#74 Say Goodbye to Your Old Life and Hello to a Happier Future with Guest, Amber James

A saying that has transformed my life is "you get more of what you tolerate". When I finally had clarity, I saw this happen time and time again. It was only when I raised my standards and stopped tolerating a job that drained me, people that drained me, and circumstances that drained me that life began to change. Amber James had the same experience. She blew up her life to pursue her own happiness and she shares her journey in this episode. Amber James is a writer, motivational speaker, and self-love advocate who uses her voice to help inspire women to live their best lives.
