I’m sharing the three things I’m working on for the last 90 days of the year—my health, my business, and apparently my ability to knit an entire sweater. 😂🧶Do I know how to do that last one? Absolutely not.Goal Setting Journaling Prompts:1. Does this goal come from desire or demand? What would make me delighted to pursue it?2. Would I still want to do this if nobody was impressed?3. Will pursuing this goal require me to abandon myself—or become more myself?4. Can I find enchantment in the process? What could make pursuing this feel beautiful, interesting, playful, meaningful, or fun?Connect with Kendall's Health Coach here: On Instagram: @JeniCoppage.livewellEmail:[email protected] Sweater by Petite Knit: https://www.petiteknit.com/en/products/frankie-sweaterYou can reach Kendall here: [email protected]/IG: @KendallSnyderCoachingPodcast Art: @ShieldsMediaStrategiesPodcast Editor: @CamdynscameraMusic: Pixabay

THE MATRIARCH LOVES HER WORK AND HER BUSINESSWhat if marketing and selling aren’t the annoying parts of business you have to tolerate—but skills you can actually learn to love?In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe one of the secrets to a profitable, sustainable business is learning to love the skills that allow you to keep serving. We’re talking marketing as adding value, selling as service, profit as stewardship, and why the Matriarch gets good at what her vision requires.Journaling PromptsWhat part of running my business have I decided I shouldn’t have to learn?What thoughts do I currently have about marketing and selling? How are those thoughts affecting the way I show up?What if becoming good at this is part of stewarding what I’m building?What would change if I decided to learn to love marketing and selling instead of resisting them?What skills does the business—and life—I’m building require me to develop?Where am I waiting to feel confident before I’m willing to practice?What would marketing look like if I believed it was simply adding value?What would selling look like if I believed it was an invitation to deeper transformation?Where am I getting graspy about an outcome instead of staying in service?What is one skill my vision requires that I’m willing to practice getting better at right now?The Matriarch gets good at what her vision requires.Want to find out more about 1:1 coaching with Kendall?

EPISODE 100!!! 🎉❤️🩷And with it…a brand new chapter.The Journaling Room Podcast is becoming The Matriarch Mindset Podcast.Journaling isn’t going anywhere. Neither is the faith, the thought work, the emotions, the practical tools or the conversations we’ve had here for the last 99 episodes.But the vision has gotten bigger.Because I want to talk about what it looks like to become a woman who leads herself well—her thoughts, her emotions, her decisions, her relationships, her work and the life God has given her to steward.A woman who knows who she is. Who takes the next faithful step. Who steadies the room instead of being swept up by it. Who is intentionally building a life and legacy.That’s the Matriarch Mindset.And episode 100 is where we begin. 🎙️Welcome to The Matriarch Mindset Podcast. ❤️🩷

Episode 98 feels a little different. ❤️We’re just TWO episodes away from 100—and before we get there, I wanted to look back at what The Journaling Room has taught me.About showing up before you feel ready. About letting something grow and change. About listening when God starts nudging you toward what’s next.Because sometimes the thing you started was never meant to stay exactly the same.Sometimes it did exactly what it was supposed to do: it brought you here.And trust me…you’re going to want to stick around for 99 and 100. 👀❤️🩷Grab a coffee chat with Kendall here: https://calendly.com/kendall-kendallsnydercoaching/coffee-chat-with-kendallYou can reach Kendall here: [email protected]/IG: @KendallSnyderCoachingPodcast Art: @ShieldsMediaStrategiesPodcast Editor: @camdynscameraMusic: Pixabay

We all have things we know we should do... but just don't feel like doing.In this episode of The Journaling Room, I'm sharing the five simple thoughts I come back to whenever resistance shows up. These aren't motivational slogans—they're truths that help me renew my mind, keep promises to myself, and take the next faithful step, even when it feels uncomfortable. Grab your journal as we explore practical mindset shifts, biblical encouragement, and a few phrases that just might change the way you approach hard things. 🤍Journaling Prompts from the EpisodeWhat dream have you been expecting to feel easier than it actually does?What if this discomfort isn't evidence you're off course—but evidence you're growing?What's one promise you've made yourself that deserves your attention today?Not tomorrow. Today.Which feeling have you been trying hardest to avoid?What would happen if you simply allowed it to exist while continuing forward?What feels dangerous today that might actually just be new?Is your brain trying to protect you from danger…or just from something unfamiliar?What would the matriarch version of you do in the next hour?Write it down. Then go do that.Grab a coffee chat with Kendall here: https://calendly.com/kendall-kendallsnydercoaching/coffee-chat-with-kendallYou can reach Kendall here: [email protected]/IG: @KendallSnyderCoachingPodcast Art: @ShieldsMediaStrategiesMusic: Pixabay

