• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Emily A Badi here coming to you from the Age Studio.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You are listening to five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: am in a great mood today. I feel as though
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: things are just working for me right now. And I
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: don't want to say that to brag, but I want
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to say that to put some context into just what
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: has been happening for me. I felt as though in November, December, January,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: February I was going through the trenches, and now that
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I can say that I am on the other side
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: of a lot of frustration and anger and to be
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: really candid sadness, I feel empowered and hopeful and excited
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: and those are all just really really great adjectives. I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: took a meeting this morning quite early, at seven thirty,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and I decided, because it was such an early meeting,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: that I would take it while on a three.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Mile walk Chef's kiss.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It was amazing, Okay, so cool, glad I summarized my
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: mental state for all of you. What I actually want
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to talk about this week on five Minute Friday is
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: perspective and my beautiful moment of perspective this week, aside
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: from the amount of gratitude that I just shared with
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: all of you came from my dear friend Willy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Now you may.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Remember Willie because he was on the show a few
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: months back. Willy Valderrama, I will link his episode in
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the show Notes was diagnosed with MS last year. He
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: went from not being able to walk and being in
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the hospital two months later, training for and ultimately running
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a marathon. His story is absolutely beautiful and I'm so
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: grateful because meeting him and recording with him brought him
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: into my life now as a dear friend, both him
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and his girlfriend Ali, And so Willie and Ali and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I got together earlier this week and we were bonding
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: over whiskey and tacos, chatting about the pandemic, and Willie
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: said something that literally made me chuckle.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: He said, you know, the pandemic has really worked for me. Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: This is the same man who was diagnosed with MS
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic. And he was talking about how at
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the very beginning of when everything started to shut down,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: he was being paid while not having to work in
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the capacity that he used to have to and he
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: was able to breathe a little bit, and the that
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: time is when he got into running and In his words,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the MS was just kind of like a sidebar to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: all of the good things that were happening in his life,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and man like it made me really take a step
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: back and reflect. Right, I just talked about this small
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: time period, these few months where I felt as though
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I was personally struggling. But when I think about things
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and really try to find some perspective, how lucky am
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I in the scheme of life that I have so
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: much beautiful opportunity and goodness surrounding me. And I say
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that also not to downplay that if you are in
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a moment of sadness or struggle, that you're not entitled
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: to feeling all of those feelings and experiencing them in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: their wholeness, because that is critical for you to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: able to process and then ultimately move on. So feel
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the feels, but then if you can, once you get
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to the other side of that moment, find some perspective,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: recognize how lucky we are to have the things that
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: we have within our life, and that we have every
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: single day. The choice to make a lot of decisions,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: the choice to be in control of how we react
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to our feelings, the choice to go after our potential
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and do things that excite us.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: And so thanks Willie for my necessary dose of perspective
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: this year.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I am so so grateful that this man's in my life.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: A question for you, my thought prompt of the week,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Who is someone in your life that you are really
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: really grateful for?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And why?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Who is someone in your life that you are really
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: really grateful for and why?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And now a listener question, how do you look so
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: good all the time?
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Like running from a workout or a run to a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: call to a meeting for and your hair, makeup and
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: clothes always amazing?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Well, if this isn't flattery, I really don't know what is.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: This is a very nice compliment, although I will tell
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: you that the secret to quote unquote having it all
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: together is really just having the same stables that you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: go back to time and time again, and also having
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the right attitude. With that said, I'm gonna let you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: in on my essentials toolbox. This is really big. The
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: dry shampoo I swear by is R and Co. They
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: have a dry shampoo called Death Valley. I believe the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: smell of it is heaven. I also never leave home
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: if I'm gonna do a sweat and then like continue
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: on with my day and I have a place to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: put my things. I'll never leave home without the dry shampoo.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I have a travel size of my go to perfume,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: which smells like Santall thirty three from Lalabo, but it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: actually from a company called Mason Louis Marie. I believe
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that's how you say it. It's their number four. It
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: is divine. I also firmly believe that my face needs
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: three things period. The first thing is a brow I
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: swear by the Benefit brow gel. Then I must must,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: must use the Cover Girl outlast Extreme Where foundation, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: last but not least, I use either the Nars Climax
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: mascara or the Ilia mascara.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And that's it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: As for hair, I'm all about a low bud post workout,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a little of that dry shampoo, coma back, and you're
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: good to go. Curls can be saved, but that is
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: not something that I can explain on a podcast. So
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: if you want to see how I save my hair
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: after a sweat, go find me on TikTok.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I'm over at Emily a Body.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I feel like that was kind of a cop out
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: for answering a listener question it was like a nice
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: compliment that I just elaborated on. But I'm here to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: answer what you really want to know. So if you
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: have more listener questions, I am here to answer them.
