In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral gets candid about her ongoing journey with visibility, business, authenticity, and change. After previously sharing her discomfort with being more visible, Amber returns with an honest update on what she's learned from simply showing up, sharing more freely, and trusting her natural ability to teach, speak, and connect without scripting every moment. Amber talks about why she has started posting more casually online, what she's learning from live radio and real-time conversations, and why she believes her strongest work happens when she's present rather than overly prepared. She also reflects on rereading and narrating her upcoming book, How to Be a Good Human, and how revisiting her own words reminded her of lessons she had already learned but needed to hear again. This episode is ultimately about trusting your own expertise, letting go of perfection, and allowing your work to evolve as your life evolves.  📘 Amber's Books: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/  🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch   Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral builds on her popular episode, 24: Get Grounded: How “You Can Have Whatever You Want”, and gets specific about the habits and practices that have helped her move closer to the things she wants in life. Amber shares why she writes her goals and plans down in extreme detail, how guarding what she consumes protects her mindset, and why deliberately scheduling time to work toward your goals matters even when you don't see immediate results. Most importantly, she explains why preparation is part of manifestation: when an opportunity finally arrives, you need to be ready to actually handle it. From documenting ideas years before they became reality to intentionally curating the music, media, conversations, and information she consumes, Amber offers a practical look at what it means to prepare for the life you're asking for. If you have big goals but aren't sure what to do beyond simply thinking about them, this episode will help you turn desire into clarity, preparation, action, and readiness. ▶️ Episode 24: Get Grounded: How “You Can Have Whatever You Want”:https://youtu.be/HmAbllVbodg?si=fMIw0DzAOhscBZZ8  📘 Amber's Books: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/  🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch   Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral breaks down the systems and habits that help her manage a full life while still making room for rest, relationships, health, and what actually matters. Her answer isn't simply "work harder." It's about building better infrastructure around your time, energy, and responsibilities. Amber walks through eight practical strategies she uses to protect her time and stay effective, from putting everything on her calendar and paying for support to setting non-negotiables, renegotiating deadlines, protecting restorative time, taking action instead of ruminating, eliminating unnecessary time drains, and being highly specific when asking for help. This episode is for anyone trying to balance a demanding career, business, relationships, personal goals, and self-care without constantly feeling like something is falling through the cracks. Amber's approach is ultimately about being more intentional with your most valuable resource: your time. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx   Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

What happens when the life you built no longer works the way it used to? In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral gets vulnerable about navigating a major personal and professional pivot in real time. She reflects on what it means to evolve a creative project, step into greater visibility, and embrace change even when the next version of life feels uncomfortable. Amber explores why pivoting is often less about not knowing what to do and more about facing the fear that comes with being seen in a new way. She shares how changes in business, social media, AI, and the way people discover expertise have forced her to reconsider how she shows up publicly, while wrestling with the tension between wanting impact and wanting privacy. Through an honest conversation with her best friend Erin, Amber unpacks the discomfort of leaving a comfortable season behind, the fear of taking up too much space, and the pressure many high achievers feel to stay small, humble, and easy to digest. She challenges the idea that growth always means chasing something "bigger, better, faster, stronger" and instead asks a deeper question: what does the next version of your life require from you? 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx   Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber explores the hidden cost of constantly operating at your maximum capacity. Through personal stories, including recovering from a colonoscopy, struggling to let someone else put away her laundry, and encouraging a close friend to stop trying to do everything himself, she makes the case that not everything deserves your best effort. Amber explains why so many of us confuse excellence with exhaustion, how perfectionism quietly steals our peace, and why learning to delegate, rest, and embrace "good enough" can actually make us more effective where it matters most. She reminds us that living at 110% every day isn't sustainable, and that protecting your energy is one of the healthiest decisions you can make. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

