The STEW Project

The STEW Project I make it easy for people to reduce overwhelm, manage their health, find balance & enjoy life again.

Hi, I’m Amber Stewart! 💪✨ Owner of The STEW Project, I help people unlock their full potential through wellness. With 11 years as an Exercise Physiologist, I realized true transformation comes from addressing life’s stressors at the core. Now, I coach others using my 4-step Stress Alchemy framework to overcome obstacles in any area of their life and thrive!

It's kind of scary to believe that our reality is created in the mind, especially when when stress is running the show in your life and multiple demands are competing for your attention.

💼 Work demands are piling up
🫂 Family obligations are never-ending
🥴 Meanwhile peace and quiet seem like a distant reality,

Clear and intuitively sound decisions can be clouded by survival mode.

In that state, your nervous system is focused on getting through the day, not tuning into subtle signals, gut instincts, or long-term alignment which is why so many busy professionals second-guess themselves, stay stuck in draining environments, or make choices from pressure instead of inner knowing.

The tricky part? Survival mode feels productive.
You’re busy. You’re handling things. You’re pushing through.

But intuition doesn’t speak loudly when your body feels unsafe.

The good news is that small, intentional shifts in your daily life - how you eat, move, rest, and respond to stress - can gently pull you out of survival mode while improving your mental, physical, and emotional health at the same time.

As your nervous system settles, clarity returns.
Decisions feel cleaner.
Your body starts working with you again instead of against you. Need help?

In just 8 weeks, Mind-Body Mastery helps you recognize your stress triggers and how they quietly drive eating habits that lead to bloating, inflammation, and stubborn weight gain, so you can make choices from clarity instead of fear.

Ready to strengthen your gut instinct while shrinking your waist?

I hope this helps!

How often do we ask for a miracle, yet completely overlook the small "coincidences" that are actually lining up to guide us?

Maybe those subtle alignments aren't random luck at all, but the very miracles we've been waiting for, showing up in disguise.

It can be hard to open your eyes to the 'anonymous' grace at work in your life when you are bombarded with to-do lists, priorities and possibly dealing with chronic pain or health issues.

In just eight weeks, my Mind-Body Mastery course can help you recognize your true hunger and satiety cues so you can stop eating your emotions, feel more at home in your body, and finally have the energy and self-confidence to make the decisions you’ve been avoiding.

Whether it’s a career move, a relationship shift, or a personal choice you’ve been postponing, you’ll have the internal stability to act with clarity.

If you’re ready to lose the gut while learning to trust it more — and ready to understand your patterns so you can rewire them good — this is your foundation.

Buy it as a stand-a-lone or bundle it with one of my Nutrition Reset cleanses if you are looking to reset your metabolism, balance your hormones, or recover from burnout. Visit thestewproject.com/mind-body-mastery for more details. I hope this helps! 💕

🤣🤣🤣 Look, I know it’s a privilege to work with a trainer you’re comfortable with…
but we should ALL have limits 🫠

If you want something that’s actually built for real life (busy schedules, stress, joint pain, and all), my January Specials are for you.

Because when you’re dealing with a demanding career, chronic conditions, or nagging pain, you don’t just need a “well-recommended” program . You need someone who will:
💪🏾 Help you see how daily habits are contributing to pain and burnout

💪🏾 Make workouts *and* eating healthy enjoyable (not miserable)

💪🏾 Build fitness goals that work **with** your career and personal life

💪🏾 Support progress that’s sustainable—even through life’s ups and downs

If you’re serious about your wellness this year but want a laid-back, realistic approach, remember my January Specials are only available for one more week:

✨ Nutrition Reset + FREE 4-Week Personalized Workout Plan

✨ 6-Month Group Coaching for managing or reversing HBP, T2D, joint pain, fatigue + more

✨ Online Fitness Coaching (Enrollment Fee Waived — last month available)

No cookie-cutter plans.
No unrealistic food rules.
Just a strategy that supports your nervous system while you build a body that actually lasts.

DM me “JANUARY RESET” to grab the details before they’re gone. I hope this helps 💕

Let's be honest. Busy professionals are MASTERS at using excuses as emotional relief.

“I’m too tired.”
“I’ll start Monday.”
“I’ve got too much going on right now.”
“I’ll take care of me when life calms down.”

Excuses feel good in the moment because they reduce pressure… but they also keep you stuck in the same patterns.

Most of the time it’s not that you don’t want change, it’s that change requires discomfort, consistency, and letting go of the old version of you.

Progress doesn’t come from perfection.
It comes from choosing your future even when your feelings want you to choose familiar.

If you’re ready to stop resisting change and take action with more confidence, these two blogs will help:

Busy professionals never really have time to process grief or difficult emotions when an unexpected tragedy or loss arises.

You show up.
You handle it.
You keep moving.
You stay productive… even when something inside you is breaking down quietly.

