Often times we give credit where it isn’t due to others for our accomplishments; or the Most High’s will.

On this stop of The Get My Life Tour, host Lydia T. Blanco takes center stage to discuss the power we give to others when we give them too much credit; imposters syndrome; and owning your greatness.

Being a daddy’s girl is a luxury that comes with many perks. From being loved from the beginning to being protected and taken well care of.

When is the last time that you’ve gone the distance for and by yourself? No, this is not a trick question. After a recent solo road trip, it became clear to Lydia T.

Women often have a list of what they want from their ideal partner or from an anticipated relationship. Some lists are longer than others--and they often don’t include a bonus child or stepchildren for the ambitious. But, what happens when the love of your life comes with a little extra love?

Listen as Alyss takes center stage to share her experience about how love found her better than she expected and the maturation process that came with becoming a bonus mom and following her heart.

There’s nothing easy about taking center stage in life. It requires vulnerability, the fear of the unknown is a given, and there’s always someone watching you. Earlier this year, Lydia T.
