Balance is a Scam: Ambition, Motherhood and Why We Don’t Have to Pick One

Dr. Amber is a multi-business owner, single mom, and university professor who holds a doctorate in Psychology and refuses to choose between ambition an motherhood. At 41, she got pregnant with a miracle baby, spent two years building a family unit, and then rebuilt her life from scratch when it all imploded. She lives with her son, five dogs, and a pile of unfolded laundry that been “temporarily” in the basket since Tuesday.

Join us at Asher's Sandbox, put your feet in the sand and relax as we talk with Amber about her new book Balance is a Scam: Ambition, Motherhood, and Why We Don't Have to Pick One. 

In this fireside chat Dr. Amber will breakdown:

  •  Why "mom guilt" is neurological, not a moral failing.
  • How chronic stress rewires the body and why breakdowns often precede breakthroughs.
  • Why kids don't need perfect mothers; they need emotionally present ones.
  • How ambition and motherhood are not opposites but partners.
  • Why balance is a trap built on the wrong scorecard.
  • How resilience is built in ordinary, messy micro-moments.
  • Why connection, not isolation, is the real medicine for overwhelmed mother
