Kendell shares relatable anecdotes about the pressure to perform, the nagging feeling of not being good enough, and the constant stress of 'adulting.' She offers practical strategies to manage stress, silence the inner critic, and embrace the idea that you're more than enough—you're extraordinary. Kendell explains how chronic stress impacts our health and well-being, sharing eye-opening statistics about its prevalence in society.
