Helping Women Rise: Dr. Kennedy Garcia on Building Leaders & Closing the Dream Gap
This is what happens when one woman’s calling collides with her passion for impact. In this episode, host Brandi DeVries sits down with Dr. Kennedy Garcia—better known as the Spiritual Boss Chick—to explore her journey from tech leader to transformational strategist and seven-time pageant titleholder. Kennedy is the founder of the REIGNWell Institute and creator of the Dream Scholarship Program, which has awarded over $280,000 to women pursuing higher education.
Together, Brandi and Kennedy unpack the power of legacy, the importance of equipping women to rise with purpose, and the ripple effect of giving back. From navigating pageantry to mentoring future leaders, Kennedy shares how faith, courage, and action can close the gender dream gap and create generational change.
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn passion into purpose—or how to push past fear and just do it—this conversation is for you.
