Focus Friday: On Being Your Best Sep 14, 2018

Show notes

There is a quote by Voltaire that goes, "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." Meaning, don't let the fact that you can't do something perfectly, be the reason you don't go for it.

In today's Focus Friday, I share with you what I believe it means to show up as the best version of ourselves each and every day- even if some days, our "best" might not look like what we think it should.

In this episode:

Today's message, Being Our Best [ 2:33 ]
The central question I ask myself each day in order to be of service [ 4:59 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"The moments when I feel like I want to run, move or dance the least, are the moments when I need it the most."
"What is required of me in order to show up as my very best today?"
"Focus on what matters the most, so you can make the biggest impact possible during your time here."
"Use your minutes, use your moments, use your time to give all of yourself to your day- and watch what happens next."

Amber Lilyestrom on Near-Death Experience + Reflections Aug 28, 2018

Show notes

5 years ago this week, I stopped breathing on the operating room table as I was about to give birth to my daughter, Anni.

In the moments & spaces between new life and the unknown, understandings and knowings of truth washed over me...and I, myself, was reborn.

In today's episode, I share the reflections + lessons I have learned over the last 5 years since those uncertain moments; and the biggest takeaways that my own brush with death taught me about this precious and magical life that I have been given the gift of living.

In this episode:

iTunes review of the week [ 1:25 ]
Anni's 5th birthday, and the 5-year anniversary of my near-death experience [ 4:25 ]
What really happened on the operating room table [ 8:45 ]
What I've learned in the last 5 years [ 17:45 ]
Learning how to discern between the voice of my ego + the voice of my truth [ 23:35 ]
The journey unfolds as it should [ 27:49 ]
Final thoughts on the lessons I've learned [ 30:26 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"These memories, these moments, are priceless...they are the sounds of life."
"You are the only person who gets to decide what your truth is."
"My work, my mission, my purpose in this life- is joy. Which requires me to be courageous in my truth."
"I don't want to forget these moments, I want to be fully present in them."
"What I learned, was all that meets us when we die is a feeling of love, appreciation and gratitude; it's a resounding grace that wraps itself around us. And if that's what meets us when we die, what do we have to be so afraid of while we're living?"
"It's time to stand in your truth, it's time to live it out. It's time to make the impact that you were put here to make."

Focus Friday: How to Get Happy Now Aug 24, 2018

Show notes

What could happen in our lives if we stopped waiting for happiness to come to us, and started finding it within ourselves?

I have a tendency, when I'm caught up in the swirl, to place my happiness in the future- when the event happens, when the book launches, when the program begins… What I've come to realize over time, though, is that happiness is not at some finish line- it's in the moments, the steps and the breaths it takes to get there.

This week's Focus Friday is all about creating our happiness in the NOW, because, truthfully friends, that is the only place it can ever possibly exist.

In this episode:

What I discovered about my own expectations around happiness [ 1:30 ]
Why living in the present moment brings us joy [ 6:35 ]
The only time in our lives that we have any influence + control [ 12:55 ]
What happens when we don't honor our own needs [ 15:45 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"When we are operating from a place of needing external circumstances to be 'just-so', that inevitably opens the doorway for dissatisfaction and unhappiness."
"When we live in the future, that's the definition of anxiety; when we live in the past, that's the definition of depression; when we live in the present- that's truly the definition of joy."
"My goal in my work is to only share in the way that I want to share; not as a reaction to someone else."
"What is going to make me happy right now? It's not the finish line, it's not the bank account balance, it's not the things that we think- it's freedom."
"Our world becomes so narrow when we are only doing things in a way that feels aligned with how someone else is doing it."
"I own the power to make myself happy."

Amber Lilyestrom on Mastering Your Money Mind Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

It's no secret that money is one of the #1 stressors in our society.

But what if it didn't have to be?

What if recognizing and receiving abundance became ease-filled and joyful?

What if it was our natural birthright to feel and BE abundant during our time here?

In this episode, I dive in to some of the principles I teach in my book Master Your Money Mind and what I've learned on this life and entrepreneurial journey that has changed the way I manage and feel about money.

I am also sharing more about my latest program, Master Your Money Mind, a 6-week experience to help you totally transform your prosperity patterns and perspective.

Focus Friday: Finding the Courage to Explore Aug 10, 2018

Show notes

When was the last time you started your day off by asking your body (and your soul) what it needed in the moment?

In this week's Focus Friday, I share my new morning ritual, and how asking myself that very question each and every morning has altered + magnified the flow, ease and joy in my days.

In this episode:

Where do our preferences and patterns originate from? [ 1:23 ]
Getting curious about our lives and why we design them the way we do [ 6:05 ]

Soul Shifting Quotes:

"Give your body the opportunity to tell you what it wants to tell you."
"How can you honor your body and honor your sacred needs?"
"Envision things a little bit differently if you need to; rediscover where you are now and what's going to be most life giving. Most of all… have the courage to explore."
