The No Man Diet

Free Yourself & Create The Relationship of Your Dreams

The next No Man Diet begins in 2025. 

I have felt, firsthand, what has had me (and so many women) settle for scraps in relationships. Many of us are so terrified of ending up alone, that we stay in relationships that are actually deeply unsatisfying. 

The fear of possibly being alone forever — or, even worse, of feeling the depths of our longing for deep intimacy — is so great that we would rather settle, or keep seeking, than pause to truly be with ourselves — consciously & on purpose.

“I thought he was the love of my life. I was holding this space for him/us to come back together—at the expense of my joy and peace—because I was afraid of losing him entirely and never finding anyone else that would choose me again.”

—NMD Participant, 2023

But settling for crumbs doesn’t keep you fed — it keeps you starving.

For a number of years I had been on-again-off-again dating a guy who refused to commit, who was often emotionally distant, and would come and go as he pleased.

There came a moment when I got fed up & began looking outside of this dynamic.  But, as is so often the case, I fell madly in love with another man who also wasn’t available for the kind of partnership I wanted. Occasionally, I threw my hands up at both of them and went on dates via OKCupid.

Here I was, dating these two men, but part of me was so lonely, craved connection in a deeper way, and was unconsciously waiting for a (real) partner so my life could begin. Until one day I got my wake up call when my lover told me this:

“I refuse to be the next man in your life who gives you just enough so that you don’t go for what you really want.”

This was one of the hardest, truest and most loving things a man had ever said to me. On the one hand, I felt heartbroken: I was in love with him. On the other hand, I knew he was telling the truth—not because he didn’t love me, but because he did—and in doing so, he was setting me free.

The next day, I chose to put myself on a No Man Diet. I knew in my bones that it was going to take radically letting go in order to get to the bottom of what was having me stay in these deeply unfulfilling dynamics.

The No Man Diet process brought me to my knees.

But, in those depths, I found myself again.

In all honesty, the moment I committed to my No Man Diet, I immediately felt a deep sense of fear and regret at the thought of giving up the little (romantic intimacy) I had—it seemed crazy. I knew I wasn’t getting what I wanted, but the fear of not having anything at all was so much more intense than continuing to settle for what I could get.

More than once, I found myself literally on the floor, calling on God or anyone who would listen. It was a dark and confusing time but also exquisitely beautiful. In those depths, I found myself again and fell back in love with parts of myself I had abandoned along the way in my quest for love.

Not only did I regain true sovereignty within myself, but I transformed my relationships with the women in my life, I began to truly and deeply love myself in ways I had only imagined before, I began to experience more pleasure, joy & fulfillment in all areas of my life, and as a bonus — I created a beautiful relationship with the man of my dreams.

You can have this, too.

 

Here’s the secret: The No Man Diet has nothing to do with men

The dirty little secret of The No Man Diet is that it actually has nothing to do with men. This is one of the reasons it’s so powerful—it’s not about them.

We feed ourselves crumbs while pining away for a (mythical) partner who will cook us a delicious dinner.

The No Man Diet asks why we aren’t feeding ourselves the nourishment we need. It asks what drives us to take the little bits that are dropped. It asks why we think crumbs are all we can have, when a whole menu is on offer.

The No Man Diet offers real, practical tools & teachings for how to live in a way such that we truly nourish ourselves in the ways we need, and are able to recognize what actually nourishing relationships look & feel like.

The No Man Diet is secretly a gourmet meal.

Nearly every woman who goes through The No Man Diet finds she can no longer settle in her relationships.

Even after nearly 15 years of diving deep into the world of coaching & personal growth, I had had very few experiences that were as deep, that shifted my life so profoundly, or that had the kind of long-lasting change that came from my No Man Diet. My own transformation through a No Man Diet was potent & powerful, I knew I wanted to offer what I had experienced to other women.

What I have found after leading over 200 women through The No Man Diet is that women consistently get far more out of this process than they ever imagined!  Many women join (secretly) hoping they’ll meet ‘the one’, and what they discover is that ‘the one’ really is themselves.

Nearly every woman who goes through The No Man Diet finds she can no longer settle in her relationships going forward.  Everything has changed — for the better!  

