Jené Luciani Sena has spent 25 years as "The Bra Expert," but her journey reveals something far more complex than sizing charts and underwire. From covering 9/11 as a news reporter to accidentally discovering her life's calling through a magazine assignment, she's learned that it's never really about the bra. It's about the deeper stories women carry but rarely voice.
In this raw conversation, Jené opens up about the pressure to fit into one professional box, the reality of perimenopause symptoms that doctors dismiss, and her recent epiphany that success doesn't require working yourself to the bone. She shares how women literally lift their shirts in public to show her their struggles, and why she believes the key to thriving is embracing all the versions of yourself, even when you reinvent yourself 20 times in a single day.
