“Every single time that you say yes to something that depletes you, you are saying no to something that could grow you.” – Amber Cabral

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral tackles one of the biggest energy leaks in modern life: people-pleasing. She breaks down why constantly trying to keep the peace actually keeps the pattern alive, how fear and conflict avoidance hold you hostage, and what it really means to build a backbone with grace.

You’ll learn how to:

✅ Recognize when “being nice” is really self-neglect
✅ Set boundaries that honor your values without guilt
✅ Communicate your needs calmly (not combatively)
✅ Say no without over-explaining or apologizing
✅ Stop shrinking yourself to make others comfortable

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by being “the dependable one,” this conversation will help you protect your peace, preserve your energy, and practice self-respect without losing your compassion.

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.

"Excellence isn't about being perfect, it's about being intentional. It's about respecting yourself enough to show up fully in the space that you occupy."

In today’s episode, Amber challenges us to rethink the way we show up in every area of our lives. Excellence isn’t about perfection—it’s about alignment, self-respect, and consistency.

From how you manage your home, your work, and your relationships, to the energy you bring into your community, excellence is the difference between living in frustration and creating flow. She also unpacks what it means to stop “half-assing” life, why mediocrity costs us more than we realize, and how intentionality builds trust, credibility, and opportunity. This conversation will inspire you to take one bold step toward excellence.

At the end of the day, “It's not about perfection. It's about alignment between who you say you are and how you actually show up.” Learn more at Human(ing)Wellpodcast.com
