#73 Finding Strength: From Addiction To Life-Saving Curiosity With Amber Keatley-Shaikh

from Women's Business · host Nicky Denson-Elliott

Trigger warnings: loss, addiction, eating disorders  In this quite amazing episode of Women's Business, I speak to Amber Keatley-Shaikh, a women's health coach who has been on her own incredible journey of building resilience and self-discovery. Amber takes us all the way back to childhood trauma and the heroin addiction that nearly killed her, before we discuss how she found a curiosity that kept her moving forward, before discovering strength and purpose in counselling and occupational therapy. Now, she and her wife run a female-only gym, balancing careers and family life. Amber shares her powerful insights on overcoming adversity, redefining health and success, and breaking down misconceptions about ageing. This deep and moving conversation illuminates how resilience and curiosity can transform your life, defying the notion of a linear career path. Find Amber on Instagram here.
