get back on track.
- Your thoughts lead to feelings which lead to actions which lead to results. When you can understand how your body works, you will be able to process your thoughts much more effectively.
- Self-coaching and troubleshooting negativity in your life can be as simple as taking a journal and continually asking yourself “why” until you get to the root cause of why you feel the way you do.
- As human beings, we tend to blame everyone and everything around us for our misfortunes, when really, at the end of the day we’re blaming ourselves. True healing starts when we acknowledge that it all starts and ends with our own mindset and the choices which follow.
- The power of a word or phrase depends entirely on the value you give it.
- There are two ways to approach life: either with the belief that things happen to you or that things happen for Which approach will you choose?

In this episode Amber explains why achieving significant physical changes is less about getting every little detail right and more about consistently making a bunch of good choices—no matter how small they might be—over the long haul.
It’s true that, on our health and wellness journey, there is always more to learn, and a little more discipline gained over time makes a big difference. But that’s exactly Amber’s point: Transformations don’t happen overnight!
She reminds us in today’s episode to not sweat the small stuff. In other words, refuse to get caught up in the weeds.
It’s when we get hung up on minutiae that paralysis holds us back from making progress. If there’s anything we actually need to focus on, it’s the fundamentals.
Listen in as Amber reveals exactly what these big dial movers are and how you can optimize each of them in your own life!
Key Highlights
- Sustainable change is not about perfection. It’s about making consistent, incremental changes over time.
- Sleep is, hands down, the most important thing you can do for your body.
- If there was just one thing you can do to improve your nutrition today, it would be eating less packaged food.
- For women especially, strength training three-to-four days a week is the fastest way to see changes in your body.
- 30% of your daily calories in protein is a great rule of thumb.
- Dedicate every non-strength training day to restorative activity, whether it be yoga, a hike, or even just a walk in the park. It’s not just a great approach to active rest, but restorative activities also aid in hormone balance because they counteract those hard training days in-between.

In this episode, Amber once again sits down with intermittent fasting coach Laurie Lewis. This time, they dive into all things menopause. This topic is so important because it is the source of so much frustration, confusion, and even shame for a lot of women.
Laurie shares her experience with menopause and encourages listeners—both men and women—to not be afraid of having these types of discussions with the people most important to them.
In fact, she says that menopause can be “a big, exciting transition as opposed to a demoralizing one” if we refuse to treat it as such.
Laurie explains that sleep, hydration, meditation, walking, yoga, and—most importantly—intermittent fasting made the biggest difference for her.
Listen in as she and Amber discuss the lesser-known benefits of intermittent fasting and why more women over 40 should consider incorporating it into their lifestyle as they traverse down the road to healing!
Key Highlights
- From feeling like she was on top of her game in her early 40s to gaining 50 pounds in a short amount of time, Laure shares how she was forced to make major lifestyle shifts as menopause became her reality.
- In this period of transition, it’s time to be gentle with yourself, slow down, and listen to your body.
- It’s vital for women over 45 to manage their insulin levels, and the best way to do that is through intermittent fasting.
- Estrogen and progesterone are in constant flux and chaos throughout perimenopause. Talk to your doctor and have your levels tested to know the next step to healing.
- Focus on small, mindful shifts instead of the many complexities of menopause to avoid overwhelm and make real, step-by-step progress.
- Do not treat intermittent fasting as a “diet”. The exact time you eat isn’t as important as embracing your intuition: Your body will tell you when it needs to eat, and will tell you once it’s achieved satiety.
- Intermittent fasting can be a beautiful way to work with your body. Refer to your fasting time as your “healing hours” and your eating window as your “pleasure hours”.

In this episode, Amber explains why having a powerful vision statement gets us in the right frame of mind to smash our wellness goals!
The secret to sustainable weight loss lies in forging the right mindset. This mindset is not only important, but vital in your quest to create your ideal lifestyle – one where you’re losing weight while enjoying life at the same damn time!
It’s a mindset that Amber herself realized (the hard way!) did not involve agonizing over calories and choosing the “right” foods every minute of every day.
It all begins and ends with having a well-defined vision statement.
Listen in as Amber explains, step-by-step, how you can put together your own vision statement and lay a strong foundation for your health and fitness journey!

In this episode Amber is talking with the amazing Monica Molenaar. Together, Amber and Monica talk about menopause and the devastating and quick changes it can make to your body. They discuss the importance of hormone therapy and all of the misinformation circulating and propagating that can really be more harmful than good. Menopause is a topic that so many women are wondering about and going through themselves. Unfortunately…there just isn’t enough information out there and easily available.
Because of Monica’s extensive family history of breast cancer, she was extremely proactive about screenings. After finding out she was BRCA positive at a young age and having her ovaries removed she was thrust immediately into menopause because of loss of estrogen production. It was an overnight change that was unexpected and extremely difficult. She experienced many early onset symptoms. She talks about how not sleeping, gaining weight, being in a bad mood because of lack of sleep, slowing metabolism, looking and feeling exhausted, being really irritable (NOT good with noisy little ones running around!) and experiencing major joint pain really affected all aspects of life. Carrying the extra weight and not feeling at all like herself any longer felt “demoralizing” to her. Amber and Monica discuss how body image and weight can really affect the mental health aspect of this process and of life in general.
After finding a knowledgeable doctor and being given a compounded hormone treatment she experienced much relief. She finally felt like herself again. When deciding to go back out into the workforce, Monica was determined to find what she was passionate about and Alloy was born. Alloy is a tele-health platform with medical doctors on standby, for people needing medical advice and/or medications. Amber and Monica talk about the importance of gut micro-biome and how it affects menopause as well as so many aspects of life.
Key Highlights
- Monica talks about how important it is to seek answers and see other doctors when you don’t feel like you are getting what you need from one.
- 80% of women will experience moderate to severe symptoms of menopause. Three fourths of those women will actually go to a doctor to get help. Only 6% of women are prescribed medications.
- Hormone replacement therapy far outweighs the risks.
- Women need access to the mental and physical help that they require.
- The gut micro-biome are SO important for overall health.
- The meaning of menopause is estrogen depleted.
- Feeling good and feeling like yourself is so important.
- We’re living in a time with so many resources but so much misinformation.

There are tools that Amber has been talking about a lot lately on social media and it is called exposure therapy or intermittent sampling. This tool is very powerful and can help you to trust yourself around food more so that you are not stuck on diets that don't work. Lifestyle 2.0 is all about making healthy choices that taste good to you and feel good in your body. This tool can help you to eliminate binge sessions and make sustainable weight loss possible.
In this episode, we talk about how food is food. There is no good food or bad food. Amber shares tools that help you learn how to trust yourself around food, get to Lifestyle 2.0, and stop binge eating. She also talked about what the differences between Lifestyle 1.0 and 2.0 and why diet culture keeps us stuck in 1.0
It is not about being perfect, but consistent. One tip is to do exposure therapy and journal what feelings come up when you are having cravings. What emotions, physical feelings, and thoughts come up?
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
“Diets don’t teach us what to do when the diet is over. They start with nutrition and end with exercise. This is Lifestyle 1.0” -Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Jill Coleman, business coach, coined the term “exposure therapy”, which is a tool that helps people to learn to trust themselves around food. It can help to eliminate binge sessions
- Eliminating whole food groups, or living your life in a “diet mentality”, is not the goal. It is not real life or realistic. We need to live in Lifestyle 2.0
- The point of this is to trust yourself around food and to take a look at what else you're doing in your lifestyle to see why is it that you are binging on and where it can be in your nutrition
- If you are following on and off the wagon, your wagon sucks. You are following wheels made by someone else and it is just not working
- To get to Lifestyle 2.0, it is not just one thing. You have to do multiple things to arrive at this place.

In this episode, Amber is talking to board certified neurologist, Dr. Philippe Douyon. Together, they break down the science behind neuroplasticity, how to improve your neurological health through simple action steps, and what you can do as a woman to take care of your brain and live a long, healthy life.
As Philippe says, there’s so much more we can do for people besides prescribing them a pill or taking them to the operating room. So many neurological disorders are developed from lifestyle decisions. Thus, Philippe created The Inle BrainFit Institute to help create exercise and nutrition regimens for patients based on their medical and neurological needs. Dr. Douyon’s BrainFit app also helps teach people everything that impacts their neurological, mental, and medical health. Philippe even has a course that enables you to Take Charge of Your Brain.
So, how can we take charge of our brain starting TODAY? As a patient himself, Philippe has applied the lessons he’s learned as a patient to the people he’s serving and taking care of. One of the biggest lessons he’s learned is the importance of taking time to get to know the factors that are impacting one’s health and teaching them how to overcome the challenges they face.
Are you ready to take charge of your brain health? Tune in to learn more!
Key Highlights
- If you don’t have access to holistic or functional medicine doctors, Philippe says you have to be dedicated to taking good care of yourself every day so you can stay healthy and avoid landing in a hospital. Improving your brain health today starts with actionable diet and lifestyle changes.
- You need someone in your close circle that can advocate for you during doctor/hospital visits. Having a person, or multiple people, that can fight for you is HUGE in reaching the health outcomes you want.
- To improve and/or maintain your brain health, movement and exercise (that you enjoy) is #1 - particularly aerobic exercise and resistance training. Living a sedentary lifestyle actually causes your brain to shrink! Minimizing stress, meditating, breathwork, eating healthy foods, drinking plenty of water, getting enough quality (deep) sleep, and learning new things can all improve brain health and decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s and other diseases.
- Cosmetic plastic surgery and drinking alcohol can negatively affect neurological health and neuroplasticity. Listen in to hear why Philippe believes that “one glass of wine a day” is total BS!

