Issue #3: Messy, Bold, and Unapologetic: The Art of Becoming

Unapologetic rituals for a wealthier, wilder, and well-balanced life.

Welcome to Issue 3 of The Rebelle Ritual, the sacred space where we don’t just play by the rules—we rewrite them. This issue… it’s personal. It’s raw. It’s rebellious.

Here’s the truth: 2025 isn’t about doing more or hustling harder. It’s about me. Yep, I’m claiming it. This year, I am my biggest priority. Not in the “selfish” way society wants us to feel guilty about, but in the wildly liberating, take-up-space, unapologetic, self-devotion kind of way.

Every day, I’m choosing to show up for myself—how I live, the boundaries I fiercely protect, what I pour into the world, and the way I hold it all. Building a business? Sure, I’ll get to that. But first, I’m building me.

Because here’s the rebellious truth: when you prioritize becoming the best version of yourself, everything else aligns. The business, the relationships, the impact—they all flow from that place of light and alignment.

So let’s make 2025 the year we put ourselves first. Let’s make devotion to our highest selves the new rebellion. Let’s set boundaries so strong they become works of art. Let’s live boldly, love fiercely, and hold it all with grace—our way.

This issue is your permission slip to do the same. To reclaim your time, your energy, your boundaries, and your life. To embrace the art of becoming over the grind of doing.

Here’s to the rebels who choose themselves—first, always, and unapologetically.

Let’s rise.

💌 A Note from Amber 💌

Rebels,

Here’s your wake-up call for 2025: stop giving a fuck what anyone else is doing.

Seriously. Look around. How much of your energy is spent watching, comparing, or trying to keep up? How many dreams have you shelved because you’re worried about what others might think?

Enough.

This year isn’t about them—it’s about you. Your light. Your pace. Your priorities.

We’ve been conditioned to measure our worth against timelines that aren’t ours, values that don’t fit us, and lives we don’t even want. That stops now. You’re not here to live a copy-and-paste existence. You’re here to create, to thrive, to rebel against the noise and tune into your own frequency.

So here’s your permission slip:

• Unfollow what drains you.

• Say no to what doesn’t align.

• And most importantly, focus on your lane.

Your only competition is the version of you that held back. And this year, we’re not holding back.

Let 2025 be the year you stop watching and start becoming. Let it be the year you take up space, unapologetically, without a single care for who might not get it.

Because when you stop giving a fuck about what anyone else is doing, you start giving everything to yourself. And that, my friends, is where the magic happens.

With rebellious love,
Amber

» Feature Ritual: Messy, Bold, and Unapologetically You

This week’s feature ritual is all about embracing the chaos, ditching perfection, and leaning into the beauty of being a messy, flawed, wildly human work in progress.

Here’s the deal:
2025 isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about showing up every damn day with devotion to becoming your best self. Not perfect, just better. Not polished, just present.

The Ritual

1. Fuck Around and Find Out
   Each day, take one bold, unapologetic action that scares you a little. Speak up, try something new, or say no to what doesn’t serve you. Growth is messy—lean into it.

2. Daily Devotion
   Set aside 10 minutes every morning for you. Whether it’s journaling, meditation, movement, or just sipping coffee in silence—use this time to remind yourself who you’re becoming.

3. Unfiltered Reflection
   At the end of each day, jot down one messy, beautiful moment where you showed up for yourself. Celebrate it, even if it felt imperfect.

4. Bold Self-Care
   This week, self-care means choosing strength, truth, and action. Book that therapy session, lift that heavier weight, or sit with your raw emotions. It’s not always pretty, but it’s powerful.

5. Live Unapologetically
   Every time you feel doubt creeping in or hear the voice of judgment (yours or someone else’s), remind yourself: I’m not here to play small. I’m here to live boldly, messily, and authentically.

Mantra for the Week:

"I am devoted to my messy, unapologetic journey of becoming. Each step, no matter how imperfect, brings me closer to my light."

This is your permission slip to stop aiming for flawless and start aiming for full-hearted. Rebels, let’s rise in the mess, the boldness, and the beauty of becoming. 🖤

» For the Love of Money

Let’s get real about debt, Rebels.

