The Solution Giver

Gwen Sembada believes in the law of attraction. It helps her to always think positively, avoid focusing on the problems she’s facing, and look at solutions instead. In short, there’s no point in wallowing about a bad situation. “Everybody is facing the same uncertainties,” says the mother of one. “It’s the perfect time to challenge yourself and hopefully come out a better person.”

That believe aligns perfectly with Gwen’s career. She’s the co-founder of Alive by Vision, an insurance agency that provide solutions and financial advice for individuals as well as businesses. Interestingly, for this mother of one, there’re no such thing as “work/life balance.” As Gwen works while also multitasking as a mom and a wife at the same time, she faces a dynamic set of circumstances every day. To that end, she has come to accept that achieving balance is not the main goal. For her, achieving a healthy relationship is far more important.

While nothing in life is predictable and easy, whenever Gwen faces a difficult challenge, she always tries to make herself remember her life mantra, that there’s always a silver lining to every situation and what doesn’t kill her can only make her stronger. She knows that it sounds clichéd, but thinking about these phrases has always helped her whether throughout her career or in life. And this way, she can focus on creating solutions, or finding people who can advise her, provide new insight, or tackle new problems.
