Kendra Adachi built her career around a tension she knew firsthand: the strain of trying to do life well without being consumed by performance. Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, she has said that apart from three semesters at a college one town over, she never really left her hometown. She went to college intending to become a high school English teacher, and her first job after graduation was at the church where she had spent her high school years and had recently gotten married. Those early experiences, together with what she later described as lifelong perfectionism tempered by age and therapy, formed the emotional backdrop for the voice that would become The Lazy Genius.
