• 0:21
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Everyone? Emily a body here. You are
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: listening to the first five minute Friday of season fourteen
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of Hurdle. What's up? I think today's a good opportunity
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: for me to do just a little bit of a
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: pulse check. How are you doing really moment and candidly,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty well. I'm feeling really fulfilled at the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: moment by my relationships. I went on a run earlier
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: today with an old friend who just got an exciting
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: new job, and we were catching up and she said,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: give me the highlights, and the highlights are. I feel
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: really lucky in my friendships right now. I feel really
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: fulfilled and really excited about the quality of people that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I have in my life, and for that I am
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: really really grateful. I have a fair amount of travel
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: on deck between San Francisco and Budapest and Shawmanie for
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: UTMB and Berlin and Chicago, and there is a lot
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of fun stuff on deck. On that note, if you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: are in San Francisco and listening to this in real time,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be hosting a shakeout run and a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: panel starting at five pm at the Fort Mason Festival
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Pavilion Number two Marina Boulevard. So if you're around, I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: want to join for a three mile community run followed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: by a forty five minute panel. I am here to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: tell you come hang out. You don't need to be
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: running the marathon this weekend. Just need to be down
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: for some good vibes. Okay, But back to the how
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Really? The purpose of this check in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: really for me is to talk about how to navigate
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: when things feel like I actually feel very on top
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of it right now. I feel in control. I feel
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: like I'm ahead of the game. I feel as though,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: even with all of this travel, my ducks are in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: a row and I'm moving forward accordingly. But that doesn't
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: mean that I'm not anticipating how I may feel in
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the week's, month, couple of months to come. There's just
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a lot going to be going down, and so I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: know that the best thing I can do for myself
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: is stay on top of the routines that keep me
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: sane to move forward. Regardless of where I am in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the world, I am constantly asking myself, what do you need?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: How can you take care of you in this moment?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And it's not a selfish question, it's a responsible question.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It is a responsible thing to take care of yourself.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: You deserve that energy. Hard stop period, end, exclamation point.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And so for me, that means making a conscious effort,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: even on the days where it may feel like a
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: little bit of an inconvene, to journal first thing in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the morning, making a conscious effort to do breath work
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in the morning, making a conscious effort to stick with
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: my workout schedule and stay on track because I know
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that no matter where I am in the world, I'm
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: going to be better for it. And then, almost most importantly,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: candidly making time to check in with my people, even
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: if that means a week ahead of time, setting aside
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a call with one of my closest friends. My people,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: my friends, my family. They keep me grounded and that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: interaction is so so important for me. So you want
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to know how I'm doing. Really, I'm good because I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: have these systems in place, and I stick to them
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: even when life feels a little like it's going off
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the rails. My question for you this week, how are
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you being good to you? How are you giving back
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to yourself? How are you planning to take care of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you going forward in the next week, the next month. Heck,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: for the next six months. Start thinking about that now.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And now a listener question, Hi, Emily, I just wanted
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to know what are your goals for the next five
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and ten years and even beyond that? Good one. You know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: if I sat here and told you all the goals
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that I have for the next five or ten years
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: would probably be here for a while. I would say
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: my biggest goal for the next five years is to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: buy property. And as awesome as it would be to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: invest or to buy an investment property, I want to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: buy a home at some point in the next five years.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I mean the big goal is to buy it after
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: my lease cycle is over, which would be in about
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: just shy of two years. I would really love to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: do that then. So that's probably my biggest goal, something
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that I want to speak into the world, and I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: know it's going to take a lot of financial planning
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and being really responsible and working really hard. Aside from that,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I say my other big goal for the next five
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: years is to figure out a way to regularly be
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: involved in charitable work or add a charitable aspect to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: my business. It's something that's really important to me giving
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: back and although I have donated to different causes, since
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: starting Hurdle, I want to figure out the right way
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to synergistically make this a part of what I do
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and build it into more of a regular routine. So
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I know that's going to take some dedicated thought on
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: my time, and I want to make sure that I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: invest the time because it is something that is really
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: important to me. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: say that there are some things that I hope for
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in the next five to ten years, like landing on
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a life partner and successfully crossing off the six marathon
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: majors from my bucket list, and also finally extending my
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: investment portfolio. I mean, there are a lot of things
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that I would like to do, but those aren't necessarily
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I would say the biggest goals on my radar. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: have some business goals, but for now, I'm going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: keep those ones tight to the vest. Isn't that a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: fun little phrase? Make sure you're following along with Hurdle
