Amber emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with your present self… and not postponing peace, joy, or wellness for a “maybe someday” thought. So whether you feel stuck in the loop of endless hustle (as a badge of honor) or overthinking in life, this episode is for you. As Amber puts it: You can't hustle or half-ass your way to wellness.Don’t miss this one. Tune in—pause, re-evaluate, and be intentional. It’s time to actually choose yourself on this journey, not after it.  www.humaningwellpodcast.com/Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabralLinkedIn | @ambercabralFacebook | @amber.cabralX | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.socialWatch Amber’s TED TALK here.You can purchase Amber's books from the retailer of your choice here: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable CultureSay More About That: ...And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and OthersHuman(ing) Well is produced by EPYC Media Network

Today, Amber Cabral opens up about a personal moment of self-doubt. After a hurtful (and tearful) situation on a random Friday afternoon, Amber begins to question whether her work—especially the Human(ing) Well concept—even matters. But what follows is an uncanny moment of alignment as a keynote invitation for a conference with over 200 attendees every year. It’s the kind of full-circle clarity that can only show up when you’re inches from giving up.Through her vulnerable and authentic storytelling, she reminds us that doubt doesn't mean you're wrong—it just means you're human. Amber unpacks practical tools for navigating those low moments: movement, manifestation, and mindset reset. [Disclaimer: This isn’t a pep talk.] So, if you're building something meaningful and wondering if it even matters—this episode is for you. www.humaningwellpodcast.com/Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabralLinkedIn | @ambercabralFacebook | @amber.cabralX | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.socialWatch Amber’s TED TALK here.You can purchase Amber's books from the retailer of your choice here: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable CultureSay More About That: ...And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and OthersHuman(ing) Well is produced by EPYC Media Network

In this episode, Amber Cabral gets real about what Human(ing) Well actually looks like—and spoiler: it’s not about being emotionally perfect or endlessly unbothered. It’s about choosing courage over convenience, boundaries over approval, and calling folks out (or in) when basic decency gets skipped.Through a seemingly small (but telling) moment in an elevator, Amber unpacks how true humanity shows up in everyday choices—especially the uncomfortable ones. She explores the difference between niceness and integrity, silence and care, and emotional regulation and emotional avoidance—it isn’t the absence of anger, but knowing how to channel it.This episode is a call-in for anyone who’s ever stayed quiet to avoid conflict, struggled with how to speak up, or questioned whether their version of “wellness” included the people around them. Amber makes it clear: living with intention means being accountable for how we show up—for ourselves and for others.If you’ve been wondering what it actually means to be a good human in a messy world, this one’s for you. www.humaningwellpodcast.com/Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabralLinkedIn | @ambercabralFacebook | @amber.cabralX | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.socialWatch Amber’s TED TALK here.You can purchase Amber's books from the retailer of your choice here: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable CultureSay More About That: ...And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and OthersHuman(ing) Well is produced by EPYC Media Network

Today, Amber Cabral invites us to challenge one of the most deeply ingrained myths in our culture: the idea of “normal.” From personal experience, financial uncertainty, and real conversations with her mentees and clients, Amber explores how chasing normal—or trying to be liked, accepted, or conventional—can quietly derail us from the lives we actually want.She draws a powerful parallel between investing in the stock market and investing in our lives: both come with risk, and both are distorted by fear and stigma. Whether you’re feeling like you’ve fallen off your “plan” or navigating family pressure, judgment, or shame, Amber encourages you to ask the bigger questions: Who is this performance for? What fears are holding me hostage? What would I do if none of those fears were real?This episode offers journal prompts, thoughtful reframes, and gentle but honest truths about the stories we’ve accepted as “success,” “adulthood,” or “the right way”—and what it takes to unlearn them.Sometimes, the most liberating move is the one that looks nothing like the plan.
