249: How to (Actually) Get Fit & Feel Your Best This Year—Psychology-Backed Tips from Kendall Toole

Kendall Toole is a viral fitness influencer, former Peloton star instructor, founder of NKO Club, and the definition of powerful vulnerability.

In this raw and energizing conversation, Kendall opens up about her personal journey with anxiety and depression, and how movement became her lifeline. We also get into how toxic beauty standards shaped her childhood and how our generation is redefining body image in the era of Ozempic and low-rise jeans.

This episode is packed with motivating, no-BS life advice to help you reconnect to your power, get unstuck, and actually go for the life you want. Kendall talks perfectionism, finding purpose, and how to show up fully—especially when your brain is telling you to shrink. Kendall Toole doesn’t hold back—she offers wisdom, grit, and truth that will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready to show up as your full self.

Whether you’re struggling with your own mental health, navigating body image, want to enter your fit era in 2026, or just need a reminder that you are powerful as hell, this episode is for you.