One of the most common stories I hear is of an amazing partner showing up…just in the moment a woman has stopped seeking outside herself for love & validation.  The beautiful stories I hear of the women who have met their dream partners, or completely turned relationships they believed were dead around keep me coming back to this program year after year, with joy.

“Working with Kendra during the No Man Diet helped me reclaim my role as arbiter of my own life, re-establish essential relationships with women in my life, and develop wide-ranging practices to create a life full of beauty and connection.”

—Jenna Moon

“Since the No Man Diet men come up to me and try to pick me up! (I swear I had an invisible shield that now can come down, when I want it to be down).”

—MG, 2020 NMD Participant

Q

The No Man Diet is NOT for you if...

  • You’re looking for a quick fix
  • You still really think the ‘problem’ is those ‘5lbs I just can’t seem to lose’ (or some other version of believing that changing the way you look will change everything)
  • You’re unwilling to set boundaries & ask for what you (really) want
  • You’re sure it’s all his fault
  • You still want to ‘keep your options open’
  • You aren’t ready or willing to let go of seeking a relationship (right now)
  • You believe finding the right person will make you happy
  • You’d rather do the inner work while dating, or in a relationship

Most of us want the benefit of a No Man Diet without actually going on a real No Man Diet

It’s natural to wish there was a shortcut. The same way we’d like to feel fully rested and peaceful, but without actually going to bed early or setting boundaries with ourselves about our phone usage.

The truth is, the deep transformation that I (and hundreds of women) have found in The No Man Diet came from actually being willing to set dating, sex, and romantic relationships aside for a period of time, consciously & on purpose.

It is 100% normal & OK to be scared — I was scared too!  

But I want to be clear:  This process WORKS — when you work the process.

You won't be alone as you embark on this journey.

A No Man Diet will always be unique to every woman. But generally speaking, it’s about choosing a period of time when dating, sex and relationships are off the table, in service of creating something else entirely.

I’ve intentionally designed The No Man Diet as a group coaching program, in order to provide you with a solid support system.

The container is crucial. It holds us when we have really good excuses, or reasons, for stepping outside it. My container was held and shared with many people—I was working with a coach the whole time, I shared it with other men friends, women friends and colleagues. I had a very strong support system. I was very clear about what I was doing, what the guidelines were and for how long — and my people were there for me through it all — especially the moments when I wanted to quit.

After leading over 200 women through this process, I can almost guarantee that, at some point, you will meet The One during this process, and fully convince yourself you’ve gotten the lesson and it is time to quit.  That is when having the community of women, as well as myself to share and receive feedback honestly is invaluable. 

What Does The No Man Diet Program Include?

  • A 17-week group coaching container. This container is limited to 24 women in order to maintain program intimacy.

“I am SO DAMN grateful I made the choice to say yes to this container and this program. It was so deeply nourishing and transformative. I am really awed and appreciative of the quality of this program, Kendra’s leadership (perfect medicine woman guide for me right now and I am so grateful), and the community we all cultivated.”

“I really appreciated the organization, structure of themes and the way The No Man Diet was rolled out. It was layered in such a supportive way that tended to all the questions that can come up around this work. A great beginning, middle, and end. You don’t often get much completion work when doing programs and I loved that this helped you focus on completion before moving back out into the world.”

Throughout The No Man Diet we’ll explore these themes:

Creating a Powerful Container

Right Relationship with The Feminine

Right Relationship with The Masculine

Self Trust & Self Love

Deep Inner Work

Setting Powerful Intention(s)

The Connection Between Boundaries & Love

Personal Practice(s)

The Power of Feeling

Pleasure & Power

Sacred Longing

Embodiment & Expression

This program has been so much more than I expected. It has been such a rich, deep, transformative container. I have felt a fundamental shift in what I know to be true about myself. I feel so very blessed to have been a part of it, and am so excited to try my new wings IRL.”

Kendra’s No Man Diet is powerful, cleansing and healing in countless ways. Her insights, practices, support and suggestions are game changers in the complicated world of relationships and love. For the first time I felt safe, seen, empowered, supported as I dared to untangle the layers of emotions and conditioning connected to intimate relationships that have kept me trapped for so long. Thank you Kendra for creating such a safe container and revealing a pathway to new possibilities!”

