Lily Lyons is a savvy, brilliant, successful CEO in New York City. She has tried to be “normal” her entire life, but she is learning to embrace her extraordinary self.
Lily was raised to follow all the rules and she thrived as a young overachiever. When she graduated from college with the “Student of the Year” award, her friends and family assumed she was destine for a handsome sturdy husband, a fancy house in the suburbs, two beautiful kids and a Labrador Retriever. She would “settle-down” and raise a nice family.
For many years, Lily tried to be “normal” but she was miserable, it was not her life purpose or destiny. The pressure to become that conventional woman was oppressively overwhelming. As Lily let go of this artificial definition of “normal” and began to pursue thing she found interesting, life became satisfying and fulfilling. Staying true to her purpose has allowed her to find tremendous personal and professional growth. Today, life for Lily is spectacular.
The purpose of this blog is to help other women see beyond conventional life choices. Lily hopes she can inspire at least one woman to have the courage to take a risk and make a change to find a higher level of happiness.
And for the men, Lily hopes her unabashed openness and honesty will help men understand women like her. She hopes men will realize Lily doesn’t feel intimidating, threatening, or unapproachable. Women like Lily are sensitive, companionate, and want to have intimate and fulfilling relationship with men. While she may portray 100% confidence, there times she is insecure, shy, and uncomfortable being the center of attention.
