This is Not Reality

Amber speaks to experts, artists and everyday people about finding success and happiness in an everchanging world.

The name of the podcast is Amber’s personal motto-- a play on words based on a painting that she learned about in highschool called “The Treachery of Images” by french artist Rene Magritte (1928) —a painting of a pipe with french text written underneath it that translates to, “this is not a pipe”.

Afterall, what we see is not a pipe, it is a painting of a pipe.

Amber has always cherished the painting as a reminder that People have all sorts of linguistic and social tools that we use as shorthand to communicate/ navigate our values. This is Not Reality is about comparing our different illusion(s) of success and happiness in order to live more fulfilled lives.
