How to Design a Life You Don’t Need to Escape

Are you living a life you constantly want to escape from?

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral shares how to shift from the grind–escape cycle into a more intentional way of living: where joy, wellness, and fulfillment are part of your daily rhythm, not just something you find on vacation.

Amber introduces the concept of an elevated baseline (or elevated neutral) - the small, intentional upgrades and habits that make life feel better every day. From savoring sunsets and warm towels to choosing work aligned with your values, she shows how these choices can help you avoid burnout, feel whole, and stay grounded even during hard seasons.

You’ll learn:
✅ How to design a life you don’t need to escape
✅ The difference between grinding and sustaining joy
✅ Why your “elevated neutral” matters for long-term wellness
✅ Practical questions to define your own good life
✅ How to weave joy into everyday routines, not just vacations

If you’re ready to stop chasing balance and start creating wholeness, this episode will inspire you to refine, realign, and human well.
