Be All You Are

“People believe you when you tell them who you are.” - Lydia Fenet

In this energizing conversation, Kena sits down with Lydia Fenet - global charity auctioneer, keynote speaker, and bestselling author - to talk about confidence, power, and the practice of self-authorship.

Lydia has spent more than two decades commanding rooms and raising over a billion dollars for charitable causes. But the real lesson she’s learned along the way is this:

People believe you when you tell them who you are.

Together, Kena and Lydia explore what happens when women stop downplaying their gifts and begin speaking about themselves with clarity and conviction. They talk about failure as part of the path, the courage to claim who you’re becoming, and why no one is coming to “discover” you - you have to name yourself first.

This episode is a powerful reminder that the next chapter of your life begins with the story you’re willing to tell about yourself.

“I no longer feel like I overcame my life. I know now that I was meant to live it exactly as it unfolded.” - Kena

In this deeply personal episode, recorded just before my 50th birthday, I reflect on five decades of living, loving, losing, and becoming.

From losing my father at 20 to navigating grief, reinvention, motherhood, and starting again, this is an invitation to look at your own journey with new eyes.

For many years, I carried the identity of survivor.

As I step into my fifties, something has shifted.

I no longer feel like I overcame my life.

I know now that I was meant to live it exactly as it unfolded.

In this conversation, I share what I’m releasing and what I’m claiming in this next decade - trusting my intuition, using my voice more fully, letting go of people-pleasing, and stepping into a season of creating, leading, and thriving.

Your story matters - not just for you, but for every woman who needs to see what’s possible.

“Why are we so quick to question our own authority - and so willing to hand it to others?”

In this episode, Kena reflects on what it means to stay in relationship with life when things feel heavy - personally and collectively. She explores how we navigate uncertainty without falling into despair, and why choosing possibility is one of the most powerful acts we can make.

She revisits key mindset shifts for women in midlife, especially during challenging seasons:

• Moving from “hard as the default” into curiosity and possibility
• Making commitments instead of chasing goals
• Playing the long game
• Trusting body wisdom over conditioned thinking
• Remembering that everything feels heavier when we do it alone

The episode closes with a powerful passage from Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money and Living a Committed Life - a reminder that humanity rises when heart-centered feminine values like compassion, empathy, humility, and love are fully expressed.

Kena also offers a behind-the-scenes look at what’s unfolding inside Supernova this month - including full moon gatherings, support circles, guest experiences, and her upcoming Love Yourself First workshop focused on radical self-love and choosing yourself from the inside out.

This is a conversation about hope, truth, leadership, and remembering your own authority - especially when the world feels uncertain.

“The world will try to beat you down - you can’t do it to yourself.” - Julie Wainwright, Founder The RealReal

What happens when your career becomes a headline - and not the kind you wanted - and you still choose to begin again?

In this episode, Kena sits down with Julie Wainwright, founder of The RealReal (the billion-dollar global luxury resale company that disrupted the fashion industry) and one of the few women to take a company public. Julie shares the real story behind the success: a childhood shaped by creativity and hardship, the public fallout of the dot-com crash, and what it took to rebuild her identity, confidence, and conviction - ultimately launching The RealReal at age 52.

This conversation is for the woman in midlife who feels “in between” chapters, whose confidence has dipped despite her accomplishments, and who’s ready to step into what’s next with more self-trust and courage.
