      <title>Longevity, Reinvention &amp; Redefining Aging with Dr. Khanh Nguyen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this deeply moving episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, Keni Silva sits down with regenerative medicine physician and longevity expert Dr. Khanh Nguyen for a powerful conversation about survival, resilience, healing, reinvention, and what it truly means to rebuild a life against impossible odds.</p>
<p>At just 13 years old, Dr. Khanh escaped Vietnam by boat with her 15-year-old sister in search of freedom and hope for a better future. For seven days, they sailed with little food or water after the boat’s engine broke down before eventually reaching Malaysia and living in a refugee camp. With nothing but determination and the dream of one day becoming a doctor in the United States, Dr. Khanh began a journey that would completely transform her life.</p>
<p>For over 30 years, she rarely spoke publicly about that experience.</p>
<p>After arriving in America unable to speak English, Dr. Khanh went on to become a critical care physician, dedicating her life to helping others survive. But after years working in internal and critical care medicine, she experienced severe burnout and developed an autoimmune condition that forced her to reevaluate both her health and the traditional medical system.</p>
<p>That turning point ultimately led her into regenerative and longevity medicine, where she now helps patients focus not just on surviving — but truly thriving.</p>
<p>Through her practice, Austin Regenerative Therapy, Dr. Khanh combines advanced therapies including peptide therapy, hormone optimization, plasma exchange, and regenerative treatments with foundational wellness practices centered around sleep, stress management, nutrition, muscle health, and emotional well-being.</p>
<p>In this conversation, Dr. Khanh opens up about overcoming fear, healing after burnout, redefining aging, and why longevity is deeply connected to mindset, emotional health, and learning to prioritize yourself without guilt.</p>
<p>This episode explores resilience, immigration, reinvention, burnout recovery, women’s health, longevity, healing, and the belief that transformation is possible at every stage of life.</p>

      <title>Reinvention, Motherhood &amp; Womanhood with Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this honest, funny, and deeply relatable episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Keni sits down with actress, author, entrepreneur, and television personality Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg for a candid conversation about reinvention, motherhood, hormonal health, relationships, and the evolving journey of womanhood.</p>
<p>Jenny opens up about taking a full year off from dating to reconnect with herself, heal emotionally, and rediscover who she was outside of relationships. Together, Keni and Jenny discuss the importance of learning how to be alone, finding confidence through different life stages, and allowing yourself space to grow and evolve.</p>
<p>The conversation also dives into motherhood and raising children, including the emotional challenges, lessons, and perspective shifts that come with parenting while balancing career, public life, and personal growth.</p>
<p>Jenny shares powerful insights from her upcoming book focused on pre-menopause, hormones, aging, and women’s health — breaking down the symptoms many women ignore, the changes women experience emotionally and physically, and why these conversations need to happen more openly and honestly.</p>
<p>The episode also explores clean beauty, toxic ingredients in skincare and makeup, and the inspiration behind Jenny’s beauty brand Formless Beauty.</p>
<p>From healing and self-discovery to relationships, health, motherhood, and confidence, this episode is a reminder that women are constantly evolving — and every chapter brings a new version of ourselves to rediscover.</p>

      <title>From Foster Care to Finding Identity: Healing, Resilience &amp; Rebuilding with Courtney Brooke</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Keni sits down with Courtney Brooke — speaker, designer, advocate, and co-founder of Barely Beige Studio — for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, identity, and what it takes to rebuild a life after the foster care system.</p>
<p>After entering foster care at just three years old, Courtney spent a decade moving through more than 30 homes, orphanages, and unstable environments, separated from siblings and searching for a sense of belonging. Her story is one of survival, but more importantly, transformation.</p>
<p>Today, Courtney channels her lived experience into creating intentional spaces rooted in healing, emotional safety, and connection. Through design, advocacy, and inner work, she has redefined what home truly means.</p>
<p>In this conversation, Courtney opens up about childhood trauma, the long-term impact of instability, therapy, the Hoffman Process, and the journey of reclaiming identity after years of feeling unseen. She also shares how her work with One Hope United is helping create stronger systems of care for foster youth.</p>
<p>This episode explores the realities of the foster care system, the emotional impact of growing up in foster care, and the resilience many foster youth develop while rebuilding identity, safety, and self-worth. Courtney also shares insight into foster care advocacy, trauma recovery, and creating stronger support systems for foster youth.</p>

