About this episode
In this episode of The Resilient Life Podcast, Chris sits down with Kendra Kinnison for a candid conversation about balancing a demanding professional life with long-term health and well-being. Kendra shares how years of high stress, poor habits, and physical pain led her to make intentional changes that transformed the way she works, moves, and thinks about success.
They discuss the link between health and leadership, why daily habits matter more than big breakthroughs, and how resilience can be built like a muscle. Kendra also opens up about self-experimentation, managing energy, supporting blood sugar health, and making healthy choices the default part of everyday life.
This episode is a practical, motivating reminder that success is not just about achievement, it’s about staying capable, clear, and resilient enough to keep showing up well for your work, your family, and yourself.

Behaviour & Consistency
For most professionals the constraint is implementation, not knowledge. Reducing the number of decisions usually does more for results than adding detail.
