This is Sydney, the founder of Authentically Balanced, and her main goal is to create a compassion-based community for support, conversation, and a variety of information on the topic of self-discovery and holistic wellness. This platformed manifested from a dream of continuing to spread awareness of declining mental health states in younger generations. After losing her mother at a young age, she struggled with depression and anxiety herself. One day she had enough and stopped searching for love externally and shifted her focus internally. That shift of awareness sparked something inside of her, and now her fire grows while yearning to provide warmth to others.
