What if your birthday wasn’t just a day to receive—but a day to reclaim?
That’s exactly what Amber Vassell did. On her birthday, she walked into her job and fired her boss—not out of spite, but out of sovereignty. And that was just the beginning.
In this week's episode of The Exit to Next It™ Podcast, I sat down with my sister in spirit, fellow Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Circle alum, and radiant force of nature, Amber Vassell. Her story? It cracked me open—and I promise it will do the same for you.
Amber is the founder of The Mamapreneur Life, a brand built to help moms stop burning out and start building legacies. She's also the creator of The NICU Navigator, a life-giving resource birthed from her own experience as a two-time NICU mom. Through these offerings, Amber isn’t just running businesses—she’s running toward healing, hope, and generational impact.
🔥 In this episode, we talk about:
The real story behind the birthday exit and how to prepare for your own
Why “watch what you say” isn’t just good advice—it’s a spiritual assignment
What it looks like to be a mother, a mogul, and still hold onto your softness
The power of accountability, community, and building slow but sacred
Why every exit should be anchored in gratitude—not bitterness
Amber reminds us that legacy doesn’t start when the empire is done—it starts the moment we stop doubting the dream.
💡 My biggest takeaways:
Your next chapter requires your full identity, not just your skillset.
You don’t have to hate where you are to move forward. Gratitude is momentum.
The messy middle is not a failure. It’s evidence that you’re moving.
Don’t just leave—launch. Exit with intention, build with alignment, and protect your peace at every stage.
