The School of Greatness · The Real Reason Stress Is Hurting You | Kelly McGonigal · 24 Jul 2026 podcast

You're not going to hear a lot from me, but people who want to interact with me, message me, tag me.

I like, I like giving people an opportunity to just touch base with me, but you're not going to, you're not going to see that many pictures of my cat.

Okay, so I am probably going to give you an answer you don't like, but I don't know.

I don't know what the three truths are, but here's what I really want to leave behind.

First, I want to leave behind the memories that people have had in my dance classes.

One of the things that is most meaningful to me

After having my classes shut down for six months, we just started dancing together outdoors.

And in the classes that I teach that are outdoors again now, a lot of the people in it are living alone.

Some of them are recent widows.

And they will talk about what happens when they hear a song that we dance to in class.

And they remember the feelings of connection and joy that it's like a lifeline.

I want to leave behind the memories of movement that people have had

in my yoga, dance, fitness classes, where they felt connected to something bigger than themselves.

I wanna leave behind those memories.

I believe in them, those experiences, and I'm really proud to leave those behind.

And the other thing I'll say is, like in terms of like my truths, the great thing about being a teacher, and I've mentored a lot of people in a lot of different contexts, is I have seen people who were my students become teachers.

And like I mentioned that compassion training,

that we developed at Stanford and then we train people to do it.

And just today in Facebook, I saw one of the first teachers we trained is advertising that she's teaching this program and I'm thinking, Oh my gosh, and she's such a good teacher and people would be lucky to take this from her.

So what I realize is you don't need me around anymore to talk about these truths.