In this episode, Amber unpacks a common hurdle that many people face when it comes to following a nutrition plan: getting through the weekend without falling off-track!
It’s tough to avoid the temptation to binge over the weekend with friends or family, then attempt to justify it later on by telling yourself that it was just a “cheat meal”... before proceeding to the next binge, resulting in a full-on cheat day!
Then, once Monday rolls around – along with those inevitable feelings of shame and guilt – you punish yourself by severely cutting back on your calories and spending an additional half-hour on the treadmill to “make up” for overindulging over the past couple of days.
That knee-jerk urge to restrict yourself after a weekend of binging is part and parcel of diet mentality – something that Amber reminds us is an unproductive and sometimes even dangerous mindset to live by in the long run.
Still, it’s inevitable that we veer off-course on our journey every now and again. The question, then, is: How do we get back on track?
Ready for the answer, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “If you’re stuck in the ‘I’m not allowed to have that’ box, you’re never going to get to the next level – what I consider ‘Lifestyle 2.0.” –Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- The neverending roller coaster of weekly binging and restricting is not only unhealthy, but also unrealistic as an attempt to “catch up” to your health goals.
- Always keep the satisfaction factor in mind when preparing your meals. The main reason we fall off-track and our willpower fizzles out is because the track we’re trying to stay on sucks! Make it a point to enjoy your meals and you won’t have to worry about getting derailed.
- There are no “good” foods and “bad” foods. Instead, tell yourself: “I’m a grown-ass woman and I can eat whatever I want.” Make this your affirmation. It’s an absolute game-changer!
- Diet mentality will keep you stuck in Lifestyle 1.0. Get out of that restrictive box, choose the food you enjoy every time, and supercharge your progress with Lifestyle 2.0!

In this episode, Amber is talking to the badass woman that is Amy Ledin. They are breaking down the barriers around weight loss and being completely transparent by looking inward and rather than in the mirror. If we’re being honest, how many of us associate that dreaded mirror negatively? That’s why we have to show up for ourselves in everything we do to prove– damn, we are worth it.
But what does this mean? It seems almost trendy to say “show up for yourself.” Really, as Amy and Amber break it up, it comes down to intention. Amy and Amber both have stories that many of us can relate to. Did you ever have that moment as a child where you realized, there was just something different about the way you looked– and it didn’t make you feel good. As Amy says, “no one likes to be the chubby kid in school.”
But we aren’t children anymore. But some of us may have kids that have inherited that same title we had. We have to show up for ourselves. Like an airplane emergency, the parent puts on the mask first and then the child. When we have intention behind our decisions, we are modeling effective behavior for our children. It is up to us to keep our home environments strong.
How do we do this? As the episode wraps, Amy discusses a BANG-card technique (Behavior, Activity, Nutrition, Growth). These are four agreements we make to ourselves the night before and if we can check each item off as achieved, we have won that day. A simple tool, but what an empowering way to show up for yourself and win back your life– whether it be weight loss or any other valley.
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “I was just a really good program follower for years, but the moment you took that away from me, I was looking for ways to break my promise [to myself].” –Amy Ledin
Key Highlights
- Childhood as the “chubby kid” can lead to inner work we have to deal with as adults.
- Personal development work is everyday. It has to be intentional– with purpose.
- What behaviors are you modeling for your children? Even if you don’t think you’re modeling anything health-wise, you most certainly are. Take a moment to think about what those behaviors are currently and if they should be changed.
- We don’t meal prep pizza! When we plan ahead of time, we are making better choices for ourselves.
- Because of the dieting culture that has been so pervasive, diets often run very deeply for women in a psychological sense.
- Don’t confuse a promise with willpower. Think of an agreement to yourself. If you say you are going to make your bed, then make the damn bed. That’s an agreement you have kept with yourself. What other areas of your health can those agreements lend themselves to?

In this episode, Amber is being vulnerable and transparent about a topic that most (if not, all) of us need to hear. We need to show ourselves some radical self-love.
As Amber says, radical is another way of saying we unapologetically appreciate our bodies. Had some kids? Got up a flight of stairs? Damn, your body did that. We put our bodies through the wringer. To be able to love ourselves fully– we need to give our bodies some well-deserved appreciation.
That’s all well and good, Amber, but do you have a way to actually do this? Thanks for asking– of course! Amber admittedly states that this is something she struggles with to this day! This can be a hard pill to swallow, but through consistency of using some small, self-love tools that Amber gives us, it is a process that can get easier with time.
First up, find some things that you love about your physical appearance and write them down. Lean in, Mama. You can find something to put on that list, no matter how small. Next, it’s time for some mirror affirmations. This is where we actually take the time to affirm what our bodies do for us.
We are complex beings. Because of that, our self-worth should not be tied to a number on the scale or the size of our clothes.
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “I think when you love yourself wholly… you want to make better choices for your body. I do think you want to make healthier choices to your body. You speak nicer to yourself. You take care of yourself more. I think that’s what’s key for sustainable weight loss.” –Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Sometimes when you notice some negative thoughts you are having toward yourself, it requires you to recognize it and have a conversation with yourself to correct it.
- We have to be able to love ourselves from within and try not to attach our happiness to physical attributes.
- When we are able to express radical self-love for ourselves, healthier and better choices are made as well as thoughts changing from negative to positive.
- We shouldn’t be turning a blind eye toward our health for the sake of body positivity.
- The body neutrality movement may be a better approach for us that can’t find a way to “love” anything about our bodies… yet.
- Self-love is not an overnight process. It takes consistent practice with the tools Amber shares with us.

How many different identities do we go through as women? Mom, wife, caregiver, nanny, divorcee, cat lady? Do you even realize when your identity actually shifts? How can we do anything meaningful in life and appreciate it when we don’t know who we are? In this episode Amber is talking to Anthony Trucks, author of Identity Shift: Upgrade How You Operate to Elevate Your Life.
As a foster child, Anthony’s earliest memories were bombarded with bouncing from home to home. As life happened, he ended up being adopted in his teens to an all-white family that added another layer to his identity. Then he added football, children, marriage, divorce, NFL, and injury to those layers as well. The question becomes, how do you navigate the change and control it rather than it controlling you?
Anthony compares our bodies to a computer where our bodies are the hardware. Things like marriage and business are the programs that are running, and then our health is the operating system. Our identity is the invisible force that talks to all of it. Taking control of it requires awareness. It doesn’t stop there, though. Once you gain that awareness, you shift your mindset. For example, too many of us start our days with negative thoughts. “I’m dumb.” or, “There’s no way I can do that.” As simple as it may sound, try starting your day with, “I’m a kick-ass woman!”
Really, Amber? Is that all we’re talking about, here? Not exactly. You’ve told yourself that you’re amazing (and you are), but now what are you going to do to back up that claim? It’s time for action, but the actions should align with your affirmations. Do that, and you will start noticing some changes.
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “I think the biggest problem we have with change is not the change– but knowing who we are within the change. Because, if you don’t know who you are within it, you don't know how to navigate it.” –Anthony Trucks
Key Highlights
- We have always been the ones that create who we are as people, but we have rarely done so with intention. We can actually take the reins over our identity.
- We have to take ownership of our identities, even if it is painful to realize that we are at the center of every problem we have had.
- Identity is who you are when you aren’t thinking about who you are.
- To control our identity, we have to be aware and see it. Then we can take action to change it– our thoughts and emotions will follow the lead.
- Change and growth happen when we are uncomfortable.

Hey, girl. If there is anything that our toxic diet culture has taught us as we were growing up, it is calories in and calories out. Or even, “Move more, eat less.” Here’s the deal, we talk a lot about the “crazy train of dieting” on this show and this is exactly the reason why– these Tarzan-like statements that require minimal speech also require minimal thought and our brains can go on thinking that this is normal. That this is what it takes to actually get the results we desire. But have you ever thought to yourself, “If I am doing all of these things right, then why am I not seeing the results?” It can be frustrating as hell, and Amber sheds some light by giving us three questions to ask ourselves when we see a plateau in our wellness journeys.
First up, ask yourself, “Am I actually eating enough?” Wait a sec… How can I eat too little? Move more, eat less, right? Stay with me. Amber says that women over 40 grew up in a time when it was trendy to be on a diet of some sort– because of that, we have all heard the term “calorie deficit.” So, here’s what happens: we go on this journey and we see some results. Hell. Yes. But, the time comes when we hit our first plateau. Okay, so we do what we did the first time around and cut our calories again… and again, and again. The crazy train becomes a crazy vortex spiraling out of control. Eventually, our body adjusts and our metabolism slows. So, it begs the question– are you eating enough? If not, it would be a prime opportunity to get a coach’s help to guide you through the process to reverse this effect.
Next, ask yourself, “Am I stressed?” Amber points out that we are not just talking mental or emotional stress. That is certainly a factor here, but we are talking about physical stress on the body as well. To feel stressed like we are all familiar with is easy to recognize, but our physical body being stressed may be more difficult to gain awareness of so check for these things: Are you exercising too much? Amber has a great story about an avid CrossFitter to illustrate this point. Are you sleeping enough? The whole point of sleep is for our bodies to recharge, recover, and reset– so, naturally, if we don’t get enough sleep, we are automatically putting ourselves at a disadvantage. All this stress, whether emotional or physical, produces the hormone cortisol which definitely has a direct effect on our weight loss.
Finally, ask yourself, “Am I giving myself enough time?” Let’s be real. We want more than weight loss, we want body fat loss. To do this takes time. You have heard this before, but how many of us actually listen? Achieving sustainable weight loss takes time and changing our mindset from fixed to one of growth. We are talking about a wellness journey lifestyle, not dieting.