Though we may assume the emotions will dissolve into our belly fat or be passed with the detox shake we take, but suppressed emotions don’t disappear. Instead, they just find a new way to speak.

Sometimes it looks like chronic irritability and a short fuse over small things.
Sometimes it’s anxiety that shows up the moment you finally sit down.
Sometimes it’s overworking, overachieving, or staying busy so you don’t have to feel.
Sometimes it’s emotional eating, insomnia, burnout, or the sudden urge to quit everything and disappear.

In relationships, it can sound like “I’m fine” when you’re not.
It can look like shutting down, snapping, people-pleasing, or pulling away the moment you feel misunderstood.

At work, it can show up as procrastination, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or feeling drained even when you’re doing “what you’re supposed to do.”

Your darkness isn’t something to run away from or be ashamed of.
It’s actually proof that something needs your attention.

So instead of fighting it, get curious.

What is this feeling trying to protect you from?
What boundary are you avoiding?
What truth are you afraid to admit?
What part of you is asking to be seen so you can finally heal and move forward?

Your shadow isn’t your enemy.
It’s information. I hope this helps. 💕

Having a hard time sticking to your wellness goals? It might be your mindset.

In The Upside of Stress, Dr. Kelly McGonigal explains that even your beliefs about aging can shape your will to live as you get older. People with negative views of aging are more likely to make health choices with worse outcomes than those who see aging as growth and possibility.

Translation?
Your beliefs don’t just live in your head… they show up in your habits, your body, and your decisions.

And if you’ve ever felt like you “can’t stay consistent,” you’re not alone. Research shows 23% of people quit their New Year goals by the end of week one, and 43% quit by the end of January. Even when people start strong, only 19% maintain changes for two years.

That’s why mindset work + coaching matters. Not because you “lack discipline,” but because most people don’t have the structure and support to stay consistent when life gets loud (which is when these habits matter most).

✨ If you’re ready to do this differently, keep in mind that my January Specials are still available for a limited of time:

✅ Get a FREE 4-Week Personalized Workout Plan with the purchase of ANY Nutrition Reset Plan

✅ Find better ways to manage chronic conditions like HBP, T2D, arthritis etc and so you can reduce symptoms as well as your need for medication with my 6-Month Group coaching plan for only $125/month! It kicks off in February so save your spot since spots are filling up!

✅ Are you ready to get in to the best shape of your life and get the coaching to help you maintain it for a lifetime? January will be your last chance to sign up for my Online Fitness Coaching program and the Enrollment Fee is WAIVED.

🚨 Don't forget that TODAY (Jan 18) is the LAST DAY to save 25% off Designs for Health supplements. So stock

There was a study on hotel room attendants where researchers taught one group that their daily cleaning work already counted as exercise. Nothing about their job changed… but their results did. In just a few weeks, the group who believed their work was healthy activity saw improvements in weight, blood pressure, and body composition.

That’s the power of perception.

When two outcomes are possible (like movement improving your health or your busy life draining you) your expectations influence which outcome becomes more likely.

So if you see your routine as “too exhausting to take care of myself,” your body will respond like it’s under constant strain. But if you start viewing your habits as support: fuel, movement, recovery, then your body starts working with you again.

In other words: the effect you expect is the effect you get.

Ready to change the outcome you keep getting? You have just 16 days left in January to take advantage of my Specials which include:

✨ Nutrition Reset + FREE 4-Week Personalized Workout Plan
✨ 6-Month Group Coaching for chronic conditions like HBP, Type 2 Diabetes, joint pain, fatigue
✨ Online Fitness Coaching (Enrollment Fee Waived)

And heads up: January is the final month I’m offering Online Fitness Training moving forward. So if you’ve been waiting for “less busy”… this is the moment to lock in a plan that fits your real life.

DM me “JANUARY RESET” and I’ll help you choose the best option for your goals. I hope this helps. 💕

Whether it’s fixed or growth-oriented, your mindset is your lens to the world and it determines how you perceive every opportunity, every challenge, and every relationship.

Many people forget (or fail to realize) that our lens is shaped by unprocessed trauma. Be it:
A rejection letter.
A breakup.
A car accident.
A moment that made you feel unsafe, unseen, or stuck. Without realizing it, those experiences can convince you that certain dreams aren’t for you… or that certain paths aren’t safe.

But what if that story isn’t the truth?

If certain past experiences keeping you from stepping into your full potential - or
if you find yourself constantly triggered, but don’t have the time, or tools to process those emotions to move forward - then my new free Shadow Work Workbook can help.

It was created for busy professionals who don’t have hours to spare, but do want to reclaim the mindset that shapes their future. Through short, focused reflection, you'll begin to shift your perspective, re-frame your challenges, and return your power to where it belongs: in your own hands.

Your destiny isn’t outside of you. It begins with the way you see yourself today. Click the link below to visit The STEW Project's Resource Hub for more details. I hope this helps!