      <title>Rebuilding After Rock Bottom: Addiction, Identity &amp; Reinvention with Shelton Wilder</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Keni sits down with luxury real estate powerhouse and CEO of The Shelton Wilder Group, Shelton Wilder, whose career has surpassed $850 million in sales across some of Los Angeles’ most competitive markets.</p>
<p>But this conversation goes far beyond business success. Shelton shares the deeply personal story behind the polished exterior — a journey through addiction, financial collapse, and the difficult process of rebuilding her identity from the ground up. More than 12 years sober, she opens up about what it means to lose everything, confront yourself honestly, and create a life rooted in purpose rather than image.</p>
<p>Together, Keni and Shelton explore resilience, leadership, recovery, self-worth, and the pressure women face to appear strong while navigating private struggles. Shelton also shares how she built a women-led culture within her business and why community, accountability, and emotional honesty became the foundation of both her personal life and professional success.</p>
<p>This episode is about reinvention — not as a perfect comeback story, but as the messy, honest work of rebuilding a life, reclaiming identity, and creating success on your own terms.</p>

      <title>From Toxic Overload to True Healing: Hidden Toxins, Chronic Symptoms &amp; Natural Healing with Dr. Daniel Pompa</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when your body starts breaking down—but no one can tell you why?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Keni sits down with <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Dr. Daniel Pompa</a> to uncover a truth most people overlook: sometimes it’s not one diagnosis—it’s everything your body has been carrying.</p>
<p>After facing debilitating symptoms with no clear answers, Dr. Pompa discovered that toxic overload was at the root of his condition. Together, they break down how everyday exposures—from the products in your home to the food you eat—quietly build up and impact your health.</p>
<p>But here’s the shift: healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.</p>
<p>This conversation brings it back to simplicity. Dr. Pompa shares how small, intentional changes—like cleaning up your environment, choosing better ingredients, and becoming aware of hidden toxins—can start transforming your health faster than you think.</p>
<p>It’s not about doing everything at once.</p>
<p>It’s about starting where you are—and realizing how much power you actually have.</p>
<p>Because sometimes, the path to feeling better isn’t complicated…</p>
<p>it’s just about finally seeing what’s been right in front of you.</p>

      <title>The Truth about Infertility - and What it does to a  Relationship — with Abbe Feder</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Abbe Federal joins in Heels with Keni Silva to share her journey through infertility, identity loss, and the impact fertility struggles have on relationships.</p>
<p>In this deeply honest episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Abbe Feder shares her personal journey through infertility and how it led her to create InCircle Fertility—a platform designed to support individuals and couples through one of life’s most complex and emotional experiences.</p>
<p>Blending lived experience with her background in behavioral science and coaching, she reveals how the process of trying to conceive can shift relationships from connection to pressure—exposing hidden cracks and forcing difficult, often unspoken decisions. She speaks candidly about identity loss, the moment women become patients before partners, and the emotional weight of navigating hope, grief, and uncertainty.</p>
<p>Now a mother to miracle twins, she is helping redefine the conversation around fertility—bridging the gap between clinical care and emotional support, and reminding people they don’t have to navigate this journey alone.</p>
<p>This episode is a powerful exploration of love, resilience, and what it truly means to rebuild yourself when life doesn’t go according to plan.</p>

<p>In this deeply honest episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Abbe Feder shares her personal journey through infertility and how it led her to create InCircle Fertility—a platform designed to support individuals and couples through one of life’s most complex and emotional experiences.</p>
<p>Blending lived experience with her background in behavioral science and coaching, she reveals how the process of trying to conceive can shift relationships from connection to pressure—exposing hidden cracks and forcing difficult, often unspoken decisions. She speaks candidly about identity loss, the moment women become patients before partners, and the emotional weight of navigating hope, grief, and uncertainty.</p>
<p>Now a mother to miracle twins, she is helping redefine the conversation around fertility—bridging the gap between clinical care and emotional support, and reminding people they don’t have to navigate this journey alone.</p>
<p>This episode is a powerful exploration of love, resilience, and what it truly means to rebuild yourself when life doesn’t go according to plan.</p>

