In this powerful episode, I sit down with Amber Hayes, an inspiring interior designer, mother, and soon-to-be author from Calgary, who has transformed her life by embracing her truth. After years in the corporate world, Amber leaped into entrepreneurship, but her real journey began when she confronted her past. At 37, a battle with depression brought her to a pivotal moment—one that would lead her to finally face the pain she had hidden for over 25 years. Surviving seven years of childhood sexual abuse and a toxic family environment, Amber later found herself in an abusive marriage, convinced it was her escape to a better life.

Amber shares how confronting her trauma became the turning point that transformed her pain into resilience, ultimately inspiring her upcoming book, The Obedient Daughter, set for release in September 2024. Through her story, Amber encourages women to reclaim their voices, break free from their past, and live authentically. Join us for a profoundly moving conversation as Amber redefines what it means to be strong, motivates others to face their truths, and proves that every woman has the power to transcend her history. This episode is a testament to courage, healing, and the journey toward self-empowerment. Don’t miss it!

I am grateful for the connection with her and look forward to supporting each other's journeys.

My guest today is Kari Warberg Block. While we had technical difficulties during the recording, I enjoyed my conversation with her. Her words inspired me, and I am sure they will inspire you, too.

Kari began her entrepreneurial journey as a farmwife with an annual income of just $18,000. Despite limited resources, she identified a gap in the market and saw the potential to build a successful business.

Kari revolutionized the industry by introducing non-toxic pest control solutions through her unwavering determination, innovative approach, and successful lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C.. Today, Kari has transformed her small pest control business into a $360 million empire.

Kari's story inspires aspiring entrepreneurs, demonstrating that anyone can achieve extraordinary success with passion, perseverance, and vision.

Even more, Kari is known by most as a #KindnessRebel, which means caring enough to stand up and speak up for yourself. www.earthkind.com

Today’s episode is about the life-changing power of winning routines and why prioritizing ourselves is critical to reducing overwhelm and achieving our goals. As a total health, habit, and empowerment coach, I often discuss the importance of consistent routines. However, it took my own experience with burnout and anxiety to realize their true impact.

In this episode, I’ll share how placing myself on the back burner led to unexpected challenges with mental health, which ultimately inspired a journey of spiritual growth and intentional self-care. I discovered that a grounded relationship with God and surrounding myself with supportive people were crucial steps in my healing. Now, routines like nighttime winding down and morning intention-setting allow me to nurture my mind, body, and spirit daily.

Join me as we explore how even small adjustments in our routines can build resilience, reduce stress, and lead to a more balanced and fulfilled life.

Thank you for tuning in to this week's episode!
