Who I Am

I’m Sydney Paige (they/she) and I’m exhausted.

Life is hard and seems to keep getting harder by the day.

Entrepreneurship was my escape plan from the worlds of education & corporate.

It hasn’t been easy but it is more fun, restful, and soul-filling than any other job.

In fewer than 10 months, I went from launching with 0 clients to meeting my financial goals.

Curious if you can do it?

Let’s chat.
