During a discussion at Thursday’s event, Lively talked about being a creative woman who is also a businesswoman.
“I just like to create. Whether that’s baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating,” she joked, laughing along with the audience.
Lively said that it’s important for her kids to “see that you don’t have to choose one or the other.”
“I don’t need them to choose to be a businesswoman or a mom. They can be both or neither, but I just want for them to see that anything is possible.”

On an episode ofMy Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Lettermanearlier this year, Reynolds, 45, opened up about parenting his three daughters with Lively.
“You feed the crew,” Letterman, 75, said to Reynolds as theDeadpoolstar seemingly put together a meal for his family.
“Blake, full disclosure, really showed me how to do all this,” Reynolds admitted, prompting Letterman to ask, “Who runs the show here?”
“Blake runs the show, I would kind of really phone things in if it wasn’t for her,” said Reynolds.
Letterman then asked Reynolds if “anxiety would set in” if Lively was out of town visiting her family and he was left to care for the children on his own.
“I would, first off, never let her go visit her family,” Reynolds teased, getting a laugh from the former-late night talk show host.
“If I was just with the girls, I think I would find it pretty exciting at first,” he continued. “And then there would be, with three girls, so, that division of labor is very important.”
