Today we’re joined by Amber Lyon, who you may know as a creator behind an Instagram account, Modern Mind. Amber is a writer, her book “You are a magnet” will be available next year, more to come, and a mindfulness and magnetism coach helping people show up in alignment with more joy, ease, and opportunity. Her iconic visual meditations have been shared by millions of people and continue to guide her growing community of light seekers. Amber recently launched a podcast, Light Work, which is all about celebrating the light within each of us that we may have diminished or forgotten about in our day to day lives.
In this episode, we discuss how to live in alignment, create new life if the one you have now doesn’t bring you a sense of fulfillment, how to follow your own path of creation and of course how to be magnetic and manifest the life beyond your dreams. It may look different for everybody, the important part is to know that you’re powerful, you’re a creator, and you can always change the narrative of your life and rewrite the story.
