Welcome!
Hi, I’m Kendall. And an extra big hello to new subscribers - welcome! This substack is on culture, creativity, and consciousness to empower and inspire. Thank you for being here!
In this space, I will share my observations, thoughts, and ideas with you. I love to research and figure out why we are the way we are, why we do the things we do, and what we can do about everything and nothing simultaneously.
Working in entertainment in Los Angeles for over 17 years led me to the most logical next step: going back to graduate school in clinical psychology. Yes, you heard that right! Having been a movie producer, SVP of digital, talent manager, narrative podcast producer, and currently a consultant for creatives, the truth is I love learning, sharing, researching, and writing. I also like to educate and help people.
While I dabbled in anthropology as an undergraduate and have two Master's degrees in gender studies (MA) and one in screenwriting (MFA), I never felt like I finished. I guess that is why I am currently and ever-so-happily pursuing my PhD in psychology. I do believe this will be my final and best degree yet. It took me some time to come around to my passion because sometimes you just have to do and experience (or live and learn) before you sit back and speak.
As I process and contextualize new ideas and reflect on many old ones, I will be transparent and authentic with you and hopefully write some things that make you think about things a little differently or make you feel, should I say it, inspired and empowered!
Please let me know your thoughts on my thoughts so I can share my thoughts on your thoughts on my thoughts with you—because human connection is the key to our beautiful but brief existence. As I figure things out here, I will be offering more and doing more, especially for my paying subscribers. I want everyone to have a wonderful experience here and feel like this is a nice breather from your day.
Please subscribe if you haven’t already. Say hello and tell me where you’re from in the comments on Substack. Oh, and let me know any topic suggestions you’d like me to cover.
xx Kendall
