About Sydney

Hi there, I’m Sydney! After ten crazy years, I left a grueling six-figure job in 2015 for a better life. Now I spend my days with my family, writing, freelancing in various capacities, and finding new ways to stretch my brain. I’m crazy about my husband and two kids, gardening, photography, hiking, and stopping to smell the roses. Untemplater is where I share my insights and adventures with the world. I'm continually motivated to write and evolve in hopes that I can help others improve their lifestyles, careers, wealth and happiness. Every day is a gift! Be sure to check out my how to start a blog and Untemplater recommendations pages. You can also sign up here to get email alerts every time I write a new post. Thanks for reading!

December 27, 2022 By Sydney 4 Comments

Oh what a year its been

Normally, I'm pretty happy this time of year. But, the chaos of the holidays got to me a bit more this time around than in years past. I've definitely been more stressed, frustrated, and disappointed than normal. Even my little three-year-old looked at me with curious, innocent eyes and asked in her sweet tiny voice, "Why do you keep sighing, mama?" Zing! That was a reality … [Read more...]

My Autistic Life: From Childhood To My 40s

April 22, 2022 By Sydney 9 Comments

My Autistic Life Child to 40s

At the age of 40, I unexpectedly discovered I'm autistic. I never suspected I had autism growing up. Frankly, we knew a lot less about it back then.
