We talk about “healing” like it’s a destination - but what if it’s actually a lifelong practice?
In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions in wellness culture: the myth of being fully healed. From social media epiphanies to real-life lessons that keep resurfacing, Amber shares why healing isn’t about “fixing what’s broken” — it’s about continuously practicing peace, awareness, and compassion for yourself as you grow.
She gets real about her own healing journey, the “epiphany trap” that keeps us stuck in awareness instead of action, and how to stay grounded when old wounds reappear—sharing how to stop chasing “healed” and start practicing healing, recognize when you’re collecting awareness instead of applying it, build a personal peace practice that evolves with you, embrace growth without guilt when old lessons resurface, and stay grounded through mindfulness, boundaries, and grace.
If you’ve ever wondered why healing feels like a loop instead of a finish line — this episode will help you see that you’re not failing; you’re evolving.
