‘I was extremely overworked’: Kendall Jenner, 26, reveals she took on too many jobs after she started modeling at 14 which gave her anxiety

Kendall Jenner worked very hard when she first started modeling at age 14.

And then the 26-year-old felt burned out as she had little time for herself once she signed contracts with Calvin Klein and walked the runway for Chanel while traveling the globe.

‘The things that I accomplished, even my job, at one point when I was younger, I decided I wanted to be a model. I didn’t stop until I was 24, then I was like, “Okay I think I need to take it back a notch,”‘ she told Jay Shetty on the On Purpose podcast.
