Breaking Free from Age Limits
In 2006, Brenda Cascio was nearing her 50s, holding a fine arts degree but dedicating much of her professional life to managing her husband's dental practice.
Yet, an opportunity to launch her own company with her daughter emerged, leading to the creation of GB Design House. Their unique style and innovative designs attracted prestigious clients like Miu Miu, Neiman Marcus, and Lululemon Athletica, along with numerous celebrity weddings.
Brenda's entrepreneurial journey truly took off at almost 50, and she believes there's something liberating about entering the second half of life. It's a time when she realized she held the reins of her career and decided that if not now, then when?
Brenda's advice for women apprehensive about their age is simple: "Don't compare yourself to others or other ages."
Success isn't about measuring up to someone else's achievements but shedding self-imposed limitations. She encourages women to break free from the countless valid reasons they conjure to justify why their dreams might not work.
The empowering aspect of being over 40, she explains, is that you stop caring as much about what others think. It's about charting your path, measuring your success on your own terms, and embracing the limitless possibilities of the second half of life.
