Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kendra
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to being brave enough to be vulnerable and personable with others. Sharing my own experiences and personal story has allowed me to connect with people in an authentic way and use those experiences to benefit others.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I have received came from my grandmother, who challenged me to recognize that if I did not change my attitude and my ways, I could end up alone. Her words encouraged me to make meaningful changes in my life, pursue education, and work toward a better path for myself.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would encourage young women to be honest with themselves, because authenticity is especially important when working within the mental health community. Be vulnerable, be brave, and understand that meaningful change requires a willingness to be part of the solution. If you are not committed to helping create positive change, do not waste time pursuing work that does not align with that purpose.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of my biggest challenges is growing the audience for MindfullyHer and encouraging more people to follow, download, and listen to the podcast across different platforms. Expanding its reach represents an important opportunity to connect with more people and continue creating conversations around mental health and wellness.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Advocating for the mental health community is extremely important to me. I believe in speaking openly and consistently about mental health and treating it with the same seriousness and attention that we give to other health conditions. I believe it is important to speak out and advocate for greater awareness, even when I am not personally affected by a particular issue.
