Some days, even the strongest people feel a little worn down. That’s the moment Kim Kardashian found herself in when a recent episode of The Kardashians revealed surprising news about her health. What started as a routine scan quickly became something far more personal.

Kim first learned she had a small aneurysm, which left her shaken and scared. When she returned for a follow-up scan, Dr. Daniel Amen shared even more troubling results. He told her that the front part of her brain showed “low activity,” which could make handling stress even harder.

This became the turning point of the episode. Kim pushed back at the diagnosis, insisting it couldn’t be right. But the doctor explained that chronic stress—like her long divorce from Kanye West and the pressure of studying for the bar exam—might be playing a big role.

Kim admitted she has been carrying a heavy load while chasing her dream of becoming a lawyer. She has already passed the “baby bar” and continues to study, even after failing the most recent exam. Her determination shines through as she refuses to give up on the path her father once walked.

Though the scan was a harsh wake-up call, it may also be the moment she needed to slow down and care for herself. And like many of us juggling big responsibilities, she’s learning that strength sometimes starts with listening to our own bodies.
