Her bestselling book “Reasons Mommy Drinks”, a humour book that pairs the first year of parenting with cocktail recipes, has been published in three languages and led to a very surreal experience on the Today Show.

Lyranda is also the podcast host for Google’s “Lead by Womenwill” which aims to address gender disparity in the workforce and champion young women in their careers. A working mom with two young boys at home, in her spare time she enjoys mainlining coffee.
