Bailey Kanode
Media & Operations Director
​
Bailey lives in Charlotte, NC and has a Bachelor's degree in Recreation Therapy with a Minor in Psychology.
After college, Bailey quickly found that her healthcare degree was not fulfilling her true potential. She began volunteering at numerous organizations - but truly felt as if she was made for more than the life she was living. She found Made for More Retreats through social media and immediately got involved in every way she could. She has become the right hand girl for all things Made for More.
Bailey has a passion for traveling, experiencing new things, and helping others see the potential in living life on their own terms.
In her free time, she enjoys going to the gym, spending time with her dogs, and being in nature.
