Episode notes

"I think in our culture, we don't do endings very well. Like it's usually like failure or like you said, it just becomes like complete burnout," she says. "And that's when they're spread so thin and it's like, but if it brings you no joy and you're so miserable, why are you continuing it? So I actually did have that." She talks about selling her group therapy practice to focus on a passion project.

Amber Hawley is a licensed therapist and lifestyle strategist who works with entrepreneurial individuals and couples with the emotional side of business. She is the owner of a therapy practice in Silicon Valley, host of The Easily Distracted Entrepreneur and Couples Fix podcasts, wife, mom of three kids, and Marvel movie super fan.

Amber's journey from working in the tech industry to becoming a therapist is truly inspiring. Her passion for people and building meaningful relationships was at the center of every decision she made. We delved into topics such as work-life balance, mental health, and personal growth. It's amazing to see how her passion has translated into not just one, but two successful podcasts that are focused on helping others. Our discussion on work-life balance and mental health was also very relevant, especially given the current pandemic situation.

This episode was an insightful and engaging conversation that I'm sure you'll enjoy just as much as I did.
