Briana Kennedy | Life and Business Coach
I get kicks out of helping people chase their dreams. Ever wish you could just dump everything out of your brain and have someone help you sort through it?
That’s exactly what I do. I work with overwhelmed creative humans—life goal chasers, solo business owners, and creative minds who are stuck in the “too much to do, no idea where to start” zone.
