Meet Sydney Noelle

We were lucky to catch up with Sydney Noelle recently and have shared our conversation below.

Sydney, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.

I was a really shy, sensitive kid, and for a long time I thought that was something I had to grow out of. What I’ve learned instead is how to fine tune my confidence without forcing myself to be someone I’m not. Spending time alone, trying things on my own, and really sitting with who I am played a huge role in that. Last year I also completed The Empath Leader training, led by psychotherapist Claudia Cauterucci, which totally shifted how I understand my sensitivity. It taught me how to actually work with my empathic nature instead of against it. Being more aware of my own energy has changed everything for me. The more I lean into being fully myself, the right people, opportunities, and experiences show up in my orbit, and I have tangible proof of that. And honestly, having a loving and supportive family has made a massive difference in how I see myself too. I don’t think that part gets talked about enough when it comes to self esteem. I feel really aligned with the way I show up in the world.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

I am a multidisciplinary movement artist working as a model, content creator, performer, and Nike trainer. The most special part of what I do is that my work is a direct extension of the practices in my own life. Through my business, The Noelle Flow, I focus on helping people come into their bodies through yoga, somatic movement, and meditation. Everything I teach is rooted in my own lived practice, so it feels very real and embodied. Movement feels innate to me, and I love that I get to explore it through teaching, workshops, dance, and performance. I am also deeply connected to community and to creating spaces that feel safe, expressive, and grounded. As I step further into performance and acting, what excites me most is that I do not feel like I have to separate any part of myself, it’s all integrated. I get to show up exactly as I am in my work and in my personal life.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, I think the three most impactful things for me have been trial and error, vulnerability, and consistency. In the beginning, especially with content, I was truly just doing it for fun. I was not overthinking how it would be perceived. I allowed myself to make mistakes in real time and learn as I went. That taught me far more than waiting until I felt ready or perfect. Vulnerability has also been huge. Showing the process, not just the polished moments, is what actually lets people connect with you. You never really know how many people relate to your journey until you let them see it. And then consistency. Just continuing to show up, even when things feel uncertain or slow, is what slowly builds momentum.

For anyone early in their journey, my biggest advice is to not wait until you feel fully confident or fully prepared. Let yourself be a beginner. Try things, make mistakes, learn from them, and keep going. Use every experience as feedback instead of failure, and trust that clarity comes through action, not before it.

To close, maybe we can chat about your parents and what they did that was particularly impactful for you?

I love this question!

The most impactful thing my parents did was fully document and genuinely support my childhood. I have an album on my phone with home videos from the day I was born through my teenage years. Watching them now, I can literally see how loved and supported I was. They encouraged my creativity early on and, more than anything, they allowed me to be exactly who I was without trying to shape me into anything else. Even when they were worried, they never projected their fears onto me or pushed societal pressure onto my choices. I grew up in a very warm household with a lot of affection and encouragement, and that has deeply shaped who I am today. It gave me a strong emotional foundation, a real sense of safety, and the capacity to lead with love in how I move through the world.
