Within a short period of time, Kendyl went from being Miss Utah USA to a mother of a severely special needs child. Her life did a 180 from her being in the spotlight onstage to focusing all of her energy to help her child function 24 hours a day. The transition was huge.

In the middle of changing routines and ultimately her lifestyle caring for her child, Kendyl found joy and meaning through her transitions. Although change can be difficult and different, it can also bring so much joy.
