Sydney & I met up here in Atlanta to talk about her beautiful first born child, Leighton, who died at 39 weeks from a 4x nuchal cord on October 17, 2022. This is an extremely rare event, and unlike a lot of stories on this podcast, was not preventable.

Sydney opens up about how this has altered her whole world and the choices she's had to make to keep moving forward. We are friends here in Atlanta, and I can tell you Sydney is such a light in such a dark dark reality. Her faith in God is inspiring & how she handles her grief with such grace is truly admirable. I felt the world needed to hear her story.

What we discuss:

• Leighton's death & birth
• Things that happened in the hospital
• How to continue your faith
• Her experience "in the trenches"
• The choice she made to keep going
• How she handles situations that make her anxious
• Her relationship with her husband
• What she is battling now 6 months later
• So much more.

Sydney hopes to help as many mommas as she can. Feel free to connect with her on IG at @sydandlexphoto
