  • Fitness Pro Kendall Toole on New Chapter, Entrepreneurship, Mental Health & More
    Jun 10 2025

    Kendall Toole knows how to pack a punch when it comes to programming a workout! This comes as no surprise given the fitness pro has been moving in some form since she was young. First it helped to drain the energy tank as a kid, later it became a space to find mental clarity, and now it's her career. Despite the change in reason for movement, her love for it has remained constant. The former Peloton instructor left the major platform about a year ago with gratitude for the experience, and is now embracing a new chapter. Today we dive in to:

    • The questions she asked herself while making the decision & how she knew she was ready for a change
    • Importance of embracing a beginner's mindset
    • Finding happy habits
    • How to draw the line between sharing and keeping things sacred
    • Lessons learned while building businesses (good, bad & funny!)
    • How the darkest time in her life helped her find her purpose
    • Mini look at what's to come with NKO Club & other businesses
    • Fun rapid fire

  • 'Harvard Engineer Redesigning the Sports Bra' Sara Falkson on Project, Body Confidence & More
    May 27 2025

    Sara Falkson is a Harvard engineer redesigning the sports bra and helping women find body confidence in sport. Why redesign the sports bra? As an athlete herself (4 years of field hockey at Dartmouth) she has had her own relationship with confidence and sports bra woes and learned that so many other women did too! So, in her second year of Harvard University's Masters of Design Engineering program she set out to create something that was more comfortable and allowed athletes to have confidence in their gear to focus on their sport. Sara is also inspired by a stat from Dove and Nike that nearly 50% of teen girls drop out of sports due to lack of body confidence. Today we dive in to:

    • Redesigning the sports bra
    • Why hosting body confidence workshops with young athletes is so important to Sara and the work she is doing
    • Surprising passion women have for discussing sports bras and other feminine issues in sports
    • Importance of community and teams
    • Sara's personal journey with confidence in sport and in life
    • What's next for Robyn
