In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, Keni sits down with wellness expert, bestselling author, and health and lifestyle coach Andi Lew for an honest conversation about healing, resilience, and what it really means to feel well from the inside out. Andi opens up about rebuilding her life after moving from Australia to the United States with her young son, as well as the health challenges that transformed her approach to wellness, including toxic mold exposure and breast implant illness. She shares the reality of her recovery after removing her implants and how those experiences ultimately changed the way she sees health, aging, and her own body. Keni and Andi also explore the meaning of beauty beyond appearance, using the Japanese art of Kintsugi, the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold—as a powerful reminder that our scars and experiences can become part of what makes us beautiful.

When Keni asks what people truly come to Andi looking for, her answer is surprisingly simple: to love and be loved. At its heart, this episode is about becoming healthier without chasing perfection, redefining beauty through resilience, and realizing that wellness is about far more than how we look. ⭐ Loved This Episode?If this conversation moved you, challenged you, or gave you a new perspective:• Tap Follow or Subscribe so you never miss an episode• Leave a 5-star review — it helps this show reach more women who need these conversations• Share this episode with someone who needs permission to keep standing• Follow @KeniSilva_ and @InHeelswithKeniSilva on Instagram• Watch video clips and full episodes on @InHeelswithKeniSilva, Youtube, McCordlistTV, Roku • Learn more about Divorce As An Opportunity and Keni’s work at Kenisilva.com

In this episode of In Heels with Keni Silva, Keni sits down with Garry Lineham, co-founder of Human Garage, for a powerful conversation about chronic pain, self-healing, body awareness, and the personal journey that led him to help build a global wellness movement. After years of living with chronic pain and searching for answers, Garry began looking at the body differently—exploring the relationship between stress, movement, fascia, and the body’s natural ability to heal. That journey ultimately became part of the foundation for Human Garage and its Fascial Maneuvers, which have reached millions of people around the world. Together, Keni and Garry explore how physical and emotional stress can show up in the body, why listening to what your body is telling you matters, and how simple movements can create noticeable changes in the way you feel. Garry also takes Keni through several Fascial Maneuvers during the conversation—including an exercise that gives her immediate relief from neck pain and another designed to help quiet an overthinking mind—allowing viewers to see and experience the techniques alongside them. Beyond wellness, Garry shares the story behind building Human Garage, why he believes creating a movement is more powerful than building a personal brand, and how true leadership begins with becoming the example. This conversation isn’t just about understanding your body. It’s about experiencing what can happen when you slow down, pay attention, and begin taking an active role in the way you move, think, and feel. ⭐ Loved This Episode?If this conversation moved you, challenged you, or gave you a new perspective:• Tap Follow or Subscribe so you never miss an episode• Leave a 5-star review — it helps this show reach more women who need these conversations• Share this episode with someone who needs permission to keep standing• Follow @KeniSilva_ and @InHeelswithKeniSilva on Instagram• Watch video clips and full episodes on @InHeelswithKeniSilva, Youtube, McCordlistTV, Roku • Learn more about Divorce As An Opportunity and Keni’s work at Kenisilva.com