Today's episode is a sesh that will challenge and empower you, with none other than Julie Solomon. In this episode, Amber is talking with Julie about what we can do as women to get what we want out of life. This episode is full of wisdom, so you may want to get that pen and paper as you cozy up with a glass of wine, because, Mama– this badass of a woman is calling us out in the best possible way so we can optimize our lives and find purpose.
Have you ever been completely overwhelmed, say… by just looking at your phone? All the ugly red notifications that scream at you. This is exactly what Julie did not want her audience to feel by reading her book. She knew exactly what not to do. She wanted to be authentic and give tangible steps to get what you want out of your life. Today’s interview between Amber and Julie is a journey through the book, Get What You Want: How To Go From Unseen To Unstoppable. The first stop is actually in the introduction of the book but brings about a conversation that many women that are moms shy away from. Sometimes there are days we don’t feel like being moms. gasp This is just one stigma that Amber and Julie do not shy away from. If we want change and satisfaction out of life, then the norm should be for uncomfortable conversations to become comfortable.
This flows so naturally into the next topic Amber brings up to Julie about validation. This is where it gets real. The scene is set when Julie gives us some context about a particular influencer that she looked up to a great deal that emailed her when Julie’s own podcast, The Influencer Podcast, started gaining traction. Fantasies of friendship and collaboration immediately entered her mind… and then she read the email. To say it was the complete opposite of that would be an understatement, but Julie used it as a lesson to realize that she was seeking external validation from others simply because there were things about herself that she didn’t like. Pause and read that again. Does that hit a little too close to home? As Julie says, when we hide what we don’t like about ourselves with the validation of others, it will only cause destruction.
Thanks for the uplifting words, right? But fear not because as the episode wraps up, one of the final topics that is brought up is purpose. As Amber says often, we have to take radical ownership. The sooner we can own who we are and gain a sense of acceptance, whoa, now we are empowered to get what we want out of our lives. We can be intentional in the present so we can get what we want in the future.
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “The more that I stay focused on being accepted and being validated by other people– just because it allows me to avoid the fact that there’s a lot about myself that I don’t like, that’s only going to end in destruction.” –Julie Solomon
Key Highlights
- Julie wrote her book out of a sense for her readers to be able to experience her in an authentic way, to see the obstacles she has had to overcome, and give tangible steps to achieve what they want;
- Being a mom is a wonderful responsibility, but there is a stigma that is placed on moms that we can’t express at times that some days it is just hard to be a mom or days where we don’t want the responsibility of being a mom at all;
- Amber agreeing with Julie that as soon as we can get honest with ourselves in our momhood journey, the sooner we can really tap into getting what we want and who we want to be;
- The reason that our own self-confidence and our own value, acceptance, and approval are contingent on what others think is because it makes us feel better about not liking ourselves;
- The more we can trust and love ourselves, the more we can love and trust other women– truly and authentically;
- We have to be able to understand how our “origin story” affects our belief systems we have in place today, only then can we be empowered to make change and take radical ownership of our lives;
- Become the woman that you want to be tomorrow so you can get the results that you want today.

Hey, Mama– I’ve got a question for you. Does this statement sound all too familiar? “I’ll be happy when…” Yikes. Depending on how you finish that sentence really shines a light on your perceived self-worth. Well, Lady, take a seat and grab a glass of wine and listen to the major truth bombs that Amber is dropping for us today all about the comparison trap– the trap we are all guilty of falling into when we compare ourselves to others. Amber even quotes a saying from Tim Tebow based on his own research findings: On average, we spend 12% of our days comparing ourselves to others.
What do you think about that? Think it might be more than 12% at times? So does Amber. Maybe you’re inclined to agree with Amber again, she says early in the episode that men certainly feel pressure as the society-deemed provider of the family. Women? We feel pressure as well. External pressure. Rather than say, “Damn, I wish I had that girl’s energy!” or “Damn, she just has so much joy! I wish I could be more joyful like that.? No, as women, we are more likely to fall into that comparison trap of the external attributes of, “Damn! I wish I had those legs.” Sub out the word legs with anything else you’d like. Abs? Butt? Cheekbones? It’s like we’re standing in front of Regina George’s mirror nitpicking all the things we wish we could change. But here’s another question: How does that make you feel?
As Amber says, we should want to grow and improve on ourselves. “Our inner work is never done.” But, when this drive for growth becomes so predominant that it dictates our lives, we have to start questioning our intentions. Going down the rabbit hole of comparing yourself to others and then causing negative emotions you feel toward yourself– girl, this is wasted energy. So, what do we do about it? Luckily, Amber is giving us her example of what she does to yank yerself out of the comparison trap. First, she does daily gratitude practice. You like the stars around practice? They’re there for a reason. It is a daily practice to find something (five things, in Amber’s case) to be grateful for. Not only does she find those five things, she makes sure that they are different every day and then she takes a moment to feel that thing or person she is grateful for.
The second thing Amber does is pull a tool from a Wellness Revolution favorite and previous guest of the podcast, Gabby Bernstein. Amber uses Gabby’s “Choose Again” method. You have to be aware and recognize when the comparison trap has been triggered. Once that happens, rather than feel guilty for falling into the trap, you are empowered to choose again– choose a positive reaction, maybe one of gratitude? As Amber reiterates through the episode, we all fall into the comparison trap, but what will you do to pull yourself out of it?

Wellness Quote
- “When you are constantly comparing your body, your job, your house to someone else, you can miss out on what is directly in front of you. You can miss out on the many, many blessings that are right in front of your face.” –Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- We spend 12% of our day comparing ourselves to others. For men as the providers of the family, that may be more materialistic like a job or house, but for women, it is more likely to be external comparing different parts of our bodies;
- Our inner work should never be done, we should constantly be seeking growth;
- We run the risk of missing out on things that are directly in front of us when we fall into the comparison trap;
- When you have fallen into the comparison trap, it is not easy to find things to be grateful for, but that is why it is so important. We have to be intentional and actually practice gratitude;
- Amber finds five things she is grateful for every day before she opens her eyes in the morning. These things are different from day to day and she takes a moment to actually feel that thing or person she is grateful for making the practice more intentional and impactful;
- There is a difference between accepting yourself for who you are and wanting to experience personal growth– the drive for growth should not come at the cost of mental wellbeing. If you’re finding that it does, take a closer look at your intentions and find your “why”
- Use Gabby Berstein’s “choose again” method to react differently when the comparison trap has been triggered for you.

From paralyzed acrobat to successful speaker, coach, and podcast host, Amber’s guest today, Danny-J, knows the significance of a do-over when life gives you a crap deal. Mama, we are getting vulnerable in today’s episode and talking about the power (and the need) for a do-over in our lives.
As coaches, Danny-J and Amber both know the power of a client figuring out what is truly bothering them, getting past it, and growing from it can do to that client’s overall wellbeing and personal growth. That is something that, as individuals, we can control. But what happens when life decides to take a insert poop emoji on us? What happens when it is out of our control? Loss of a job. Loss of a loved one. Loss of a marriage. Is this hitting home, Mama?
In today’s interview, Danny-J comes to the rescue by describing how to get a do-over. A do-over is different from starting over, it is a mindset shift with a positive outlook. A do-over is something we get to do– we get to try again with a different outcome in mind. It is us saying, “New ‘do, new me,” after we get our hair colored.
But how do we get this oh-so-magical, do-over life makeover? By realizing that this setback (whatever it may be) is a GIFT. We have to grieve. We are allowed to be sad. Any kind of loss in life is worthy of acknowledgment. As we grieve, we should look for Insights– are there any lessons to be learned out of this? Then, we should Forgive. Listen, Mama, Danny-J and Amber both stress that Forgiveness is NOT for the other person, it is for you. You are not letting that person have power over you any longer. Finally, we need to Trust. Trust is something that we should have in ourselves, and ultimately, trust overall that everything is as it should be or will be. These moments in life are setbacks and using this framework we can turn those setbacks into fuel that ignites our do-over.
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “Forgiveness is not about letting someone else off the hook, it’s really releasing their tie on you and it’s really for you.” –Danny-J
Key Highlights
- Meet Danny-J, a college graduate turned acrobat that became paralyzed and had a long healing journey, but within a year was able to walk again. Danny-J is now a successful coach, speaker and the co-host of the Best Life Podcast;
- If we notice something is blocking our way to success, the block may be emotional or mental rather than physical, it is necessary for us to figure this out on our own rather than someone tell us;
- After she found out her husband was having an affair, Do-over Danny came to life and brought to light what a properly executed do-over can do for our overall well-being and personal growth
- Setbacks are a secret gift to a do-over. This is mentioned in Danny-J’s TED Talk as she also mentions her framework to carry out a successful do-over, GIFT;
- Forgiveness is something that is ongoing. It is not a “one and done” event. Even though forgiveness is for us and not the other person, it may be something that turns into a daily practice. If you don’t think you are capable of actually forgiving someone try the baby step of “I am willing to be able to forgive,”;
- Another possibility for mental or emotional healing could be ayahuasca or other plant ceremonies, Amber and Danny talk about this in detail, and Danny-J also has a full podcast episode on the Best Life Podcast over this topic if you are interested.

