She Made $30K After Tapping: A Neuroscience Student on the Female Brain & Abundance

What happens when a neuroscience student tries tapping… and $30,000 comes into her business four days later? 👀

I met today’s guest, Amber, at Powerhouse Women—and when I ran into her again at Living Brave Live in Denver, she stopped me in line and said:

“My husband and I did the tapping on your podcast…and we brought in $30,000 in four days.”

Obviously, I needed the whole story.

So we left the event, went back to my hotel room, turned on the microphones and recorded what became one of my favorite conversations yet.

Amber is an entrepreneur, wellness expert and neuroscience grad student who spent more than two decades working in television before following a calling into an entirely different chapter of her life.

And this conversation goes SO much deeper than her $30K tapping story.

We talk about the female brain, hormones, perimenopause, ADHD, neuroplasticity and emotional regulation—including why so many women reach a stage of life where they suddenly feel different in their bodies, their relationships, their businesses and even their identities.

Amber shares what she’s learning about the relationship between hormones and the brain, why women need to advocate for themselves when they know something feels off, and what she believes women need to understand as they move through perimenopause and menopause.

We also dive into the difference between the brain and the mind and the incredible concept of neuroplasticity: your brain can continue creating and strengthening new neural pathways throughout your life.

And, of course, I couldn't help but connect this back to tapping.

I share the analogy I was taught years ago: an old belief can feel like a highway in your brain, while a new belief begins as a dirt road. Every time we interrupt the old pattern and reinforce the new one, we're helping pave a different road.

But some of my favorite moments in this episode have nothing to do with science.

They're about becoming.

Amber shares why she had to release the need to be the expert in everything and instead trust herself as the visionary.

We talk about being called into work that doesn't necessarily make sense to everyone else, letting yourself pivot, releasing perfectionism, becoming more visible, and learning to receive the support required for your next level.

And then Amber shares the belief she's currently working to release:

“All abundance comes from hard work.”

OOF.

Her new mantra?

Surrender to support.

If you're a high-achieving woman who knows you're being called into something bigger—but part of you still believes you have to work harder, control everything or do it all yourself to get there—this conversation is for you.
