How do you balance the duality of running a growing business while staying present, creative and engaged in the day-to-day?
The only way is to BE PRESENT. Practicing the art of presence in every thing I do whether it's dialogue with teachers, engaging a room full of humans in class, interacting with my husband, cooking meals, coordinating our next month schedule. Dancing through the highs and lows of life. Presence is power especially in the seek for balance in a very out of balance time.
What are some of your daily rituals?
Morning meditation. Gratitude practice (c/o Rachel Mclean via Tara Brach). Eating mostly plants. Drinking a TON of water. Moving, sweating, connecting. Doing my very best to remain open, judgement free and curious.

Can you describe the relationship you have with your team at MISFITSTUDIO?
They are my family. I deeply trust that I began the MISFITSTUDIO journey to heal my wounds and re-create a meaning around family. Women supporting women, because, it's 100% women in this family.
Can you describe your aesthetic sensibilities?
It has shifted with time and age. I used to be all about layers, textures, the more the better. Now, simple, elegant, soft lines call to me. Soothing calm space. Plant life.
What are some of your favourite objects?
My heart for breaking and healing and breaking over and over again. My strong body for holding me up through this ride. Everything else I may love, but feel no attachment to.Amber is wearing the Minimalist Black + White Ankle Boot
