Lisa Ly is a multi-talented individual with a broad range of focus areas. She published a book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. In addition to that, she is also a swimsuit designer who is coming out with her brand-new line very soon. Her brand is named Bronzed Babe Swim, and it stands out as a perfect introduction to her unique style and creative vision.

Sometimes, we all feel like no one can relate as we all have individual lives, but this world is so big that someone out there can share your pain, happiness, etc. Someone out there lives a life that may be parallel to yours, and it does help to share my experience and not feel completely alone. Ultimately, we all want the same thing: to be heard, understood, accepted as we are, and loved!

I’ve always wanted to become an author, as writing was an outlet. I had a story to tell that many could relate to. After a tough breakup, I realized that I reverted back to being a caretaker emotionally and physically to the man in my life. I wasn’t working on the version of me that was destined to be and do more. I was determined to no longer let fear and criticism of who I knew I could become hinder my growth. I had to sit with myself and allow my pain to become my most prominent driving force to overcome my fear of sharing my story. Life is hard, and we all have our own unique stories that are worth being heard. I wanted to ensure that I contributed mine to the world.

Alright, Lisa thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear how you think where to draw the line in terms of asking friends and family to support your business – what’s okay and what’s over the line? I recently became an author and will launch my swimsuit line soon, and it feels that strangers are more supportive than friends/family. But I have a few close friends that I consider my family, and their support has been fantastic. They have been my biggest supporters and sounding board, a safe space to feel like I can be myself. For that, I am grateful. On the flip side, I have family members that didn’t even congratulate me on my book release. I’m learning to focus on the positives and not the negatives.

In conclusion, only a few people are as versatile, dynamic, and talented as Lisa. She is a true go-getter and an inspiration for people everywhere, especially women seeking empowerment and telling their stories. Much like she does every day through her books, clothes, activities, and simply by being herself with no compromise and absolute fearlessness! Her message to women everywhere is to be fearless and be yourself! This way, you will be able to shine like the star and enjoy the life you truly deserve.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson? One of my biggest lessons is learning to set boundaries and learning what those were. Being a Cambodian woman, I was raised to appease and accommodate. I was raised to sacrifice my own happiness to ensure the happiness of others first. That mentality has led me to not know boundaries and caused many disappointments in relationships, whether friendships and/or romantic. I didn’t want to say no or would sacrifice a little of my own happiness to make sure the other person’s needs were met. That was a recipe for disaster and pain.

What sets Bronzed Babe Swim apart from the others? As a consumer of swimwear, as a mother of two, my body has definitely changed. I wanted to make swimwear that was super fashionable but still felt comfortable and hold us up in all needed areas. I also wanted to make the swimsuits so it does not cut into our body to provide support. I’ve had that issue with so many brands. It may look suitable for photos, but I would have to take it off immediately; I couldn’t just wear it for the entire time at the beach/pool. I wanted a good, fitting, and fashionable swimsuit that feels good and still turn heads! See extra details on https://www.facebook.com/BronzedBabeSwim.
