Breaking Silence: Reclaiming Your Voice with Amber Nicole Hayes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Amber Nicole Hayes is an entrepreneur and author of The Obedient Daughter — a powerful memoir about breaking silence, confronting trauma, and reclaiming your voice.
After leaving the corporate world to build her own design business, Amber’s greatest transformation happened internally. At 37, after carrying the secret of childhood sexual abuse for 25 years, she faced a battle with depression that ultimately became the catalyst for radical honesty and healing. Refusing to dilute her truth — even when it meant walking away from a publisher — Amber chose integrity over comfort.
Today, she is an advocate for women’s empowerment, mental health awareness, and breaking generational cycles of trauma. Guided by her two daughters — her ultimate “why” — Amber lives her message daily through movement, mindfulness, therapy, and fearless authenticity.