Hey Love, if you know the struggle of being so good on your diet during the day (give yourself a pat on the back), only to be derailed by your pantry for a nighttime eating sesh, then Amber has some words you need to hear today in this episode. Girl, don’t white-knuckle it– give yourself some damn grace. We’ve all been there, but with the tips that Amber gives us today, let’s be fierce and face that nighttime with confidence!
First, if you notice that your nighttime eating is getting the best of you, Amber encourages you to detach yourself from that moment and to be clinical and ask yourself– What’s really going on? Why am I doing this? Once we identify the cause, nighttime eating is an issue that can be remedied. This spills over into the next tip. Once you know why, then you can identify what triggered it. Self-awareness is key for this to be effective.
Then, Mama, cue “Closing Time” by Semisonic because this kitchen is closed. Get yourself into a routine with structured times for eating and sleeping. To be able to get better sleep, studies show we should shut that kitchen down 3-4 hours before our head hits that pillow. When we have that structure we can make sure we’re getting enough food throughout the day to where we don’t even think about nighttime eating because we’ll be busy sleeping. This step really kicks our circadian rhythm into gear and resets our bodies to lessen cravings and hunger.
The next steps overlap each other. Girl, get satisfied– at every meal. Healthy eating doesn’t have to equate to boring eating. Eat the foods that you like and appreciate your meal. We want our bodies to say, “Damn, that was good!” Achieving that level of satisfaction is easier when we do the next tip and include protein and good fats in our meals. By including these nutrients in our meals, we are not only more satisfied, but nighttime eating will become a thing of the past. But overall, listen to your body. As Amber says, we should not deny our bodies in the name of a diet. After all, wellness and health is a journey about being consistent over perfect.
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “When it comes to nighttime eating, more times than not, there is a reason behind it… that reason has nothing to do with the kind of person that you are.” –Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- We have to release that guilt and shame over not meeting the unrealistic standards that restrictive dieting has placed on us, we have to give ourselves grace;
- Get more clinical and understand the why behind your nighttime eating sessions– ask yourself why are you doing this and identify the cause;
- Once you understand the cause, find the trigger. Was it emotional? Maybe you had a stressful day at work, maybe it was your gulp children. Bath time. Bedtime. Getting them to eat vegetables. Yikes;
- Getting into a routine is very helpful. Be intentional and plan to have enough food throughout your day, close your kitchen at a specific time, and then be consistent with your bedtime;
- Get enough protein and good fats at every meal to boost your satisfaction with every meal. When we look forward to eating during the day and for dinner, nighttime eating isn’t something to worry about;
- Give yourself some damn grace… have we mentioned that already?

In this episode, Amber is getting real and vulnerable with celebrity makeup artist and CEO of Pretty Girl Makeup, Christina Flach. If you have ever experienced tragedy or darker moments in life, and someone has made the suggestion to just “snap out of it,” it can truly be frustrating. As a badass mom and CEO, Christina lets us know that these moments are not something we can just snap out of– it takes conscious thought and intentional practice to get through these valleys, all while leaning on friends and family.
Christina has experienced the loss of both her son, Beau, and her husband, professional tennis player, Ken Flach. For Christina, it came down to relying on friends and family and her disciplined lifestyle. This Mama used her pain and turned it into purpose for her family by taking care of herself first. It is not selfish to take care of yourself, like Christina says, “I’m a better everything when I have taken care of myself.” This isn’t to say that it was an easy path to take. Choosing a path of happiness was a mindset shift that took time, but was ultimately necessary for her family that she still had to take care of. Small choices like being grateful for the time you have with your loved ones is something Christina repeatedly thought even saying, “You don’t know how long you have on this earth with friends or family, so don’t f*** it up!”
Christina is a shining example of beautiful resilience. With everything she has been through, she has come out of it with purpose. A purpose to spread awareness of Sepsis. A purpose to take care of herself so she can take care of her family. A purpose for business. A purpose to live life happily. How can you turn your pain into purpose?
You in, Mama? Tune in for more!
Wellness Quote
- “As mothers, our happiness affects everybody, and so, if we’re a disaster, it’s going to affect the kids.” –Christina Flach
Key Highlights
- Just because Christina chose to be happy rather than miserable after such a tragic loss, she still took the time to grieve. It just didn’t come at the expense of the rest of her family;
- As the adage goes, “happy wife, happy life,” something similar can be said for mothers in a family unit. When a mom is down, the family is down more than likely. This is a beautiful responsibility;
- We are not guaranteed anything in this life. It is a choice to be grateful for the time we had with ones that have passed. It is a choice to be happy rather than sad or miserable;
- When it comes to our health, no one will advocate for us better than ourselves. If we feel that something is off, we should demand to be treated or to be heard;
- Make caring for yourself a non-negotiable. It is not a selfish act to care for oneself– we can be a better everything for ourselves and our families when we have taken care of ourselves first.

“Amber, I wish I could just tone this body part up!”
“What exercises can I do to get rid of this stubborn belly fat?”
“Ugh! I am so self-conscious about the fat on the back of my arms!”
Hey Mama, if you have ever thought about this at one point in your life (most of us have), then this is the episode for you. This is what we call spot reducing– the idea of toning up a specific part of your body.
But brace yourself, gorgeous. Spot reduction… is not a thing. Our bodies are complex with multiple factors at play like genetics, body type, and nutrition. All of these play a role when it comes to losing weight. So, if spot reduction is not possible, what can we do? The good news is that Amber is answering that question for us by dropping some of her biggest tips to solve this problem.
First, rather than do exercises that focus on a specific body part or muscle group, start doing compound exercises. These are exercises that are working out more than one muscle group at the same time– think planks, push-ups, squats or even some mini circuits with a slam ball. Once we have these exercises set, let’s focus on staying consistent with them. Now, consistency does not mean going hardcore 5-6 days out of the week. Especially if you’re just starting, oh mamma, you’ll shut down before you even begin and no one would blame you! You have to meet yourself where you’re at, and if that means one day out of the week, then do it– but do it consistently. Finally, nutrition is paramount. As Amber says in the episode, “You cannot out-exercise a poor diet.” If we really want to get rid of our excess body fat, then we should make ourselves a priority and minimize what we eat in a box or package.
Talking about spot reducing goes to an idea of a “quick fix,” but to get the results, we have to change our mindsets that this will not be an overnight transformation– it will take consistency to make it sustainable.

Wellness Quote
- “You can focus on strengthening… and building muscle which will, in turn, help with your metabolism and burn fat– but as far as target a specific area, there’s no such thing.” –Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Ladies, we do not have “bat wings” or “muffin tops,” let’s give ourselves some grace and focus on what we can do rather than go after something that doesn’t exist like spot reducing;
- If something could be as easy as spot reducing, everyone would do it, but our bodies are complex, and to lose weight or stubborn fat we have to take into account genes, body type, nutrition, etc.;
- If we can’t spot reduce by targeting one specific area, then let’s do some complex exercises so we can get the most bang for our buck by exercising multiple muscle groups at the same time;
- Whenever we are going to make changes to our fitness routine, we need to make sure we are being consistent. Meet yourself where you’re at if you’re just beginning, but be consistent;
- You can’t out-exercise a poor diet, we have to make our nutrition a priority. When we incorporate all of these tips, we will start noticing the changes in our body– not overnight, but it will be sustainable weight loss.

In this episode, we are tearing down the walls and getting real talking about all things related to the female libido with the Libidoologist, herself, Dr. Renee Wellenstein. You may be surprised by a few things you hear in today’s episode about a topic we normally (ahem, especially women) shy away from.
First, Renee discusses what libido is. While many may think of it as just the sex drive, Renee goes a bit further and extends the definition to a more emotional state– the desire and need for connection and intimacy. This definition really sets the foundation for the rest of the episode, because it makes libido more an issue of mindset than action.
For example, when Amber and Renee first start the conversation, Amber gives the scenario of women doing most of the housework, taking care of the children, running errands– all of this on top of their own jobs. Enter husband The expectation becomes that women should jump in their husband’s arms as they whisk them away to the bedroom. This can lead to a feeling of resentment that can be a detriment to the libido and cause it to decrease over time.
The other part of the mindset that comes up throughout the episode relates to self-care and self-esteem. If you are feeling depleted and don’t even feel like taking care of yourself, how can you love being with someone else intimately? If your mind races with negativity and poor body image throughout your day because of your dietary choices, how does this affect your libido? As Amber and Renee state early in the episode, libido starts outside of the bedroom before it ever goes inside of it.

Wellness Quote
- “If we want to live a long, healthy, sexy life… it’s really better for us to adopt habits that are sustainable and lifelong.” –Dr. Renee Wellenstein
Key Highlights
- Renee introduces herself, and in doing so, talks about important concepts such as: life purpose, what we do when we hit our rock bottom, what we’re willing to do to feel like ‘we have our life back’;
- While not hating on conventional medicine doctors and methods, Renee and Amber discuss the advantages and disadvantages of conventional medicine and then compare it to functional medicine;
- Self-care and mindset can be the biggest factors when trying to boost the libido in women;
- If self-care and mindset are factors in boosting libido, then topics of nutrition must be discussed. Because for many women, nutrition is paramount to confidence and body image;
- Exercise that you love to do is vital to boosting your confidence and something that Dr. Renee deems as “very important” to increase the libido.

About Dr. Renee Wellenstein
Dr. Renee is a double board-certified doctor who has been working with women for over 20 years and due to her own personal health challenges, she stepped outside the box of conventional medicine to take a radically different approach to heal herself from the deep depths of burnout. About a decade ago, Dr. Renee was living what she thought was her dream life; she was an extremely busy Ob/Gyn, married to a doctor, with toddler twins and had moved to a quaint, quiet town in the country. One day in May 2012, Dr. Renee fell off of her horse during a riding lesson and broke her back. She not only struggled with severe back pain, but with fatigue and the inability to focus. Her doctor diagnosed her with depression, but her symptoms did not improve after trying two different antidepressants.
Two years after her injury, Dr. Renee was still struggling with unexplained symptoms. After exhausting all of her options in the conventional healthcare system, she was put in contact with a doctor who was an “anti-aging” practitioner. She finally received the appropriate diagnosis, her symptoms resolved and she got back on her feet and joined the world of functional medicine. In August 2019, Dr. Renee started Kaspira Elite Health Consulting, LLC. Throughout her journey, she has certainly faced her fair share of obstacles and has mastered the art of leaping into transitions with each pivot. Now Dr. Renee empowers women to take control of their health, jumpstart their energy, improve their confidence, and reignite their libido!

In this episode, Amber welcomes one of her own clients! Dayna Watkins signed up for one of Amber’s programs and is now pursuing her goals in a whole new way, without struggling with scarcity, super restrictive diets, and anxious thoughts around fitness and food. You already know that lifestyle changes are really what makes the difference for weight loss, right? Here you will find a genuine testimony of this idea.
Restrictive diets can be the initial point for more serious problems such as eating disorders and we do not want that. We want to approach our eating habits in a sustainable and sane way, without the need of measuring anything, weighing anything, or counting calories. Dayna is living proof that a coach has the ability to hold you accountable when things seem hard, and accountability is everything.
Dayna shares with us more about her story: the difficulties around diets; the permanent restrictiveness about what she could eat and what she couldn’t; the daily moments of binging; and how she decided to change for good by applying for one of Amber’s programs. Dayna also shares that investing with Amber was the turning point in her journey and that she was finally able to drop all the dieting. Tune in!

