  • Transition & Changes

    Transition & Changes
    2024/12/21

    Welcome back to another episode of Moments of Authenticity!

    Transitions are a part of life and are rarely easy to navigate. In this episode, I open up about how I’ve handled some of the most significant changes in my personal and professional life. From moments of uncertainty to finding clarity through reflection, this conversation is a reminder that growth often begins in discomfort.


    Whether you’re in the middle of a transition or just reflecting on what’s next, this episode offers practical insights and a little encouragement to keep moving forward—even if the path isn’t clear.

    In this episode I am breaking down:

    • Making the decision to make a HARD decision.

    • An exploration into sustainability with limited community and a changing financial landscape

    • Mitigating shame and fear

    Timestamps:

    [00:00] Introduction: Navigating transitions in life and work. [02:20] A personal story: What change taught me about trust and patience. [06:45] Practical tools for sitting with discomfort during periods of uncertainty. [10:10] Client stories: Parallels between therapy work and my own journey. [14:00] Closing reflections: Growth and resilience through transition.


    Notable Quotes:

    • "I’ve literally been moving in silence.”

    • “I recognized how lonely I was feeling without community, in its fullness.”

    • "I knew that my practice was not sustainable the way that it was, and the lack of community was not sustainable for my mental health, so I made the decision to go home!”

    • "Coming home first required that I work through my own self-prescribed shame and fear of failure!”

    • "In release comes movement!”

    • “I appreciate that folx are making space for me back in Oakland.”

    • “I’m so grateful that once I moved out of the way, there was a sense of movement and urgency…I didn’t need to know the how or the when…I just needed to move!”

    • “I gave myself permission to change my trajectory about work.”

    • “Biggest takeaways: don’t beholden yourself to a decision if the circumstances have changed, you are not a failure for acknowledging what you need…and going home, and STAND ON BUSINESS!”

    • “My phrase for 2025 is RELINQUISHING CONTROL.”

  • 5 Years of Healing Through Authenticity!

    5 Years of Healing Through Authenticity!
    2024/08/24

    Welcome back to another episode!

    Can you believe it’s been five years? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the real story behind how I built Healing Through Authenticity, PLLC, from the ground up. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy! From packing up my life in Oakland to diving into the deep end with no job, no safety net – just pure faith in myself – this journey has been a wild ride of risks, rewards, and so many lessons along the way.

    If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to chase your dreams while battling perfectionism, doubt, and everything in between, then you’re in for an eye-opener. This episode is raw, real, and full of the personal insights I’ve gained through it all.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down:

    • Why I took the biggest leap of my life – moving to a new state with no job, no insurance, just a dream.

    • How betting on myself paid off in ways I never expected (but also some ways I wasn’t ready for).

    • The behind-the-scenes struggles of starting my practice – clients, boundaries, and the reality of setting up shop.

    • Why I’ve stopped striving for perfection (hint: it’s impossible) and started embracing my progress.

    • How my clients, past and present, have shaped who I am as a therapist—and why I’m tearing up just thinking about it.

    Trust me, you won’t want to miss this one.

    Curious about what happens when you push past fear and bank on yourself? Hit play now and join me as I reflect on five unforgettable years of growth, healing, and authenticity!

    Timestamps

    [00:02] 5-year milestone in therapy practice, including training and certifications.

    [04:30] Perfectionism, self-doubt, and personal growth.

    [08:50] Personal growth, self-care, and professional development for a therapist.

    Notable Quotes

    “I believed in this business and I believed in this practice, and since then, it has sustained me. It has kept me.”

    “I’m still a work in progress, wanting to continue to shift and think about what kind of therapist I want to be, because I don’t have to necessarily be one thing. I’m not a monolith.”

    “The perfectionist side of me, is exhausting, and usually it doesn’t come out perfect anyway.”

    “I can do hard things, and I do hard things all the time.”

    “It’s okay to pace yourself.”

    “I am not perfect. I will never be perfect. I will consistently be a person who wants better for themselves.”

    “I recognize that I can’t control how people perceive me. I can only provide the information that I have in the way that I can, and if it’s received, then I’ve done my job.”

    “I’m giving myself permission to be exactly where I’m at versus where I’m not.”

    “I’m grateful, and it’s okay to, like, pause for a second and just be in it.”

  • You Can Only Control So Much

    You Can Only Control So Much
    2024/07/27
    Ever feel like you’re losing control of everything? I know the feeling. Join me in this eye-opening episode of “Moments of Authenticity” as I dive deep into the struggles and triumphs of my healing journey after a major surgery. We’ll explore the hard truth about control and why it’s sometimes necessary to let go and accept what we can’t change. The Hard Truth About Control. Discover why trying to control everything is a losing battle. My Personal Healing Story. Hear about my recent hysterectomy and the six to eight-week recovery that left me feeling powerless. Emotional Rollercoaster. How not being able to work out, clean up, or even lift heavy things made me feel frustrated and helpless. Pain and Mindset. Learn why pushing through pain isn’t always the best approach and how my mindset shifted during recovery. The Power of Language. Why the words you use about what you can and cannot do matter more than you think. Giving Yourself Grace. The importance of self-compassion and patience when life doesn’t go as planned. Timestamps [00:05] Discussion on the theme of control, related to personal healing after a hysterectomy. [01:00] Frustration with the inability to perform usual activities, like working out, after surgery. [02:21] Adjusting to physical limitations and the impact on mental health.

Notable Quotes “I’m used to pushing through the pain. And that’s something to really take inventory of, because in my mind, I’m like, ‘You just gotta keep pushing, you gotta keep going, you gotta keep doing those things’. And I tell my clients all the time, you can’t ignore those things, or they will come back full force.” “Not having control over when the pain is going to come or how the pain is going to come, not that I could control that anyway, but that’s just something I, in my mind, I felt like I needed to control.” “My control, or my desire for control, is a matter of mindset.” “The things that you tell yourself, you can’t do right now or can’t do any more, the idea that you can still do things and still reach goals, like you’re still getting results, they just don’t always look like the package that you want them to look in. So, make sure that you’re honoring that piece.” “I take away my own agency, when I only mentioned what I cannot do.” “I will challenge you or charge you to look at the language that you use around what you can and cannot do. And it’s actually can you or can you not do that? Or is it more like, you can’t do that right now, because those are two different things.” “Are we doing more damage to ourselves telling ourselves we need to be somewhere that we’re not yet or that we’re not like that place is not accessible to us at all? And having to shift and pivot? Are we giving ourselves credit to be there? Because I don’t always and I know that for myself.” “Give yourself more grace.” “Allow yourself to unfold your arms, unclench your jaw, and remove your shoulders from your cheeks. Because what you feel like you can’t control right now, you’re taking away from the things that you actually can control.” Music by: Noir Et Blanc Vie Moments of Authenticity Email: amber@amberboydtherapy.com | Instagram | Facebook | Website | Youtube | Spotify | Apple
