We're not waiting for clarity.

We're waiting for courage.

And courage often looks like making a decision before you feel ready.

That's what the matriarch does.

She doesn't wait until all fear is gone.

She doesn't wait until every variable is known.

She doesn't wait until she has guarantees.

She gathers wisdom.

She seeks counsel.

She prays.

She reflects.

And then she decides.

Because she understands that her life is too precious to spend it endlessly circling.

The matriarch would rather make a decision and learn than stay stuck and wonder.

She would rather move and adjust than remain frozen.

She would rather trust God on the path than sit safely at the trailhead.

And that's my invitation to you today.

Stop asking yourself what would make you feel certain.

Start asking yourself:

What is the next faithful step?

And then take it.

Because that is what the matriarch does.

The matriarch is emotionally mature.

Not emotionally perfect.

Not emotionally flat.

Not emotionally unbothered.

Emotionally mature.

And that's very different.

The matriarch is not the woman who feels less. She is the woman who has learned how to feel.

The matriarch understands that one of the greatest leadership tools she possesses is her thinking.

Because her thoughts eventually become her words.

Her words become her actions.

Her actions become her habits.

Her habits become her legacy.

Who is the Matriarch?

The matriarch is not the woman who controls the room.

She is the woman who takes responsibility for the influence she carries in the room.

She is not necessarily the oldest woman.

She is not necessarily married.

She is not necessarily a mother.

The matriarch is a woman who understands that her life has ripple effects, and she intentionally uses her influence to cultivate wisdom, connection, growth, faith, and legacy in the people and places she touches.

As you begin this series, spend some time reflecting on what the word matriarch means to you.

Today, I simply want to tell you my story.

I want to tell you why I became a coach.

Why I invest in coaching.

Why I continue to get coached.

And why I believe so deeply in the work I now get to do with women every single week.

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. 🤍

This week, my friend and fellow Master Certified Coach Megan Cheatham joined me in the Journaling Room and we pulled back the curtain on what it actually feels like to be coached — and to be the coach.

Some of our favorite one-liners from the episode:

💬 "Turns out, everything your brain offers you isn't always true. Such a lightbulb for me." — Kendall

💬 "You can go to counseling because you think you should — but you come to a coach because you want to change." — Megan

💬 "The quest to make the other person change left me so weary — and it was such an abandonment of myself." — Kendall

💬 "A coach sits at the edge of the pool. She won't get in — but she's not going anywhere either." — Megan

💬 "Coaching showed me I had so many more blind spots than I even knew I had." — Kendall

💬 "There's a little sharp pain in seeing your own responsibility — but it's redemptive. There's a way forward." — Megan

💬 "He will never allow my vulnerability to put me to shame — if I'm willing to stay in it long enough." — Kendall

💬 "Your transformation is transforming them." — Megan

This episode is for the woman curious about coaching, the coach who still needs to be coached, and anyone ready to stop telling the same old story. That's all of us, friend. 🎙See you in The Journaling Room.

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 PROMPTS

1. Of 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?
2. 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?
3. 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?
4. 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?
5. 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?
6. Where have I been waiting for the big breakthrough instead of honoring the small moment? What small moment is available to me today?
7. 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?

In Episode 1 of the Marriage Series — We Chose to Stay — I shared something really personal. I told you about 2007, about how close Nate and I came to the end, about what didn't work and what finally did. And I told you that your marriage is worth fighting for.

If you haven't listened to that episode yet, go back and start there. This series builds on itself, and I don't want you to miss it.

But today — today we're going to talk about the part that nobody really wants to hear. The part that is also, I promise you, the most freeing thing I have ever learned about marriage.

Here it is: You cannot change your husband. You never could. And the sooner you fire yourself from that job, the sooner your marriage actually has a chance.

This is Episode 2: Fire Yourself From the Job.

JOURNALING PROMPTS

1. What is one thought I have about my husband on a regular basis? Is it a fact or an interpretation? What might be another way to see it?
2. Where have I been trying to change, manage, or fix my husband? What has that behavior actually cost me — and our marriage?
3. What does it mean to be 100% responsible for how I show up — not as a burden, but as an act of freedom? What would that look like for me this week?
4. Where am I operating from my false self in my marriage? What fear is underneath that behavior?
5. What would my true self — grounded, secure, loved by God — do differently in my marriage today?
6. What is one thought I could practice this week that would help me feel more connected to my husband — not because he changed, but because I chose it?
7. If I fully believed that how I show up is within my control, what is one thing I would do differently starting tomorrow?
