In such a pivotal moment in history, I choose to look to the leaders and teachers that have paved the way for change with compassion, faith and love. Tim Storey, a man I am honored to call a dear friend and one of my greatest teachers, is a perfect example of this. Tim leads with love and faith in all things, and offers such radical empathy in the face of all that he has experienced as a Black man in this country.   Tim joined me a few weeks back for an incredible conversation on IG live. We talked about everything from radical empathy, to being a leader wherever you are, to how to overcome prejudice with grace and love, instead of fear and hate.    In This Episode You'll Learn:  Today's IG live with Tim Storey [ :37 ] Tim Storey [ 5:00 ] The moment in time we're living in + the calling it's offering us [ 6:30 ] What happens right before the comeback [ 9:00 ] Why we need not feel hopeless right now [ 10:30 ] What we can learn from our children and why they should be included in this moment in history [ 14:30 ] What the word “prejudice” actually means [ 16:15 ] How survivors of trauma who are triggered can be helpful right now [ 18:15 ] What Tim believes the Black community needs to do to break the cycle of generational trauma [ 23:00 ] What we need, as white people, to hear and absorb [ 26:20 ]  How we can choose to walk in love [ 31:00 ]   Soul Shifting Quotes: “The Real You will make a demand on the You that you've become.”  “Be a good leader where you are.”  “An “aha” moment is not always a revelation of greatness. Sometimes it's a revelation of change.”  “The more I become whole, the more I am able to become the person that God created me to be.”  “God's opinion makes man's opinion irrelevant.”  “What a gigantic wake up call to all of us to be what God called us to be.”  “Choose to walk in love.”  “Grace fills in the gaps.”    Links Mentioned: Learn my 7 Secrets to Uplevel Your Brand & Land Your Dream Clients  Grab your FREE training, How to Call in Your Tribe + Create Content that Converts  Text me at 603-931-4386 Follow Tim over on Instagram: @timstoreyofficial Learn more about Tim on his website: www.timstorey.com Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

This episode is more for the business minded creator -- those who plan to turn their channel into a business or people who are growing a business with their YouTube channel. At VC, about 90-some percent of our revenue is funneled through our website. It's a very critical tool for us as we generate leads with YouTube, nurture those relationships with email, or even sell directly from our channel. There's an opportunity for us as creators to not only get more views and traffic on our videos, but also on our website. And as we do that and are embedding videos in our website, we get more views on those videos, too. The way most people think about this is that they should drive traffic from their videos to their website, and that's certainly one way to do that, although we're cautious to do that outside of a video that designed to be a sales video because YouTube favors content that increases people's viewing sessions. Instead, today we want to talk about organically growing the traffic to your website. Use your website to get more people to discover your videos, capture their email, make a sale, get someone to sign-up, register, or whatever the action is you want them to take.

Much of our current emotional responses are simply reflections, patterns and conditioning formed back when we were children. This means that we live our lives through this lens of what was unprocessed. On today’s show, we're looking more deeply at two simple yet important phases that will help you get to the source of what’s holding you back.

As 2019 is nearing its close, it's easy to look back over all the things we “didn't” get to, or “didn't” accomplish. What I've realized over the last 12 months is that so many of us live from a place of constant doing, and still somehow we feel like we didn't get it all done.  In this week's Focus Friday, I am inviting you to look closer at the dream that's in your heart, and focus in on what it's actually asking you to do, and most importantly, how it's asking you to be.  2020 is the year of breaking long-held patterns that are holding us back from living our lives and experiencing ourselves to the fullest capacity- and in this episode, I am sharing one way in which I have found to do just that.    In This Episode You'll Learn: All about last weekend's In(Her) Circle Retreat in Nashville, TN [ 1:40 ]   Why your life's purpose is not a box to be ticked [ 5:30 ]   The pattern I refuse to take into 2020 with me [ 8:30 ] Where are you living out this pattern in your own life? [ 11:25 ] The spaces where the most magic happens [ 13:25 ]   Soul Shifting Quotes: “You're not comfortable, not doing.”  “I don't want to teach my daughter to push the ‘override' button.”  “I just don't believe that our dreams are asking ourselves to forsake ourselves in the process of getting to them.”  “Being prolific doesn't mean being manic.”    Links Mentioned: Learn my 7 Secrets to Uplevel Your Brand & Land Your Dream Clients  Grab your FREE training, How to Call in Your Tribe + Create Content that Converts Learn more about the In(Her) Circle and apply to be a part of the 2020 Magic!  Purchase your ticket to the 2020 Ignite Your Soul Summit Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

Have you ever found yourself worrying so much about the outcome that you can't just enjoy the journey?  In this week's Focus Friday I'm looking back at this time last year when I was right in the middle of my home expansion project- one that felt way harder than I ever anticipated it would.  A year later, I've had some massive realizations about the patterning and programming that often leaves us feeling anxious and worried, and the ways in which we can reframe and let go of the worry- so we can lean into and be present with the joy.    In This Episode You'll Learn: A little Black Friday teaser about the Ignite Your Soul Summit [ 2:27 ] How easily do we give away our joy? [ 3:51 ]  The outdated pattern that needs to be changed [ 7:10 ] What actually causes our greatest suffering [ 12:20 ]  What happens when we look back on our lives [ 13:25 ]   Soul Shifting Quotes: “All of the things we've ever worried about have always worked out.”  “Our biggest challenges are not actually the problem. What is causing our suffering is our patterning.”  “It is always working out for me.”  “What if we lived into the solution, rather than living in the problem?”  “Our physical experience is a reflection of our inner condition.”   Links Mentioned: Learn my 7 Secrets to Uplevel Your Brand & Land Your Dream Clients  Grab your FREE training, How to Call in Your Tribe + Create Content that Converts Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

Sometimes reality isn't as pretty as the idea of it. Last year at this time, things looked perfect on the outside but the truth is - I was struggling.