How many decisions are you still honoring simply because you made them a long time ago? In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral challenges the belief that changing your mind is a sign of weakness, inconsistency, or failure. Instead, she argues that the willingness to rethink a decision in light of new information is one of the clearest signs of growth. Amber explores why so many of us stay committed to jobs, relationships, responsibilities, and identities that no longer fit. She explains how the pressure to appear consistent can keep us stuck long after we've outgrown a decision, and why we often make it unnecessarily difficult for other people to change their minds, too. You'll learn how to distinguish healthy growth from avoidance, why changing your mind isn't the same as being flaky, and how to create relationships where honesty is valued more than consistency. Amber also offers practical reflection questions to help you identify the decisions you've outgrown and the conversations you may need to have next. Reflection Questions: What's one decision you've outgrown but haven't updated out loud yet?  Where have you made it costly for someone else to change their mind in front of you? 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral closes out her friendship series with an honest conversation about what happens when friendships end. She shares personal stories of being ghosted, losing friends unexpectedly, discovering painful truths after a friendship ended, and making the difficult decision to walk away from relationships herself. Amber explores why friendship endings can trigger embarrassment, grief, abandonment fears, and questions about your own self-worth. She also challenges the way many people end friendships through silence, vague accusations, passive distance, or conflict designed to force the other person out. Her position is clear: if a friendship matters, it deserves an honest and emotionally responsible ending whenever possible. Moreover, Amber shares the qualities she now looks for in healthy friendships, including mutual respect, honest communication, open-heartedness, emotional safety, and the ability to tell each other hard truths. You’ll learn why ghosting can leave people carrying false stories about themselves, how to communicate when a friendship no longer works, when it is time to stop chasing closure, and how to choose friends who bring out the best in you.

What do you do when someone you love disappears without an explanation? In this deeply personal episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral explores one of the most difficult and misunderstood parts of friendship: the seasons when someone goes silent. Instead of asking whether the friendship is over, Amber invites us to ask a different question: What if they're simply surviving something we can't see? Through the story of a close friend she hasn't spoken to in years after his mother's health declined, Amber reflects on grief, empathy, emotional capacity, and the courage it takes to leave the door open without demanding an explanation. She also shares her own experience of withdrawing from friendships after losing her father, offering a vulnerable reminder that sometimes silence isn't rejection. It's the only way someone knows how to make it through the day. "If you wait to be told what happened before you decide whether you're someone's friend, you're not really offering grace. You're conducting an investigation." Amber challenges the idea that healthy friendships should always be perfectly balanced or require constant communication. Instead, she argues that lasting friendships are built on grace, trust, and the willingness to let relationships breathe through different seasons of life. Reflection Questions: What story have you told yourself about a friend’s silence?  When was the last time someone extended you grace you couldn’t repay?   Which of your friendships online lives in a feed?  🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

Do you ever feel like you're always celebrating everyone else, but when it's your turn, the same energy never comes back? In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral explores a conversation that resonates deeply with many single professionals, entrepreneurs, and high achievers: what happens when your biggest life milestones don't fit society's traditional celebrations? Inspired by a social media post about the experience of being "the single friend," Amber challenges the belief that being unmarried or child-free automatically means living a less celebrated life. Instead of waiting for weddings, baby showers, or other cultural milestones to validate our accomplishments, Amber offers a different perspective: create the rituals you wish existed. Whether you've started a business, earned a promotion, bought your first home, published a book, or simply become the person you've worked hard to become, your wins deserve to be celebrated too. Amber also shares practical ways to build a community that celebrates your growth instead of leaving it unnoticed. Here are a few things you can do: Pick one win from the last year you never let anyone celebrate, and plan a celebration for it. Quick friendship audit: who celebrates you well, who mostly receives your celebration? Put your energy where it goes both ways. Be the initiator once this month. When people are in town, be the one who books the table, for example. Celebrate someone specifically this week. Name the actual accomplishment, not a generic "proud of you." 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In the final episode of her 3-part discipline series, Amber Cabral challenges one of the biggest myths in personal development: that disciplined people never fall off track. Instead, Amber argues that the people who stay consistent are the ones who intentionally build systems that make recovery easier. Because life will interrupt your routines, you'll miss workouts, abandon habits, lose momentum, or have seasons where everything feels off. The question isn't whether you'll fall off; it's whether you've made it easy to return. Drawing on her own experiences balancing travel, business, podcasting, and everyday life, Amber shares practical strategies to reduce the "cost of returning" after setbacks. She explains why discipline is less about willpower and more about designing your life around what truly matters to you. From packing resistance bands instead of relying on hotel gyms to meal prepping before a busy week, Amber illustrates how small, in-advance decisions create consistency over time. Amber also opens up about one of the most important investments she makes in her own life: asking for help. By sharing why hiring a personal assistant became a non-negotiable, Amber reframes discipline as a willingness to remove obstacles instead of trying to carry everything alone. The goal isn't to do it all yourself; it's to protect your energy for the work only you can do. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

