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.

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.” Links Mentioned: Grab your FREE training, How to Call in Your Tribe + Create Content that Converts Learn more about The Mastermind Experience Click Here to Schedule a Breakthrough Call Be sure to follow and tag me in your takeaways and big shifts: @amberlilyestrom Did you hear something you loved here today?!
