When Amber Ontiveros survived a brush with death, it wasn't just her life that changed—her entire perspective did. This episode features Amber, a keynote speaker, executive business coach, and author, who opens up about her transformative journey. From the highs of a policy advisor to the lows of a near-death experience, she shares how these events led her to pen "Heal the Four Woundings: A Guide to Ending Discord and Discrimination," and how we can all work to overcome unconscious bias and discrimination in our lives.

Our heart-to-heart with Amber traverses the intricate landscape of personal growth, where acknowledging our 'four woundings' can lead to profound healing. We get candid about the internal biases that shape how we view ourselves and others, and Amber provides actionable advice—like using affirmation loops and breathwork—to help us on our quest for self-discovery. Her insights reveal how embracing our neuroplasticity can change the very fabric of who we are, turning life's mistakes into opportunities for empowerment and growth.
This conversation isn't just about introspection; it's a call to connect with the world around us more deeply. We discuss the importance of mindfulness and how embracing a child-like presence can untangle us from life's complexities. Amber illuminates her path to promoting racial healing, and together, we explore how quantum physics might just offer a blueprint for understanding our place in the cosmos. By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped with a new lens to view mindfulness, meditation, and the limitless potential they unlock for personal transformation and societal change.