      <title>From Health Crisis to Longevity: Why the Future of Health Is Being Rebuilt with Sanjiv Lal</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, entrepreneur and biotech investor Sanjiv Lal shares how a personal health crisis became the turning point that reshaped his entire career.</p>
<p>After contracting COVID and facing the possibility of serious complications, Sanjiv was forced to confront his own health in a way that changed his perspective completely. That moment led him to rethink not only his lifestyle—but also the future of healthcare, longevity, and performance.</p>
<p>What followed was the creation of a new company focused on optimizing health, extending performance, and building smarter approaches to longevity.</p>
<p>In this conversation, we go beyond biotech and into transformation.</p>
<p>Sanjiv breaks down:</p>
<p>• Why longevity is becoming one of the most important industries of our time</p>
<p>• How personal challenges can unlock new business opportunities</p>
<p>• What most people misunderstand about health and performance</p>
<p>• The realities of building in highly regulated industries</p>
<p>• And why starting before you feel ready is often the key to success</p>
<p>This episode is not just about science—it’s about redefining how we live, perform, and build for the future.</p>

      <title>The Ageless Revolution: Gretchen Rossi on Resilience, Reinvention &amp; Living Fully</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Gretchen Rossi</a> joins Keni for a candid conversation about resilience, reinvention, and living life on her own terms.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This episode reflects the many layers of resilience—not only in overcoming loss, but in choosing how to rebuild, evolve, and live fully.</p>

      <title>The Call That Changed Everything: Breast Cancer, Advocacy &amp; Purpose with Charlotte Martin</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Charlotte Martin joins Keni Silva for a powerful conversation about the phone call that changed her life forever. A six-year breast cancer survivor, patient advocate, and Director of Philanthropy for the American Cancer Society, Charlotte was diagnosed at just 31 — a moment that reshaped her identity, priorities, and sense of purpose overnight.</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Charlotte opens up about navigating treatment for HER2-positive invasive ductal carcinoma and the mental health realities that often go unspoken — anxiety, grief, fear, and the weight of survival. She shares what it meant to make life-altering decisions at a young age, from fertility and sexual health to relationships and self-image, while learning to advocate fiercely for her own care.</p>
<p>Now cancer-free and leading philanthropic efforts in Los Angeles, Charlotte has transformed her experience into meaningful impact. Her story goes beyond cancer — it’s about reclaiming clarity, redefining strength, and turning adversity into service. This conversation is for anyone navigating uncertainty and searching for purpose on the other side of hardship.</p>

