Apple Podcasts5Finding the TuneUnited States3 years ago - An inspirational, relatable, grounding voice
Stepping off now has become a routine listen for me as a creative freelancer. Kendra’s perspective is often just what I need exactly when I need it to keep going. She’s encouraging, thoughtful and gives voice to many of the issues creatives face: how to take feedback, reclaiming “being sensitive” as a positive trait, how to stay motivated in creative practice. Great for HSPs and INFPs.
