Some conversations remind you that the dream you can’t shake isn’t a distraction. It’s a direction. And this episode of the Yes, And! Podcast is exactly that kind of reminder.

Our host, Bunny Young, interviews Amber Lilyestrom, business mentor, podcaster, and true powerhouse, to talk about why trusting yourself, your desires, and your dreams is non-negotiable, even when the path forward doesn’t make sense yet.

Amber shares her journey honestly and without polish, from collegiate athletics and corporate leadership to building a multi-seven-figure business rooted in alignment, intuition, and energetic integrity.

Together, they dive deep into what it really looks like to walk away from “safe” choices, navigate subconscious fear, rewrite money stories, and recognize when success stops working because it’s costing you your life force.

This conversation weaves together business energetics, money mindset, identity, trauma healing, motherhood, and the quiet courage it takes to say yes without guarantees.

It’s about slowing down to access more, releasing the need for certainty, and letting your dream lead even when the how isn’t clear yet.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to do things differently, to trust your timing, or to finally listen to the dream that keeps coming back, this episode will meet you right where you are.
