Kendra is one of the most empathetic, loving, real-talking people I've ever known. Much MORE than a coach, she's an alchemist of emotions; and meets you where you are. Every time we're together, I feel seen, understood, safe, loved, profoundly empowered, and inspired to action. She's simply your biggest cheerleader, whether you feel like you're stumbling or winning. She has helped me transform my life, relationship to self, and others, all while making me laugh until I cry and then cry until I laugh. Having her in my life is easily the biggest blessing I've ever received. 20 out of 5 stars. read more

Although, I have not received life coaching from Stellar Life Coaching, I just listened today to Kendra Davies who was a speaker at the opening ceremony at the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC) conference held in Amelia Island, Florida. Kendra, is a positive psychology coach. When she said that, I though... what is positive psychology? According to Wiki: "Positive psychology is the study of the "good life", or the positive aspects of the human experience that make life worth living. As an art, it focuses on both individual and societal well-being. It is a reaction against psychoanalysis and behaviorism, which have focused on "mental illness", meanwhile emphasising maladaptive behavior and negative thinking. It builds further on the humanistic movement, which encouraged an emphasis on happiness, well-being, and positivity, thus creating the foundation for what is now known as positive psychology. Positive psychologists have suggested a number of ways in which individual happiness may be fostered. Social ties with a spouse, family, friends and wider networks through work, clubs or social organisations are of particular importance, while physical exercise and the practice of meditation may also contribute to happiness. Happiness may rise with increasing financial income, though it may plateau or even fall when no further gains are made." At first I thought... oh no! This isn't going to be some touchy feely bs! But, I listened. Now granted a major part why I listened in the beginning is because she is a vivacious, quirky and hilarious speaker. Her humor and personality kinda remind me of Kathy Griffin...but I digress... the important part was that I listened and it really touched me. Kendra explained how we focus on the negative in our life and we close ourselves off to what's positive. She talked about living life in "no". She talked about herself, her life, her experiences, her failures. She explained how she said no to joy, no to happiness, how she didn't want to try harder. I looked at her and I was so impressed with her courage to say all these things. She talked about how she changed her life by opening herself up to life's possibilities and embracing yes! She said she changed everything by saying yes to things. You want to try yoga? Yes! Want to go to the movies? Yes! She opened up herself to life's possibilities and seized opportunities presented to her and changed her entire life around. Inspiring! I remembered that I was very unhappy for years. I made it a little better by becoming part of the yelp community, and going out there. I had fun! Tons of events and parties and found some cool people and one truly great friend. Still I was depressed, my career wasn't where I wanted it to be, I didn't feel appreciated at work... didn't get paid enough for everything I was doing and my work situation was getting steadily worse... socially I wasn't appreciated much either by many. When I got recruited to come work for the company I am currently with back in November, my friend Apple told me to go for it. Yes, it meant leaving everything I knew and moving from Miami to a small town in Ohio... but I decided to take a risk. I remember her telling me that we are responsible for our own happiness. She was right! I owe her big! I am much happier now and i am working on that. Kendra explained that we internalize and create these stories on ourselves and we believe we don't deserve to be happy, that we are boring, that we aren't good enough for love, a better career, etc. I felt all these things. Listening to her affirmed my decision and also made me realize this is a constant choice. I need to always embrace life! Other tidbits of knowledge she shared were interesting: 1) gossip is when you don't have the courage to tell the truth... so true! 2) if you feel guilty for focusing on you and loving you, you need to peel back a layer and find out why. If it's external, are people judging you for focusing on you? If that is the case you need to have a conversation with them. Buddhist philosophy teaches us there is no us without you. This second point also spoke to me. When I making this decision to leave... I felt guilty... guilty for leaving people behind.... especially a few friends. I came to realize that I needed to focus on myself... because these people who I worried about leaving behind, didn't appreciate me as I saw when my decision was made and they reacted to negatively about it. A lesson learned. So many other parts of her talk made me think... from Kendra talking about the night before spending those two hours at the beach, to taking and how to do moment meditations. I am glad I attended... I needed to hear what she had to say. If she could affect me that much in an hour, I can't imagine what it would be like to regularly hear her counsel. read more

WOW, Kendra changes lives. She helps you become the person you want to be. She truly cares about her clients and is passionate about her work. Her magic includes seeing connections and patterns that most people can't see and delivering hard truths with kindness and compassion. I've been working with Kendra for almost a year and it has been life-changing. I went on her Costa Rica Retreat and it surpassed all my expectations. I was hesitant to go on a group retreat with a bunch of unknown women. I was concerned about logistics, safety, where we would stay, what food would we eat, and the women I would be sharing space and personal details with. But I took a leap and signed up. Guess what, NONE of those worries were reality. - The place we stayed at was beautiful! - The women were amazing and the best part of the trip. I hope to know them forever. - Safety - Hardy, who looked after us, is an amazing soul. - Food - Delicious and healthy - The work was challenging, which is what I wanted, and the experience was life-changing. If you are looking for a change or to become a better version of yourself, Just Go! read more

Kendra has been life changing for me over past 2 years. I have done one on one coaching, a women's retreat to Costa Rica, variety of workshops and group classes for my team at work. All are AMAZING!!!!! The Phoenix retreat was the most incredible experiences ever. Freed my mind and opened my heart!!!!! Something hard to describe and impossible to forget... including forever friends and memories. Kendra has this "real and relatable" way about her. So easy to talk to and the way she breaks stuff down to you is makes it easy to process and recognize therefore makes everyday small changes possible. The small daily / weekly changes add up to life long ones during one on one sessions. Understanding my personal boundaries and values has helped me so much. She is always available and approachable and honestly has best memory ever!!!! I've gone thru some difficulty stuff with her and she is always caring and compassionate. But helps me see the patterns I am doing and how to correct them. I appreciate her follow up and even calls at crazy times of day because I needed it. Her commitment to helping you is 100%!!!!!! read more

While I feel like I am only part way through my journey with Kendra, I have been so incredibly pleased with the positive impact our work has had on my life already! I cannot WAIT until I can attend her next retreat as I know that it will add a whole new level to this endeavor. She is incredibly active in and skilled at shining a light in the direction I need to move.
