Meet Mom, My Hero, My Heart: Sydna Mersereau Shares Her Tips for a Purposeful Life

by Kay McDonaldMay 4, 2021Podcast

Mother’s Day is just a few days away and to celebrate I featured a very special guest on The Power of Charms Podcast: My Mom, Sydna! Mothers are so deeply important to our lives and can impart wisdom to us in ways only a mother can. My mom has gained wisdom with age and there are many things that I love and admire about my mom. I knew she would be the perfect guest to share her amazing wisdom and guiding principles for life.

Sydna is a powerhouse who believes that you should never doubt yourself. In fact, she went back to school at age 50 to study business math and accounting to challenge herself and learn something she knew would be useful in her life. She is constantly learning in order to grow and stay fresh. Her persistence is just one of the amazing attributes that has led her to feeling “content, blessed, and fulfilled” in her life.

I spoke with my mom on the Power of Charms about her guiding principles to life, sharing the wisdom she’s learned along the way, and just what makes Sydna who she is.

The Defining Symbol: Heart

My Mom is the most loving, big-hearted person I know. Family is incredibly important to her as well as maintaining positive relationships. Fostering a loving, positive environment is critical to not only happiness but living a fulfilling life. To Sydna, “The most important advice I can give for a fulfilled life is to have a big heart and be kind to everyone you meet.” The Heart is an incredibly popular symbol. It is the core of our humanity and the primary symbol of love. It also symbolizes truth, honesty, joy, compassion, and charity. For centuries, hearts have been used in matters related to love.

As one of the original investors in the Charity Charms concept, we wanted to share her BIG HEART by honoring her with our signature logo charm.
