Greta Johnsen talks with Caller Sylvia about trading her Google paycheck for a Silicon Valley gamble, the layoff that blindsided her, and the 3 a.m. regrets that keep circling back.
What You'll Hear:
The 3 A.M. Math Problem: Sylvia opens up about the intrusive thoughts that visit during perimenopause insomnia, mostly questions about the career path she didn't take.
A Four-Hour Commute and a Big Bet: From nearly a decade at Google to chasing a Silicon Valley payday, Sylvia walks through the sacrifices, the risks, and the layoff that upended the plan.
Windows Where Doors Used to Be: Greta and Sylvia land on something gentler than regret, the idea that the life you didn't choose might have cost you the one you actually wanted.
