Gretchen briefly reflects on personal loss—including losing a loved one and, with Slade, his son to cancer—and how it shaped her view on love, faith, and moving forward.

From navigating heartbreak and divorce to rebuilding love on her own terms, Gretchen opens up about creating a nontraditional partnership rooted in faith rather than legal structure—and redefining what commitment truly means.

She also dives into a painful health journey marked by severe hip pain that at one point left her struggling to walk and searching for answers. What she discovered was a deeper issue—systemic inflammation linked to everyday products. Through that experience, she became her own advocate, transforming her lifestyle, wellness routine, and approach to beauty from the inside out.

Now embracing what she calls an “ageless” lifestyle, Gretchen is focused on empowering women to take control of their health, choices, and the way they live their lives.

This episode reflects the many layers of resilience—not only in overcoming loss, but in choosing how to rebuild, evolve, and live fully.

Part of the March series highlighting women who have faced life’s hardest moments—and stood stronger because of them.

As the founder of The McCord List, Rachel built a media platform dedicated to hope, faith, and positive storytelling. But behind the scenes, she was facing a health battle that doctors struggled to diagnose for nearly eight years.

After years of worsening symptoms and unanswered questions, Rachel and her husband finally discovered the cause: a life-threatening mitral valve condition that required open-heart surgery. Just months earlier, she had appeared in Times Square and landed a major television opportunity — making the sudden shift from public success to a fight for survival even more surreal.

Rachel opens up about the emotional journey leading up to surgery, the supernatural peace she says came through her faith, and the perspective that emerged on the other side of the storm.

Now a survivor, mother, and media leader, Rachel reflects on how the experience reshaped her priorities — shifting her focus toward intentional motherhood, building a meaningful legacy, and using her platform to encourage others navigating uncertainty and adversity.

This conversation is a reminder that sometimes life’s greatest trials become the turning point toward deeper purpose, stronger faith, and a renewed commitment to what truly matters.

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with Lisa Stuart, creator of The Drama Diet, to explore how emotional patterns and internal narratives can quietly shape the way we experience life, relationships, and personal growth.

After navigating divorce, personal loss, and the challenges of motherhood, Lisa made a powerful decision: she would no longer allow drama to control her life. That choice led her to create The Drama Diet, a framework designed to help people recognize emotional triggers, set healthier boundaries, and move from reaction to clarity.

Together, Keni and Lisa discuss how fear often fuels unnecessary drama, how to identify the patterns that keep us stuck, and how anyone can develop the self-awareness needed to lead their life from a place of calm strength.

Lisa shares practical insights on how to disrupt, deflate, and detox drama — while rewriting the internal stories that keep us trapped in cycles of stress and emotional overwhelm.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that thriving isn’t about avoiding life’s challenges — it’s about learning how to meet them with clarity, resilience, and intention.

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with Dr. Kayte Susse to explore the complex and often overlooked realities of women’s health.

After undergoing cosmetic breast implant surgery in her twenties, Dr. Kayte began experiencing a cascade of unexplained symptoms that left her searching for answers. What followed was a years-long journey through chronic illness that ultimately led her to explore integrative medicine, functional health, toxicology, regenerative therapies, and longevity science.

Instead of allowing her experience to define her limitations, Dr. Kayte transformed her struggle into purpose — dedicating her work to helping women understand the deeper connections between toxins, hormones, immune health, and overall well-being.

Together, Keni and Dr. Kayte discuss breast implant illness, silicone exposure, and why women’s health concerns are often dismissed or misunderstood within traditional medical systems. Dr. Kayte also shares the inspiration behind her Silicone Support Formula, developed to support detoxification and recovery for women navigating implant-related health challenges.

The conversation also introduces Biohack Your Beauty, a philosophy that reframes beauty as a reflection of internal health — from cellular function and hormone balance to nervous system regulation and longevity.

This episode is not only about illness — it’s about empowerment, listening to your body, and redefining what it truly means to feel healthy, strong, and whole.

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with psychotherapist and spiritual healer Dr. Nicki Monti to explore what it truly means to get unstuck — emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

Dr. Monti explains how unconscious beliefs and behavioral patterns can quietly shape our decisions, relationships, and sense of self. Through deeper self-awareness, she shares how we can begin to recognize these patterns and create space for meaningful change.

Together, Keni and Dr. Monti discuss the power of vulnerability in healing, why self-love does not require perfection, and how true independence actually includes healthy interdependence with others.

The conversation also offers practical tools to quiet negative self-talk, shift perspective, and reconnect with the present moment.

This episode is a grounded and compassionate reminder that healing doesn’t require becoming someone new — it’s about coming home to yourself and learning to move forward with clarity, gratitude, and self-trust.

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with actress and producer Caylee Cowan for an honest conversation about choosing creativity, intuition, and personal truth over conventional expectations.

Before pursuing acting, Caylee was on a path toward medicine, even shadowing physicians at the Mayo Clinic. But a deeper pull toward storytelling led her to pivot into theater and film — a decision that quickly launched her career, with roles in projects including Willy’s Wonderland alongside Nicolas Cage, Frank and Penelope, and Divinity, which competed at the Sundance Film Festival.

Caylee opens up about navigating rejection in Hollywood, the emotional preparation required for demanding roles, and why she considers acting a privilege she never takes lightly.

She also shares how stepping into producing has become a natural extension of her creative voice — and why she is passionate about supporting more authentic and complex female storytelling in film.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t come from following someone else’s script — it comes from trusting yourself enough to write your own.

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with Diana Madison — actress, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and founder of Diana Madison Beauty — for a powerful conversation about trusting the pivot and building a career with purpose.

Long before creator culture became mainstream, Diana was one of the early pioneers of YouTube media, building a digital platform that generated billions of views before being acquired by Radio One / TV One. After more than a decade at the forefront of digital storytelling, she chose to reinvent herself once again — stepping fully into filmmaking and entrepreneurship.

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, host Keni Silva sits down with Stacy Phillips, one of the most respected divorce and family law attorneys in the country, for an honest and insightful conversation about the deeper realities of divorce.

With decades of experience guiding families through high-conflict and high-net-worth divorces, Stacy explains why divorce is far more than a legal process — it is often a profound emotional transition that requires clarity, support, and resilience.

Together, Keni and Stacy discuss common misconceptions about divorce, the importance of therapy and strong support systems, and how women can protect their peace while navigating major life changes.

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.

When singer-songwriter Alexis Silva walked into the studio and saw her mother’s name on the set of In Heels with Keni Silva, the moment stopped her in her tracks.

In this deeply personal episode, host Keni Silva sits down with a very special guest — her daughter.

At just fourteen years old, Alexis was diagnosed with a life-threatening adrenal tumor wrapped around her vena cava, leading to a dangerous seven-hour surgery and months of uncertainty. Instead of allowing the experience to define her trauma, she turned survival into purpose.

Through music, Alexis found her voice, creating her debut album 555, inspired by the signs she believes surrounded her healing and the memory of her grandmother.

During the conversation, Alexis shares another moment that captures their relationship perfectly:

“There’s nothing impossible for my mom.”

Now stepping into a new era of what she calls “fun country girl pop,” Alexis is using her voice, her music, and her nonprofit work to inspire other young people facing challenges.

This episode is a powerful story of resilience, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter who continue to inspire each other.
