Episode notes

This week, Ash is joined by bestselling author and speaker Amber Rae for a raw and inspiring conversation about self-discovery, love, and the courage to live authentically. Amber opens up about leaving a seemingly perfect marriage that lacked true connection, her bold move to Mexico, and the experiences that shaped her latest memoir, Lovable. Her story reminds us that growth often comes through messy, nonlinear choices and facing truths we’d rather avoid.

Together, Ash and Amber explore how childhood coping mechanisms and societal pressures shape our relationships and decisions. They discuss the pull between meeting others’ expectations and honoring our own needs, and why intuition is essential in reconciling past and present versions of ourselves. They also highlight how transparency and honesty can transform both personal and professional connections.

The conversation dives into attraction, compatibility, and the ways past traumas impact adult relationships. Ash and Amber reflect on conflict resolution, daily routines, and recognizing incompatibility as acts of courage and growth. Amber also shares how writing and reflection help heal generational patterns, offering tools to break cycles and create more fulfilling relationships.
