Personal

Lyris is happily married and is a mother of two active children. Like you she struggles to find the right home-life balance and is a proponent of having a strong family support system. This helped her overcome post-partum depression and she loves helping mothers find their own strength and ways to overcome this unexpected struggle. In her early adulthood, she endured the pain of divorce and had to find her own identity again after relying on her ex-husband for much of her self-esteem.
