Today we’d like to introduce you to Sylvia Kindlain
Hi Sylvia, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
In 2010, I graduated with a master’s degree from George Mason University and began my career at the U.S. Travel Association in Washington, D.C., where I worked in the government relations department, lobbying for travel-related issues. By early 2015, I felt that D.C. was no longer the right fit for me. After a weekend trip to Fort Lauderdale, I knew I would be calling South Florida my new home.
After months of meticulous planning—saving diligently, working a side job to clear debts, job hunting, and making numerous trips for informational interviews and apartment searches—I made the move to Fort Lauderdale in September 2015. Relocating to a city where I knew no one was a bold move, but it proved to be a turning point in my career.
The move to Fort Lauderdale marked the beginning of a transformative journey. Initially, I worked as a server to support myself while searching for a position in my field. Eventually, I navigated my way through various roles, from working at different agencies to being a marketing manager for a Hilton hotel, and ultimately embraced the challenges of freelancing. When COVID hit, freelancing opportunities became scarce as many businesses were shutting down and cutting budgets. However, I found a remote role with an agency, which turned out to be a great decision. This position provided valuable experience in travel technology and retail, helping me refine my writing and strategic skills.
While working a full-time job, I made the decision to start my own agency with the invaluable support and encouragement of my husband. In May 2023, I officially launched Blimitless Consulting, initially taking on small projects during my free time, primarily on weekends. I faced a pivotal moment in March 2024, when I became a parent. After the birth of my son, I chose to transition away from my full-time position to fully focus on raising my child and dedicate myself to Blimitless Consulting. This decision has allowed me to channel my energy into expanding my business, while also embracing the rewarding challenges of motherhood.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The journey to where I am today has certainly had its challenges. Balancing the demands of starting and nurturing a business while maintaining a full-time job was far from easy. The major turning point came with becoming a mother to my beautiful son. This new role has brought immense joy but also significant challenges, prompting me to reassess my priorities.
I decided to leave my full-time account management position and temporarily pause the expansion of my business, which led to some financial strain as our household transitioned from two incomes to one. After a few months of adjusting to life with my newborn, I started to focus on growing my client portfolio and advancing my business. Juggling the demands of motherhood with managing my PR agency has been a challenge, testing my time management skills and my ability to remain attuned to clients’ needs, all while navigating an ever-evolving industry.
Reflecting on these experiences, I realize that many of my successes have emerged from overcoming these struggles. These challenges have been crucial in my personal and professional growth, fostering a resilient mindset and a tenacious work ethic. Each obstacle has provided valuable lessons and opportunities for development.
Now that I’ve adjusted to my new life, I’m dedicated to growing my client portfolio and driving my business forward. The flexibility of owning my own business has been invaluable, allowing me to provide for my son while pursuing my professional goals. This experience has reinforced my belief in the importance of adaptability and has profoundly shaped my approach to both my career and personal life.

Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
One surprising thing that most people might not know about me is that my husband was the one who encouraged me to start my own agency. Without his unwavering support, I would have never taken the leap to create Blimitless. He’s been the driving force behind its creation, consistently motivating me to be the best version of myself in both life and work. His strong belief in my ability to launch and succeed with my own agency has been a cornerstone of our journey together.
As a business owner himself, he understands not only what it takes to succeed but also the hard work and dedication required. We collaborate closely, pushing each other to reach our full potential while balancing the demands of both our professional and personal lives. In addition to running Blimitless, I also co-own two other companies with my husband, wearing many hats as we navigate the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship together.
