ALYSIA LYONS wears many hats . She is a mother , a business owner , an author , and a life coach . Being a mom has been the greatest , most rewarding one . Besides seeing her son , Zander thriving , she is full of joy regarding motherhood . Alysia ' s personal motherhood journey began when she said yes to a home-based business after being fed up with Corporate America . She was attracted to the freedom and flexibility of working for herself . One of Alysia ' s most rewarding contributions to life is giving life .

Alysia tapped into her motherly instinct and realized she could make a difference in these families ' lives . Acting on her maternal love , she became a surrogate mom for four fortunate families and most recently gave birth to twin girls . Alysia returns with a refreshing perspective on how our
yesteryear experiences can serve as an empowering foundation for our tomorrows with “ Using ‘ Looking Back Wisdom ’ to Live My Tomorrow ” for our Mom Support Corner section .
