Kendra shares 3 heartfelt tips for women on how to speak life and seek purpose:
1. "Stop focusing on where you've been and where you are and start focusing on where you're going. A lot of women like myself have been through trying times in the past or have done some shameful things that sometimes can hinder our faith in moving forward or believing we are worthy of better. I had to change my mindset. It took being flat out tired of my way of doing things, realizing that my actions and the way I was thinking was not working for me. I had to sit down and go over my life and ask myself, "How can I make my pain work for me?" It was then after prayer and deep seeking that I experienced my ahhh haaaa moment. I realized that my purpose was to empower the broken and had I not been broken to the core I would not have the strength or passion I have now to do what I do.”
2. "Stop throwing a pity party, we all have a story to tell from the beginning but how it ends is up to you. You can either sit in your misery and wither away or you can take your misery and use it as a mission to create happiness and a better life for yourself.”
3. "Don't talk about it! Write about it! Take your story and put it in book form to be a light to women across the world. I help those with powerful stories in their bellies give birth to something that will not only bring them healing and freedom but impact the masses with their stories.
