This week Sydney Curtin joins us for an amazing episode that shows just how trauma can affect choices, and that it is possible to use our own traumatic experiences for good as we continue to recover. At just 13 years old, Sydney lost her Mother to suicide, after years of drug addiction. Her father became abusive in the aftermath, and Sydney would continue to dive into unhealthy relationships though her teens and into adulthood. At 20, she became pregnant by a man that was violent and not fit to be a father, and so she made the difficult decision to give her daughter up for adoption. With no support, no one to help guide her through her decision, and red-tape and contracts that didn't make sense, she ended up losing contact with her daughter even though she had believed it was an open adoption allowing her to stay in contact with her daughter as she grew up. Her experience led her to begin looking into adoption laws, and seeking reform, to help other mothers, but also prospective parents, really understand their choices. Sydney successfully changed legislation on open adoption in Idaho, advocating for ethical reform and transparency, making her a powerful public advocate. Thank your Sydney!

Escaping the 9-to-5 Trap: The Mindset Shift That Led to a Debt-Free, Purpose-Driven Life

Sydney can break down the real steps to breaking free from traditional employment and creating a career that aligns with personal values. By refusing to let someone else determine the value of her time, she built a sustainable, debt-free life as an entrepreneur and business consultant. She shares the financial philosophies that allowed her to own a home, build businesses, and achieve financial security without sacrificing family time. From identifying and fixing broken business systems to designing a life where income isn’t capped by a salary, Sydney provides a fresh, actionable perspective for those looking to leave the 9-to-5 grind. Her insights resonate deeply in today’s shifting work culture, where more people are searching for independence and financial control.

Faith, Trauma, and Finding Purpose: How Sydney Turned Loss into Advocacy

Sydney can explore the intersection of faith, grief, and resilience, offering a powerful perspective on trusting in a higher purpose even in the face of profound loss. Having lost her mother to suicide at 13 and later experiencing the heartache of adoption separation, she speaks candidly about how faith anchored her through life’s most painful moments. Her journey is not just one of survival, but of transformation—channeling pain into purpose through advocacy, legislative change, and mentorship. She also challenges faith-based communities to reconsider their role in adoption, pushing for informed, ethical decisions rather than blind support for the system. Through raw storytelling and deeply personal insights, she opens up a thought-provoking dialogue about how faith can both challenge and heal.

Building Better Adoptions: Ensuring Ethical, Transparent, and Child-Centered Choices

Sydney can discuss the complexities of open adoption, revealing how legal agreements often fail birth parents despite initial promises. With firsthand experience as a birth mother and a legislative advocate, she has successfully pushed for adoption law reform in Idaho and continues to fight for ethical transparency in the system. She explores the emotional and legal gaps that leave birth parents voiceless, the financial incentives driving adoption agencies, and what prospective adoptive families and birth mothers need to ask before entering an agreement. Her work sheds light on the overlooked side of adoption—one that challenges common narratives and calls for legislative change to protect the rights of all involved.
