"Sometimes, life breaks you down to build you back stronger."


We sit down with Sylvia Chan, a remarkable woman who turned her darkest moments into a mission to inspire and empower others. From navigating a public divorce and professional setbacks to building a thriving travel content channel and coaching business, Sylvia’s journey is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the power of community.


What to expect:

- How Sylvia transformed her pain into purpose after hitting rock bottom.

- The surprising lessons she learned from working with over 15 coaches (yes, 15!).

- Why she believes in the power of *abundance, collaboration, and community* for business growth.

- Her candid take on side hustles: Should they be profitable or just for fun?

- The importance of finding your tribe and building a support system that lifts you up.


"It’s not about how many times you fall—it’s about how you rise, rebuild, and thrive."


Whether you’re a jaded corporate professional, an aspiring entrepreneur, or someone searching for meaning in life’s chaos, Sylvia’s story will inspire you to take that leap of faith and create the life you deserve.
