We had the good fortune of connecting with Brianna Lyons and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brianna, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
The most meaningful thing I’ve done as a parent is to take care of my own well-being and lead by example. I believe that when my daughter sees me nurturing myself—mind, body, and spirit—it shows her the importance of self-love and balance. I want her to grow up knowing she deserves to care for herself and follow her dreams wholeheartedly. By prioritizing my health, happiness, and growth, I hope to create a loving foundation where she feels inspired to live authentically and embrace life fully. My greatest wish is that she feels empowered to build a life she loves, just as I strive to do every day.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a life empowerment coach and I truly believe in the power of self-discovery and transformation. My passion is for helping people find their authentic voice, embrace their worth, understand roadblocks in their way, and take steps toward a life they love. What sets me apart is my personal journey. I went from having no confidence to losing 130 pounds on my weight loss journey, only to discover that it wasn’t enough—I still lacked self-love and true confidence. This realization sparked a deeper phase of self-discovery. I stopped comparing myself to others, challenged my limiting beliefs, embraced solitude, and reconnected with my inner child. By slowing down, I learned to trust my intuition and gain clarity on what I truly wanted. From there, I created a clear roadmap to turn my dreams into reality and took consistent action to bring it to life. Now, I use my experience to offer authentic guidance, inspiring and empowering my clients to overcome obstacles and confidently pursue their dreams.

One of the things I’m most proud of is the trust my clients place in me. It’s incredibly fulfilling to watch them grow, make breakthroughs in their self-discovery, and live out their full potential. I’m also excited about the different facets of my work and creations, from my books and digital products to the retreats and resources I offer. Each of these are an extension of my passions and purpose, creating opportunities for people to learn and heal both independently and as a community.

At the core of everything I do is loveBRIenergy, which stands for Believe, Receive, and Inspire. To me, this is a life philosophy: It’s about fostering self-belief, being open to receiving all of the opportunities, blessings, and abundance that life has to offer, and inspiring others along their own unique journeys. These principles aren’t just words; they are the foundation of how I live and teach others to live as well.

Getting to this point hasn’t been easy. There were times when self-doubt crept in and I felt like giving up. I learned that resilience, consistency, and having faith in my vision were key. Surrounding myself with a strong support system and mentors helped me see the bigger picture and stay committed. The journey taught me that setbacks aren’t failures, but stepping stones, and it’s the courage to keep going that truly makes a difference.

If there’s one thing I’d love the world to know about my brand and story, it’s that anything is possible when you believe in yourself and take action. My mission is to inspire others to live life on their own terms. Through loveBRIenergy, I want to empower people to embrace self-love, chase their dreams, and transform their lives, one step at a time.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I’d like to dedicate my shoutout to my partner Shea and daughter Yana. My partner has been my rock, offering endless support and encouragement, and always believing in my dreams. He’s shown me the value of resilience and unconditional love, standing by my side through every challenge and every triumph. My daughter is my greatest inspiration—she’s the reason I strive to be my best self every day. Watching her grow gives me a deeper purpose and she constantly reminds me of the importance of living authentically and joyfully. Together, they’re the heart of my journey and I couldn’t have come this far without their love and presence.
