A Mover and Shaker

Coming out into the World
“It’s not going to be easy in life!” This is exactly what Kandi was told early on as a child. A transplant from Indiana to Florida at the age of 7, Kandi learned to overcome many uphill challenges through her own life. Her mother putting herself through college to become a Registered Nurse and a father that was diagnosed with Chrons disease early in life, being told he would not live past 30, now living into his 60’s. The family picking up and starting all over after three different house fires before she was the age of 10. In her early teens she was informed that her father wasn’t her biological father however, to Kandi she believes he was a monk from a previous lifetime, brought into her life to teach her compassion and patience, something she realized later in life. Not realizing at the time she was seeking love from the notion of not being wanted by a biological father, she became a teen mother at the age of 16. This turn of event in her life was a true blessing as it catapulted her to dig into the depths of who she was and where she wanted to go in life.

Kandi’s passions have evolved to become a mover and shaker turning the quote, “It’s not going to be easy in life” to an energetic motto, “Life is about blossoming intentions into action, continue to nurture the roots and watch it grow, spreading out into the world”, Kandi Phillips.
