We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Kyndall Bridgers a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Kyndall, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

I hope my legacy will be one of faith, love, and healing.

I want my children to grow up knowing the transformative power of God’s love, and to see grace not just as something they receive, but something they offer to others freely. I want them to walk through life with strong values, open hearts, and the courage to be themselves fully. I want them to take on the identity
of Christ and who he created them to be, not who the world says that “its ok” to be.

Coming from a family with both love and silence, I’ve made it my mission to live out loud—with honesty, intention, and purpose. I want to break generational patterns, not just for the sake of change, but to create space for wholeness. If I can be remembered for anything, I hope it’s for being a woman who gave her all—to her family, her purpose, and her God; someone who moved with faith and left light behind wherever she went.

Faith has taught me to lead with love instead of judgment, to see people beyond their flaws, and to extend grace because I’ve needed it too. That’s the kind of light I hope to leave behind—a light that warms, that heals, that reminds others that its OK to have trials and struggles, because life is full of them. But to know that God has a plan for it and that no time will go wasted. I want my children to see that no matter the pain of the past, we can choose to live with intention, truth, and in joy.

I hope people will say I made them feel seen, that I carried peace into chaotic spaces, and that I used every gift I had to make life a little more beautiful for someone else. Whether through a kind word, a dance that lifted someone’s spirit, or words written in a devotional that met a person right where they were—I want my life to reflect light that lasts beyond me.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Hi, I’m Kyndall D Bridgers and I wear a few meaningful hats—with faith, family, and purpose at the center of them all.

I’m a proud St. Louis native now planted in the Carolinas, where I share life with my amazing husband and our children. By day, I work as a Technical Business Analyst helping bridge the gap between business needs and technical solutions. I love making complex systems simpler and more efficient, and ultimately helping teams deliver work that matters.
I’m also a Zumba instructor, dance lover, singer, encourager, and author. In 2020, I released a 30-day devotional, (Conquering The Wait), which focused on encouraging others during their waiting season—a message deeply rooted in my personal journey and faith walk.

My fitness brand is growing, (Bridge 2 Fitness), and I currently offer high-energy Zumba classes in both corporate and private settings. My goal is to create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and energized—body, mind, and spirit.

What sets me apart is the heart behind the work. I don’t just teach dance—I help people reconnect with joy. My life is a blend of purpose and passion, and I believe that’s where the magic happens.

What I’m most proud of is building a life that reflects both who I am and who I’m becoming—a woman of faith, impact, and light.

If you’re looking for someone who brings authenticity, joy, and intentionality to every space she enters, whether in the corporate world, creative circles, or faith-based settings—I’m glad you’re here. Let’s grow, move, and be encouraged—together.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

There was a time in my life when I felt unstoppable. I was single, in shape, independent, and chasing my goals with laser focus. Growing up in a home where I had to be strong, there was no reward for existence, crying didn’t change things and survival meant figuring things out fast—I learned early how to push through pain and quickly shift into “solution mode.” That strength carried me through school, career moves, and into the fitness world where I found a deep love for dance and teaching Zumba. It was my outlet, my joy, and a way to empower others.

But as life began to evolve—as I got married, had children, and stepped into new roles—I began to experience changes that no one prepared me for. Suddenly, the very body that helped me feel confident didn’t look or move the same. I found myself struggling mentally and physically, navigating a world that often rewards appearances over authenticity—especially in the fitness space.

The pressure to “bounce back,” to be everything to everyone, and to maintain a version of myself that no longer felt true… it weighed on me. I loved my family deeply, but I had lost connection with the woman I once was.

What saved me was the decision to pause and do the work—the inner work through obedience to God and therapy, and the outer work of acceptance, grace, and patience with my body. I had to let go of perfection and reconnect with purpose. I had to understand that my audience had changed because, well, I had changed. I wasn’t just teaching Zumba anymore—I was showing up for women like me, who needed joy, movement, and a reminder that strength comes in many forms.

That shift changed everything. I taught better and danced without pressure. Continuing to be a work in progress, I’m no longer chasing an old version of myself—I’m walking boldly as the woman I’ve grown into.
That’s resilience to me. The ability to evolve, to come undone and rebuild, to meet yourself with grace—and still rise.

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?

One piece that has deeply influenced my perspective—both personally and professionally—is the poem “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes. It’s more than just a poem to me; it’s a mirror of the strength I saw in family and role models before me, and the kind of strength I aim to pass on to my children.

The imagery of that staircase, battered and worn but still climbed with determination, has stuck with me throughout every stage of life. As a woman navigating corporate spaces, entrepreneurship, motherhood, marriage, and my own internal battles, I’ve had to keep climbing—even when it wasn’t pretty, even when the steps felt broken, even when there was no “clear” example on what to do.

That poem reminds me that leadership, whether at work, in the home, or in the community, doesn’t always look polished. Sometimes it’s just the choice to keep going. To show up. To lead with heart. I find myself saying, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair”. Because I believe in creating space for grace, but also in pushing forward with purpose—no matter how rough the climb.
