Tribe of Unicorns
Tribe of Unicorns is a personal growth podcast for women who feel the pull to live louder, trust deeper, and stop waiting for permission to become who they already are.
I'm Kendra Beavis. I'm not here to tell you what to do. I share what's worked for me and bring on incredible guests to share what's worked for them. Take what lands. Leave the rest. Build your own path.
We talk about spirituality, intuition, business, bodies, boundaries, and all the messy, magical work of building a life that actually fits. Some episodes go deep into leadership and purpose. Others explore meditation, movement, play, and connecting to the other side.
Growth is never done (thank goodness). We're all students here. Cherry-pick what feels good, go forward, and create something that's yours.
New episodes drop weekly, so come on back.

Ep. 92- Rewriting the Story — Food Freedom, Creativity, and Embodiment with Kayla MacDonald
Host: Kendra Beavis
Guest: Kayla MacDonald — Author, Podcast Host, Food Freedom & Embodiment Guide
In this episode of Tribe of Unicorns, Kendra Beavis sits down with Kayla McDonald for a grounded, imaginative conversation about food freedom, embodiment, and the power of rewriting the stories we live by.
Kayla shares how writing and creativity helped her survive a painful childhood—and how those same tools now support women in building healthier relationships with food, self-worth, and self-expression. Together, they explore why food struggles are often rooted in deeper stories about safety, identity, and being told to shrink, rather than a lack of discipline or willpower.
This episode blends lived experience with practical tools, including a playful journaling practice Kayla calls narrative alchemy, designed to make inner work feel lighter, more creative, and more sustainable.
🎧 Listen in for a grounded discussion on food freedom, embodiment, and rewriting the stories we live by.