This week in The Journaling Room, I sit down with my dear friend, coach and mentor, Angela Jowers, for a conversation that is equal parts wisdom, laughter, coaching, and truth.We talk about Angela's unexpected journey into coaching, what happened when she hit a complete crash physically, emotionally, and financially, and how God led her into a calling she never saw coming.We explore what it means to create with God while releasing attachment to outcomes, why journaling can reveal thoughts you didn't even know you were thinking, and the role honesty plays in transformation.And toward the end? Angela shares a perspective on dishonesty that stopped me in my tracks. Not the obvious kind—but the subtle ways we hide our true feelings, say we're "fine" when we're not, and lose connection with ourselves in the process.This conversation will stay with me for a long time. Grab your journal and join us. 🤍Isn’t Angela darlin'?

Welcome back to The Journaling Room. I'm Kendall — and we made it. This is Episode 3, the final episode of our marriage series, and I have to say — I am so proud of you for staying with this.We have covered a lot of ground together. In Episode 1, We Chose to Stay, I told you my own story — the year our marriage almost ended, what didn't help, what finally did, and why I believe with everything in me that your marriage is worth fighting for.In Episode 2, Fire Yourself From the Job, we talked about the one thing you actually have control over in your marriage — and it isn't your husband. It's your thoughts. It's how you show up. It's choosing, every single day, to operate from your true self instead of your fear.And today — today we get practical.Because here's what I know about lasting change: it doesn't usually start with a dramatic overhaul. It starts with something small. Something so small it almost feels too simple to matter. And then you do it again the next day. And the day after that. And slowly, quietly, something begins to shift.This is Episode 3: Small Is Where It Starts.JOURNALING PROMPTSOf the three small actions — the smile, the text, the question — which one feels most available to me right now? What is one specific way I will practice it this week?What has this marriage series stirred up in me? What feeling has been sitting just underneath the surface that I haven't fully acknowledged yet?When I picture my marriage five years from now — ten years from now — what do I want it to look like? What would need to be true for that vision to become real?What is one legacy I want my marriage to leave for my children or grandchildren? What am I already doing that reflects that legacy? What needs to change?What is the one thought about my husband I want to practice this week — not because he's earned it, but because I'm choosing it?Where have I been waiting for the big breakthrough instead of honoring the small moment? What small moment is available to me today?If the woman I am becoming — my truest, most grounded self — looked at my marriage today, what would she say? What would she do first?For Summer Coaching Details: Grab a coffee chat spot with Kendall! In 20 minutes, I'll share all the details with you!

If you've been around for a while, you know this is a space where we get honest. We don't do surface level here. We talk about what's actually happening in our hearts — and today, that means we're going somewhere that feels a little tender for a lot of us.We are kicking off a brand-new three-part series on marriage.And I want to start by telling you something important: this series is not for perfect marriages. It's not for people who have it all figured out. This series is for the real ones — the messy ones, the quiet-and-disconnected ones, the ones where you've wondered if you made the right choice, where you've felt more like roommates than partners, or where you've done real damage and aren't sure if there's a way back.This series is for you.Journaling Prompts:What is one word that honestly describes how I feel about my marriage right now? What thought is creating that feeling?Where have I been waiting for my spouse to change, instead of looking at what I can change in myself?What would it mean for me if I truly believed my marriage was worth fighting for? What would I do differently tomorrow?Have I been evading my real feelings — saying the right things, performing okayness — without actually processing what's going on inside me?When I picture the legacy I want to leave for my children or grandchildren, what role does my marriage play in that picture?Is there one moment in my marriage — even a small one — where I felt genuine connection? What was happening in that moment?What is one thing I am grateful for about my spouse today, even if it feels hard to find?For Summer Coaching Details: Grab a coffee chat spot with Kendall!

Today’s episode feels especially tender and meaningful because I’m sitting down with my daughter Claire Shields to talk about becoming a new mom.And honestly… I don’t think we talk enough about the inner transformation that happens in motherhood.Not just the diapers and sleep deprivation — but the becoming. The stretching. The refining. The joy and hard that can coexist at the same time.I think so many women listening will see themselves in parts of this conversation whether you’re currently raising babies, have grown children, are longing to become a mother, or are simply in a season where God is reshaping you through caregiving and responsibility.Links mentioned:Keekaroo Baby Changing Pad - https://a.co/d/08TWNgM6Doona Infant Seat/Stroller - https://a.co/d/05rrtNXgLou Lou and Company Baby and Mama Clothes - https://www.loulouandcompany.comYou can reach Kendall here: [email protected]/IG: @KendallSnyderCoachingPodcast Art: @ShieldsMediaStrategiesMusic: Pixabay
