Amber , appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.

Moving from North Dakota to Nashville was a significant change in my life, one that required immense bravery, courage, and discipline. As I reflect on this journey, I realize that I owe much of my strength and resilience to my incredible parents.
From a young age, my parents instilled in me the values of hard work, respect, authenticity, accountability, courage, gratitude, and so much more. They taught me that no dream is too big and no challenge too daunting if faced with determination and a positive attitude. Their unwavering support and belief in my potential have been my guiding light.
My mother, with her boundless love and nurturing spirit, has always been my rock. She showed me the importance of kindness, empathy, and the power of a warm smile. Her wisdom and patience have shaped me into the person I am today.
My father, with his steadfast discipline and unwavering principles, has been my role model. He taught me the value of hard work and the importance of standing up for what is right. His courage and strength have inspired me to face life’s challenges head-on.
Together, my parents created a home filled with love, laughter, and endless support. They celebrated my successes and stood by me during my failures, always encouraging me to learn and grow. Their sacrifices and dedication have not gone unnoticed, and I am eternally grateful for everything they have done for me.
I wouldn’t be where I am today without their love and support. Even when my ideas seemed a bit crazy, they never wavered in their encouragement. They believed in me when I doubted myself and provided a safe haven where I could always return. Knowing that home will always be there, no matter where life takes me, gives me the confidence to pursue my dreams fearlessly.
Their support was especially evident when they helped me drive across the country, a 16-hour journey, to move me into my new home in Nashville. Their presence made the transition smoother and less daunting. The goodbye we shared was not forever, but just for now, as I know that our bond remains strong despite the distance.
As I continue to navigate this new chapter in Nashville, I carry with me the lessons and values my parents have imparted. Their love and guidance have given me the courage to pursue my dreams and the strength to overcome any obstacle.
Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being my pillars of strength and my greatest supporters. This tribute is a small token of my immense gratitude and love for you both.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
