With there being a lot of smoke and mirrors on social media, the power of vulnerability has become even more evident. Vulnerability connects us, and that is all we really want. We all want to be loved, understood, and to feel like we are not alone. Through sharing our experiences, we can turn our pain into purpose and let others know that we have a choice to make our pain temporary and take charge of our lives to reach our most confident, empowered, and free self. In this episode with Mind and Body Transformation Expert Amber Shaw, you will be empowered to learn to truly love who you see in the mirror.

Amber Shaw is the Founder of The Wellness Revolution, a Motivational Speaker, and Internationally Recognized Authority in the Health and Wellness Industry. She is a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching, Certified ISSA Group Fitness, and Certified ISSA Personal Trainer. In her 20s, Amber overcame an eating disorder but found getting herself continuing the vicious cycle of deprivation dieting into her 30s. Finding herself miserable in her own skin, Amber knew there had to be a better way. She gave up all the dieting and found true food freedom, and did extensive inner work to learn to truly love and accept herself. Now she has transformed the lives of thousands of women to rediscover their confidence and live a lifestyle that is effortless and sustainable.

In this episode, Amber gets real and honest about the painful journey that led her to where she is today, and her realization that things in life happen FOR us, and not TO us. From the outside, Amber’s life looked perfect. She had a great job and a picture-perfect family, but inside, she was miserable. By tapping into her intuition through just getting quiet with herself, she transformed her life and wants the same for you. Tune in to Amber’s story of healing and hope.
