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!

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women.

Not breast cancer. Not osteoporosis. Not “old age.”

And here’s the part that should make every woman in America scream into a pillow:

Your risk skyrockets after menopause.

Not because you suddenly became “unhealthy”…

But because your hormones start dropping and your cardiovascular system loses protection.

Because estrogen doesn’t just regulate your cycle. It regulates your arteries.

Progesterone doesn’t just help with sleep. It supports vascular tone and blood pressure.

Testosterone doesn’t just impact libido. It supports lean muscle, metabolism, and insulin sensitivity—aka the stuff your heart depends on.

So if you’ve been told hormones are just about “hot flashes”…You’ve been lied to.

Hormone decline affects heart health by increasing:
Arterial stiffness
Inflammation
LDL cholesterol
Insulin resistance
Visceral fat storage
Blood pressure instability

Translation?

Perimenopause is when heart disease begins quietly building which is why this month matters.

Need help balancing your hormones to reduce your risk of heart disease? Visit https://thestewproject.com/supplement-shop/ to shop some of my favorite supplements and protocols that have helped my clients reduce their symptoms without any unwanted side effects.

Life has a way of getting loud with the constant deadlines, responsibilities, expectations, and constant pressure which can drown out that quiet, inner voice that nudges you to take a leap, set a boundary, or step outside what’s familiar.

When stress is running the show, logic takes over and intuition gets silenced.

You start making decisions based on fear, urgency, or survival instead of clarity. Not because you don’t know what you want, but because your nervous system doesn’t feel safe enough to listen.

But living with your heart doesn’t mean ignoring your head.
It means learning how to calm your body, regulate stress, and create enough internal stability to hear your intuition clearly... and then use your mind to act on it strategically.

Sometimes the clearest decisions come when the body finally feels safe enough to listen. That’s where wellness becomes more than aesthetics.

Mindful eating, intentional movement, and nervous-system–supportive habits help pull you out of survival mode and back into your body. As you reconnect with physical cues (hunger, fullness, tension, release) you also regain access to discernment, intuition, and thoughtful decision-making.

Need help? In just eight weeks, my Mind-Body Mastery course will teach you how to understand your patterns so you can rewire them in order to feel more at home in your body, have steadier energy, and build the self-confidence needed to make decisions you’ve been avoiding, whether that’s a career move, a relationship shift, or a personal choice you’ve been postponing.

If you’re ready to lose the gut while learning to trust it more then visit thestewproject.com/mind-body-mastery to learn more. I hope this helps 💕

🤣🤣🤣 Sometimes The Divine has to shake up your life to help you refocus on your goals.

That random setback, disappointment or heartbreak isn't here to hurt you, but to help you realign with your higher purpose.

Back in the day God would just send a fish to swallow you up or have your walk around in the wilderness for a few decades to help you get back on track. Fortunately times have changed.

Instead of focusing on the setback or disappointment, instead focus on what it is trying to teach you. If you are alive and breathing then God has a plan for you... Are you listening for the instructions??

I hope this helps 💕

Busy professionals are often so focused on outcomes (losing weight, performing better at work, hitting the next milestone) that they overlook the small, daily decisions quietly shaping those results.

The rushed meals.
The skipped rest.
The constant pushing.
The habit of ignoring what your body and intuition are asking for because there’s always something more urgent.

These choices don’t feel dramatic in the moment, but over time they can compound. And if left unchecked, they can potentially determine whether you feel clear or reactive, energized or depleted, aligned or stuck.

That’s why real change doesn’t come from one big decision, it comes from learning how to move differently day to day.

Because the smallest decisions you make today shape the life you’ll be living tomorrow. If you're interested to learn practical insights on reconnecting with your authentic self and if you want to learn how to:

🌟 Identify patterns that keep you stuck,
🌟 Stop abandoning yourself under pressure, and
🌟 Make decisions that support who you’re becoming instead of who you’ve been surviving as

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.

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! 💕

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. 💕
