Today’s guest, Kris Britton, is a Life and Success Coach to women who want to love themselves and live free. Kris empowers women to clear all the blocks that hold them back from confidently living their dreams.

In this episode, Kris and I dig deep into soul-searching, spiritual sales, and how to awaken our own inner goddess.

Have you ever heard the saying, “If you argue for your limitations, they’re yours to keep”? This holds true in all things- for scarcity, for our unhappiness in our lives, for our lack of self-love. In today’s Focus Friday, I ask the very simple question: What are you fighting for? In hopes that it will ignite a spark in you that helps shine the light on the fact that you are worthy of so much more than you have fought for… That at any moment, should you choose to do so, you can stop the fight and simply step in to the fullness + magnitude of who you truly are.

Sustainable wealth isn’t about what everyone thinks it’s about.

 Jeanette Schneider on The LORE of our Legacy | File Type: audio/x-m4a | Duration: 00:50:39

LORE: the generational passing down of knowledge by story, myth or legend. It is the way through which our lenses are formed, and it is through it that our entire belief systems come to be. Today’s guest, Jeanette Schneider, knows all too well about the power our own stories have over our lives. She has set out to help women rewrite theirs- and to help them pass new stories down to the daughters + sons that will go on after them. Jeanette Schneider is the founder of Lore Advocacy, a network of professional women whose goal is to inspire women to change the world through a gender lens of equality, self-actualization and the fearless shattering of glass ceilings. Jeanette stated Lore and Little Things (https://loreandlittlethings.com/) in 2015 as a platform catering to women who want to be part of a conversation that is positive, present and offers no advice other than trust yourself and harm no one. Her debut book, Lore: Harnessing Your Past to Create Your Future was released in September 2018. I am honored to share this beautifully moving conversation with you today. My hope is that it will spark you to uncover and rewrite the damaging stories that have been handed down to you; so that the little ones we will one day send out in to the world won’t have to. In this episode: Today’s guest, Jeanette Schneider [ :45 ] iTunes review of the week [ 2:05 ] Jeanette’s new book, LORE, and what lead her to writing it [ 4:55 ] How the passing of loved ones has given Jeanine clarity + changed the way she lives [ 7:58 ] How Jeanette’s own messaging has transformed through motherhood [ 10:31 ] How to get to the place where we can acknowledge our worthiness [ 13:21 ] How to find our way back to ourselves and learn what makes us truly happy [ 17:00 ] The grief that comes with accomplishment [ 23:01 ] The process Jeanette takes her readers through in her book [ 25:44 ] How to harness our power as women and how to pass it on to our girls [ 31:55 ] What Jeanette would say to a former version of herself [ 43:25 ] Soul Shifting Quotes: “It’s the folklore of your life- the lore and the storytelling that passes generationally that can be very beautiful, but can also be very damaging.“ “Have I made this my identity, and is this really true?” “Your future-self loves your current-self the way your current-self loves your past-self.” “A girl can’t be what she can’t see.” “There’s a responsibility on the parent to actively raise the next generation of change-makers.” “We’ve seen the world so much change from our moms- what can we now do for our daughters?” Links Mentioned: Purchase your own copy of LORE: Harnessing Your Past to Create Your Future Grab your FREE training, How to Call in Your Tribe + Create Content that Converts Learn more about Jeanette at www.JeanetteSchneider.com and be sure to follow her on Instagram @ms.jeanetteschneider Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!

Each of us has rules set-up in our lives that were designed, in some shape or another, to keep us safe. But at some point those are the same rules that hold us back, that allow us to believe that we have limitations...and that keep us from taking the leaps and incredible risks that are the keys to living a life we’ve always dreamt of.

I left my corporate job behind 5 years ago in an effort to have the chance to watch my daughter grow up + to be present for the moments, the milestones + the memories. Unfortunately, what I didn’t get to leave behind, though I didn’t realize it at the time, was mom guilt- the innate feeling that lies in all of us moms (human + fur alike) that tells us that we’re not doing it right, not there enough or (insert your chosen guilt here.) In today’s Focus Friday I share how I’ve worked through my own mom guilt, in an effort to not only make more of the moments I am with my amazing daughter count- but also the moments when I’m not. In this episode: Mom guilt and how it’s manifested in my life [ 1:08 ] The way to move through mom guilt [ 4:54 ] What happens when we’re not being present for our lives or our children [ 8:10 ] Soul Shifting Quotes: “Here’s what I know: when I am fully present, when I am more relaxed,when I am remembering to remember what matters most- I am a better mom.” “Our children want us to experience joy in the moment with them; that is their deepest desire.” “We do not need to make up for what we didn’t get or didn’t have as children with our children. We just get to be right where we are, and take action here- in this now.” “Give your life the gift of your own presence.” Links Mentioned: Learn more about Dr. Shefali Tsabary and her groundbreaking work Grab your FREE training, How to Call in Your Tribe + Create Content that Converts Head here to schedule your Breakthrough Call Tag me in your big shifts + takeaways: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!