The idea of The Power of Permission will completely transform your relationship with food, set you on the path to healing that relationship, and experience the freedom you may have not thought was possible. When we have a past with chronic dieting, the internal dialogue that we have with ourselves in regards to food can be really painful, and full of shame and guilt. The real key here is to make a mindset shift, actually give yourself permission, and trust yourself to make the choice of what you want to eat. Listen to your body and your cravings, and realize that you are in control of what you put into your body. This might sound counterproductive to weight loss, but the mindset shift that happens here is truly magical. It’s science: When we tell ourselves we can’t have something, we want it more! By giving yourself permission to listen to what your body is craving, you will be surprised at your choices to satisfy those cravings. In this episode, Amber explains exactly how you can take back your power and make a true lifestyle change that will completely transform how you view food and cravings. We’re not about restriction and being miserable here on The Wellness Revolution podcast. It's time to experience freedom surrounding your food and feel good about the choices you are making to nourish your body.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber interviews Melissa Carcache. Melissa is an actress, producer, and podcaster who sees a huge value in spreading her message and being able to talk about what she is most passionate about, on any given platform.

Are there things that you allow in your life just to get validation from others? This is a question worth asking before listening to today’s episode. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber talks about this concept of taking ‘radical ownership’ of your choices, your actions, and, therefore, your reality. The things we let present in our routines and daily life will define whom we will become, even if it seems like they won’t. Avoiding our own wants and needs, not paying attention to our own health, and not prioritizing ourselves on a daily basis are the main factors to get unsatisfied with our lives. Amber explains that in order to change that, we first need to be aware of it and then ask why. Why do we put our names at the bottom of our to-do list? When it comes to fitness/health, the whole idea becomes even more important, right? Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “When we hear things that we don’t like, it can be very easy to shut down and come up with excuses and move on and ignore and all the things. But that’s not where the growth happens.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber explains how fundamental it is to take ownership of our lives, meaning, start doing right now the things that will bring us the result we desire;
- Not prioritizing ourselves is the reason for a lot of disruptive feelings, such as a lack of self-worth and self-confidence;
- There are many things that we allow in our lives just to get validation from others. We should first become aware of those things, ask why do we keep them around, and then make an effort to change;

Intermittent fasting is an amazing tool we can all use to improve some key components of our health. Losing fat is just one example. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber welcomes Laurie Lewis, who is a specialist in intermittent fasting, living proof of the benefits of this eating modality, and a coach for several clients seeking the same evergreen changes. Laurie explains that intermittent fasting is not a type of diet and should not be considered as such. It’s simply a tool in the toolbox that makes it possible for anyone with this dream – yes, dream! – of eating all kinds of delicious foods without the guilt From a nutrition standpoint, intermittent fasting ends up reducing the amount of calories consumed in a day by adjusting the ‘time window’ for meals. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “It’s exhilarating to watch how fasting stirs people towards those ‘healthier’ choices naturally.” – Laurie Lewis

- Laurie explains some of the first benefits that she felt experimenting with intermittent fasting, some of the benefits that her clients feel, and how long it took for her to start feeling good again;

Join this episode of The Wellness Revolution as Amber gives you easy and simple tools to help you cope with and manage anxiety. At some point in our lives, we all experience different moments of stress and fear, or that super weird sensation of being afraid of something for no apparent reason. Anxiety can be defined as having fear about the future, and that’s why it’s so important to focus on the ‘here and now’.
One important component of alleviating anxiety symptoms is learning to identify where the anxiety and fear are coming from. Once you are able to visualize the source of such fear and stress, you can then become familiar with it and start to ease into the situation. Amber highlights that although it’s very difficult to remember to do all these things when we are in the middle of an anxiety episode, it’s important to practice so we can learn to live in peace with it. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “I like to take a minute and try and pinpoint where exactly is this anxiety coming from. Because when everything is crashing down – so it feels, internally – and everything seems so stressful, I know rationally that’s not really what’s going on with me.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- What are some of the physical sensations that happen in your body (internally or externally) when the feelings of anxiety come?
- Learn to identify where is the anxiety coming from, what is the actual source of these scary feelings, and what is the fear behind it (what is the worst-case scenario?);
- Amber explains that is fundamental to come up with techniques to help you ground yourself and find yourself in the present moment; It could be anything from breathing to dancing;
- Amber explains the EFT tapping technique and the concept behind this old Chinese healing method.

Join this episode of The Wellness Revolution as Amber talks about the effects of alcohol in the body and its impact on weight loss overall. Alcohol itself has a great amount of empty calories, meaning it has no nutritional value, no micronutrients and no macronutrients, which means that all of the calories consumed from the alcoholic drink end up having no benefits to your body and to your health. Does alcohol affect weight loss? Yes, it does, but maybe not due to the reasons you think. Drinking alcohol at a party or social event for example can lead to overeating, which can cause an increase in the caloric intake. Anyone that has had a few too many drinks also knows that hangovers are not amazing, and this lethargic feeling can also lead to overeating and ‘snacking’ all day. Alcohol also affects gut health and many other factors that, directly or indirectly, influence weight loss. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “I do put alcohol in a similar bucket as indulging, meaning I can’t sugarcoat this. If you have alcohol, more than probably a couple of times a week, is it going to impede your ability to lose weight? Abso-freakin-lutely.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Alcohol is made of empty calories, meaning that if you believe food is medicine and fuel to your health and overall wellbeing, alcohol has no value at all;
- Too much alcohol can increase the chances of different diseases, the main one being liver disease;
- Having drinks during a social event or during a party can also lead to overeating, “snacking” all the time, and eating more than we actually need;
- Alcohol causes hangover, which can make you feel lethargic, with no energy to exercise for example, and in a “hungry” mood the next day;
- Alcohol also has a huge influence over our gut health and, depending on your age, this should be a focus of attention.

The way we connect and have relationships with people is strongly based on whether our nervous system is regulated or not. The regulation of our nervous system, on the other hand, is strongly based on old unhealed traumas that may have happened in childhood or just weeks ago. These wounds manifest as relationship insecurities and problems when we are adults, and most people simply don’t know how to address it. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber speaks with Lauren Zoeller. Lauren is a Somatic Relationship Expert who helps people deal with tough situations in relationships through managing their feelings and calming their nervous system. Lauren explains the 4Fs of common nervous system reactions: Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn. Each one guides us on how we will respond to anxiety inducing moments. Tune in!

In order to exercise and take care of our health we need to make some changes, adjust, and choose what we want to prioritize. As much as our jobs take a lot of our productive time, the family and the kids need attention, and we feel super tired after a busy routine, our health should also be included in this equation. We cannot let ourselves and our wellbeing be the last thing on our to do list.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber gives you tips and strategies to get a physical activity in even if you have no time and your schedule is all over the place, everyday. Oftentimes, we think that we need to find motivation to get to the gym and the truth is that the motivation will meet us there, after the first minutes of the workout. Start small, progress over time, and you’re good to go.
Wellness Quote
- “If you’ve got some fat loss goals and you’ve got some health goals and exercise is really hard for you to get in and you’re not doing it… I can’t sugarcoat this. At some point you’re just going to have to make it happen.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Exercise is really important for our health in general, and not just the appearance. Our entire body benefits from some movement;
- Amber explains that you need to own that you need to take care of you first and really make yourself your top priority;
- It’s important to start small, progress over time, and not try to do a lot of things or heavy exercise or exercise everyday, all at once;
- It’s also fundamental to prepare your body for the exercise and ‘get in the mood’. Sleep habits and nutrition habits must be taken into account;
- When we talk about exercising and getting fit to reach our goals, consistency is really the key and not perfection.

When it comes to proper nutrition and weight loss, the myths and misinformation in the industry are really what prevents people from getting results and seeing changes.

In this episode of the podcast, Amber welcomes Robert J. Davis a.k.a. The Healthy Skeptic, PhD, and author to demystify popular and wrong information about nutrition. Robert explains that there are some things that we cannot help when it comes to changing our body composition (like microbiome and genetics) but there are also a lot of best practices that if done properly can really make a difference. Tune in!

Carbohydrates (commonly known as carbs) are an important component of the nutrition spectrum that our body needs to keep functioning properly.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber dives deep into this topic, explaining the best practices when it comes to carbohydrate consumption.

Amber also explains that the quality of the food and the source of the carbohydrate matters as well. Tune in!

Key Highlights
- People tend to demonize carbohydrates and label it as being a “bad” macronutrient, which is far from the truth;

- Amber explains that less processed and less refined carbohydrates will benefit weight loss goals more;
- Amber gives examples of less refined carbohydrates that can be good for you and can assist in weight loss;
- Instead of logging in food and weighting everything, try to focus on food portions and don’t stress too much about it;

People who have always been on the fence with their body image can get really triggered with 8-week-programs, 5-day-challenges, and all sorts of these offers that exist on the internet. You know, chronic dieters really struggle with self-belief, confidence, and conviction so when they see themselves wanting to commit to something, they get really frustrated and afraid of not being able to go all in.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber gives you a pep talk if you are one of these chronic dieters who are bombarded with all kinds of challenges and programs on social media. Amber explains that you cannot fail if you lower your expectations and change the word ‘perfection’ to ‘consistency’. Everything seems easier when we abandon the many attempts of doing things flawlessly.
Wellness Quote
- “The only way that you can mess up is if you stop showing up. That’s it.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Chronic dieters can get freaked out with programs or challenges. Due to the many past attempts of trying to get results no matter what, this ‘gotta-do-it-perfectly’ mentality can get in the way;
- Amber explains that if you are listening and you see yourself as one of these examples, know that it’s ok and these are real feelings you shouldn’t be ashamed of;
- Trying to follow these programs with consistency instead of perfection and always keep moving forward is the antidote of not failing.

