Everyday Better with Leah Smart

Why Learning To Disappoint People Is the Key to an Authentic Life


Listen Later

On paper, Amber Rae had a dream life: she lived in Mexico with her husband and business partner. She was a budding memoirist and a speaker, teaching people how to be true to themselves and find emotional clarity. But beneath the surface, Amber felt disconnected and unfulfilled.

Then one day she woke up. She realized she had built her entire life around the expectations of others and she set out to do something different.

This week on Everyday Better, Amber shares her story of dismantling her old life in the pursuit of authenticity, breaking free from people-pleasing and learning to disappoint others along the way. She explains why disappointing others isn’t selfish, but instead a learnable skill we can use to live in alignment with our true selves.
