About
Hi, I’m Amber.
Way back in 2017, I started questioning the pace and expectations of the life I was living. Everything felt stressful, rushed, loud, and a little disconnected - even when things looked “successful” from the outside, but I had bought into the hustle culture and it was slowly draining me.
So I started slowing things down by making some key decisions that helped to make some big changes.
Now, I write and film stories about learning to live more intentionally — slowing down, paying attention, and building a life that actually feels like my own.
Most of these stories come from my everyday life — the lessons, quiet moments, small routines, and changes that happen when you start choosing a slower path.
This space is for people who feel the quiet pull toward something slower…
but still meaningful.
Softer… but still strong.
Simple… but never small.
Where It All Started
In 2017, I sold my house, let go of most of my belongings, and moved into an RV to travel full-time across North America.
Before YouTube, I spent my entire career in real estate accounting and decided to quite the only career I had even known to pursue something different. Something that was my own, and a chance to explore my creative side.
It was wild and a risk, but one that felt so natural in my evolution.
One year later after starting my full-time travel - I downsized again into a 20-foot van and continued exploring.
Those years of travel changed the way I think about life — about what we really need, what makes us happy, and how easy it is to drift into a life that doesn’t actually feel like our own.
That chapter taught me courage. It taught me self-trust. It taught me resilience.
It taught me that you don’t have to wait until retirement to live your life.
But maybe the most surprising thing it taught me… was that the freedom I was looking for wasn’t really about how far I traveled. It was about how I chose to live my days.
It changed my life in such a profound way that I knew I could never go back to the life I had been living before.
Somewhere along the way I discovered how much freedom and joy there is in living more simply and moving through life a little slower.
I’m still incredibly grateful for that chapter.
What I Do Now
Today, I create weekly YouTube films and write reflections centered around:
- Slow, intentional living
- Mental and emotional health
- Living alone with confidence
- Staying healthy through nature and eating well
- Introversion and acceptance
- Building a simple, sustainable life
- Creative work and entrepreneurship
- Growing older as a woman — without shrinking
I’ve now built a YouTube channel of over 105,000 subscribers, secured brand partnerships, navigated burnout, taken a year off, and rebuilt from a place that feels more honest and grounded.
I know what it means to chase something and I know what it means to refine it.
This season of my life is about depth, not speed. My work isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about designing one that feels calm, grounded, and aligned.
Many people tell me my videos feel like sitting with a good friend and they have a sense of calm and peace that makes their days a little brighter.
That’s what I hope this space feels like too.

Why This Blog Exists
This blog is an extension of my YouTube channel — a place for slower thoughts, longer reflections, and written stories.
It’s also where I share:
• Lessons from creative work
• The behind-the-scenes of building a personal brand
• What I’m learning about sustainability in life and business
• And monthly letters through my snail mail club "The Story Post"
If you’ve been craving a softer pace without losing ambition…
If you want a life that feels intentional, not reactive…
If you’re figuring things out as you go…
You’re in the right place.
I’m really glad you’re here.
