About Me


 Hi, I'm Amber

Welcome to The Modern Sage Life, a resource dedicated to helping you live your best life by providing friendly life advice, personal development tips, life hacks, and more.




About Me

Growing up, I was a pretty serious little kid. 

I was always wondering “why?” and asking what my mom called “big black box” questions like...

  • What is my purpose in life? 
  • What is happiness? 
  • How do I discover my passions? 

Questions no one seemed to be able to help me answer...


As I got older, these questions became more and more important and I started looking for some helpful advice. 

I read my Bible and went to church. 

I attended college and studied abroad. 

I got into personal development and became something of a natural health junkie.


Having graduated during the turmoil of the pandemic without securing a steady job, and recovering from the effects of a family tragedy, I can’t say this is what I envisioned for my 20s. 

But this is just the beginning and I hope you’ll join me on my adventure on this amazing thing called life!



Maybe you’re looking for some friendly advice, or encouragement, or ways to live more abundantly.  Whatever the reasons that brought you to my blog, I hope you will take away something helpful from my experiences (and even my mistakes).


What to Expect

With all that being said, I’m a jetsetter, aspiring writer, and linguist who also loves tea. So don’t be surprised when those posts pop up.

Getting Started with Mindfulness

Image
April 18, 2023 If you are interested in living an extraordinary life, you've probably heard of mindfulness as a way to add a little more peace, focus, and presence to your day to day life.  Like me, you might have heard the word and agreed with the idea, but (ironically enough) either never had the time to really look into it, or thought that you were already a pretty mindful person. Well, whether you've managed the time or are looking to simply enhance your mindfulness, this post is for you. What Exactly is Mindfulness? So, what exactly is mindfulness, you might ask?  It's a state of being fully present and engaged in the moment, without judgment or distraction.  Mindfulness is all about tuning in to your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings in a non-judgmental way and with an open mind. Nowadays, mindfulness gets overused as a trendy buzzword, but its roots actually go back thousands of years to ancient Eastern practices like Buddhism and Taoism.  This concept was first i

Self-Forgiveness the First Step Towards Self-Love

Image
Hey there, friend! This week, it was like everything I was listening to/reading/etc. all kept going back to a common theme: self-forgiveness. And it wasn't like I had ever consciously avoided self-forgiveness, it was just never on my radar until this week when I got hit over the head with it, which got me to thinking about self-forgiveness as the first step towards self-love (which is something I'm trying to cultivate more of). So today, we're going to talk about the art of self-forgiveness. And I write this as much to myself as to whoever is reading. Self-forgiveness is the act of forgiving yourself for any past mistakes or wrongdoings. Self-forgiveness is the act of forgiving yourself for any past mistakes. It's like giving yourself a big hug and saying, "It's okay, I forgive you!"  Self-forgiveness is crucial for our mental and emotional well-being. Holding onto guilt and shame (which are two of the lowest vibrations/frequencies) can lead to negative th
