Kendra Stewart 💋
Kendra Said What?! Where healing, research, real life, and frequent nonsense collide. I’m Kendra Stewart—LCSW, PhD Candidate, therapist, researcher, and someone who has a lot of questions about why we are the way we are. Around here, we talk about trauma, nervous systems, mental health, culture, personal growth, burnout, relationships, healing, purpose, and everything in between. One episode might unpack the science of stress. The next might be a life lesson I learned the hard way. And another might be me passionately discussing something nobody asked me about. This is a space for people who are growing, healing, questioning, evolving, and learning how to become more themselves. No perfection. No pretending. No performance. Just honest conversations about what it means to be human. Welcome to Kendra Said What?! Helping people move from Survival → Self 🎙️ Identity 🧠 Regulation 🔥 Reinvention
