About
I had always climbed the ladder and made myself an asset in a variety of fields. I knew that if I asked the right questions, read the right books and found the best field experts I could become a professional anything even without formal training. My dressing up of the school of hard knocks and desire for excellence has me getting job offers in new expertise to this day. But no offer has been as sweet as the one I was called to do.
While I was spending maternity leave with my first son, it occurred to me that I had to retire from being a workaholic. Motherhood just fit, it was the ultimate test of my ability to learn on the fly and source the best resources to problem solve in a management environment. Nobody was going to do the job like I was.
I've applied the same level of follow through in every aspect of my life. Marriage, step parenting, motherhood and self educating myself on every topic I advocate for them on. This has sparked dietary, environment and lifestyle changes some that required budgeting and creative thinking to achieve. Reimagining solutions to problems until I find the best possible one is a function my brain does on autopilot and research aids in the decision making process of what is worth being a priority.
Join me on the journey and as I map out where I've already ventured!
Best,
Sidney

Parenthood above all is a relationship, not a skill to be acquired. Attachment is not a behavior to be learned, but a connection to be sought.
Finding the good inside can come from asking ourselves one simple question:
"What is my most generous interpretation of what just happened."
If you want your children to turn out well,
spend twice as much time and half as much money.

The kids who
need the most love will ask for it
in the most unloving of ways.

Some of the most important things you can communicate to a child are that feelings are okay, mistakes are fixable and there’s nothing they could do that would push you away or make you love them less. Behavior is not perfect; it is communication.

One of the most powerful truths we can offer our children is the knowledge that we're all still learning. None of us have arrived; we all have room to grow.
