I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability, Amber. Can’t remember how I came across your Substack, but I very much appreciate what you share. Thank you.

Oh I am excited by this Substack (I wanted to say blog, my anxiety wouldn't let me as I'm not sure if substacks are blogs? 😅)

I can relate so much to what you've said, all throughout. I've work with mums and babies over the last few years in a baby class/infant wellness consultancy capacity, and have done a lot of reading into child psychology etc. I've found it incredibly healing and enlightening to find reasons for why I am who I am, after experiencing a fair (or should I say unfair) amount of childhood trauma. It's really so beneficial to try to understand ourselves, and to apply that understanding to the wider world

I can also relate to your own anxiety as a kid, I used to worry that I would die before reaching the end of a book, so would read the last chapter first. I'm very pleased to report I no longer do this, as it often lead to spoilers...

Anyway, I look forward to your next post, and happy new year ♥️