      <title>From Survival to Significance: Faith, Motherhood &amp; Legacy with Rachel McCord</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Rachel McCord joins the conversation to share the deeply personal journey that transformed her life, faith, and purpose.</p>
<p>As the founder of <strong>The McCord List</strong>, 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>The Drama Diet: Breaking Free from Emotional Drama &amp; Reclaiming Your Inner Strength | Lisa Stuart</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the biggest obstacle in your life isn’t your circumstances — but the drama you allow to live in your mind?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Lisa Stuart</strong>, creator of <i>The Drama Diet</i>, to explore how emotional patterns and internal narratives can quietly shape the way we experience life, relationships, and personal growth.</p>
<p>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 <strong>The Drama Diet</strong>, a framework designed to help people recognize emotional triggers, set healthier boundaries, and move from reaction to clarity.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>Pretty, Sick &amp; Powerful: Rewriting Women’s Health &amp; Healing with Dr. Kayte Susse</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when the pursuit of beauty quietly turns into a long and confusing health battle?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Dr. Kayte Susse</strong> to explore the complex and often overlooked realities of women’s health.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <strong>Silicone Support Formula</strong>, developed to support detoxification and recovery for women navigating implant-related health challenges.</p>
<p>The conversation also introduces <strong>Biohack Your Beauty</strong>, a philosophy that reframes beauty as a reflection of internal health — from cellular function and hormone balance to nervous system regulation and longevity.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>Getting Unstuck: How Self-Awareness &amp; Self-Love Lead to Healing | Dr. Nicki Monti</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Why do so many of us find ourselves repeating the same emotional patterns in relationships and life?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with psychotherapist and spiritual healer <strong>Dr. Nicki Monti</strong> to explore what it truly means to get unstuck — emotionally, mentally, and relationally.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The conversation also offers practical tools to quiet negative self-talk, shift perspective, and reconnect with the present moment.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>Choosing Her Own Script: Trusting Intuition &amp; Owning Your Power with Caylee Cowan</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when you stop following the script others expect you to live — and start trusting your own intuition instead?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with actress and producer <strong>Caylee Cowan</strong> for an honest conversation about choosing creativity, intuition, and personal truth over conventional expectations.</p>
<p>Before pursuing acting, Caylee was on a path toward medicine, even shadowing physicians at the <strong>Mayo Clinic</strong>. 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 <i>Willy’s Wonderland</i> alongside <strong>Nicolas Cage</strong>, <i>Frank and Penelope</i>, and <i>Divinity</i>, which competed at the <strong>Sundance Film Festival</strong>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>From YouTube Pioneer to Hollywood Powerhouse: Reinvention &amp; Purpose with Diana Madison</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it take to reinvent yourself again and again while staying true to your voice?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Diana Madison</strong> — actress, filmmaker, entrepreneur, and founder of <strong>Diana Madison Beauty</strong> — for a powerful conversation about trusting the pivot and building a career with purpose.</p>
<p>Long before creator culture became mainstream, Diana was one of the early pioneers of <strong>YouTube media</strong>, building a digital platform that generated billions of views before being acquired by <strong>Radio One / TV One</strong>. After more than a decade at the forefront of digital storytelling, she chose to reinvent herself once again — stepping fully into filmmaking and entrepreneurship.</p>
<p>Diana shares how her personal experience with eczema inspired the launch of <strong>Diana Madison Beauty</strong>, a clean skincare line rooted in ancestral beauty traditions and now sold at major retailers including <strong>Macy’s</strong> and <strong>Neiman Marcus</strong>.</p>
<p>She also opens up about her evolution as an actress and director, including her work on <i>The Other Side of Fame</i> and her directorial debut <i>There’s No Place Like Home</i>, a documentary preserving the history of Armenian ethnic cleansing.</p>
<p>This conversation is a masterclass in reinvention, honoring heritage, and building a career rooted in authenticity — proving that true power comes from trusting your voice, even when the path keeps changing.</p>

      <title>Divorce, Reinvention &amp; Reclaiming Your Power with Stacy Phillips</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it really take to navigate divorce — not just legally, but emotionally and personally?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Stacy Phillips</strong>, 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Stacy also shares the inspiration behind her groundbreaking <strong>2+1 Intervention Method™</strong>, designed to help families and spouses affected by addiction, and reflects on how her own life experiences shaped her mission to empower women during some of life’s most challenging moments.</p>
<p>From co-parenting with intention to rebuilding confidence and independence, this conversation is a reminder that divorce can be both an ending and a powerful new beginning.</p>
<p>Strength doesn’t always show up loudly — sometimes it arrives quietly… in heels.</p>

      <title>Turning Challenges into Diamonds: Reinvention, Single Motherhood &amp; Building Camilla Seretti with Sahar Manley</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What happens when life forces you to start over — and you decide to build something even stronger than before?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Sahar Manley</strong>, founder of luxury jewelry brand <strong>Camilla Seretti</strong>, to talk about resilience, reinvention, and building a life on your own terms.</p>
<p>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 <strong>Camilla Seretti</strong> just before the world shut down.</p>
<p>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 <strong>25 boutiques and over 60 magazine covers</strong>, with plans to open an international store in <strong>Dubai</strong>.</p>
<p>In this inspiring conversation, Sahar shares what it really takes to build a business and life without waiting for perfect timing or permission.</p>
<p>Her story is a powerful reminder that sometimes the greatest pressure in life is exactly what turns challenges into diamonds.</p>

