  Speaker 1: What's going on? Hurdlary's Emily A body here. You're listening
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to five Minute Friday from Hurdle. Another week we did
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: it fam. Last week was a week to be remembered.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: From shooting a global campaign that I can't wait to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: tell you about very very soon, to going to Orlando
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: for the Marathon Trials, to traveling to San Francisco to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: give a keynote at Athleta's corporate conference called Athletic Quest.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I had such a blast, and it was a special
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: week for me because it was a reminder of the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: depth of what I do in that there are so
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: many different opportunities I have every week, from writing an
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: article for GQ on the plane, to recording voiceovers for
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: the podcast editor in my hotel room at four fifteen
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: because of the time change in San Francisco, to then
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: stepping on stage and giving a keynote address for thirty minutes,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: then shifting into this facilitator mode where I first moderated
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a panel with members of their Power of Sheet collective
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and then facilitated goal setting workshops. So many different hats,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: so many different opportunities, and I feel really lucky that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: each of them fills up a bucket in a different
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: way for me. After I was done with the keynote
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday, I walked over to Gardenti in San Francisco,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and I have such vivid memories of going to this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: ice cream shop growing up. I grew up going to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and from San Francisco quite often. My grandparents lived in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Walnut Creek, and the last time I saw them both
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: together and alive, we went into San Francisco with my
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: cousin and we went to gear Deeli, and I distinctly
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: remember watching them walk holding hands ever so slowly from
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the car to the ice cream shop and splitting a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: chocolate fudge Sunday with chocolate ice cream, and thinking, one day,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I so badly wish that I too will have a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: love like this. Anyway, on Tuesday, as I sat on
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a park bench with my small Sunday overlooking the water
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and the Golden gate Bridge, all these memories they came
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: back to me, and I thought about how proud they
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: would both be of me now, how so much of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing was nothing that I anticipated, but still
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it feels so right, and I can envision genuinely like
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the smile on my Grammy's face as if I had
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to tell her about all of the things
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that I'm doing and in envisioning that, I feel so proud.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I feel proud that life thus far has not turned
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: out in any way of what I maybe thought it
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: would be at this point, but it's so rich. This
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: journey has been so rich for me, and I understand
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: now that the only thing that our loved ones ever
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: truly want for us is happiness. And how happy am
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I that I am this fulfilled at this point with
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: all that I have. It's easy to get into a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: place of self comparison, especially with all that is social media,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but I know this to be true. There is absolutely
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: nothing better than being proud of yourself, of your efforts
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and stafe, firm and who it is that you are.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And as I still evolve and grow and figure out
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff as I go, I know that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I'm on the right path and that feels really really good.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: My prompt for you this week, what's something that you're
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: proud of yourself for? What is something that you are
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: proud of yourself for? And now a listener question.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, Emily, I love that is the energy that you
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: put out? Is the energy that you attract, and I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was wondering, what type of energy are you putting out
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: right now and what are you hoping to attract?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Thanks, I love this question. I earlier today like popped
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: quickly on my Instagram story and I shared how excited
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I am for the upcoming travel and the marathons and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the sprint that is the next two weeks and doing
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: my best to be where my feet are and stay
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: calm and breathe and all the things. And it was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: excitement and raw and authentic, and I realized that that
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: excited energy was met with excited energy in return. And
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: so that is what I want right now. I want
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to be amped. I want to be around people that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are electrified by the work that they're doing and the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: relationships that they have and just goodness. That is what
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I am trying to attract in this world, and that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: is what I'm meeting my days with by choice. Make
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: sure you're following along over on social at Hurdle Podcast.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I'm over at Emily Avadi. And that's it for this week,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Another Hurdle conquered. Catch you guys next time.
