The Pleasure Priority

In this episode, Amber takes the hot seat and is interviewed by Serena Hicks of Big Happy Money. They discuss how she was able to create 5 clients in a 3 week period after consistent $0 months. Learn what changed the game for Amber, what led to her transformations, and how she used pleasure to create her results.  Over the course of the last year Amber got a divorce, moved in with her parents, moved into a luxury apartment, and fully committed to growing her business (she says, “I stopped treating my business like a booty call”) – and she’s been practicing radical self belief in the area of creating, spending, receiving, and embracing BIG Happy Money. In this call she shares with Serena the thoughts and practices that took her from a $0 income month to booking five clients in just three weeks. Thoughts like, “It’s my time. Let’s go.” and practices like “passive thought work” (you’ll love it if you share her ADHD brain). Get your notebooks, y’all, because this is magic. And if you want more of Serena (of course you do!) you can find her on Instagram @xoxoserenahicks and her website https://www.serenahicks.com/

In this week’s episode, Amber dives further into the concepts from last week and processing emotions with another tool, disassociating from the emotion. Not in the sense you may think, we still want to feel the emotion, but we don’t want to identify with it in the sense that it is who we are instead of what we are currently feeling. Understanding this, you will be able to process and allow emotions instead of resisting, reacting, or avoiding them. Amber reminds us that it is okay to feel your emotions, stop trying to fix it, instead, stop, listen and learn from the way you are feeling. They are there to give us valuable information. We just have to understand their communication style to hear it. This episode gives you actionable information into how to truly process your emotions so you can move through and out of them. When you’re ready to dive deeper into processing your emotions, accepting your feelings for what they truly are, so you can live the life of your dreams infused with pleasure, book a consult call with Amber today! https://www.ambertaylorcoaching.com/work-with-me

In this week’s episode, Amber takes time to recognize the recent tragedies in the United States around gun violence. She breaks down her own emotions and how she processes them. She takes us through step-by-step process of identifying, accepting, and releasing all of the feelings that come up for her both physically and mentally. Amber encourages you to take time to take care of yourself in these moments, in order to move forward. Although you may feel hopeless, it’s still necessary to prioritize things that bring you pleasure. She reminds us that life is 50/50 and we are designed to experience the entire emotional spectrum. When we find ourselves feeling beat down and hopeless and frustrated, it is that much more important to seek joy. When we seek it, we can continue to find and create more of it. This is how we heal.

This week, Amber talks about the opinions of others and the weight of those opinions. It's a topic we all experience in one way or another, but Amber reminds us that other people’s opinions ain't got shit to do with you! She calls on you to ask yourself what you are making others thoughts of you mean? At the end of the day, we truly don’t know what anybody else is thinking about us, so ultimately it’s our own self judgment and our own self criticism on replay in our heads. Amber encourages you to choose the story. Chose the one that makes you feel good, choose the story that you really want for yourself! So next time you find yourself worrying about what anybody else thinks of you, ask yourself, what am I making this mean? Ask yourself why it matters and ask yourself how you want to feel. What are you stopping yourself from feeling by believing this story, then pick up the pen and change the narrative, simply because you have that power.

In this episode Amber has a conversation with a very special guest, Hailey Thomas*, and they tackle the topic “The Armor of Excellence.” The Armor of Excellence describes the protective shield that we create for ourselves shrouded in excellence, and how the constant pursuit of excellence becomes perfectionism and how that can become detrimental. This armor works both ways; It protects you, but it's also a lot to carry and stops you from moving as quickly and as freely as you could. Amber and Hailey break down the ways you can remove this armor by creating safety in other ways and ultimately making life better and easier for you. And OF COURSE Amber discusses how prioritizing and pursuing your own pleasure and play is KEY to learning, growing, healing and creating even more excellence with ease. They remind us that performing to excellence is great and helps you gain valuable skills, but we don’t always need to wear the armor as every situation in life is not a battle, and will ultimately lead to a constant state of felling unsafe. In this episode, they teach you how to create excellence and safety.

This week Amber talks about what human beings are always seeking or avoiding. She explains that we are biologically wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain, and how that affects the decisions we make - friends, partners, jobs, style, food, literally everything.  When we're conscious of our brain's biological needs we can find ways to create that experience in ways we actually want to now instead of ways we may have unconsciously learned before.  Understanding this dynamic in your own life is like having the keys to the universe, you can unlock any door you choose to.  If you're ready to learn this work with Amber, take the next step and book a free Clarity Call today! https://www.ambertaylorcoaching.com/work-with-me.
