Kandy Windom: From Rags to Riches

Born and raised in Columbia, Kandy grew up in extreme poverty. School and academia were her salvation and through the guidance of her grandfather, she was able to find the internal fortitude that helped her survive the hardships encountered at such a young age.

Fate also had plans for Kandy’s life. As an adult, her sister had been invited to a party, but Kandy went instead. At the party, she met a US Marine, and the next day, he asked her to marry him. She already had two children and didn’t speak English, but because he had accepted the entire package, she said yes, and three months later, they were married and came to the United States.

Because her husband was in the military, and on deployment often, he encouraged Kandy to pursue her education and to become independent just in case anything happened to him, and he was no longer able to support her. She learned to speak English, drive, and continued her education.

Today, not only does Kandy have her master’s degree, but also her PhD. She worked her way through corporate America and had also worked for Homeland Security. Eventually Kandy started her own coaching business and now runs a multi-million-dollar career.

Her hard work and determination have given Kandy a rags-to-riches life. Tune in to a story of a person who lives in gratitude, is thankful for the doors God has opened, and shows what the power of focus can do to change the trajectory of one’s life.

About the Podcast

A Warrior's Spirit
Where Inner Warriors Shine In Their Light
Warriors aren't born, they're forged in the fires of challenge.

Every setback, every struggle, is a hammer striking the anvil of our character. Warriors don’t just conquer the world around them; they face the shadows within. They wrestle with doubt, fear, & insecurity, emerging not just stronger, but more compassionate.

Imagine a warrior who fights not just for personal glory, but for a cause greater than themselves. They lead by example, showing us that strength is not just about power, but about lifting others up.

It’s about turning pain into purpose and struggles into stories of resilience. Each challenge we face is an opportunity to grow, to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. When we embrace our struggles, we become part of a community of warriors, united in our quest for strength and compassion.

It’s not the fight that defines us, but how we rise from it.
Let’s share our stories, inspire one another, and keep the spirit of the warrior alive.

Daryl Snow

As a keynote speaker, podcaster, and transformational growth consultant, I’m a passionate advocate for personal and professional growth. By sparking the desire to change from within, both individuals and organizations can reach their full potential.

Imagine unlocking a treasure chest overflowing with life's greatest joys! That's what awaits when we turn inward and explore our mindset. By simply becoming aware of our thoughts and beliefs, we unlock the key to lasting positive change. This journey within opens the door to experiencing all the happiness life has to offer.

Fueled by the belief that continuous learning is key to making lasting change (after all, if you stop learning, you stop growing!), I help others to embrace a new mindset, cultivate valuable life skills, and step into living a more authentic life.

While leveraging over 40 years of knowledge and practical insight has helped me to decipher what is, and what is not being said, it is the ability to simplify complex situations that has truly increased the level of understanding that my audiences and clients have experienced.
