In this episode, Amber and Steven dive into the difference between being nice and being good. They explore how people pleasing, avoiding conflict, and saying yes too often can quietly damage relationships, leadership, and personal growth. Being nice may feel easier in the moment, but being good requires integrity, boundaries, and the courage to face hard conversations head on.
They talk about leadership in business, marriage, and parenting, and why avoiding conflict only allows problems to grow. Amber shares how avoiding hard conversations creates resentment and burnout, while Steven explains why clarity, honesty, and firm boundaries build trust over time. Together they unpack how unresolved issues at home, in relationships, or in personal health eventually show up in your business and performance.
This episode also touches on parenting, communication styles, people pleasing, and the importance of emotional preparation before difficult conversations. Amber shares how being too nice can enable behavior that ultimately hurts everyone involved, while Steven emphasizes the value of direct communication rooted in truth and care.
If you are struggling with boundaries, avoiding hard conversations, or feeling overwhelmed from saying yes when you should say no, this episode will challenge you to choose integrity over comfort and growth over approval.
