The company believes in being a caring community that helps clients see the big picture: supporting a prepared adult in creating an environment that meets their child&#8217;s needs. They also draw inspiration from the work of Daniel J. Siegel, author of <em>The Whole Brain Child<\/em>, and Becky Bailey, founder of Conscious Discipline, to enrich their approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhether you\u2019re a school looking for guidance, a homeschooler seeking direction, or a parent curious about this educational journey, we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way, online and in person,\u201d Sison said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: What is your \u201clife motto?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AS:<\/strong> That\u2019s a tough one. I feel like I hold on to unique promises in different phases of my life. However, I do like the idea of being life-giving. \u201cBe a well, even in the desert,\u201d is one of my guiding principles. It is also why I chose Desertwell as a name. Being stewards of children is not an easy job; we need a village to sustain us. When I notice that I am not \u201clife-giving\u201d to others, it is usually a sign for me to self-check on which areas I need to take care of before I can take care of others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: Did you always know that you wanted to be an entrepreneur? If not, when did you realize that it was the right path right for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AS:<\/strong> I grew up in the Philippines, where entrepreneurship is almost natural for everyone. You go to the public market and you can haggle prices, negotiation is learned early on! I came from a family of business people. They were in retail, funeral parlors, and foreign currency exchange.\u00a0 As anyone can attest, I did not like the idea that we could be at the mercy of the market and irregular schedules.\u00a0 However, looking back now as an adult, I appreciate the time my parents made themselves available when we needed them. I was exposed to experiences and travel because of the flexibility it allowed them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Covid made me realize that time and attention are the most valuable commodity. I also saw a greater need in children after the pandemic. Most teachers and parents needed support. At that time, I had enough experience to offer. It was more of a process for me, but all my exposure and experiences in childhood came back naturally when I implemented my services as a business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"682\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-16633 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-1024x682.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30083836\/DSC_9941.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: How do you feel best supported?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AS:<\/strong> When in the community, I feel supported. There is such a \u201ccollective effervescence\u201d when you are in a room full of people or having a coffee with another passionate person who is encouraging or perhaps has been through the ringer and may know the right words or resources to keep you going. Foundress is an excellent community for new businesses like me.

Service will always be a component that will drive me to work harder. Also, having a supportive partner is a huge blessing. I have a husband who has his own business as well. He has been through the highs and lows and motivates me to keep going. He has a good handle on the market&#8217;s pulse, and his research ability is on-point. He fills my lacking and reminds me to surround myself with people different from me to fill my blindsides. He definitely fills that gap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: Describe your perfect Saturday morning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AS:<\/strong> Waking up to beautiful spring desert weather when I can open the windows and let nature in. A full spread of hearty and healthy breakfast fills the scent of the room with family and friends around the table. These are mornings that I can sit-back and marvel with contentment at what life has blessed me with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1000\"  height=\"800\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-16635 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828-380x304.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828-800x640.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/people\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/30091822\/DSC_9828-80x64.jpg 80w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AZF: What\u2019s one piece of advice you\u2019d give to a young entrepreneur who is just starting out?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AS:<\/strong> Keep casting your vision, have an accountability partner or a community, adjust if needed, always be curious, and ask for help.
