Life Will Be

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? Do you step up or keep it moving? On this stop of The Get My Life Tour, Lydia T. Blanco is joined by entrepreneur and events professional Alyss Patterson. 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. Blanco decided that she was going to make herself more visible personally and professionally—and soon realized that there’s more that comes with the territory than she thought. On this stop of The Get My Life Tour, join her as she explores what it takes to remain grounded and effective while being visible.

Blanco to discuss the significance and complexities of sisterhood; how being a sister shapes how show up in the world; and how ultimately the makings of being a ‘good’ sister often requires women to do their own work.
