"The easier you make a woman's life, the more return you will receive from her, in terms of her listening, her attention, her affection, her respect."

What really makes a relationship thrive? Spoiler: it’s not just money.

In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral breaks down why true connection, whether romantic, platonic, or professional, comes down to skill. From simple gestures like opening a door to thoughtful actions that make someone’s life easier, Amber unpacks how care, attention, and consistency set the standard for healthy relationships.

You’ll hear real-world examples of “skilled” support (including a story that went viral on Instagram) and learn how to stop performing for validation and start practicing authentic connection. Plus, Amber leaves you with powerful reflection questions you can use to evaluate your own relationships.
