    Ep. 44 | Are You Really Living for You?

    Summary: Kendrick argues that most people are overstimulated and are living by a script they were handed in school, at home, through media and through religion. His message is to stop and ask, "Are you really living for you?" Action Items: Before checking your phone in the morning, try stretching, jumping jacks, or push-ups. Set aside time to write by hand, journal, sketch, or read a print book without notifications. Write down your own definition of who you want to be before building a shared vision with your family. Break ambitious activities into manageable daily increments, such as doing 30 minutes when an hour is not realistic. When you feel distressed, pause and ask whether the situation deserves your time and energy right now.

    Ep. 41 | How A Grieving Mom Turned Pain Into Purpose

    On this episode of Talks with Ken, Kendrick welcomes Amanda Meyer for an honest conversation about building a purposeful life through change, resilience, and self-discovery. Amanda has worn many hats: educator, entrepreneur, fitness competitor, co-author, mother, and mental health advocate. She shares how her experiences—both joyful and painful—helped shape the person she is today. Though teaching had been her dream, the realities of bureaucracy, difficult working conditions, and financial pressure left her feeling burned out. A friend introduced her to a travel-based business opportunity, which became her first experience with entrepreneurship. Amanda explains how personal development, mentorship, and taking small, consistent steps helped her build residual income and eventually leave a work environment that was no longer serving her.The conversation explores what it means to redefine success. She also stresses that self-care is not selfish: parents and caregivers need to care for themselves in order to support the people they love.The most personal part of the episode is Amanda’s story of losing her son to suicide. She speaks candidly about grief, survival, and the decision to turn her loss into mental health and suicide-prevention advocacy. #suicideprevention #worldtraveler #retiredby40 #supermom #motivator Amazon Book: Breakthrough Success With Amanda Meyer https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08NH28JBM Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 03:46 Amanda Meyer's Background and Mission 08:23 Early Influences and Desire to Teach 11:43 Impact of Childhood and Family Experiences 13:19 Transition from Teaching to Entrepreneurship 16:46 Discovering Network Marketing and Travel Opportunities 23:17 Building Community Through Business and Travel 26:29 Balancing Purpose, Business, and Personal Life 30:44 Retiring by 40 and Financial Independence 37:40 Finding Purpose and Overcoming Challenges 50:12 Modeling, Travel, and Personal Growth 53:51 Dealing with Personal Loss and Mental Health Advocacy 01:02:32 Talking About Suicide Prevention and Mental Health 01:11:08 Final Reflections and Advice for Next Generation Keywords: personal growth, entrepreneurship, mental health, fitness, purpose, community, resilience, suicide prevention, lifestyle, motivation
