Ep 85: There’s Room for All of Us with K...

with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg
About this episode

PLEASE NOTE: This episode contains talk of suicide. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255.


In this episode, Melissa sits down with Kendall Toole to break down the competitive walls that can arise between women, especially in the fitness industry, and discuss the “unwellness in wellness” that often goes unspoken. They emphasize that there’s room for everyone to shine in their own way and dive into how they’ve dealt with triggers. Kendall shares her journey from landing a job at Peloton without ever teaching a cycling class to navigating her exit from the company. She talks about trusting signs in life—whether it’s career moves or knowing her boyfriend was "the one." With a "let's see" mentality, Kendall opens up about not forcing things, leaning into fears, and her early battles with anxiety brought on by OCD. She candidly discusses her experiences with depression, a suicide attempt, and ultimately, how taking the leap to bet on herself changed her life.
