Summary
Kate reconnects with her longtime friend Amber Rose Johnson, whom she met long before they each had kids—and she’s been laughing with her ever since.
Amber grew up surrounded by fitness and comedy: her dad ran a health club and business, and her mom was an aerobics instructor by day and a comedian and booker by night. But instead of being drawn into the toxic diet culture of that world, Amber charted her own path—embracing body positivity long before it became a movement.
In this conversation, Amber opens up about her unconventional childhood, how her mother taught her to use humor as a way to navigate life’s toughest moments, and how she went on to build a thriving day spa business rooted in self-acceptance and joy.

| 0:15.6 | Welcome back for another episode of Reality Life with KKC. |
| 0:18.7 | And welcome back for this most special Saturday |
| 0:21.3 | series episode. You know how there are some people you meet early in life who just leave a |
| 0:26.1 | lasting impression, not just on you, but how you see the world. Well, today's guest, my friend |
| 0:31.6 | Amber Rose Johnson, is one of those people for me. I met Amber before either of us had any |
| 0:37.0 | kids. And from that first |
| 0:38.7 | encounter, I don't think I ever stopped laughing. Amber grew up in this incredible household. Her dad ran a |
| 0:43.9 | health club and her mom, Cindy, was this larger-than-life personality. By day, Cindy was an aerobics |
| 0:49.5 | instructor, and by night she was a comedian and a booker. She had to spark this unbelievable combination of |
| 0:55.6 | humor and professionalism that made such a mark on me. Cindy showed me that you could be completely |
| 1:01.1 | yourself, funny, bold, creative, but also run your world like a pro. That confidence, that sense of |
| 1:07.3 | showing up fully prepared, but never taking yourself too seriously, |
| 1:15.1 | is something I've carried with me all of these years. And it's something I've tried to pass down to my kids too. Amber, meanwhile, took all of that energy and carved her own path. Now, she grew up |
| 1:21.7 | surrounded by the fitness industry, the kind of place where diet culture was everywhere, but she |
| 1:26.4 | saw through it early on. |
| 1:28.3 | Long before body positivity became a movement, Amber was already living it. |
| 1:33.3 | She's built a beautiful day spa business that's not just about beauty, but about helping |
