Life will knock you down—but it doesn’t have to knock you out. In this episode, I sit down with Kendall Toole. A top fitness and wellness expert, mental health advocate, and content creator, Kendall has inspired millions with her energy and authenticity. But behind her success is a powerful story of resilience. Kendall gets real about her battle with anxiety and depression, the breaking point that changed everything, and how she turned her pain into a movement that’s helping others heal. We also talk about her decision to leave Peloton and step into a new chapter, the daily habits that keep her grounded, and trusting your intuition.