—Cindy Thompson

I went into [The No Man Diet] with a broken heart and I came out not only healed, but even more whole than I ever realized I was.”

—NMD Participant, 2022

The No Man Diet is about you, and being so devoted to yourself that you’re just dripping with love and power and amazement. You will fall deeply in love with yourself, ALL of your SELF. The parts that want to curl up and hide or scream and cry and kick or frolic through a meadow on a sunny day. You will discover and meet ALL of it. And you will be held and supported through the whole thing by Kendra, the other women in the program –  and most importantly, yourself.”

—NMD Participant, 2022

Join The No Man Diet

Program begins 2025 

What is being offered in The No Man Diet is not a quick-fix, but an opportunity for integration of concepts, experiences, practices, and relationships over time.

Something magical & tangible happens when we make a commitment—we remove the energy leak of the recurring choice-point. When we commit, we put ourselves in the crucible of the container, and life arises to meet us there.

The official program is 17 weeks long, and includes 7 group coaching calls. But, in some ways, it begins as soon as you enroll.

You’ll have instant access to foundational materials, including lifetime access to my signature Beyond Boundaries program, as soon as you join. And there are opportunities to participate in two additional group coaching calls by enrolling early*.

I also understand that sometimes “life happens,” which is why you’ll retain access to the program materials for an additional three months after we complete in December.

(So, this 17-week program can expand to almost a 9-month program when you enroll early.)

To recap, here’s what’s included:

  • A 17-week group coaching container
  • A limited group size of 24 women
  • 7 live group coaching calls with Kendra
  • Regular personalized coaching inside the online Community Forum
  • 12 Teaching and Practice Modules as part of a private member site with all your program content
  • A private podcast feed to make it even easier to listen to your content, anywhere you are.
  • Weekly emails and guided inquiries to help guide you through the program, step by step
  • A wealth of resources for further study and practice

And — when you join The No Man Diet today, you will receive:

  • TWO Bonus Group Coaching Calls with Kendra
  • Instant access to pre-work, resources, and bonus content before the program begins in August.

  • Lifetime access to Kendra’s Beyond Boundaries program ($197 value)

The No Man Diet will change your life. It was one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made. It really had little to do with no men, and was so much deeper and potent than the name sounds. You will come out a new woman, and you must do it. Really just trust me. DO IT. You will not regret it and it’ll bloom your whole life open.”

—NMD Participant, 2021

The No Man Diet is one of the top ten most valuable experiences I’ve given myself in my 69 years of life. Deep bow to you, Kendra, and deep gratitude.”

—NMD Participant, 2022

You might be wondering…

Do I really have to give up dating and sex? Why?

In the end, you have to answer those questions for yourself. In the program, we’ll spend two full weeks creating each woman’s unique container and agreements, because it’s so personal. However, I make a very strong recommendation that you give up all dating, sex and romantic relationships (that includes those late-night booty calls to your ex!). The reason is that in order to truly create something new, you must truly let go of old habits, but not what you are really longing for.

Having an insight and actually making different choices are two very different things!  What I’ve seen time and time again is that women have insights around how they want to relate to dating and sex differently, but still keep behaving in ways that are counter to that insight.

And when you are filling your time, attention and energetic space with relating that does not truly nourish you, there is no room for the kind of relationship(s) you say you want.

Having the support of a coach and a community of women on the same path is huge in being able to hold firm to these agreements we make with ourselves.

Am I allowed to hang out with my guy friends?

That depends. I would suggest paying close attention to why you need to hang out with them during this time?  What are you afraid of losing if you let them know you needed some time apart – not because there is any problem, but because you are taking time to really love yourself (better).

If a man—friend or romantic relationship—can’t allow you the space you need for you and you, then there is usually some addiction going on in the dynamic between you.

Of course, you don’t need to create 12 weeks of your life where you never come in contact with any men! But you will grow more and more aware of all the ways you use your interactions with men as a means of validation.  And that is the place to practice.

I’m separated from my husband but still married... is The No Man Diet for me?

