I’ve known Amber for a long time. She was an OG at SOS and back then I could sense something was off, but I didn’t know the full story. I didn’t know she was quietly fighting a battle with food, control, and over-exercise that was stealing so much more than just her energy—it was stealing her presence. Her joy. Her health. Her period.

It wasn’t until we recorded the Infertility Series that I learned the whole story—and damn, it hit me hard.

In this episode, Amber gets brutally honest about what it’s like to live inside the mental spiral of orthorexia and exercise addiction. We talk about how that level of control shows up in everyday life, how it impacts relationships, and what it takes to finally break free. Because this isn’t just about food or fitness. This is about being so consumed by the need to control, that you miss out on life itself.

She talks about:

  • Losing her period for years—and why that was the wake-up call
  • Hiding disordered habits behind “health”
  • Why presence is the real flex
  • The little moments that helped her start healing
  • What it looks like to work out and eat because you love yourself, not because you hate your body

If you're listening and your stomach is turning a little, or you're recognizing something in yourself or someone you love—listen all the way through. Amber’s story is powerful, but more importantly, it’s proof that healing is possible.

You don’t have to stay stuck. There’s a way out. The door is open.
