The Matriarch Mindset Podcast
Welcome to The Matriarch Mindset Podcast—for women who are ready to take responsibility for the influence they carry and become more fully who God created them to be.
I’m Kendall Snyder, Master Certified Life Coach, wife, mom of five, and grandmother.

We’ll talk about faith, marriage…
