Archetypos Podcast 27. Nyasha Williams + Kenda Bell on Saturday Magic, Hoodoo, Ancestral Veneration, Elemental Magic + More!
Today, I am speaking with the co-authors of an inspiring, visionary, culturally rich, and life-force activating picture book called Saturday Magic!
Kenda Bell:
Kenda Bell-Spruill, known as "Joy Factor Mama," is a living reminder of resilience, tenacity, and transformation. Her life tapestry, woven with threads of overcoming breast cancer, triumphing over stuttering, navigating single motherhood, and discovering marital bliss after 40, is a vibrant testament to the indomitable spirit within every woman.
As a spiritual nutritionist, Kenda transforms her life lessons into an enlightening roadmap for others on their self-discovery journeys. She's mastered various disciplines from Feminine Power to Bagua™ Astrology and the GROW™ & SMART™ methods - skills she weaves into her unique Joy Factor Method™.
Kenda shares her wisdom in her engaging journal, "The Ethical Selfishness Journal: 12 Pathways Back To Joy". She urges women to afford themselves the grace and understanding to be empowered to tap into their sacred magic through joy without apology.
