In this second installment of the Stay Ready capsule, Amber spins the conversation to the Wealth pillar—because when life feels chaotic, our financial choices become emotional ones. Instead of offering generic budgeting advice, she delivers something more lasting: money mindset shifts rooted in wellness, clarity, and care.

This episode is packed with reflections and real-life tools for managing your money with intention—even when the world feels unpredictable. You’ll learn how to spend in ways that protect your joy, preserve your energy, and keep you grounded. Amber walks through three powerful practices:

• Why buying well once is better than buying cheap over and over,
• How to create a “Protect Your Joy” fund—a small but mighty tool for planned pleasure,
• And how to embrace little luxuries and micro-upgrades that restore your peace without wrecking your budget.

Amber drops three self-reflection prompts to check your spending habits, align with your values, and stop operating from scarcity or stress. Because here’s the truth: being well isn't just about green smoothies and bubble baths—it includes money too. And as she reminds us, no stockpile, safety plan, or spreadsheet matters if you’re not taking care of you in the process.

Tune in and learn how to stay ready—with your pockets, your peace, and your purpose intact.
