How to Stop People-Pleasing + Face Your Truth with Amber Rae | EP 103

Have you ever felt a quiet knowing that something in your life was off — and tried to ignore it because you feared what it might change?

 

In this episode, we talk about what happens when that quiet knowing becomes impossible to ignore. Amber Rae shares how meeting someone unexpectedly brought a truth she had been avoiding into sharp focus—a truth that, once faced, meant her marriage and the life she’d built would have to change. She opens up about telling her then-husband, navigating the fear and guilt that followed, and the backlash that came from choosing what felt true over what felt safe. We explore how to know if it’s time to stay or go, the role of self-trust in big decisions, and why liberation is always a two-way street.

 

We also dive into breaking free from people-pleasing, setting boundaries that last, and working with emotions like guilt and anger without letting them run the show. Amber talks about reclaiming intimacy after years without it, voicing insecurities to deepen connection, and following what brings you alive in love, career, and life.

 

If you’ve ever wondered what might happen if you truly listened to yourself, this conversation will give you the courage and clarity to find out.
