AMBER RAE is an author, artist, and speaker devoted to inspiring people to express the fullness of their gifts. Mind Body Green called her “The Brené Brown of Wonder.” Previously, Amber helped launch six best-selling books as Chief Evangelist of Seth Godin’s publishing experiment and started an “accelerator for your life” called The Bold Academy. She lives in Brooklyn and around the world. She’s the author of Choose Wonder Over Worry: Move Beyond Fear and Doubt to Unlock Your Full Potential.