Amber explains that, even though she always had a profession and was very safe financially, she had to shift her mindset and internalize that from that moment on, she would take care of herself.

- “When I could just really step back and look at things more objectively and start to pick off my fears one by one, things got easier.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber talks about her divorce, how she was able to accept that the marriage was ending, and how she eventually found herself in a position of self-sufficiency, accepting that she did could take care of herself;
- Amber explains that divorce does not happen overnight and it’s not a sudden decision. On the contrary: it’s a long process that requires patience, a lot of inner work, and caution (especially if it involves children);
- When we see ourselves taking real and solid steps to actually end the marriage, it might be really scary – for example, getting legal advice. Amber explains that it doesn’t need to be this way and getting information is just part of the process.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber shares important tips on meal prep. When it comes to living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining sustainable and sane eating habits, you don’t have to try to control everything you eat and count macros and count calories and be super stressed about your food. At the same time, it’s good to plan ahead and have an idea of your meals during the week. As much as we try to cook all of our meals on Sunday and consume them throughout the week, we don’t know what’s going to happen in these 7 days: we might go out for dinner, we might have an event, we might be super busy with meetings all day… so it’s impossible to use all of our food containers perfectly. The key in this situation is having balance, being moderate, and trying not to obsess about it. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “I think a lack of preparation can be one of the biggest downfalls in attaining the results that you want and really staying the course of eating healthy most of the time.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber talks about the idea of meal prep and how we shouldn’t try to control every single meal we will eat during the week, but instead just planning a little;
- Stop trying to plan so much: you might want to go out for dinner during the week or something comes up and you get busy, it’s all good;
- Amber explains that although she plans her meals in advance, there is always back up meals in the freezer, or emergency meals;
- It’s also important to look at your schedule and see what your day looks like, and then plan your meals accordingly.

When it comes to weight loss, there are a lot of key aspects that are responsible for someone achieving a goal or not. Some people – and that is a modern debate – believe that it all comes down to calories in, calories out, counting calories, and eating less than your ‘maintenance level’. Science, however, has been proving that metabolism and the many signs our bodies give us also play an important role.
This episode of The Wellness Revolution is all about metabolism and simple guidelines to weight loss. Join Amber and Dr. Jade Teta as they dive in on a very complete guide about this topic. You will learn how you can start to listen to your metabolism through some of its signs (like cravings and sleep issues), how to balance eating habits and exercising, how to measure weight loss, as well as a detailed explanation on hormones.
Wellness Quote
- “Wouldn’t it be nice if you knew the language that your metabolism speaks? Because it doesn’t speak English, it speaks metabolism and people do not know how to speak that language. Before you understand how to work with your metabolism, you need to understand what it is saying and how it is speaking to you.” – Dr. Jade Teta
Key Highlights
- Why diet books containing all kinds of meal plans, food lists, and recipes don’t usually work;
- How the average person can start to understand metabolism and “speak” the metabolism language, understanding and identifying its signs;
- Attaining weight loss is not hard, what is hard is maintaining weight loss;
- General guidelines when it comes to balancing eating and exercising – it’s important to start slow when beginning to exercise (move more) daily;
- How to start when trying to lose weight – first steps, key steps, and best exercises and meals options;
- The best ways to measure weight loss (not stepping on the scale);
- A complete guide on menopause and hormonal health (differences between estrogen and progesterone).

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber shares a personal story when she got caught up in old and limiting habits about dieting. It’s interesting to realize that the inner work and the mindset work never end: even after many years of not being a victim to restrictive diets, people who work as coaches and as mentors still have the same feelings of shame and guilt as their clients sometimes. We’re all a work in progress.
When working towards a goal and doing our best to lose weight and feel healthier, there are a lot of lifestyle changes that we need to do. But a great part of this equation also comes from our heads. If we keep telling ourselves old stories, if we keep repeating old habits, and if we keep creating limiting beliefs about what we can do, no change will happen. Having a positive and fresh mindset is the key to actual change.
Wellness Quote
- “So much about the transformation, so much about the journey – not only for myself but what I see in clients – is the mindset piece of it.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber explains that so much about the transformation and the change that we are pursuing relies on mindset;
- The real work never ends: we’ll always need to keep reminding ourselves that old traps don’t work anymore;
- Old thought patterns will always be present in our heads, but it’s important to replace them for new ones;
- Amber tells the listeners a personal story about when she felt guilt after a weekend;
- Mindset shifts are a constant work and a lifetime event.

Love and relationships can sometimes be a reflection of our own perception about ourselves and how we deal with companionship. The way we romantically interact and connect with other human beings says a lot about us: our positive aspects but also our fears and insecurities. When the person looking to find love and have this connection is over 40 years old, for example, there’s an additional layer to be taken into account.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber answers to the question if women over 40 can find love. Talking a lot about her experiences and her background with marriage, relationships, and divorce, Amber highlights the importance of loving yourself first, dropping the fear of being alone, and trying to recognize and be aware of abandonment issues that may or may have not existed your whole life.
Wellness Quote
- “In order to really find satisfying love and true unconditional love you have to unconditionally love yourself first and you have to be completely ok with being alone.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights

- Amber talks about her experience and her personal story on divorce and how it helped her with her self-healing journey;
- Amber shares a great piece of advice for you looking to find love – at any age.

Everything that happens serves us a purpose. That is one of the mantras that our guest today so intensely tries to pass to others. In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber interviews Michael Unbroken. Having gone through many different childhood traumas and abuse, Michael tells a little bit about his work, helping trauma survivors find the courage and the willingness to own their life.
Michael also talks about how the worst experiences during childhood can actually teach us something and help us become more conscious and brave adults. When we let traumas from the past regulate our life, telling us how we’re supposed to behave and act in certain situations, we are giving our power away and outsourcing our happiness to something that is not even here anymore. Tune in to learn more!

Going from one diet to another is really the way the majority of women try to lose weight. If nothing is happening within weeks, or even days, and no progress is seen in the mirror in the short term, something with this diet is wrong, right? Well, that’s not actually how our bodies work and definitely not how diets work. It takes a little bit of time for adaptation, regulation, and all we need to have is patience.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber dives deep into this concept of patience and consistency, giving you the 3 most common pitfalls that are usually the reasons why women don’t get weight loss results. For the most part, we think that it is all a matter of food, meal timing, or carbohydrates, but the mindset around weight loss is equally, if not more, important. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “So many times we think that weight loss really is about what we’re putting on our plate and that is true. That is a piece of it. But ultimately it comes down to your ability to stay consistent with the big dial-movers.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Our impatience and the fact we don’t stay consistent with any diet is the main reason of why we don’t see results;
- Amber talks about the 3 most common factors that keep women stuck in the same cycle of frustration with their fat loss goals.

More important than healing trauma, is not letting it define you. When we go through traumatic experiences in life, that very moment (or moments) can be seen as the beginning of a path full of fear, anxiety, and desperation or as an opportunity to learn, grow, and evolve as a person. And this idea can be applied into the everyday life: everyone has problems and tribulations, but we can always learn from it.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber welcomes David Solomon, a.k.a. David Powertalk, to talk about how to deal with traumas, how to create a new mindset to deal with traumas, and how to transform pain into power. David shares a great part of his past when he had to deal with difficult moments in his personal life but also how he was able to look at things differently, and treat those moments as gifts. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “I was able to turn that pain into power by not allowing it to break me.” – David Solomon
Key Highlights
- David talks about the traumatic events he went through and the lessons he took from those situations;
- Sometimes what we think is the worst thing that could have happened to us is actually a gift from a higher power;
- David highlights the importance of taking action always and not just believing that we are capable of doing things;
- Mistakes don’t define us; What does is our capacity and willingness to learn from it.

Everyone has experienced trauma at some point in their lives. It could be a small, unconscious trauma or a big, impactful one, but either way it’s there. What we do with that old memory, and how long it takes until we realize it’s doing us no good, will depend on each person. People can go through their entire lives without noticing it, being aware of it, and healing it. Are you willing to unfold the memories? In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber has the privilege to talk to Gabby Bernstein about her upcoming book, Happy Days. In this book, she discusses traumas, how they appear based on the triggers of our daily lives, and how to take back control of it all. Our health – not only mental health, but physical – can be affected by hidden wounds and not addressing it can be a problem. Gabby also talks about her writing process and how her own story influenced her purpose.
Wellness Quote
- “Ultimately, those experiences in our lives that were seemingly insignificant were tremendously impactful to our belief system, to how we perceive ourselves, to our nervous system, to the ways that we show up in relationships, to our attachment styles. So, every human has experienced trauma in some form and there’s absolutely no way that you could be alive at this time and say that you haven’t.” – Gabby Bernstein
Key Highlights
- Gabby shares the moment she was aware of her trauma and how the inspiration to write came from there;
- Trauma can be a deep source of feeling unworthy;
- The Mind Body Connection – how our physical health is hugely impacted by the hidden and unhealed traumas;
- Gabby explains the concept of Internal Family System Therapy (we have multiple parts of who we are);
- It’s important to identify the triggers that many times go unnoticed to take back control;
- Gabby shares important advice on parenting and reconnection.

