But the realities of payout and the grind coming to a halt had her reflecting on her next steps. She felt a pull to still prove something to herself. For years, she’d built tech companies alongside her husband and brother. But this time, she wanted to step out on her own—and into something completely different: fashion.It wasn’t just a career pivot. It was a lifelong dream, shadowed by questions many of us quietly ask: Can I really do this on my own? Do I have what it takes? Is it too late?Join us as we dive into Silvia’s journey of reflection and reinvention—through career, money, and what it means to start over mid career.01:22 Starting over from tech to fashion 03:36 : First startup04:19 Why you?
