KENDRA DAVIES: Empowering lives through Positive Psychology
In the beautiful city of Orlando, Florida, Kendra Davies, a certified Applied Positive Psychology Practitioner and Life Coach, embarked on a journey that would shape the lives of countless individuals. Kendra’s path was anything but linear, often changing and evolving as she discovered new passions and ambitions. “All I knew then,” she recalls, “was that I wanted to travel, help others, and speak. Becoming a therapist seemed like the best option.”
As Kendra’s journey unfolded, she found herself on the path of becoming a therapist. However, fate had different plans. A friend’s visit introduced her to the concept of life coaching, a revelation that would ignite a shift in her aspirations. Intrigued by the idea and inspired by Oprah’s endorsement, Kendra delved into research and swiftly decided to pursue life coaching. Little did she know that this encounter would pave the way for her remarkable career in empowering others through positive psychology coaching.
In 2013, just a month after obtaining her certification, Kendra laid the foundation for Stellar Life Coaching. Her mission was clear: to transform how we live, love, and do business using the powerful science of positive psychology. Leveraging her BA in Organizational Behavior and seventeen years of corporate experience, Kendra set out to redefine the lives of individuals seeking positive transformation.
Kendra’s unique approach, rooted in positive psychology principles, resonated with clients far and wide. Through her empathetic listening skills, powerful coaching techniques, and genuine desire to serve, she has empowered countless individuals to embrace their authentic selves, prioritize joy, and take radical responsibility for their lives. Grounded in the science of positive psychology, Stellar Life Coaching breaks happiness into foundational components, allowing clients to define and cultivate their own extraordinary lives.
With over 20 years of research and validated cognitive skills, Kendra guides individuals to overcome limiting beliefs and design a future of purpose and fulfillment. Her transformative coaching program, “Evolve,” helps individuals manage stress, cultivate positivity, build resilience, and confront limiting beliefs. This immersive starter kit for personal and professional development provides practical guidance on navigating and overcoming personal obstacles.
In addition to her coaching services, Kendra leads and hosts “The Phoenix Retreat,” a luxurious women’s retreat where participants create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. Whether through in-person or online sessions, Stellar Life Coaching empowers individuals and organizations to embrace positive psychology and unlock their fullest potential.
Kendra’s coaching practice reflects her authentic alignment with positive psychology principles. By practicing what she preaches, she brings a profound impact to both herself and her clients. Addressing the common pain point of feeling stuck and disconnected, she focuses on daily positive rituals and breaking free from limiting mindsets and beliefs.
One misconception about positive psychology is that it promotes false positivity. However, Kendra clarifies, “It’s about accepting the full range of our emotional experiences. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of joy and pain, vulnerability and love.” With a deep understanding of how our brains process information and how the body stores that information, Kendra helps clients navigate negative experiences while intentionally cultivating positivity through practices like affirmations, bodywork, breathwork, and gratitude rituals.
Kendra advises those feeling stuck to seek coaching and professional support, gaining an outside perspective that offers guidance and clarity. She stresses the importance of taking imperfect action, challenging the notion that conditions must be perfect to start. Embracing imperfection, she encourages small steps towards goals, honoring the thoughts and ideas already present. Perfectionism hinders progress, while action brings momentum and alignment. By turning thoughts into action, positive change and personal growth are unlocked. “Trust your intuition, take imperfect action, and begin the transformative journey of honoring your own path,” she advises.
Beyond her coaching practice, Kendra has been a consultant, coach, and advisor to Fortune 100 businesses and leaders for more than 15 years. She has been featured in Forbes, Thrive Global, and Authority Magazine, and is swiftly becoming one of the leading life and executive coaches in the US. When Kendra is not in the pursuit of healing and serving others, she lives her best life on the Latin ballroom dance floor and is a dedicated mother to her ten-year-old son, Ryan Jackson.
Kendra Davies stands as a beacon of empowerment, applying the principles of positive psychology with authenticity and compassion. Through her work, she guides individuals toward transformation, supporting them in designing extraordinary lives filled with purpose, resilience, and genuine happiness.
