Real-Life Strategy for Women-Led Small Nonprofits + Businesses

At Kennelly Consulting, I support women-led nonprofits and small businesses in Sacramento, the Foothills, the Bay Area, and Reno/Tahoe who are juggling mission, work, family, and everything in between. If you feel like you’re spinning your wheels — fundraising that feels reactive, goals that never get fully mapped out, or the constant mental load of running both a business and a household — you’re in the right place.

I help you turn big ideas into clear, doable plans that fit your real life and actually move the needle.

Helping Women-Led Teams Move Forward with Clarity, Calm, and Purpose

At Kennelly Consulting, I help women-led nonprofits and small businesses find clarity and direction — in a way that honors the full picture of your life. Many consulting models still assume leaders have endless bandwidth, often missing the unique demands placed on women and moms. My approach is different. It’s holistic and realistic, blending your professional goals with your personal life so the plan actually fits. Together, we create sustainable strategies that support your wellbeing and allow you to grow and thrive at a pace that works for you.
