The Power Of Not Settling For "Good Enough"

Before your divorce, was there a moment when you realized you didn’t want to keep settling for “good enough”?

That’s exactly what we’re diving into on the very first episode of Season 7 with international best-selling author Amber Rae. Amber shares her deeply personal story of being married to a good man—but realizing he wasn’t her man. Meeting her now-husband John became the catalyst for awakening—not through infidelity, but through the realization she was living a false life and ready to step into truth.

In our conversation, we unpack themes of self-love, self-discovery, and self-liberation. We talk about emotional safety versus true aliveness, the power of coming home to yourself, practicing self-trust, and why it’s time to finally say fuck regret.

And there’s also a special surprise: I’ll be revealing how YOU can meet Amber and ask your own question about her newest book Loveable.

You can find more of Amber’s work at amberrae.com and follow her on Instagram @heyamberrae, where she shares her art, writing, and reflections on self-love, creativity, and living true to yourself.
