What do you do when you’re faced with life-changing circumstances? If you’re Cydney Mar, former figure skater, fashion designer, and Product Development Strategist & Creator of Cydney Mar Wellness, you reinvent, reinvigorate, and redirect all the best things about you to bring about something new and beautiful.

Cydney believes that lessons and skills teach you to be your best multi-faceted self. When a tragic accident ended her career as a National Level competitive figure skater, and a serious case of mono threatened Cydney’s health and immune system, Cydney pushed through these challenges and leveraged them to be the best she could be, and build two businesses built on her passions.

“My coach taught us how to really accomplish things. When my skating accident happened, I was able to apply those life lessons to what was next – a career in fashion. Maybe when you face near-death experiences, you become unafraid because it's like, what else can happen?”

Cydney took her love for sewing her own figure skating costumes and attended fashion school where she received many design and merchandising awards. This recognition led her to launch her own couture line, Cydney Mar fashion. Cydney sold this line in high-end stores across North America and later, Cydney launched her collections with QVC, across 8 countries for 15 years.

Cydney then turned her attention to her family ancestry and history in natural medicine, herbalism and the art of healing to develop her own all-natural vitamins and supplements line, Cydney Mar Wellness.

On this week’s THRIVE Podcast, Komal Minhas and Cydney discuss how resiliency is the key to adapting and overcoming at every stage of life.
