• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Emily Abadi here. You are listening to five
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Minute Friday from Hurdle and Wow, what a week that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: we have had with the going for It series. Don't
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: get it twisted. There are certainly going to be more
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: awesome stories that I will be recording and having during
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the Olympic and Paralympic Games. They will be coming to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the feed and I could not be more amped. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I thought that this was a fun way to kick
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: off such a special moment in sport, and also candidly,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for me, this is the first Olympics that I feel
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: like I'm really in my groove with both the podcast
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and the writing that I'm doing. I feel as though
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I actually have a seat at the table to have
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: really awesome and fun conversations. And so thank you for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: being a part of that, because without you, the Hurdlers,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't have that seat. Your listens, your shares, your
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: fandom of the show, your support of the show, the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: ratings and reviews in the iTunes store and the ratings
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and the Spotify app or wherever you get your podcasts.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I don't want you to think that they don't matter.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: They matter a lot.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So if you are listening to this right now, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you have yet to simply rate and review the show.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It literally takes under sixty seconds. Do it for me,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: pretty please. With that said, I write about this in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the newsletter this week, and if you're not yet subscribed
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to the Weekly Hurdle, I definitely encourage you to do
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: so you can slam that subscribe button in the show notes.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about a mantra that's really been resonating with me,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and that is the mantra I am made for this moment.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I have heard it somewhere before. I can't put my
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: finger on it, but I was sitting at my desk
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: feeling a little bit overwhelmed the other day, shortly after
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: interviewing Alison Felix for an article, and it came to me,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and it came to me very clearly, and by saying
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: that to myself and doing a few quick rounds of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: box breath, I was reminded of who the hell I am,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: which I could say in a different way, but I'm
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: keeping this PG here and what I am capable of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and all of the things that I have done up
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to this point that have paved the way for where
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I am. And then ultimately where I am going. I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: am made for this moment, and it is just one
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: routine that I have, these mantras, but it is one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that is very helpful. And I'm sure that you have
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: routines in your day to day that help you come
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: back to self, that help you remember who you are,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that help you feel more capable, whether it is making
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: time to move your body first thing in the morning,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: or prioritizing your own own personal mental health by speaking
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to a therapist regularly. Whatever the routines are that you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: execute regularly that help you feel good, those are worth
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: your energy.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You are worth your own investment.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And that is really the point of what I came
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: here to say this five minute Friday, This mantra I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: am made for this moment is really resonating with me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And I know that despite the ups and downs, the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: things that I can't even plan for if I wanted to,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the craziness that is on deck for the next two
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: weeks as I leave for Paris this coming Monday and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: spend the next two weeks doing something that I have
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: dreamed of doing for so long. This is all happening
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not only because I am made for this moment, but
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: because I took the time to invest in myself knowing
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that I am worthy of this investment, an investment that
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: arguably started back in college when I one day that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I was capable of putting myself first and beyond that,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: not only was I capable, but I.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Deserved to do it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So my prompter you this week, if you had to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: lean into one mantra that feels really good for you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: right now, what is it?
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I would love it. This is an understatement.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: If you would tag me in your mantras on social,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: let me know how many of you this is hitting.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Are you listening? I want to know what is one
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: mantra that really serves you right now? Share it with
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: me over on social. Make sure to tag at Emily

• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the listener question for this week, I do want to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: one more time give a huge, huge thank you to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: my sponsor at Element for sponsoring this special series on
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the show. For those of you that somehow are out
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of the loop. Element is my go to electrolyte drink
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: mix with everything you need and nothing you don't. It
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't have any of the sketchy glue in fillers or
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: other dodgy ingredients that you might find in other conventional
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: sports drings you'll grab at your local bodega, CBS seven
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: eleven or wherever. There is not a time that I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: head out on my bike that I am not bringing
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a long Element in tow. Specifically, right now, I am
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: all in on their watermelon flavor. It's my favorite summer sip.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But they do have a huge variety for every taste.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And just to reiterate, the purpose of Element is so
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that you are getting the electrolytes that your body needs,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so that I can carry out essential functions and help
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you perform your best, whether you are out on the road, running, biking, cycling,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: whatever you might be doing, or simply just trying to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: make it through your day. Now, they do have a
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: special offer for the Hurdle audience.

• 6:16
  Speaker 3: we should expect on the horizon for Hurdle. Thanks.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Before I answer this question, let it be known that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: this came through v Hello at Hurdle dot us email.

• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of work candidly goes into this and I hear this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: come out of my mouth and I'm making excuses. It's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: something that's on my radar. It's something that I would
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: love to do. It's something that I'm curious if broader
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: than this one person. I know the answer to this,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: But if there's an interest in this, if the show
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: was on YouTube, would you watch it? Would you watch
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: it there over listening to it on Spotify or Apple

  Speaker 1: Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Your feedback can
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: help me decide whether or not this is something that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I am able to or should be prioritizing in the
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: months moving forward.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: But I would love to be on YouTube.
