Pursuit of Wellness

Kendall Toole: Leaving Peloton, Fighting for Mental Health, and Starting Fresh


Listen Later

Ep. #143 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with Kendall Toole to explore her fitness journey, from her start as a child actor to becoming a Peloton instructor. We dive into her experience with OCD, the challenges of the college drinking culture, and how she’s navigated negative self talk. Kendall opens up about facing imposter syndrome, overthinking, and embracing growth through pain. We also discuss the power of community, breathwork, and how she found her purpose in helping others find theirs. Kendall’s story is one of resilience, transformation, and redefining wellness, and it's a conversation you won't want to miss. Tune in to be inspired and empowered to find your own strength through life’s challenges.
