KENDALL JENNER: “I Lost Myself Trying to Please Everyone!” – WATCH This To Take Your Power Back

Today, I sit down with the one and only Kendall Jenner. Kendall is a successful business founder, international supermodel, founder of the incredibly successful tequila brand, 818, and star on the Hulu’s, the Kardashians, which premieres in second season on September 22nd. Kendal shows us a different side of her as she shares how her curiosity for people with brilliant minds and doing so much to give back to the world has eventually led to this interview. Behind the glamor and spotlight, she especially enjoys having some time alone with herself, and she values the importance of setting boundaries and why we should do things that lead to genuine happiness. We talk about her childhood and her love for animals, how the simple things give her the most joys, getting through grief after losing a dear friend, and finding the heart to be more kind to your inner child. Kendall remains grounded and in tune with her inner goddess and not letting negativity and ill intentions change who she is, who she may become, and the purpose she is living by.

WHAT IT’S REALLY ABOUT

Kendall Jenner on Boundaries, Self-Worth, Grief and Choosing Happiness

  1. Kendall Jenner says that around age 23 she set boundaries and began saying no after years of overwork, despite pressure from people around her who wanted her to keep going.
  2. She describes protecting her happiness through a "higher goddess" mindset, mirror affirmations, and an inner-child photo on her bathroom mirror, so that outside opinions and false narratives matter less.
  3. She credits simple pleasures such as her horse Delandra, solo days, cold plunges, and journaling with keeping her grounded, and says that when family gets overwhelming she steps away for a few breaths.
  4. Both speakers share grief for people they lost, including Virgil and Jay's spiritual teacher and best friend from his monk years, and talk about remembering the light those people gave.
  5. Kendall says her purpose has evolved toward tuning into her best self and spreading love and positivity, and in the closing Final Five she names validation as something she no longer values.

IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING

5 ideas

Boundaries can protect both your wellbeing and your work

Kendall says that around 23 she began saying no when she could, and that this lets her show up better for herself and for the people she works with.

Happiness that depends on others leaves you at their mercy

Kendall says that if your happiness depends on the actions of others, you are at the mercy of things you can't control, so she tries to hold onto her own.

Self-talk can be retrained with simple tools

Kendall uses affirmations in the mirror and a childhood photo taped to her bathroom mirror, reminding herself that any harsh self-talk is aimed at that little girl.

We tend to live inside perceptions of perceptions

Jay cites Charles Horton Cooley's line "I am what I think you think I am" to show why seeking validation is fragile, while Kendall says that what matters is how she and the people close to her see her.

Small, accessible habits help in overwhelming moments

Kendall describes stepping away to the bathroom at a family dinner, taking a few breaths, and returning without reacting, and Jay praises how little it requires.