Most people think they have a discipline problem, while Amber Cabral thinks they have a clarity problem. In Part 2 of her 3-part series on discipline, Amber challenges one of the biggest assumptions in personal growth: that the reason you can't stay consistent is that you're lazy, unmotivated, or lacking discipline. What if the real issue is that you're trying to commit to a goal that was never truly yours to begin with? In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber explores the difference between real wants and borrowed wants. From career paths and relationship goals to health, creativity, and personal growth, she unpacks how many of us spend years chasing goals that were assigned by parents, partners, society, or expectations we never consciously chose. Drawing from her own journey of entrepreneurship, authenticity, and reinvention, Amber shares why discipline becomes easier when it's connected to something that truly matters to you. She explains how devotion fuels consistency, why authenticity requires flexibility, and how to identify whether your goals are coming from genuine desire or external pressure. Amber also shares research showing that people pursuing goals aligned with their own values are more likely to sustain effort and achieve long-term success than those pursuing goals based on obligation or outside pressure. Tune in and discover why walking away from a goal that was never yours may be one of the most disciplined things you can do. 📢 EP 24: Get Grounded: How “You Can Have Whatever You Want” https://humaningwell.substack.com/p/ep-24-get-grounded-how-you-can-have 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral kicks off a three-part series on discipline by challenging one of the most common misconceptions about it: that discipline means constant hustle, rigid routines, and unshakable willpower. Amber shares why the most disciplined people aren't necessarily the most regimented because they often understand themselves best. Through stories about travel routines, skincare habits, productivity systems, and even her approach to fitness, Amber explores how sustainable discipline is built by working with your natural rhythms rather than fighting them. She explains why paying attention to your energy, creating supportive systems, and allowing room for grace can be far more effective than relying on motivation or self-criticism. Amber also unpacks the difference between borrowed discipline and authentic commitment, showing why lasting consistency comes from being deeply connected to what truly matters to you (by not from copying someone else's habits or routines). As she reminds us: discipline isn't about being rigid. It's about being honest about who you are, how you work, and what you're genuinely devoted to achieving. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral shares the story of a freak accident that literally ripped her toenail off and the unexpected lessons it taught her about resilience, recovery, emotional regulation, and being human. While deep in the process of finishing her new book, How to Be a Good Human, Amber found herself confronting a hard truth: doing all the right things is not insurance against difficult things happening. Through humor, honesty, and reflection, Amber explores why so many of us believe that if we're disciplined enough, self-aware enough, or intentional enough, we can somehow avoid life's setbacks. But real growth isn't about preventing every challenge. It's about how quickly and intentionally we recover when life inevitably throws us off course. As she highlights: “Just because you're doing the right things, it is not insurance against bad things… Life is going to happen no matter how diligent you are.” This episode is a reminder that setbacks aren't proof that you're failing. They're proof that you're human because the goal isn't to avoid the hit, but to actually recover well. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral shares a real-time reflection on navigating self-doubt, unexpected challenges, and emotional overwhelm while writing her upcoming book. She introduces a powerful distinction between two types of growth: the kind you prepare for, and the kind that interrupts your life without warning. Amber opens up about the internal battle of questioning her own qualifications, dealing with imposter syndrome, and confronting the pressure of showing up as “the expert” while still being deeply human. Through that process, she uncovers a key truth: the real skill isn’t just learning tools, it’s remembering to use them when you need them most. Amber also shares how being intentional about what you consume (from social media to news to conversations) can directly impact your ability to stay grounded and focused during intense periods of growth. This episode will remind you of one simple but powerful truth: You still have tools even when you didn’t plan for the moment you’re in. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.

In this deeply honest episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral pulls back the curtain and shares what it looks like to navigate a season where everything feels heavy, uncertain, and unfinished. From missing a podcast episode for the first time to facing a major book deadline with only a fraction completed, Amber opens up about burnout, frustration, and the pressure of trying to hold multiple identities at once. This is not a polished “how-to” episode. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to keep showing up when you don’t feel your best: professionally, creatively, and emotionally. Amber shares lessons from: Hosting a powerful “Pour In” birthday experience and what it revealed about connection and affirmation Navigating a slow business season and the emotional toll of uncertainty Managing multiple roles and responsibilities while questioning direction and purpose The tension between being productive and actually feeling aligned This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it looks like pausing, questioning, and being honest about where you are. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx 📺 Apply for Job Hunt Georgia:https://form.typeform.com/to/ZZ8NH16D 🎥 Watch Job Hunt Georgia Episodes:https://weigelbroadcasting.com/community-programs/job-hunt-georgia Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.
