  • Reasons to Stop Measuring Yourself Against “Normal”
    Apr 30 2025

    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. Tune in.

  • 6 Things to Try When Growth Gets Uncomfortable
    Apr 23 2025

    In this honest and deeply practical episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral dives headfirst into one of the most misunderstood parts of growth: discomfort. Most of us try to avoid it, but what if discomfort isn’t something to run from—but something to lean into?

    Amber shares why she believes discomfort is a muscle to be trained, not a flaw to be fixed, and how avoiding it can rob us of the peace, growth, and self-awareness we’re working so hard to reach. She explains the science behind what’s happening in the brain during discomfort, why it often shows up when we’re encountering new information or facing emotional truth, and how to tell the difference between discomfort and actual danger.

    You’ll walk away with six actionable tools to help you navigate uncomfortable moments with more clarity and resilience. From reframing discomfort as something to expect to identifying the root of what you’re feeling, staying curious, and grounding yourself when things feel overwhelming—this episode is a guide for anyone who wants to grow without burning out. Amber even shares her own recovery plan and challenges listeners to build their own.

    Tune in, take what you need, and start building your resilience—one uncomfortable moment at a time.

  • 5 Easy Moves for Big Change on Hard Days
    Apr 16 2025

    We all have days when we’re not doing great—when we're stretched thin, disconnected, or just off. Today, Amber Cabral offers a thoughtful, refreshingly real take on what to do when you’re in that space. Inspired by a friend who asked, “How are you humaning well today?” She dives into intentional, screen-free practices that help reconnect you with your health, wealth, relationships, and growth.

    From writing greeting cards and building with Legos, to making a budget, embracing analog living, or ditching paper plates to reconnect with the planet, this episode is full of ideas you may not have thought of but will definitely want to try.

    Amber also brings attention to the subtle ways digital overuse chips away at our focus and mental clarity—what neuroscientists call “digital dementia.” Her gentle challenge? Put down the phone, pick up a book, and start living with more intention.

    If you’ve been feeling off and find yourself questioning, this episode is your toolkit. You’ll walk away with simple, doable steps to support your well-being—no perfection, just progress.

  • Does Self-Help Empower You or Keep You Helpless?
    Apr 9 2025

    We love talking about the problem. Social media is flooded with content that calls out toxic behaviors, names the struggles, and makes us feel seen. But here’s the issue: Do we actually know what to do about them?

    In this episode, Amber Cabral holds up the mirror and challenges us to stop repeating, resharing, and rehashing the same problems without seeking solutions. She dives into why constant affirmation without action keeps us stuck, how social media profits from our struggles without offering real growth, and how to filter out content that drains you vs. content that actually helps. Amber shares a simple mindset switch to move from awareness to change, along with a practical strategy for handling negative feedback without spiraling.

    If you’re ready for real solutions—not just talk—this episode is for you. Tune in now and start making real change.

  • Performative DEI vs. Real Change—How to Tell the Difference
    Mar 26 2025

    DEI is under fire—companies are making bold statements, boycotts are trending, and it’s harder than ever to tell what’s real and what’s just PR.

    In this episode, Amber Cabral pulls back the curtain on what’s actually happening behind the scenes of corporate DEI. She breaks down how companies are responding to the rollbacks—those making a show of cutting it, those actively standing up for inclusion, and those staying silent while still continuing the work. Amber explains why corporate statements mean nothing without action, why many boycotts and general strikes fail to drive real change, and how to make informed, value-driven decisions with your actions. Plus, she shares three key questions to help you spot performative DEI and ensure your support goes to companies that truly align with your beliefs.

    If you’re tired of empty corporate promises and want to create real impact, this episode is for you. Tune in now to cut through the noise and hold companies accountable.

  • Are Your Boundaries Helping or Harming You?
    Mar 19 2025

    Boundaries are limits you set for yourself, not expectations of others. They are meant to protect your well-being, not create an unrealistic “perfect bubble.”

    In this episode, Amber highlights how important it is to understand that boundaries are personal and not something we impose on others. We often think that upholding boundaries means avoiding conflict or forcing others to change, but Amber makes it clear that it's about protecting ourselves and taking responsibility for our own needs.

    She talks about how setting clear boundaries can be challenging, especially if you're used to over-giving or letting relationships drain you. Listen in to learn more about how setting boundaries can help your well-being, leading to creating a more fulfilled life.