      <title>Dreaming of Family: Redefining Fertility &amp; Modern Parenthood with Dr. Arnold Mahesan</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it mean to dream of family in a world where science, choice, and identity are redefining the path to parenthood?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with fertility specialist <strong>Dr. Arnold Mahesan</strong>, Founder and Medical Director of <strong>Beverly Hills Babies</strong>, to explore how modern reproductive medicine is changing the way families are built.</p>
<p>Double board-certified in both Canada and the United States, Dr. Mahesan combines advanced reproductive technologies — including IVF, egg freezing, egg donation, and surrogacy — with a personalized and compassionate approach to fertility care.</p>
<p>Together, Keni and Dr. Mahesan discuss how the definition of family is evolving and why starting a family today doesn’t always follow traditional timelines or expectations. They unpack important topics such as the biological clock, single parenthood by choice, same-sex family building, and the role of modern surrogacy in expanding possibilities for future parents.</p>
<p>This conversation offers clarity, empowerment, and practical insight for anyone navigating fertility decisions or thinking about their future family.</p>
<p>A powerful reminder that there is no single path to parenthood — only the one that feels right for you.</p>

      <title>Heels, Hustle &amp; High Fashion: Building an Empire with Jessica Rich</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it really take to build a fashion empire — and keep standing strong when life tests your resilience?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with fashion designer <strong>Jessica Rich</strong>, the visionary behind some of the most recognizable heels on red carpets around the world.</p>
<p>Her designs have been worn by icons including <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Jennifer Lopez</a>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Kim Kardashian</a>, and <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Cardi B</a> — but Jessica’s journey to global recognition didn’t happen overnight.</p>
<p>Jessica shares the real story behind building her footwear empire, from early career pivots and viral moments that propelled her brand into the spotlight, to the strategy, relationships, and resilience required to sustain success in the competitive fashion industry.</p>
<p>She also opens up about the challenges of navigating copycat culture, balancing bold design with comfort, and maintaining authenticity while scaling a global brand.</p>
<p>Beyond the glamour, Jessica reveals the deeply personal chapter of her life that few people saw — supporting her mother and brother through their battles with cancer while continuing to build her business.</p>
<p>This conversation is about ambition, reinvention, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward — even when the ground beneath you feels uncertain.</p>
<p>A powerful reminder that true success isn’t built by vision alone, but by courage, resilience, and heart.</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What does it really take to build a fashion empire — and keep standing strong when life tests your resilience?</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with fashion designer <strong>Jessica Rich</strong>, the visionary behind some of the most recognizable heels on red carpets around the world.</p>
<p>Her designs have been worn by icons including <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Jennifer Lopez</a>, <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Kim Kardashian</a>, and <a rel="noopener noreferrer">Cardi B</a> — but Jessica’s journey to global recognition didn’t happen overnight.</p>
<p>Jessica shares the real story behind building her footwear empire, from early career pivots and viral moments that propelled her brand into the spotlight, to the strategy, relationships, and resilience required to sustain success in the competitive fashion industry.</p>
<p>She also opens up about the challenges of navigating copycat culture, balancing bold design with comfort, and maintaining authenticity while scaling a global brand.</p>
<p>Beyond the glamour, Jessica reveals the deeply personal chapter of her life that few people saw — supporting her mother and brother through their battles with cancer while continuing to build her business.</p>
<p>This conversation is about ambition, reinvention, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward — even when the ground beneath you feels uncertain.</p>
<p>A powerful reminder that true success isn’t built by vision alone, but by courage, resilience, and heart.</p>

      <title>Turning Survival into Music, Mission &amp; Miracles: A Mother–Daughter Conversation with Alexis Silva</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><i>“This is surreal… that’s my mom’s name. This is literally my mom’s manifestation coming true.”</i></p>
<p>When singer-songwriter <strong>Alexis Silva</strong> walked into the studio and saw her mother’s name on the set of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, the moment stopped her in her tracks.</p>
<p>In this deeply personal episode, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with a very special guest — her daughter.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Through music, Alexis found her voice, creating her debut album <strong>555</strong>, inspired by the signs she believes surrounded her healing and the memory of her grandmother.</p>
<p>During the conversation, Alexis shares another moment that captures their relationship perfectly:</p>
<p><i>“There’s nothing impossible for my mom.”</i></p>
<p>Now stepping into a new era of what she calls <strong>“fun country girl pop,”</strong> Alexis is using her voice, her music, and her nonprofit work to inspire other young people facing challenges.</p>
<p>This episode is a powerful story of resilience, faith, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter who continue to inspire each other.</p>
