Some people you meet in your life and you just know they’re built differently — not because everything is easy for them, but because they keep showing up anyway. This week, Kendall Toole is in the Too Much studio to talk about the moments that knocked her down, the ones that almost knocked her out, and how she rebuilt into the version of herself she fought for.

If you know Kendall from Rumble Boxing or her rise as a Peloton instructor, you’ve seen the highlight reel. This episode is the real story — the one underneath the bubbly-on-camera version. Kendall opens up about growing up with OCD, depression and intrusive thoughts, how “achievement = worth” became her default coping mechanism, what her darkest season looked like in college at USC, and the words that changed everything: “They can knock you down, but they can never knock you out.” Something that carried her through became a community, a mantra, and eventually her next chapter as a founder.

Emma and Kendall go down the rabbit hole about what healing actually looks like, why a regulated nervous system is a flex, and how adopting a beginner mindset can be the most underrated form of mental health “exposure therapy.”

Content warning: This episode includes discussions of depression, intrusive thoughts, and suicidal ideation. Please take care of yourself and skip if this isn’t a safe listen right now. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 (U.S.), contact local emergency services, and check out resources via NAMI and Project Healthy Minds.

Emma's always been told she's, "too much" and now, she's done apologizing for it. From NY to LA and back again, she's lived a thousand lives and if there's anything she's learned, it's to be unapologetically yourself. Every Tuesday, Emma is getting raw and real about everything from f*ckups and breakups, thriving (and surviving) in your 20s and 30s, how to be the best version of yourself and so much more. So grab a drink, because we're going down the rabbit hole...
