In today’s episode, we are chatting with Kate Kennedy. Kate is a mom, wife, sister, daughter, visionary, and a dreamer of big dreams. She’s a writer and a self-described theology nerd with a passion for empowering others to share their stories by bravely sharing her own. Kate’s work focuses on where the church meets the world and the beautiful tapestry of stories within our communities.
In 2018, Kate founded a tuition-free private school for children experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. What began with just 9 young scholars has now grown to serve over 60 scholars—a pivotal chapter in Kate’s personal story and a testament to her belief in stepping out in courage, even without the traditional credentials. Kate is the author of Once Upon a School, which is a story of her journey.
Episode Highlights:
- The Power of Conviction: Kate shares her journey of founding a school for children experiencing homelessness with no formal background in education.
- Motherhood and Mission: Kate shares her journey from stay-at-home mom to visionary leader, balancing the demands of motherhood while answering a call she couldn’t ignore. Driven by a deep conviction and a need she saw in her community, she took the courageous first steps to create lasting change.
- Gathering Quiet Stories: Kate explores her passion for uncovering the often-overlooked stories within our communities and why they matter.
- Kate’s Book Flight - Memoirs of Women Empowerment: Hear about the memoirs that have inspired Kate, all centering on women’s resilience, courage and the empowerment that comes from sharing our stories.
- Believing in Yourself: Kate opens up about trusting her intuition, taking the first steps toward change and learning that you don’t always need credentials—just a willingness to say “yes.”