Weight loss is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ process. For each person wanting and needing to go through this journey, it will require patience, resilience, but most of all, a unique approach. Some people find it very easy to take an ‘intuitive eating’ attitude, some people find it very helpful to count calories, monitor macros, and weigh food. And some people find freedom precisely on a more controlled and guided diet modality, but the significance of achieving a healthy relationship with food, and getting off the diet train, is the message here.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Molly Carmel talks about the effects of sugar on our brain and bodies, and the incredible results we can achieve by ditching sugar for good. Molly also dives deep into the more serious consequences of failing a diet and that this sense of failing can cause trauma. Having dealt with eating disorders and having gone through her own transformation, Molly helps people to find what works in each case.
Wellness Quote
- “We didn’t cause all the problems that we have but they’re ours to solve. Understanding the severity of this might help us women, men, every single person in diet trauma not be so susceptible to going back” – Molly Carmel
Key Highlights
- Molly talks about how she knew from a young age that she was meant to do what she does now, having gone through the same problems;
- Molly shares a time of her life when she was taken to a nutritionist, but she knew that that was not the problem (it’s not always so simple);
- Molly’s experience doing a detox by following a paleo diet;
- Molly explains the connection between failing a diet and suffering a trauma – even if we think there’s no correlation;
- Sometimes being moderate about the consumption of certain foods is the solution for some people;

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber has an open conversation with Gabrielle Stone. Gabrielle tells her story of abandonment and betrayal and how these old wounds propelled her to write two books and help other women in the same situation of vulnerability and confusion. We oftentimes hear the advice, "love yourself"… but sometimes a broken heart simply doesn’t know how.
Gabrielle also shares a lot about her trips through Europe, which emotions came to surface during these trips, and how she had to face old ghosts, deal with unhealed traumas, and take a deep look into her soul to let the healing begin. Through these deep processes of self-development, Gabrielle was able to write two books highlighting the importance of self-love, worthiness, and making ourselves a priority.

The way we think about ourselves is crucial to determine how much we have of self-worth and self-love. Thought patterns are deeply connected with how we see ourselves, what we see in the mirror, and how we believe in our own strength. However, these same thought patterns did not come out of nowhere; they are a consequence of the external opinions and impressions we received during childhood.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber talks about the importance of keeping working on ourselves and on this concept of self-love. Amber shares simple steps to get into this journey, highlighting that change only comes with awareness, forgiveness, and a sense of enoughness – that needs to be practiced constantly. Only this way, we will begin loving; not who we want to be, but who we are. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “How we view ourselves and how we view the world is really deep rooted and dictated in our subconscious.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- The current combination of the thought patterns we have are the result of the combination of experiences, impressions, and feedbacks we had during childhood;
- Inner work is a full time job. The more you practice ‘feeling enough’, the more you realize it is actually true;
- Real change begins with having awareness of how we are talking to ourselves, how we are thinking about ourselves, and how unnecessary it is to blame ourselves;
- The importance of affirmations as a way to internalize thoughts of worthiness.

Intermittent fasting has become really popular over the years due to the great benefits that it brings to our health. If done the right way, the practice can reduce inflammation in the body, reduce blood sugar levels, and help with weight loss, in addition to being an option for busy people.

In this episode, Amber opens up the discussion on intermittent fasting, sharing her experience with this method, highlighting its benefits, and getting clear on all the myths. Intermittent fasting is a way of eating in a scheduled manner and yes, it can help with weight loss because it reduces the ‘eating window’ that we have in a day, but it’s important to understand that it’s no magic pill.

The fitness industry for years has disseminated several “rules” that needed to be followed for people to achieve weight loss or muscle gain results. With so many rules – that many times contradicted each other – losing weight specifically turned into a difficult thing to do for many people. Training or doing cardio while fasted, is one of these key ideas that has become popular recently, but still causes, to this day, many questions.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber dives deep into the concept of fasted cardio and training. Amber shares that these options have been working for her, but that doesn’t make it a universal truth. Everyone is different so everyone should look for solutions that make sense and are enjoyable. If fasting in the mornings or doing fasted exercise makes you feel good, go for it!
Wellness Quote
- “I think we have a tendency to get caught up in a lot of these rules and we miss a lot of the simple stuff.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber talks about her experience with training in the morning and training in a fasted mode; Although it can be beneficial for weight loss, it’s not a universal truth and people should only do it if they enjoy doing it;
- Amber shares that combining interval training (HIIT training), fasted training, and intermittent fasting was the best option for her to get results and feel good.

Weight loss goals are, oftentimes, measured by numbers on a scale. People who are trying to lose weight tend to get fixated on the ups and downs of what the scale shows us, which is understandable, but not recommended. The body weight measured by the scale is affected by multiple variables, such as water retention, quality of sleep, hydration, and gut health. Should we really make the scale a priority?
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber speaks about the importance of taking into account the many other ways of knowing if we are on the right track. These “non-scale” victories are really what keep us going when it comes to weight loss journeys, and they can tell us – with more accuracy and less discomfort – if we are following the course that is likely to result in success. Tune in!
Wellness Quote
- “When you’re looking for a truly sustainable lifestyle where you’re no longer dieting, consistency really is the name of the game.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber highlights the importance of forgetting the numbers on the scale and trying not to quantify our weight loss results by these same numbers. Sustainable weight loss should derive from lifestyle changes and should result in satisfaction on the long term.

Just as developing mindset changes, creating a physical change requires small actions, little by little. You can decide to make a healthy recipe for your next meal, go for a 20 minute walk by the end of the day, get a light workout in between your next two calls… these are all small actions that eventually will bring big results. Transformations don’t happen overnight, but making a different decision is as simple as that.
In this episode, Amber has a conversation with Carol Elizabeth. Carol works as an entrepreneur and mentor, working with driven women who need and want more of life. Carol talks about the importance of internalizing the idea that losing weight and getting more fit should be an inner goal, not an external demand and that the way to make fitness easy is by making it sustainable.

Empowerment is something that is born from the inside, from the day-to-day actions, internal thoughts, and self-talks. We also need to practice feeling empowered, happy, and joyful without any external event happening to us. It must be an organic and internal state of being. It takes time to train ourselves, but that’s an important part of feeling like we are the ones who run our lives, and not anything or anyone.

There is no doubt that when we think about sustainable diet, we think about the quantity of food. Eating too many calories on a daily basis will eventually lead to weight gain and that’s pretty much unquestionable. What most people don’t take too much into account is the quality of food: processed foods and items that come inside of a box are oftentimes the villain of weight loss, and should be considered.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber explains the benefits of adding into your routine food options that are more natural, healthier, and less industrialized. Not only are the more nutrient-dense foods better for our health, they provide a deeper sensation of satisfaction which, on its own, will make you stop wanting to snack all the time. Tune in to learn more on how you can make these changes happen!

- How calorie deficit is one piece of the whole puzzle of losing weight and keeping the weight off;

When we improve sleep quality, we improve our life.

You will listen to a complete guide on how sleep affects hormones, weight loss, hunger, self-control, and even motivation.

The general diet culture imposes such a high level of restriction and commitment, that what was supposed to be an easy process, becomes a nightmare for a lot of people. It’s hard enough for someone who wants to lose a few pounds, so imagine what it’s like for girls dealing with eating disorders and, at the same time, facing a certain pressure from society to “change” and lose weight in order to be “worthy”.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber welcomes Holly Toronto to discuss why women are taught from a very young age that their bodies are not ok the way they are and, for that reason, something needs to be changed. The roots of these situations are discussed here, as well as, Holly’s current approach with intuitive eating and how she was able to be in peace with her body – teaching others to do the same. Tune in!

For every decision we make, there’s a reason behind it. It’s not always in plain sight, but if we dive deep enough into our emotions, it’s going to be there. In this episode, Amber highlights the importance of “finding your true why” and identifying the reasons that caused you to make the decisions you’ve made and to take the course of action you’ve taken. The act of changing begs the question: “Why do I want to change?”
Amber also takes you through her own personal “why’s” and how her childhood lessons ended up playing a role on her current journey. To wrap it up, you will be able to follow along a practical but very simple exercise on discovering your “why”. With 7 steps, this exercise hopefully will give you insight about your present time.

There are a few lessons that women learn as teenagers and early adults that stick with them for a long time. The notions about sex, sexuality, and physical connections are in this category: some women are told from a young age that sex is somehow wrong, or immoral, or inadequate and they’re also taught to repress sexual feelings, as well as, to feel super vigilant about their bodies and what they can represent for partners.
In this episode, Amber welcomes Dr. Celeste Holbrook to talk about how the negative messages and limiting beliefs women get from a young age: affecting their perceptions about their own physical appearance, self-trust, confidence, and their sex life overall. Dr. Celeste explains that sex – especially for women – is more than a ‘performance;’ it’s a healthy moment of pleasure and should be seen that way.
Wellness Quote
- “When we can move from ‘sex is a performance’ to ‘sex is an experience of pleasure and connection’ we can start to move beyond the idea that our bodies are the linchpin to what makes sex good.” – Dr. Celeste Holbrook
Key Highlights
- Dr. Celeste explains that negative sex messages and restrictive beliefs hold onto our bodies all the way through adulthood;
- Sex is more than our bodies; it’s also about the physical sensations and physical connections that it gives us;
- Dr. Celeste dives deep into the concept of Spontaneous arousal vs. Responsive arousal – and the differences between them;
- How our sex life affects sleep;
- Dr. Celeste shares some good advice for women to feel good about sex, their sexuality, and their relationships;

One of the easiest consequences to happen when you are following a diet is to fall off track. Weekends usually are the nightmare of someone trying to eat healthy during the week, but cannot control cravings on Saturdays and Sundays. This is the natural result of one thing: a super restrictive diet philosophy. We’ve all been there but, as always, there is a simple solution.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber talks about how to overcome a case of the “EFF-ITS”, which means that moment when you give up a whole week of eating moderately because you gave in momentarily to what is seen as a “bad food”. Amber explains that in order to avoid these moments of shame and guilt, we first need to transform a super restrictive diet into a more sustainable one.
Wellness Quote
- “What I found in my personal experience is that ‘binge mentality’ at its core really comes from being too restrictive in your everyday life.” – Amber Shaw
Key Highlights
- Amber explains that binge eating and feeling guilty about not eating SUPER healthy comes from having a restrictive diet in the first place;
- Eating healthy “most of the time” is better than “at all times”;
- It’s important to identify where, during the week, you are being too repressive and restrictive with your eating habits.

