What if the fear that’s been holding you back was never meant to be fought, but released?

Today on Seen and Heard, I’m joined by the beautiful Amber Toms, an acclaimed photographer turned creative visionary and the founder of Annie’s Garden, a soulful art brand rooted in frequency, colour therapy and spiritual connection.

Amber’s story is one of courage, creativity and deep transformation. For nearly three decades she worked as one of Australia’s leading beauty and hair photographers, creating stunning imagery for national campaigns and international magazine covers. But behind the lens, she struggled with fear, anxiety and self-doubt constantly questioning her worth, hiding her light and cancelling dream jobs out of fear she wasn’t good enough.

Through inner work, self-inquiry and personal transformation, Amber began to peel back the layers that kept her small. A powerful breakthrough during The Go-To Academy helped her uncover the root of her ‘fear’ years of hiding, masking and silencing herself and sparked a complete rebirth that became Annie’s Garden.

You’ll hear us talk about:

  • Overcoming self-doubt, anxiety and imposter syndrome
  • The deeper story behind Annie’s Garden and how it came to life
  • Healing the fear of being seen and heard
  • Letting go of perfectionism and trusting creative flow
  • Working with energy, frequency and alignment in art and life

Amber’s story is a reminder that healing happens when we stop hiding. When we take off the mask, we finally make space for our truth, creativity and freedom to flow.  That’s exactly what we do inside In Your Element, my 4-week experience to help you bring your magic together, connect to your essence, and create your own Personal Manifesto. The next round runs in February, join the waitlist now to be the first to know when doors open!
