In this conversation, Kena sits down with criminal lawyer Jordana Goldlist who shares her personal journey from a troubled youth to addiction and eventual recovery. She discusses the challenges she faced, including being placed in residential treatment and struggling with relapse. Jordana explains how she eventually found her passion for criminal law and the importance of treating clients as individuals rather than just their charges. She also explores the concept of 'Who Judges the Judge' and the need to question those in positions of power. Throughout her story, Jordana Goldlist shares her journey of following her gut instinct, listening to her inner voice and making decisions based on her intuition. Jordana believes that finding one's life purpose involves constantly pushing past our comfort zones and always striving for more, because we are capable of so much.

In this episode, Kena explores the topic of fear and its impact on our lives. She discusses how fear can hold us back from pursuing our dreams and creating the life we want. Kena identifies common fears, such as the fear of what people will think, financial fears, and the fear of failure. She emphasizes the importance of understanding fear and facing it head-on. Kena introduces a fear-facing practice to help listeners examine their fears and explore solutions to overcome them.

Here are the questions she asks you to consider:

1. What exactly am I afraid of? Write down the specifics in list form.

2. Review each item on the list and ask yourself, how probable is this result?

3. Then zoom in further - if any of these things were to actually happen (regardless of the probability), what would I do?

4. What could be on the other side of my fear?

5. How will I feel at the end of my life if I allow fear to stop me now?
