About Me
About Me
TW- Brief mention of SA
I don't know about you, but I personally prefer to know some details about a coach, teacher, guide, leader, mentor, etc. before they pass their knowledge on to me. I think it is incredibly important to be transparent and honest with your audience, and that is what I strive to do. If I can't be honest and open, how can I expect you to do that in your own life, you know? One of the worst things a coach can be is a hypocrite. I do my best to practice what I preach. We all fall short sometimes, but I will not pretend like I don't.
I'm Sydney Rae Love! I am 21 years old. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but have spent my late teens / early adult years in Texas. I live to enjoy life, yes, but to help other people enjoy their lives too. I know what it feels like to love life and I know what it feels like to feel at rock bottom. I've been on both ends. My wish is that I can help you overcome that feeling of being at rock bottom, so that you can access the true joy of this life. I have CPTSD, ADHD, and PMDD. Why do I include this? I want you to know that it is possible to cope with and manage mental health conditions. I have struggled with drug and alcohol abuse as well.
You're so young. What makes you think you have room to give other people advice?
Age matters to a certain extent, and I may not have as much literal physical life experience as a middle or old-aged life coach. However, I have been through so many experiences who have helped me develop into the person that I am today. I have seen some dark days some people will never see in their lives (and I pray that they don't have to). I have been very passionate about mental health and self-improvement since early childhood, and I had begun doing a lot of research about mental health when I was around 13, which was when I started meditating, listening to subliminals, reading more self help books, etc. I have kept a journal since I could write. Unfortunately, from the ages of 11-14 I had 0 boundaries + encountered a lot of traumatized people on the internet, and spent a lot of time trying to talk people off ledges, literally and metaphorically.
Around the age of 17, I had begun doing lots of research on relationships / dating, communication, mental health conditions, etc. Around the age of 19 to the present, I started doing lots of research on relationship abuse, trauma, psychology, the ego, spirituality, etc. Being/true purpose, boundaries, confidence, personal needs, self-esteem, self care, etc. The age of 19 is also when I begun my spiritual journey and started reading tarot!! My passion and purpose really started all to come together then. In the last 2 years, I have conducted well over 2k readings. Twitter gave me the platform to help spread my knowledge and therefore help others. Recently, I have been doing a lot of research on the Enneagram. I have probably been researching for 5 months now, and practicing on interpreting real life people's Enneagrams so that I can eventually add Enneagram reports as a service.
I have some pretty bizarre childhood trauma that I won't get into, I have been through SA as a teenager, and I left an abusive relationship when I was 19. From 19-20, even though I was helping other people and doing a decent amount of work in the healing process, I had not been able to fully help myself because I had not really gotten help for my trauma. Unfortunately, I turned to alcohol and party / designer drugs for comfort. I quit these drugs over a year ago and I had a 6 month sobriety period from alcohol -- it was much needed. I am now learning to drink in moderation. I finally went through an intensive therapy program that really finally hit the spot and helped me release what I had been holding in for so long. I feel renewed and freed. I am now actively becoming the person I wanted to be forever, all because I decided to just do it. Notice that this journey didn't happen over night -- There were ups and downs. Setbacks and achievements. Trials and triumphs.
At the age of 19, I met someone who changed my life forever. He became my best friend and eventually my partner a little bit under a year later. We have been going strong ever since July 2021, but started our journey together November 2020. I have learned a lot about myself and relationships, but most of all, the importance of friendship from him. He has helped me on my darkest days. I am in a healthy, happy, relationship with someone who loves me truly and deeply. I am here to show you that it can happen for you too.
What do you do for a living?
This is what I am doing for a living -- helping people in any way that I can. I am a tarot and lenormand reader, a psychic, a life coach, etc. I am also becoming an Enneagram specialist. I am also beginning to pursue professional acting for film. Even when I make it to the top in the film industry, I will still be coaching.
What do you like to do for fun?
If you couldn't tell, I really love learning. I love to write and am about to plan my first book. I love journaling. I do love a good TV show or film, as I feel they just convey emotions so intensely and meaningfully when done correctly. I enjoy reading. I love to study astrology. I really do enjoy being around other people and spending time with loved ones. I am developing a strong passion for acting. I am even about to start adult dance classes soon, just for fun! I also love reality TV, I am obsessed with Jersey Shore and JSFV at the moment. I can get on the wild side when I go out if I really want to. My whole life is about having fun and enjoying myself in a healthy manner. Even work is fun for me, because I make it fun.
