Episode Summary
Krisstina welcomes to the podcast international entrepreneur, business coach, and Pilates and yoga instructor, Amber Sears. After living out a career-centric lifestyle in San Francisco for eight years, Amber decided to make a radical move to Costa Rica, seeking more balance in her life. From there, she started a wellness center, began living the lifestyle of her dreams, and started running retreats focused on helping others achieve life-changing experiences. Amber recently got married to comedian J.P. Sears and is now splitting her time between their home in Austin, Texas and her retreat destinations in Costa Rica, Thailand, and Guatemala.
In this episode, we talk about spiritual awakening and what it means to be truly present in today’s hectic society. We talk about the epidemic of unhappiness and the lack of fulfillment that generates as a result. Amber stresses the importance of prioritizing the people and relationships that matter most and reversing our value systems to reflect that. We touch on the importance of community and tribe. Finally, we talk about simplifying life and the concept of creating and holding space to achieve spiritual, personal, and professional growth in our lives.
