What happens when life hands you five kids, two sets of twins back-to-back, a full-time nursing career—and then takes your mother away without warning?
In this raw and revealing conversation, Sydney shares what it’s like to raise multiples while grieving the sudden loss of the woman who raised her. We talk postpartum breakdowns in silence, the guilt of divided attention, spiritual signs from the universe, and what ego sounds like when it’s pretending to protect you.
This isn’t a story about chaos. It’s about the kind of quiet strength that emerges when no one else is coming to carry it for you.
Topics include:
– Grieving while parenting
– Two twin pregnancies only 10 months apart
– Self-trust and breaking emotional cycles
– Redefining what strength looks like
– Motherhood, identity, and letting go of perfection
If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to hold it all together when everything inside you is breaking—this episode is for you.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
