In this episode, Kendra and her long-time coach, Alec Moore, delve into the complexities of health and nutrition, particularly in the context of motherhood and postpartum experiences. They discuss the importance of sustainability over strict discipline, emphasizing that health is a lifelong journey rather than a short-term goal. Alec shares his philosophy of personalized coaching, which focuses on meeting clients where they are in their health journey, rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all program. The conversation highlights the emotional and physical challenges faced by mothers, especially during postpartum recovery, and the need for proper support and nourishment during this critical time.

Kendra recounts her personal experiences with surrogacy, pregnancy, and the pressures of body image, illustrating the emotional rollercoaster that many women face.

Divorce doesn’t happen in a vacuum — it collides with parenting, grief, exhaustion, and the pressure to keep functioning when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

In this episode of All God’s Grace, we sit in the middle of real life.
Not the “everything worked out” version — the middle.

My guest shares her experience navigating divorce while raising children and grieving the loss of her father, and we talk honestly about what it looks like to survive seasons where there is no clean resolution, only daily choices.

We discuss:

• What divorce really feels like when kids are involved
• How grief and loss compound major life transitions
• Compartmentalizing to survive — and when it helps vs. hurts
• Letting go of guilt, shame, and the need to explain yourself
• Finding grace when you don’t feel strong, faithful, or put together

This episode isn’t about taking sides or fixing anything.
It’s about holding space, telling the truth, and choosing to keep moving forward — one day at a time.

If you’re walking through divorce, supporting someone who is, or navigating a season of loss and transition, this conversation is for you.

🎧 Listen with grace. Take what serves you.

Life is loud. Schedules are insane. Someone was crying — and honestly, it might’ve been me.

In this first episode of All God’s Grace, I’m sitting down with five incredible women for a conversation that feels exactly like real life: a little chaotic, deeply honest, and full of grace.

I started this podcast because I don’t like being alone — and yet I kept finding myself there. This show is my way back to connection, and hopefully yours too.

In this episode, we talk about the habits that have shaped us — the ones that moved us closer to who we want to be, and the ones that quietly pulled us away. From showing up imperfectly, to letting go of comparison, to learning when to rest and when to walk away, this conversation is about becoming better humans one small step at a time.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you’re holding everything together by grace alone — you’re in the right place.

I’m here. I’m showing up. And grace is more than enough.

Behind the scenes of All God’s Grace.

This episode wasn’t planned — and honestly, I almost didn’t share it.

I wanted to pull back the curtain and talk honestly about why this podcast exists, the imposter syndrome I wrestled with, and how God kept nudging me to be louder with my faith — even when I didn’t feel qualified.

This isn’t polished. It’s real.

All God’s Grace is a podcast about faith without filters — real conversations about grace, doubt, healing, mistakes, and what it actually looks like to walk with God in real life.

If you’ve ever felt like:
– You don’t look like a “God person”
– Your past disqualifies you
– You’re still figuring it out

You’re not alone — and you’re in the right place.
