Episode Notes

What happens when life forces you to start over — and you decide to build something even stronger than before?

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with Sahar Manley, founder of luxury jewelry brand Camilla Seretti, to talk about resilience, reinvention, and building a life on your own terms.

After years working in luxury fashion, fine jewelry, and high-end sales, Sahar faced a major turning point following a difficult divorce. Instead of stepping back, she chose to move forward boldly — becoming a single mother by choice and launching Camilla Seretti just before the world shut down.

Running the business from her condo while raising her daughter, Sahar transformed uncertainty into opportunity. What began as a leap of faith quickly grew into a nationally recognized brand, now featured in more than 25 boutiques and over 60 magazine covers, with plans to open an international store in Dubai.

In this inspiring conversation, Sahar shares what it really takes to build a business and life without waiting for perfect timing or permission.

Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the greatest pressure in life is exactly what turns challenges into diamonds.
