My Guest Presentation at Ian Koniak's UYSP 2025 Retreat
Amber Deibert
August 4, 2025
I’m sharing a raw, personal presentation I gave at Ian Koniak’s Untap Your Sales Potential retreat, where the theme was Scars to Success.
I reveal my full backstory: growing up in poverty, struggling with perfectionism, chasing achievement for self-worth and the breakdown that changed everything.
You'll hear the painful (and funny) moments that shaped me, the survival strategies that got me far (until they didn’t), and the emotional healing I had to do to finally feel like I was enough, exactly as I am.
If you’ve ever felt like achievement is the only way to prove yourself, this episode will hit home in a powerful way.
In this episode I riff on:
↠ Growing up in chaos, and how it shaped my nervous system
↠ Using achievement as a way to earn love and worth
↠ Why people-pleasing and perfectionism eventually collapse
↠ The burnout moment that forced me to finally look inward
↠ Learning self-compassion and modeling it for the first time
↠ Why you don’t need to fix yourself to be worthy
↠ The power of “protecting the asset” (aka YOU)
↠ What growth looks like without proving yourself
