    I listen devotedly to Amber’s podcast and I can genuinely say: it’s changed my life. Not only does Amber discuss health and wellbeing, but she also highlights the misconceptions and harmful beliefs that hurt all of humankind. This podcast is inspirational! I leave every episode more grounded, aware, and comforted. I’ve recommended this podcast to every friend I have and ALL of my clients!

  • Invaluable

    I’ve been listening for 3 years now. Amber, you got me through my post partum. I was so alone, so I’d listen to a podcast of yours while rocking my baby to sleep, feeling just a little less alone and a lot less crazy for feeling that way. I’m glad you’re currently on the track to feeling better. I’ll always feel gratitude towards you and will be rooting for you and your family.

    Your episode on GNM being a cult has been life-changing and has given important context and perspective to so many in the holistic community. Thank you for shaking things up with the truth about this movement and its dark history. There’s another adjacent cult out there in a similar community that would be awesome for you to cover one day. Thank you for having the courage. More episodes this like!
