      <title>Paige Davis: Chronically Single, Unfiltered &amp; Turning Dating Chaos into Comedy Gold</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Modern dating is messy—and Paige Davis has turned every chaotic, hilarious, and painfully real moment into content millions can’t get enough of. Known for her viral solo holiday card and candid storytelling, Paige has built a brand around being unapologetically “chronically single”—and owning it.</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, Paige sits down with Keni to unpack the emotional and comedic reality of being the only single friend in a world of weddings, babies, and milestones. From outrageous dating stories to moments of loneliness and self-discovery, she shares what it really looks like to navigate love in today’s world—without settling.</p>
<p>Paige also reveals how she transformed her dating experiences into a full-time career, securing major brand partnerships and developing her viral story into an upcoming romantic comedy, <i>The Christmas Card</i>. With humor, honesty, and sharp perspective, she reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful love story is the one you build with yourself.</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>
<p><i>Part of the March series highlighting women who have faced life’s hardest moments—and stood stronger because of them.</i></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.

<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>

      <content:encoded><![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>

      <title>From Shame to Sparkle: Healing Trauma, PTSD &amp; Reclaiming Your Power with Lacy Nicole</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Lacy Nicole</strong>, founder of the <i>Shame to Sparkle</i> movement, to explore the journey from trauma to empowerment.</p>
<p>After surviving childhood trauma, kidnapping, PTSD, and autoimmune illness, Lacy refused to let shame define her life. Instead, she transformed her survival into purpose — becoming an advocate for healing, self-leadership, and women’s empowerment.</p>
<p>Together, Keni and Lacy dive into how trauma silently impacts women’s health, the difference between PTSD and Complex PTSD, and why so many women remain stuck in survival mode. Lacy shares the importance of self-advocacy within the medical system, the role of inner-child healing, and how reclaiming your voice can become the first step toward reclaiming your power.</p>
<p>From founding the <strong>Shame to Sparkle movement</strong> to stepping onto national platforms, Lacy’s story is a powerful reminder that resilience is not just about surviving — it’s about choosing to rise, heal, and shine.</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>

      <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>

      <title>Silent Struggles: Eating Disorders, Identity &amp; Recovery with Danny Falco</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Eating disorders are often misunderstood. They are not simply about food or appearance — they are complex mental health conditions that affect millions of people, often in silence.</p>
<p>In this episode of <i>In Heels with Keni Silva</i>, host <strong>Keni Silva</strong> sits down with <strong>Danny Falco</strong>, recording artist, mental health advocate, and council member of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer">National Eating Disorders Association</a>.</p>
<p>Danny shares his deeply personal journey with an eating disorder and the path toward recovery. From growing up in the entertainment industry to navigating identity, pressure, and stigma, he opens up about the challenges many people experience but rarely talk about.</p>
<p>Together, Keni and Danny discuss how eating disorders impact both mental and physical health, the unique struggles faced by men and LGBTQ+ communities, and the importance of awareness, education, and accessible support.</p>
<p>Danny also highlights the work being done by the <strong>National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA)</strong> to provide screenings, resources, and support for individuals seeking help.</p>
<p>This conversation is about compassion, understanding, and hope — a reminder that recovery is possible and no one has to face these struggles alone.</p>

<p>If this episode brought up questions or concerns about eating disorders or mental health, support is available. The <strong>National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA)</strong> offers free screenings, educational resources, and guidance for individuals and loved ones seeking help.</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>
