The guest on episode 6 of Unabridged You is New Zealander Amber Harris.

Amber is the owner and crafter of the hoodoo botanica store Roomie and Wilde and the dynamic host of the podcast Wilde.  She has been a radio host and is an internationally published tourism and indigenous rights journalist. Among other talents she is an Iridologist, conjure and rootworker woman and her self professed most important role is Mum to her wee daughter.

In this episode with Amber she shares her journey from small town New Zealand to self discovery through solo travel and ancestry to get to know herself and figure out how she would like to be in the world.  Particularly, she shared with us about the hoodoo wisdom tradition, iridology and her experience of the New York minute.

I mention that one of my favorite quotes is “Wherever you go, there you are” it is a simple idea that you may have heard in many different ways.  I grew up listening to the Eagles in their song Take it Easy they say “you may lose or you may win, but you will never be here again, don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy”.  This all relates back to what Amber called Destination Cheating and what we could consider as the idea of consciously living or being mindful of being present in the moment.  This idea is explored a bit further in the next episode of Unabridged You.
