Cultivating surrender is essential to living a deep and meaningful life. I think surrender is often one of those things we talk about on a meta-level, but don't fully understand. In this episode, I try to pull back the curtain on surrender. What is it? What is it not? How do we practice surrender on the daily? Listen to this episode for all that and more!  www.amberleagray.com

Surrender

A few weeks go my feelings got hurt and to be honest, I did not know what to do with that. The reality is that we all get our feelings hurt from time to time, but we can't control other people. So when we get our feelings hurt, what do we do? I did a little research, and this is what if found! AND what I found most helpful in my own situation.  www.amberleagray.com

I had a conversation today where someone said, "I can't shut my mind off." The reality is so many of us are feeling that right now. Are you an overthinker? Why do people overthink?

Overthinking

Is it worth the risk? That's what I've been asking myself lately. I've been having a lot of conversations lately about the impact of fear on the choices we make. Is fear holding us back from going after what we really want? How do we know if something is too risky? Is there a difference between risky and reckless? These are all things I'm learning and start to unpack on this episode.  www.amberleagray.com

Risk Taking

A lot has shifted in our culture in the last 18 months, and people are starting to re-evaluate their lives. We slowed down long enough to ask the tough questions.

If you're in the same boat, this episode is for you!  www.amberleagray.com

Toxic People

Our culture tells us that hustle is just part of life. If you want to be successful, then you have to hustle. Honestly, I'm not here for it!
