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!

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!

One of the biggest reasons busy professionals feel stuck with their health is because their lifestyle quietly pushes them into poor eating habits, but then they try to fix it by exercising harder. Make it make sense! 🫠

I mean I get it. When work is demanding and stress is constant, meals become rushed or skipped, protein and fiber drop, micronutrients fall short, and caffeine fills the gaps.

But what some may not realize is that your body doesn’t interpret that as discipline. It interprets it as stress. Cortisol rises, appetite increases, inflammation builds, and fat loss becomes harder, not easier.

So what do most people do next?
They double down on workouts. Oof. 🥴

Unfortunately, exercise can’t outwork an under-fed, over-stressed body.
Without the right nutrition and mindset in place, pushing harder in the gym just adds more pressure to a system that’s already overwhelmed. The quickest way to get your metabolism back working FOR you instead of AGAINST you is by detoxing (properly).

Think of detoxing like taking your body through a car wash. If your car isn't really that dirty, then of course you can get by with a basic wash, but if you have been driving through muddy terrain and made a mess, then yes, you will need to give your vehicle the works.

In the same sense, if you’ve been running on takeout, poor sleep, chronic stress, and nutrient depletion to keep up with a busy life, a basic wash won’t cut it. You need something stronger that clears inflammation, replenishes nutrients, and helps your system reset properly.

Need help? I offer 3 different Nutrition Reset cleanses, each designed for different levels of stress, burnout, and metabolic demand. You can learn more about them by visiting thestewproject.com/nutrition-reset/

Not sure if you need a detox, or if you're currently detoxing correctly? These blogs can help give you clarity:

Sure, we may have been taught how to obey the rules of the law and how to follow the Ten Commandments… but how many of us were taught how to actually LIVE?

Most busy professionals do everything “right.”
They work hard, stay responsible, show up for others, and keep pushing forward... yet somehow joy becomes optional, postponed, or forgotten altogether.

Happiness gets reduced to moments in between stress.
Peace becomes something we hope to feel later.

But happiness isn't dependent on what you have or who you're with. Happiness depends on ourselves.

Not on circumstances. Not on outcomes. Not on everything finally calming down or coming into place.

If you’re craving more joy and fulfillment in your daily life (not just on vacations or after milestones) then I have a new Back to Joy: The Happiness Reset Blueprint that is just for you.

This series is for you if:
😊 You want to experience happiness or peace no matter what’s happening around you
😊 You’re ready to identify the beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck and change them
😊 You’re tired of living everyone else’s dreams and want to reconnect with your own path
😊 You want practical tools to help you choose your emotional state and feel good in real time

Joy isn’t something you stumble into. It’s something you learn how to cultivate and my Happiness Reset Blueprint can help you achieve all of that and more.

Ready to turn that frown upside down?

Most people assume the secret to staying youthful is the right supplement, serum, or skincare routine. And while those can help, they only work on the surface.

What actually shows up on your face over time is unprocessed stress, emotional overwhelm, and unresolved wounds.

You’ve probably noticed it before how people develop fine lines, dark circles, or sudden aging during mentally or emotionally heavy seasons of life. That’s not coincidence, the body keeps score.

As you clear emotional issues and release limiting beliefs or heavy baggage from the past, you are actually lighter. Your frequency is higher. You love yourself, and life, more and over time you begin to resemble the perfect you that you really are.

Healing doesn’t erase imperfections.
It allows your inner light to confidently shine through your scars.

If you’re ready to heal past trauma, overcome limiting beliefs, and look and feel younger in 8 weeks (without sacrificing your career or personal responsibilities), then click the link below to learn more about my Mind-Body Mastery Course, which is HSA/FSA eligible. I hope this helps. 💕

I don’t look the same way I did over 10 years ago. No. You won’t see six-pack abs anymore, and yes… if I slouch, I get rolls in places I didn’t before.

And honestly?
I look exactly how I want to look in this season of my life.

I would gladly trade a little extra body fat, a longer warm-up, less flexibility, and fewer late nights out for what I’ve gained instead: nervous system regulation, emotional stability, stronger boundaries, and a body that feels safe to live in.

There was a time when I was in the “best shape” of my life physically—but mentally, I was burning out, anxious, disconnected, and constantly pushing past my limits. I don’t miss that version of strength.

After I healed the habits, beliefs, and relationships that contributed to burnout, anxiety, and depression, my body now reflects sustainability, wisdom and self-trust more that 'elite fitness professional'.

I'll let you in on a littler secret: It’s easier to get in the best shape of our life when you know how to heal past trauma, overcome limiting beliefs, and set boundaries you were conditioned to never create.

Real health isn’t about clinging to an old body. It’s about building a life your body doesn’t have to survive from.

This version of me?
She’s not shrinking.
She's not hiding behind masks .
She’s grounded, standing in her power... and that’s where real transformation begins. I hope this helps. 💕

Busy professionals are often taught a quiet lie:� Handle life first. Fix your health later.

So when work gets intense, relationships feel heavy, or stress spikes, health becomes the first thing sacrificed—movement stops, meals slide, rest disappears. And then we wonder why everything else starts to feel harder.

Most people forget that your external world reflects your internal world.� And when you set an intention to grow—healthier habits, clearer boundaries, a more fulfilling life—disruption often follows intention. Not because you’re doing it wrong, but because alignment requires recalibration.

Healing your body supports your nervous system.� A regulated nervous system sharpens your focus, decision-making, and intuition.� That internal steadiness is what allows you to navigate pressure, uncertainty, and success without burning out or abandoning yourself.

You don’t have to choose between building your life or caring for your body.� When both are supported together, progress becomes sustainable instead of fragile.

This is what real alignment looks like:� not stopping your goals every time life gets busy, but learning how to move through challenge while staying rooted in your health.

Because when your body and your life are aligned, momentum replaces force… and fulfillment stops feeling so far away. I hope this helps. 💕
