In today's episode, i reflect on the state of our world currently.

I also reflect on two kinds of grief: the collective grief many of us carry for humanity, and grief that feels personal even when you didn't know the person.

I also reflect on attention scarcity, online connection, and growing anxiety about authenticity—where even real people can be questioned as "AI." From there, I share a story I've carried for years: meeting a couple who said I reminded them of their daughter, then later discovering the daughter had died through her husband's heartfelt tributes online.

When I learned her husband, a gentleman and an actor I grew up watching as a romantic hero had also passed away a few days ago, it felt like the end of an era.

This is a gentle, reflective episode about meaning-making, grief-by-resonance, and practising warmth in a world that can feel increasingly hard.

Peace and love always,

Amber

In today's episode, I share an afternoon walk through wild weather, the unexpected comfort of street lamps and Christmas lights still glowing in mid-January, and the reflection they sparked: maybe the light doesn't go out… .

This is a gentle musing on love after goodbye, the ache of absence, and what changes when we stop treating death like the end of the story. If you've been carrying someone in your heart, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• Why "fragile light" can be a powerful metaphor for the human spirit

• Love that continues, even when someone is no longer here the way they used to be

• How fear of endings can make us hoard time, control, and certainty

• Kindness as a recognition of something eternal in each other

Take a breath after listening:
What light are you protecting right now in yourself, or in someone else?

With love and peace always,

Amber

In today's episode, I share a gentler approach to starting the year

New Year's can feel loud. Big goals, big money plans, big pressure. But when loss happens close to home, it can shift everything into focus.

Instead of forcing unrealistic resolutions or pretending everything is fine, we focus on what's true, what matters, and what's actually doable. You'll learn how to choose 1–2 priorities for the year and create 5-minute "minimum version" habits you can keep even on busy, emotional, or unpredictable days.

This isn't about doing less because you're giving up. It's about doing what's real—so your goals support your life, not the other way around.

• A New Year perspective shift when life reminds us what matters

• What a Soft Reset 2026 really is (and what it isn't)

• How to pick one or two priorities that improve your everyday life

• The power of 5-minute minimum habits (built for real days, not perfect days)

• A realistic mindset for tough seasons—without toxic positivity

• A simple reflection to guide your year from the inside out

Choose 1–2 priorities for 2026, then create a 5-minute version of each habit—small enough to do consistently, meaningful enough to change your year.

1. What are your two priorities for 2026?

2. What's the 5-minute habit for each?

Question for you: If we don't take it with us, what do you want to be "rich" in this year—presence, peace, connection, courage, health?

With peace and love always,

Amber