Absolutely!  This could be the perfect container to hold you during this time.

For my relationship, it was my willingness to truly let it go, that allowed us to create the beautiful partnership we have today.  This is like winter and how many plants need to die back in order to bloom or fruit again in the spring.

I can’t say whether you will choose to be romantic partners on the other side or not, but I can promise you, that if you truly give yourself to this process, you can absolutely create the Right Relationship (for you) with each other on the other side.

The freedom to make a true choice about whether to stay together or get a divorce comes from the willingness to let what is die, so that what might be—divorce or continued partnership—has fertile ground to grow in.

I’m not looking for a man right now... is The No Man Diet for me?

This is actually the foundation of The No Man Diet.

What I discovered during my own experience, was what my true desires even were.  From there, I got right with wanting them, whether someone could meet them or not.

I also found all these ways that I was deeply fulfilled, alone. And it was the willingness to really surrender into the aloneness that allowed me to find the fulfillment. It’s one thing to conceptually understand, but it wasn’t until I walked the path that I really got (like, in my bone marrow) how deeply fulfilled I could be alone.

Is The No Man Diet only for heterosexual women?

Nope!  I have had lots of women who identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual go through The No Man Diet.  All of these women have said that the content & practices within The No Man Diet were completely transferable to ALL their relationships.  I do my best to keep my language neutral & also try to be honest that I am still a work in progress in this area.

Can’t I just do this on my own? Why do I need to do your program?

The container is crucial. It holds us when we have really good excuses, or reasons, for stepping outside it. My container was held and shared with many people—I was working with a coach the whole time, I shared it with other men friends, women friends and colleagues. I had a very strong support system. I was very clear about what I was doing, what the guidelines were and for how long – and my people were there for me through it all – especially the moments when I wanted to quit.

I can almost guarantee that, at some point, you will meet The One during this process, and fully convince yourself you’ve gotten the lesson and it is time to quit.  That is when having the community of women, as well as myself to share and receive feedback honestly is invaluable.

What are the dates of the program?

The dates for The No Man Diet 2025 are still being finalized.

In 2024, the program ran from mid-August to mid-December.

We also make all the content & practices available for a full 3 months after the formal completion of the program, so you have plenty of time to go at your own pace and/or revisit content. 

When are the live calls?

The call schedule for The No Man Diet 2025 are still being finalized.

In 2024, the program ran from mid-August to mid-December and calls were frequently held from 9:00am – 10:30am PT.

All calls are recorded and uploaded to your member site within 24-48 hours.

When are the Early Registration bonus calls?

The call schedule for The No Man Diet 2025 is still being finalized.

Are the calls recorded?

Absolutely!  The live group coaching calls will be recorded & added to the Member Site within 48 hours.

How many hours/week do I need to allocate for The No Man Diet?

This is a personal decision.  Some women get enough by being in the container & watching each week’s video.  Other women watch each week’s video a few times, take on daily practices, and show up for all the live calls.  Either one, and everything in between, can work — as long as it works for you!

On average, we would recommend setting aside 1-3 hours per week.

What if I’m not able to keep up with the content? Will I have access to it later?

While most of the content will work within your life, rather than be ‘another thing to do’ & we recommend creating space in your life or the work of The No Man Diet, we also recognize that sometimes other things will take your attention — or you may just need to move through the content more slowly.

For this reason, women in The No Man Diet have often heard me say “You are not behind & it’s not possible to be behind.  This is your No Man Diet.  You cannot be behind on your own process.”

We also make all the content & practices available for a full 3 months after the formal completion of the program, so you have plenty of time to go at your own pace and/or revisit content. Many women have emailed me even years later to say they are still finding the teachings valuable in their lives & relationships!

What women say about The No Man Diet

“What really made the No Man Diet powerful and transformative for me was what Kendra herself brought to the space. She was impeccably present. She invited me to explore the depths of myself in a way that nobody had before and she held witness to ALL the parts of me with such tenderness and reverence that it often brought tears to my eyes.

