LaShasta Bell and Kendra Bracken-Ferguson, first meet at Entreprenista Weekend May 4, 2024 in Orlando, FL.
It all started when…
Some connections are simply meant to be..
Imagine this: it’s May 2024. Kendra is on a whirlwind book tour, speaking to a dynamic room full of women entrepreneurs—visionaries, dreamers, and doers gathered in community. After stepping off stage to take a breather, she wanders into the hallway for a moment of pause.
Meanwhile, LaShasta is part of the speaker lineup, soaking in the energy and brilliance of the event. Just as one speaker blazes the stage, she manages to spill something on her shirt (not uncommon, considering her childhood nickname was “Dirty Sally”—because you could always tell what she ate by her shirt 😂). Off she goes to the bathroom to regroup.
And there, in that hallway, the spark ignited.
What started as a chance encounter quickly unfolded into something more. We bonded instantly—two Taurus women, born in the same year, vibing over our love of purpose, presence, and powerful storytelling. Kendra was taken by LaShasta’s wisdom in wellness and sleep, while LaShasta was captivated by Kendra’s commanding presence (and yes, those legendary calf muscles 😆).
We realized we were both doing transformational work—just in different industries. We had walked parallel paths as mothers, founders, leaders, and women navigating spaces that weren’t always built with us in mind. We knew we were meant to build something together that could offer purpose, alignment, and empowerment to women like us.
So here we are—inviting you to join us for our first co-hosted retreat:
From Hustle to Harmony: The Beauty of Success Through an Optimal Life.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s the beginning of a transformational experience grounded in sleep, wellness and purpose. And we’re so honored to share it with you.
