This interview with Amber Krzys can only be described as juicy and ripe because there is SO MUCH to be squeezed out of it. We took a deep dive into deconstructing and reconstructing the programming and conditioning of our culture and society. We get into vulnerability – real vulnerability – not that forced kind that is so rampant in the self-help world these days. We geek out on our journeys and some of the embarrassing stops along the way – and Amber describes what she calls, “creating mutant versions of ourselves.” There’s TONS of gems in this one, listen closely!
