Living her dream
Despite her many successes prior to launching the show, Keni Silva feels speaking with others about life is her true purpose. "I'm following my dream," she says. "It was my dream to have a talk show. I created it and the universe sent me all the right people to put it together. I want to win a Golden Globe. I want to win an Emmy. I want to do so many things. But this is really my dream. I'm living my dream. That's all I'm doing, besides spreading that message. It's all possible in this world."
The hardest interview yet
Since Keni Silva launched the series, she's hosted numerous experts, celebrities and friends. However, there was one sit-down that was the hardest. "I decided I was going to interview my daughter [Alexis Silva] first. I thought it was going to be easier!" she says. "It was the hardest because when you interview a guest, you're asking them all these questions. But with her, she went through an adrenal tumor, and a lot of people know her story. But I wanted people to know her on a different level as a teenager. There's so many emotions. I actually wanted her opinion on being a child who went through a divorce. But she couldn't do it. She's like, 'Mom, I can't, I don't think I can talk about it.' I didn't realize that it is still a triggering thing for her. It opened my eyes to how many little things that even I think I know, but I don't."
Finding love after divorce
Keni Silva, who wrote a how-to book on life post-divorce, feels the key to finding romance again is putting yourself first. "The love for yourself has to be more than the love for anybody else," she advises. "I have children, so it's very different because I already know what unconditional love is. That's love you feel for your child — that no matter what they do, you love them. But now I'm learning that I can have the same love for myself, and that's the most beautiful thing because then you are not depending on if you are in a relationship or not."
The show's reception
"I was in Paris [for fashion week] and almost at every show, somebody would come up to me and be like, 'Oh my God, you are so inspiring!'" Keni Silva says of the feedback she's received. "I cried every single time because there's people from Italy or different places in Europe. It's been really amazing."
