Happy Clients
"Before joining Kendra’s 5-Day ‘Plan Your Epic Reunion’ Challenge, I felt overwhelmed. I had a vision for our family reunion but had no idea where to start. The thought of organizing vendors, creating a schedule, and making sure everything flowed smoothly was daunting but Kendra made it so simple!
Each day of the challenge gave me the tools, templates, and strategies I needed to turn my ideas into a real plan in only 1 hour a day. "

It's true that we don't know what we don't know. Now, I feel confident and prepared to host my guests!"