So, if you’re wondering how to create a lot of success in a short amount of time, this is the episode for you.

We all know that our physical well-being affects how we experience the world, but do we truly understand how our experience can also equally shape our well-being? Today's guest, my dear friend and soul-brother Shawn Wells, believes deeply that our health and our emotional + mental well being all tie together to create dis-ease or wellness in the body.

Shawn has also been on the ketogenic diet for over 20 years, allowing himself to overcome and suppressing numerous conditions with keto, paleo, fasting and supplements such as Epstein-Barr Virus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Depression, Insomnia, Obesity, and a pituitary tumor is part of Shawn's passion and journey that has led him to want to help others win these battles too.. He was featured in the international documentary, the Skinny on Fat that released in 2018 and was most recently on on Fox News television talking about 2019 health trends (including keto, fasting and more).

Do you find yourself dreaming of big things, but resisting to take the steps to make them a reality? In this week's Focus Friday, I share a vivid dream that I had that allowed me to see something with clarity: the danger that exists when we make a decision to be a dreamer, but we stop at just the dream. There is an immense difference between the person who is just dreaming and the person who is doing… and in this week's episode, I'm going to break down how we can become the type of person who takes the action.

Have you ever felt that your intuition was trying to tell you something different than what was being presented to you an authority figure? In this week's Focus Friday we are talking about the power of perspectives + how we can sometimes take advice from authority figures too literally. When someone tells us something is a fact, it's important to apply our own intuitive interpretation and listen with our whole heart + spirit to translate the information we are receiving. When we invite in alternative perspectives, it gives us more information to strengthen our own. In This Episode You'll Learn: The importance of getting perspectives from various people on our path [ 3:10 ] Why we should listening to our intuitions [ 8:35 ] We know what we want more than anyone else [ 11:30 ] How to strengthen our perspectives [ 15:25 ] Soul Shifting Quotes: “Listening + trusting your intuition is so invaluable.” “Ask for what you want.” “Energy matters.” Links Mentioned: Learn my 7 Secrets to Uplevel Your Brand & Land Your Dream Clients Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom   Did you hear something you loved here today?!

Have you ever felt drained by spending time with people who gave off negative vibes? In this week's Focus Friday we are talking about staying in our lane + creating sacred boundaries. The common theme around boundaries is building fences to keep people away from us. To me, that is not very sustainable because we would have to be on border control 24/7. We must empower ourselves to make the choices that are best for our hearts + souls, and honor our own beat to realize what is in our best interest. In This Episode: I have a weird relationship with boundaries [ 3:40 ] Back away slowly to create a buffer [ 7:00 ] Ditch the rules + zoom in with our own [ 8:35 ] Giving ourselves a release [ 10:20 ]   Soul Shifting Quotes: “I'm not here to breathe in your fumes.” “Be responsible for how we uphold our own vibration.” “Create sacred boundaries to allow both of you to spread your wings and soar.”   Links Mentioned: Learn my 7 Secrets to Uplevel Your Brand & Land Your Dream Clients

    What happens when we spend so much time pouring all of our love in to others… that we forget to pour any in to ourselves? In this week's Focus Friday I explore what the last few weeks of my life have looked like and how they have left me feeling a little depleted. On the other side of it all, however, it has only reaffirmed my belief that we cannot serve others wholly if we do not in fact serve ourselves first.

His motto is “Live Life to the Fittest,” and he lives up to that every day and inspires others to do the same. Some might say Jeremy is a miracle, but no one can deny that he is an inspiration. After barely surviving 2 heart failures and corresponding open-heart surgeries, Jeremy has continued to accomplish amazing athletic feats while leaving a trail of inspiration along the way. Just 3 years after his last open heart surgery, Jeremy not only finished Ironman Lake Placid but was one of the top fundraisers, raising $200,000 for the NH Nature Conservancy. In this episode, Jeremy reveals his incredible story of overcoming heart failure multiple times, the corresponding open-heart surgeries, and later becoming a superstar athlete. Jeremy has learned to never take anything for granted; he always treasures each moment and lives his life one day at a time.   Life is overcomplicated; when, in reality, it should be straightforward.

    On a scale of 1-10, how possible do you believe it is for you to achieve your goals? In this week's Focus Friday, a few weeks since the 2019 Ignite Your Soul Summit and I've made some massive realizations.

    Have you ever found yourself following someone else's ideas in an attempt to replicate their success?   In this week's Focus Friday, the topic weighs heavy + hot on my heart; our obsession with getting it “right”.
