MEET YOUR HOST
Hi, I’m Sheryl and I'm the founder of Self Directed Life
Since 2016, I’ve been passionate about nurturing children’s growth and development through play, self-discovery, and reflection. My journey began in the financial sector as a Chartered Financial Analyst, a Chartered Accountant, and a nurturing 7-figure business C-suite manager. However, my true calling emerged as I embraced parenting, organizing events such as Homeschool Convention Curriculum Fairs, Children’s Entrepreneurship Fairs, and Worldschool Pop-up Hubs. This experience has empowered me to support families and education professionals in uncovering alternative ways to raise and educate children by nurturing a supportive community.
This unique virtual summit, Happy Resilient Family Summit, is crafted to equip you with practical strategies to cultivate resilience and happiness within, laying the foundation for raising thriving children who navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence. We'll explore practical insights, evidence-based strategies, and personal anecdotes to foster self-awareness in both parent and child, nurturing a deep understanding of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Discover the power of authentic connection and mindful presence in parenting, building strong bonds that nurture resilience and promote holistic growth. By reparenting ourselves, we pave the way for a new paradigm of parenting that transcends conventional norms.
