Summary
Amber Rae came into the world with a lot of wonder. But that shifted into worry, which was influenced by the need for validation and approval from certain peers. After building a life and career that looked successful on paper, she decided to follow her curiosity, choose herself, and choose wonder.
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.
