Introducing..."Ask Amber" Insights From A to Sex!

Introducing....my MENTOR!!!!

As you know my mentor has had a huge impact on my personal growth. One day, we were thinking how it would be so great to reach out to more people than Amber influences on a daily basis. That's where the idea of "Ask Amber" was born. "Ask Amber" is a safe forum for you to ask your relationship questions. Email your question to alyssadani@gmail.com and I'll get it to her. Like a "Dear Abby" letter, you will be anonymous, so feel free to use your favorite pseudonym. With that, I'll turn the time over to my mentor, Amber Hopkins.

"How's your sex life?"

"Excuse me?!!" "Tell me about your sex life?" "That's not my complaint about my spouse."

"Maybe not, but it usually comes back to that if you look hard enough."

In the 20+ years that I have been coaching and mentoring married couples, I have come to find that what happens in the bedroom reflects itself in other areas of our marriage and interactions. Our ability to succeed as partners in life is based on the foundation of clear and effective communication, and nothing comes closer than the need to start at the physical and intimate level.

Because of the discomfort that too often surrounds the topic, many married couples are having less than satisfying experiences with the most exciting and bonding experience that a man and woman can have.

This topic is not addressed enough. Our goal is to open a safe forum for men and woman to get answers to something that is all too often swept under the carpet as inappropriate or too private. We have been commanded to multiply and replenish the earth and the extent of all of that entails is far-reaching. The more knowledge and information we have, the more joy you bring into our lives.

Meet Amber:

Amber's favorite motto is, "Don't look back, you're not going that way." This does not discourage learning from our mistakes but rather encourages us to take what we have created, whether for ill or virtue, and move forward focusing on what we can build instead of getting stuck in what has already passed on.

Born and raised as the eldest of 7 in the sunny state of California and then rearing 6 children of her own in the rocky mountains of Colorado, Amber's experiences with relationships, family and struggles has been vast. Between her own battles and those fought with others, she has engaged:

home-birth

food & eating disorders

loss of business

suicide

struggles with children

divorce

sexual abuse

dysfunctional marriages

depression

religious frustrations

unexpected death

non-traditional educational options for children

job loss

low self worth

bankruptcy

sexual concerns

death of a child

illness

Her travels and adventures have allowed her to interact in myriad ways with women and families. From hospital c-sections and home birthing, public schooling and homeschooling, alternative health options and surgeries, business owner to waitress, mentoring adults and youth, insurance agent to homesteader (yes, she has owned chickens), public speaking and leadership training's, and performing and producing; Amber believes that all of us have the potential to do great things if we can just get out of our own way. Sometimes we are our own worst deterrent from what we want. Like a fire breathing dragon, confused by the blackened forest that was once lush and green, we oft times don't see it is our own actions and behaviors that are destroying the possibilities for pure growth and joy around us. Amber is an avid reader with a main focus on Leadership, Families, Marriage and Health. She has tau

ght public classes ranging from Patriotism and the Constitution, to Time Management and Clutter to Order, as well as delivered several speeches on a wide ranges of topics on mental and emotional wellbeing. She is one of the founding mothers of Statesmen and Leadership for America and currently is a co-owner of Create Your Success Institute.