It’s really common to have light anxiety about life situations, work activities, family, or general daily tasks.

Join us in this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast as Amber and Sarah McDevitt talk about the power of meditation, the power of paying attention to the present, and how anxiety is really just a manifestation of our worries with the future. Many of us suffer more in imagination than in reality. The reason that meditation is so important is that it brings us back to here, back to this moment. Tune in to learn more!

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber talks with Katherine Mann, who works as a Weight Loss and Life Coach, about the ups and downs of the life of someone who really wants to lose weight and can’t seem to find the right way to do it.

Sometimes we tell ourselves that we don’t like a certain type of food just because we think it is “bad” for us and it doesn’t fit into our diet; if you think carefully, it might not even be true. Our minds are in defense mode when it comes to our nutrition that we end up giving up all the foods we enjoyed (and still do!) just to reach a number on the scale. Have you ever given this a thought?
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber encourages you to think about this and really make an inventory of all the foods you abandoned for the sake of a new diet. Tune in to find out the 3 special tips to implement into your routine that will make you more mindful and less stressed about food – especially now with the holidays around the corner!

The definition of Power is objectively connected to material things, almost always associated with money, possessions, and wealth; what most people don’t know is that we can all manifest and implement Authentic Power in our lives. Authentic Power essentially means that we are free to create, attract, and envision what’s aligned with our higher self and it can bring more benefits than expected.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber welcomes Lena Franklin and Lena explains the concept of Authentic Power in detail. An important aspect of this concept is that it’s inclusive and not selfish, because in its core it means abundance for everybody. Lena also shares her experience with meditation, how important it is to ground ourselves when life asks us to do so, and the differences between Masculine vs. Feminine energy. Tune in to learn how to attract this liveliness behavior into your life.

The act of living in the present moment is a skill that needs to be worked on constantly. When we have anxious thoughts and feelings, it’s almost certain that we are stepping away from the present and stepping into the future – without even being there yet. On the other hand, when we are in a depressed state, having depressed episodes, it’s almost certain we are back to the past, reliving frustrations and traumas.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution Podcast, Amber welcomes Tori Gordon to talk about all things anxiety, living in the present moment, the benefits of breathwork, and easy tricks to leave an anxious state of mind. Tori explains that we all have the power to move our attention off of something and that is the key to calm our minds and our bodies at the same time. Tori also talks about her experience leaving behind a corporate job to follow her inner voice.

In this episode, Amber discusses the topic of co-parenting after a divorce. Amber takes us back to when she was the child of the story facing her parents’ divorce and seeing their eventual friendship. She explains why it was good for her and her siblings to witness the harmonious relationship between their father, mother, and stepfather.
Amber parallels this exact situation to her own divorce, sharing how she has been able to co-parent her kids and also create a relationship between her current boyfriend and ex-husband. Although easier said than done, Amber advises anyone who’s going through the same kind of situation to try to make things work with everyone involved because that is what will help the children the most.

Our wellness journey is not only made of nutrition protocols, fitness classes, and what the scale tells you daily. It also requires a growth mindset (a.k.a. stepping away from limiting beliefs and starting to believe in ourselves more). On the other hand, a fixed mindset and thoughts like “I don’t have what it takes” or “I can’t do this” can really hold us back and prevent us from moving forward.
In today’s episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast, Amber talks with Kasey Orvidas about growth mindset and the role that mindset plays on our wellness journey. Kasey talks briefly about her background with exercising and how the psychology aspect of fitness and health is as important as the physical one. Tune in to learn more about what you can do today to empower yourself, get your mindset right, and start walking towards your goals with confidence and conviction.

If you have been adopting different restrictive diets over the last few years, you know how hard it is to find food freedom. Every little food item, of every little meal becomes this huge decision of whether it’s good or bad, if you can or can’t have it, or if you deserve or don’t deserve it. All of a sudden, we turn into slaves of our own eating choices: measuring everything, counting all the macros, and worrying too much.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution podcast, Amber shares a simple list of 3 actions that lead to food freedom. With these 3 steps you will learn to rewire the way you think about food, reframe the notions of “good food” and “bad food”, and learn to give yourself some grace. It is going to be uncomfortable and it is going to require some inner work but, in the end, you will see a revolution in your lifestyle. Tune in mammas!

Meditation is a great practice that helps, not only our mental state, but our physical wellness too. It is a well circulated habit, which has become really popular through social media, and the best thing is that everyone can do it! Despite being super simple, the act of meditating can have the opposite effect: causing people to feel anxiety and frustration because they think that they’re not doing it right.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber breaks down what meditation is all about and how you can incorporate it in your routine. She highlights all the benefits that this practice is responsible for, how it helps you connect with yourself, calm your thoughts, and reduce your cortisol levels. Not only that, meditation also gives our brain a rest from the daily activities, making room for feelings like gratitude and serenity.

When we are invested in making changes and adopting healthy habits, we always know WHAT needs to be done, but we don’t know WHY. Finding your why, a.k.a. the reason behind such change; is going to give you perspective, is going to help you when you feel like giving up, and is ultimately going to take you further. The WHY ends up being the compass that will guide you towards your goal.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Jessica Gunn shares her why, and what motivated her to transform her habits and aim for a fitness lifestyle. Jessica shares that it is way easier to start your transformation by doing little challenges with yourself, focusing on how you feel instead of how you look, and always remembering the person you no longer want to be. Jessica also talks about her training methods, explaining that lifting weights is a matter of enriching her life and that’s what she tries to pass along to her coaching clients.

Pilates is a fitness modality that creates not only muscle strength and muscle endurance, but also helps you with flexibility. Pilates is also a good strength based workout that develops your core, low back, and all the abdominal muscles. It puts your whole body in balance, assisting you in other workouts, like strength training and yoga.
Pilates is also known for working the whole body: there’s no muscle that goes unnoticed when you do it.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber welcomes Leslie Logan to talk about all things related to Pilates and its benefits. Leslie, who is a Mindset Coach & Certified Pilates Teacher with her own method called OPC, explains the many advantages of Pilates, how it impacts fat loss by upping the metabolism and burning calories, and how people can incorporate Pilates and weight training into the same routine.

Have you ever considered that maybe there’s something wrong with the diet and not with you?

When you think about dieting and weightloss; chances are you instantly think you need to deprive and torture yourself, eat way less than you already eat, and completely give up foods you enjoy. This mentality will eventually lead you, not only to food obsession, but also a difficult relationship with food. The only way out of this self-abuse is creating sustainable goals while also learning about mindfulness, moderation, and how you can eat in a more intuitive way.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber sits down with Jill Coleman, founder of JillFit and creator of the Moderation365 certification, to talk about the circumstances of why some women try to lose weight for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. Jill explains that because women are always being told they need to drop a few pounds for no reason, the majority of them end up developing a compulsive and unhealthy relationship with food. Jill also shares her own story and how she was able to deal with this type of issue.

There are a few experiences in life that are pivotal moments, changing our perspective forever. Regardless of your own story, there’s no doubt that relationship break ups and divorce are two of these experiences. Although we think we have all the relationship dilemmas figured out, it’s important to know that, when it comes to two heads thinking and two hearts beating, you can only control what you can control.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber talks about her experience through divorce and how it affected her personal development journey. Looking back at our actions is part of the process of taking ownership: of the things we could have done differently and of the lessons we learned through consequences of certain actions. Although it’s a difficult event, a separation can – and will – prepare the person for the future ahead.

A proper healthy lifestyle involves many more aspects of our routine than just working out every day. In fact, this ‘I have to work out every day’ mentality can slowly become unsafe and what was meant to be enjoyable ends up being taxing. You will feel much more healthy and fit once you focus on consistency rather than perfection.
In the third episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber shares her own fitness journey. She reminds us that while the physical aspect of health is really important, our mental health actually contributes a lot to it and it should not be underestimated. Amber also highlights the benefits that practicing yoga has brought to her on a mind-body level.

What does it look like to eat food without feeling guilty about it? Learning how to balance healthy eating habits with a proper mindset around food is crucial to reach your weight loss & fat loss goals. The journey of achieving this goal is easier if it’s a sustainable one and that’s the number one reason why most people don’t achieve it.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, Amber talks about her own nutrition journey which started as a diet obsessive, always trying to restrict her food too much and not getting any good outcome from it. With the years, Amber learned that having a more integrative approach with food and making the change from the inside out is really the best way to feel good about your body and succeed at any body composition change.

Welcome to the Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw! In this opening episode, Amber shares with you how she dealt with her insecurities growing up on account of not feeling happy with her body and how that eventually led to eating disorders. Amber also shares the pivotal moment in her life where she went on a self-discovery trip and eventually had an insight on what the next steps could be for her. It is really a self-development exercise to be ok with being uncomfortable and learning from it. It is also a good thing to be afraid of pursuing a goal and taking risks because this insecurity will be the number #1 motivator to move forward. You will know that you’re on the right path if your drive and willingness are greater than your fear.

Are you over 40 and sick and tired of feeling miserable in your skin? Have you tried every single diet on the planet and nothing seems to work? Well, if you answered yes to any of these, you’re in the right place.
At 41, I found myself as a divorced single mom searching to find myself and my passion. I realized my purpose is to help women with some of the same struggles I suffered with for most of my life: yoyo dieting, hating my body, lacking confidence, and the overwhelming feeling that I would never love what I saw on the mirror. Until all that changed… I drew a line on the sand and said yes to me. I ditched all the dieting, started to heal my body from the inside out, and learned to love myself again.
In this podcast, you’ll get solutions that actually work, straight-to-the-point advice, lots of compassion, and support from a coach who actually gives a damn. Are you ready?
