About this listen

Lena Fein was raised in madness by a violent and controlling mother, obsessed with household cleanliness and the beauty of her porcelain dolls. To survive, she perfected the art of dissociation, racing through school with straight A's, becoming a top producer at a high-tech company, and clicking through two marriages without ever slowing down long enough to fully experience life. At fifty-one, she looks into the eyes of her dying mother, and her warped mirror finally shatters. She begins to experience life in a new way. She learns to feel and forgive, shedding her armor and embracing life. Her story is a testament that healing is possible at any age — and that wholeness is priceless. Lena is an UC Berkeley engineering graduate and a philanthropist based in San Francisco.
