How I Got in the Best Shape of My Life... In a Way I Never Thought Would Work

Amber Deibert

February 2, 2026

If you’ve ever set a goal, hyped yourself up, made the perfect plan and then watched it fizzle, you’re not alone. 

In this episode, I share how I finally got in the best shape of my life not by doubling down on discipline, but by taking a radically different approach: self-compassion. 

What started as an experiment led to consistent fitness, better focus, and the most confident version of myself. You'll walk away with a new framework that might just change how you


🎯 In this episode, I riff on:

↠ Why 20+ years of rigid fitness plans never worked for me

↠ How getting diagnosed with ADHD reframed my entire approach to goals

↠ The burnout that came from motivating myself with fear and adrenaline

↠ What self-acceptance actually looks like in daily habits

↠ How strength training transformed once I honored how I learn best

↠ The game-changing decision to hire a personal trainer (and why it stuck)

↠ Shifting from shame-based motivation to kindness-based action

↠ How “doing favors for my future self” became a guiding mindset

↠ The wild connection between self-compassion and peak performance

↠ Why your best results might come from being nicer to yourself

Amber Deibert...

Hi, I’m Amber, the go-to performance coach for enterprise tech sellers looking to ditch mindset trash, streamline their workday, and get more done with less friction. 

I’ve been coaching full-time for over 6 years, and with hundreds of sellers (1000+ sessions and counting!) under my belt. 

I know what it takes to help high performers reach new heights—and still have time to be present with your family + personal life.


I spent years in tech, myself. In roles like Learning & Development, Leadership, Sales Enablement, and System Administration. 


I know what it’s like to manage a mile-long to-do list and the pressure of being a top performer at a rocketship startup. 


I’ve also been where my clients are: overwhelmed, unsure of myself, and thinking everyone around me was naturally more confident and driven. 


But here's the thing—confidence isn’t about being born with it. It’s about having the right mindset and habits to back yourself up. 


That’s where I come in.