She had a brilliant ability to cut through layers of my self-deception while simultaneously making it clear that she cared for me no matter where I was on my path. She showed me through her own example how to offer devotion to myself. She not only welcomed every inquiry I had, but treated it as a sacred offering. And she had this beautiful way of teasing out the threads and nuances of my process so that I was able to digest it and feel hopeful instead of overwhelmed. I felt fully accepted and LOVED for who I was.

This program had such a tremendous impact on me that I enrolled in her longer immersion, Fierce Grace, simply for the chance to continue to learn and grow from her. I did not hesitate for one second about Fierce Grace, and I will continue to jump at every opportunity I can to be at the feet of such a wise and masterful teacher. Thank you Kendra — you changed my life.”

—Candace Folden

“I’m in love with you (Kendra). Really. You’ve been a very much needed role model of how to be a soft + strong woman all at the same time. I really hope I get a chance to work with you again. It’s been nothing like I expected and I’m so much Club Cunov now.  Seriously though, thank you. Your work is changing my life and those around me.”

—LS

When Kendra says this is a transformative experience — she is not kidding. The No Man Diet and the skills I learned in this program caused a profound shift in how I showed up in my relationship, and therefore the relationship itself. It is no exaggeration to say that my relationship, and my life, feel entirely different. I got exactly what I had hoped out of this program! I cannot thank Kendra enough.”

—KK, NMD Participant 2019

The No Man Diet is the PhD of living awakened. Your weekly offerings and all that you shared each week woke this up more clearly to me than ever before. I also want to share that I sense this had a lot to do with the container, for sure, and also the Loving you placed within it.”

“I feel that I have created an entirely new way of being in the world. Beyond rituals and habits—this way of existing in the world is beyond nourishing for me. I plan on studying and applying this material for a long time to come.”

Through The No Man Diet, I LOVE MYSELF. Deeply, truly, unconditionally, faithfully. I love myself.”

“Thank you so much for creating this container, and for holding it with such a fierce knowing of its sacred nature. With your help, teachings, stories, and wisdom— I am finally grounded/anchored in me enough to honor my voice, and LISTEN to the pulls of my own soul. For that, I bow….in deep reverence to you.”

“I love myself more than ever before. I feel ready for a partner but in less of a needy state.”

“I feel like I found myself more. And I really like myself. I am rare and full and exotic and nourishing to myself.”

Since Kendra has been my teacher and coach over the last year I have learned the art of being comfortable in my own skin by slowing down, staying with my breath, the power of meditating, and learning how boundaries in relationships are honoring for myself and those I choose to be in relationship with. {Her} delicate yet firm, no nonsense coaching style has elevated my life in ways no other coach has of mine to date. (And I have had many!)”

—Sandy Sembler

This experience has absolutely changed my perspective on what a container is.

—OM, 2020 NMD Participant

“(Through The No Man Diet) I learned there is a deeper, richer way of being and relating ready to reveal itself in every moment. I am no longer afraid when conflict comes up.

—KK

{My relationships with other women}  have deepened in ways that I will never be able to comprehend. This healing of my relationships with women has been the foundation I’ve always needed to be ME, and stay connected to me in (while in) relationship.”

—KB

The No Man Diet is deeply transformational. It will get you in touch with some of your most tender parts and invite you to learn how to meet them. Kendra has a non-judgmental, fierce, loving approach. Her wisdom and experience will guide you beautifully during this process. If you feel any type of call to join the No Man Diet, I highly encourage you take it.”

—NMD Participant 2022

“This is the first time in my life that I have gotten to know myself, appreciate myself and really actually honor myself deeply…The No Man Diet is a gift to us all. 

“Since The No Man Diet, my relationship with myself, my Self and the Divine come first and every other relationship follows and is built upon that foundation.”

“So grateful for this experience. Thank you Kendra for guiding me to exactly where I want to be right now ❤️  I have 1 more week left of my {No Man Diet container}, and I am so happy with what I have achieved.”

—EM, 2020 NMD Participant

“Learning to ‘husband my own feminine’ in The No Man Diet was GOLD!”

“I feel so much more contained and centered. I have starved out some pretty tempting programs under which I’ve operated for a long time. I feel strong and trustworthy. I feel a lot more grounded and clear and discerning.”
