When You’re Tired, Stuck, and Still Have to Keep Going

In this deeply honest episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber Cabral pulls back the curtain and shares what it looks like to navigate a season where everything feels heavy, uncertain, and unfinished. From missing a podcast episode for the first time to facing a major book deadline with only a fraction completed, Amber opens up about burnout, frustration, and the pressure of trying to hold multiple identities at once. This is not a polished “how-to” episode. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to keep showing up when you don’t feel your best: professionally, creatively, and emotionally. Amber shares lessons from: Hosting a powerful “Pour In” birthday experience and what it revealed about connection and affirmation Navigating a slow business season and the emotional toll of uncertainty Managing multiple roles and responsibilities while questioning direction and purpose The tension between being productive and actually feeling aligned This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it looks like pausing, questioning, and being honest about where you are. 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch 💛 Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx 📺 Apply for Job Hunt Georgia:https://form.typeform.com/to/ZZ8NH16D 🎥 Watch Job Hunt Georgia Episodes:https://weigelbroadcasting.com/community-programs/job-hunt-georgia Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/www.humaningwellpodcast.com/Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabralLinkedIn | @ambercabralFacebook | @amber.cabralX | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.socialWatch Amber’s TED TALK here.You can purchase Amber's books from the retailer of your choice here: https://www.ambercabral.com/books/Allies and Advocates: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable CultureSay More About That: ...And Other Ways to Speak Up, Push Back, and Advocate for Yourself and OthersHuman(ing) Well is produced by EPYC Media Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