Debt gets a bad rap, doesn’t it? It’s this looming, heavy thing we avoid, hide from, or beat ourselves up over. But here’s the thing: debt isn’t just a dirty word—it’s also a story about how you’ve invested in your life.

Take a moment and think:

• Did that debt buy you unforgettable memories on a trip that fed your soul?

• Did it help put food on the table when you needed it most?

• Did it allow you to invest in something—a business, a dream, a skill—that’s paving the way for your future?

Yes, debt can feel heavy. But instead of sitting in shame, let’s honor the reasons we got here. Let’s face it with boldness and grace. Because only when we acknowledge it can we start to transform it.

Ritual for Dirty Debt:

1. Reflect: Write down what your debt has afforded you. Be honest and compassionate with yourself.
   Example: "That credit card debt gave me the chance to launch my business. That loan got me through a tough time."

2. Reframe: Shift your mindset from shame to empowerment.
   Example: "This debt represents my belief in my ability to create a better future."

3. Plan: Create a bold, unapologetic strategy to tackle your debt. One step at a time. It might look like:

   • Cutting unnecessary expenses.

   • Setting up automatic payments.

   • Committing to a specific payoff timeline.

4. Celebrate: For every payment you make, celebrate the progress. Each dollar is a step closer to freedom.

Debt is part of your story—not the end of it. You have the power to turn this chapter into one of transformation, resilience, and growth.

Let’s rewrite the narrative, Rebels. Let’s face our debt, own our choices, and create the financial freedom we deserve. 🖤

Face Your Debt Like the Rebel You Are

Alright, Rebels, this week we’re not running from debt—we’re staring it down, flipping it the bird, and taking charge. No pressure. No guilt. Just you, stepping up like the badass you are and owning your future.

Here’s Your No-BS Debt Clearing Ritual:

1. Call It Out:
   Grab a pen and write down every damn thing you owe. No sugarcoating, no hiding. Get real with it—this is your power move.

2. Flip the Script:
   Look at that list and say, “You don’t own me. I’ve got this.” Remember: this debt represents what you’ve invested in—your life, your dreams, your survival. It’s not a mistake; it’s a stepping stone.

3. Make a Plan Like a Boss:

   • Pick your strategy: snowball (smallest debt first) or avalanche (highest interest first)—whatever feels right.

   • Set a goal that makes you feel unstoppable.

4. Vision Board Your Freedom:
   Every day this week, spend 5 minutes picturing your debt-free life. Feel the freedom. Imagine the audacity of living your best, unburdened life. It’s coming.

5. Celebrate the Wins:
   Every payment—no matter how small—is a victory. Pop some metaphorical champagne and remind yourself: I’m making moves, one badass step at a time.

Debt doesn’t own you, and it sure as hell doesn’t define you. You’re in control, and your bright future is waiting. Now go out there and crush it, Rebel style. 🔥💸

» The Black List: What We’re No Longer Tolerating This Week

It’s time to get clear about what’s no longer serving us. Each week, we’re burying the habits, thoughts, and patterns that hold us back.

This Week’s Black List:

• Bitchy Excuses:
  No more "I don’t have time" or "I’ll do it later." We’re showing up, messy and bold, every damn day.

• Avoiding Debt:
  Ignoring it won’t make it disappear. This week, we’re looking debt straight in the eye and making a plan like the rebels we are.

• Perfection Paralysis:
  Forget flawless. We’re here for messy truth, bold moves, and figuring it out as we go.

• Comparing Timelines:
  Your journey is yours. No more watching someone else’s lane. Eyes forward, Rebels.

• Shame Around Self-Care:
  Prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s survival. Bold self-care is the new rebellion.

• Digital Clutter & Noise:
  Inbox overload, endless scrolling, and following accounts that don’t align? Not this week. Clear it out and reclaim your energy.

• Playing Small:
  The world doesn’t need a watered-down version of you. Take up space, live unapologetically, and own your light.

The Black List isn’t just about what we’re cutting out—it’s about what we’re making room for: clarity, confidence, and bold, unapologetic growth. Let’s rise, Rebels. 🔥✨
