In this episode, Amber gets real about growing up in the Midwest and the quiet expectations that followed her into adulthood. Bravely, she explains her experience with childhood trauma and parental relationship issues. Through sharing her journey of leaving Ohio for California, she reflects on relationships, identity shifts, and the chaos of figuring life out in your twenties. Mostly, she’s just trying to answer one question: Was I running away, or running toward something? Join us in exploring this question.

"There is so much confidence in self discovery."

-Amber
