Learning to see our purpose during this time is so important for those around us. During this time of quarantine, it can be uncomfortable and unfamiliar, causing fear. I wanted to bring a little encouragement to you today in hopes that the lessons I'm learning right now with The Word of God will help you too!

Taking deep breaths, meditating on The Word, even using my essential oils and oil diffuser has helped bring a calm to me. ;)

I've been in quarantine while being pregnant. However, I didn't know my life was already pretty much considered quarantine as a stay-at-home mom. Yes, there are a few adjustments we've had to make, like drive-thru food date nights and not going out to the movies.

Today on the podcast I am sharing some big news I've been keeping a secret! I am workin on starting a company with my best-friend and sister! We are set to launch in May but we're unsure if we can because of Covid-19.

So here is a little update on how my family and I have been doing over the past few weeks! Enjoy!

We are all on a journey of pursing emotional healing in some part of our lives from a traumatic situation. In this episode of Coffee with Kendra we're talking about pursing that emotional healing we need. I will share some of my own personal stories of how I have pursued emotional healing.

Enjoy part one and send me a DM or comment on instagram letting me know you listened and if it helped you.

Welcome to part 2! If you haven't yet, listen to part 1 first. This has been my most requested episode! I’m so excited to bring you 3 tips to choosing the right spouse.

I hope you enjoy it. If you want more episodes like this one, please DM me on instagram and let me know. @Mrs.Kendra.Sanchez

Last week I talked with you all about pursuing your dreams. That is my message I will shout from the roof tops. But this week, I want to talk to you about THE most important thing you will ever do. In fact, if you don’t do THIS you won’t be able to do the dream. Trust me, I’ve tried.

Girl… it’s time to pursue your dreams! This is your little pep-talk to encourage you to begin to pursue the dreams that God has placed on the inside of you. To be able to go after those dreams you need to make time and put in an effort to perfect a craft or a skill you have. My sister Krys is passionate about baking and she recently has started to make time to perfect her craft of baking. She is working on a skill to pursue her dream of becoming a baker. I applaud her for that, and I want to encourage you to do the same thing. What is the dream that God has placed on the inside of your heart that you have yet to begin to pursue? Let me know. Send me an email (if you’re on my email list, hit that reply button) I wanna hear! I want to be your biggest cheerleader! Because girl, I am pursuing some big dreams of mine right now and I am so fulfilled! I want you to feel the same way. So bake a cake. Take that lesson. Go back to school. Whatever it is, take that next step and begin to pursue the dreams that God has placed on the inside of you.

When you go through something traumatic, naturally you try to avoid putting yourself in a situation to ever experience that trauma again. This was the case for me when it came to being pregnant. I experienced an unusually traumatic birthing experience when I had to deliver my son at 31 weeks. It was so unexpected and so sudden, dealt with the effects of the trauma for over a year later.

But as you can tell from the title of this video, my husband and I are expecting our second child in July of 2020. In this video I share a little bit of my birthing experience with my first son and how we came to want to have another child and go through another possible traumatic pregnancy.

As I share in this episode, I developed what is called HELLP syndrome during pregnancy. HELLP syndrome is a life-threatening pregnancy complication usually considered to be a variant of preeclampsia, according to the Preeclampsia Foundation (2019).

I hope this episode bring encouragement to any women who have gone through something similar or anyone who has gone through something traumatic in their lives and who deals with fear because of it. I know what it is life to be engulfed with fear and not wanting to live life to the fullest because of that fear. I hope my story gives you hope and inspires you to try again. To live your life to the fullest and not let fear keep you bound in the past.

Growing up I wasn’t a typical teenager. I desired to please God and live for him more than I desired to be popular and go hang out with friends. While this started out to be a good thing, it became a horrible trap. I explain all this in this episode of Coffee with Kendra. ALSO! I announce the winner of my recent giveaway!
