Lorena Bernal: Authenticity Over Perfection
from Empowering Leaders Hosted by Aleda
In this episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke sits down with Lorena Bernal—a celebrated actress, model, and entrepreneur whose life and work are rooted in elegance, intention, and inner strength. With a career that spans global television hits like CSI: Miami, NCIS, and Chuck, as well as appearances on the covers of Elle, Marie Claire, and more, Lorena is no stranger to the spotlight. But it’s her off-screen journey that reveals a deeper, more inspiring story. Today, as the founder of Live Love Better, Lorena is redefining what it means to live with purpose—focusing on self-growth, mindfulness, and empowering women around the world to lead connected, intentional lives. Born in Argentina, raised in Spain, and educated in France, Lorena brings a global perspective to leadership, authenticity, and resilience. A proud mother of three boys and wife to Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta, she speaks candidly with Luke about the evolution of motherhood, the balance between personal and professional life, and the courage it takes to be true to yourself in every chapter of life. Throughout this heartfelt conversation, Lorena shares why perfection is the enemy of authenticity, the vision behind Live Love Better, and how mindfulness shaped her parenting and leadership style. This episode is filled with wisdom, warmth, and real-life insight from a woman who lives what she leads. Watch this episode on 7Plus in Australia.
