Thanks for joining me here at Say Yes to the Mess! I tend to publish one free post and one paid-subscriber post per week, especially for those who are tired of pleasing, performing, and pretending to be perfect. It’s exhausting and I hope you enjoy leaning into the messiness of life here. I’m Amber Keating—licensed psychotherapist, healing coach, and recovering perfectionist. I love guiding people into greater connection with themselves, their loved ones, and the incredible world around us.

Tapping the ❤️ button lets me and others know that you find my words helpful (or just plain fun!). Forwarding this to a friend may be just the thing they need to drop their own perfectionist ways. This second post of the week is for paid subscribers only. I deeply appreciate the support—it allows me the space to write and reflect like this—and it gives you access to my fave healing resources! We’re done with pointless rules, LFG!

Say Yes to the Mess! is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
