We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Sydney Sage a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Sydney, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?

Growing up on the run for 10 years, I was used to hustling, poverty, to stress, and powerlessness. My family was often broke, in fear, and victim to all kinds of intense circumstances.

It took me a long time to break free from those patterns and cycles within my family. I was determined to enter the medical field to help heal people and have a secure income as this was what everyone was saying I should do. I never wanted to feel broke and powerless again like we did in my childhood.

Fast forward to my mid 20’s as I was in school to enter the medical field, an ad popped up on my computer for health coaching. I was very intrigued and had never heard of the industry before. I had recently taken a deep dive into spirituality, yoga, healing, and the power of the mind. I had successfully healed 2 chronic diagnoses with my mindset and affirmations. This was a way for me to help people BEFORE they even have to see a doctor.

After exploring this avenue, I quickly realized what I was more passionate about were mindset and goals. Taking power back over your life and going after what you want no matter what’s in your way or what your past consists of. This is what drove me to become a professional certified life coach. I wanted to share, teach, and coach around what I discovered. It felt – and still feels like – I stumbled upon a pot of gold, and it was inside of me the entire time!

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am a professional certified life coach. I became a life coach because I wanted to show people just how powerful their minds are. I want to show them just how much power they truly do have over the way they think, the way they feel, and the way their lives go.

I got into my field not by choice, but by a new industry falling into my lap one day via an ad on my laptop. It was all of my passions combined, and although it took a few years to work up the courage to pursue it, I finally did. I wanted to help myself and others create better lives for themselves.

I work with my life coaching clients over the course of 3 months to 1 year, and I help them improve their mindset, achieve their goals, and feel more peace. I work with a lot of highly driven people who are prone to burnout and overworking, so I help show them how to get organized, how to reach goals, and how to start putting themselves first again so they can feel more peaceful and create more success for themselves.

What sets me apart is that I use a combination of one of the best life coaching certifications in the world through the International Coaching Federation and I also use my intuition and resource recommendations each week with my clients. I’m able to help them on deeper levels, working from the inside out of themselves and their lives. I tune into every word my clients use in our sessions and I lovingly challenge their own thoughts and beliefs in order to help them get out of their own way.

I’m the most proud of how I never gave up in my business, I always kept going even through phases of slowness. Now that I am almost fully booked out, I am very happy and proud that I made the choice. I’m also proud of all the internal and childhood wounds and work I had to go through in order to be successful (something not many people talk about). You have to learn to really heal past wounds and regulate your thoughts and feelings in order to run a business on your own. Having my own business helped me grow and heal SO much.

The main thing I want everyone to know, is that anything is possible and that there are always solutions. Even when you think you’ve tried all the things, even when you feel too tired to try, even when you are feeling hopeless – there is always a chance to start again, to course-correct, to re-create your situation no matter what it is. I truly care about people and I want to help as many humans as I can take their power back and get what they want. The world is a better place when we dot his.

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

The biggest lesson I had to unlearn was that as an entrepreneur I had NO control over my income. That’s actually not true for any business owner.

I learned over time that the more I never gave up, the more I showed up for myself, and the better I took care of myself the more money I would make.

I started sharing this with my clients and noticed when they worked on themselves and took better care of themselves they started making more money too.

What we put out comes back to us, both in the sense of what some may call “woo-ey” manifestation but ALSO in the sense that the better we feel, the higher quality actions we take and thus create better results. The more present we are in our daily lives, the more we slow down and remember that existing is enough, the more opportunities and people are all around us that might hold possibilities for us.

Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?

One of the best resources of all time have been books for me. What a great way to distribute fantastic information to loads of people at one time! The top books that completely changed my life and career are:

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. This helped me on the deepest level of mindset work I have ever found to this day. It also helped me learn how to slow down and how to actually STOP thinking, which creates a deep sense of peace, present-moment awareness, and inner trust that everything will be okay somehow. It also helped me strengthen my spiritual connection to something bigger.

Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott. This helped me learn my shadow side and how even in the negative repeating life circumstances in my life I secretly wanted. It helped me learn why I want the negative occurrences in my life and how to start feeling GOOD about the bad that way its power of me vanishes instantly.

You Are A Badass at Making Money by Jen Sincero. This helped me really take back control of my financial health and was the perfect motivating kick in the rear to leave fears behind and run after my fears in order to make more money. It also helped me learn to challenge my thoughts and beliefs and really break them down to see that they are not always true. Anyone can make money doing about anything these days. This book can show you how, no matter what profession, career, or business you choose.
