324, Why 'Little House on the Prairie' Values Are Coming Back
In today's episode, I'm taking you back to the prairie, to 'Little House on the Prairie,' Michael Landon, Half-Pint, and the traditional values so many of us are secretly craving again. I share why I've always felt like a tiny, "frothy spirit" version of Laura Ingalls myself, what hit me so deeply about seeing the cast older in a recent documentary, and why their real-life challenges only make us love them more. I explore why searches for traditional values, simple living, homestead lifestyle, and slow living are rising, and what Little House on the Prairie still teaches us about family, community, faith, and meaningful work in a noisy, overwhelmed world. In this episode, I talk about: • Why Little House on the Prairie still resonates in 2025 • The quiet power of Michael Landon's warmth and father-figure energy • How Half-Pint (Laura Ingalls) became a blueprint for so many of us • The rise of searches for "traditional values," "simple living," and "slow living" • Practical ways to bring "prairie values" into a very modern life • My own story as a "frothy spirit" who identifies with Laura If you've ever wanted less chaos, more calm, and a life that feels simple but deeply meaningful, this episode is for you. Listen, share with a fellow Little House lover, and subscribe for more episodes on traditional values, simple living, emotional grounding, and building a gentler life in a loud world. Love and peace always, Amber xoxo

323, The Little Things That Make Life Beautiful: Roses, Dreams, Fairy Lights & Everyday Magic
In today's episode, I explore the tiny beautiful things that brighten our lives and the moments that bring unexpected joy into our everyday. I talk about: The rose that blooms year-round, and why small consistencies matter How scent, and memories, dreams, and mindfulness can instantly shift our mood The soft magic of fairy lights and the comfort of warm glow The importance of recognising your "little dreams" coming true Why the smallest moments often hold the greatest emotional power Why do I mention these things? Because... A fragrant rose. A quiet moment. A soft light on a dark evening. These aren't "small" things, they're nourishment. They are the moments that bring us back to ourselves. Why This Topic Matters In a world that moves too fast, we overlook the moments that actually bring us joy. This episode encourages you to slow down, breathe, and start noticing: The way nature keeps offering us gifts The tiny details that lift our spirits unexpectedly The sensory experiences that bring us back to ourselves Mindfulness doesn't always look like meditation. Sometimes it looks like stopping to smell a rose. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply moving too fast through the world, this episode invites you to slow down and rediscover the beauty in the simple things. This episode is perfect for anyone craving calm, grounding, or a reminder that beauty still exists in the everyday. With peace and love always, Amber xoxo

322, The Crackle of Ice: Finding Purpose In The Small Moments of Life
In today's episode, on a still winter morning, a tiny frozen puddle becomes the beginning of a quiet moment of awareness I reflect on the beauty of our senses, how easily we overlook small everyday moments, and why career prestige doesn't always bring true fulfillment. Later, inspired by a powerful message from journalist Sami Hamdi, I muse about his idea of intention, sincerity, and the role each of us can play in addressing both local and global inequities. In a world connected through social media, our individual choices matter more than ever. This episode is a gentle reminder for me and you to slow down, notice what's around us, and consider how small actions and mindful awareness can contribute to a more compassionate, responsible way of living, choosing intention over indifference.
