  Speaker 1: What's going on? Everyone? Emily A body here back in
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: your feet today for five minute Friday. Man, what a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: week it is freezing here in New York. You know.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It's funny. I feel as though, because we've had such
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a mild couple of weeks in this transition to winter,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that when the temperatures are exactly how they are supposed
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to be for this time of year, we act like
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it is literally the apocalypse, at least I do. Anyway,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: for today's episode, I just I had a really beautiful
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: moment about an hour ago that I wanted to share.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: So this morning I went to a podiatrist and talked
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: about this ongoing battle with planter fasci idis. For anyone
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: who may not be up to date on my foot problems, cute,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I know. I've been navigating pretty rough plant fascia idis
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: for the last handful of months. I had it at
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the beginning of my lending training cycle, it went away,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and then it came back with a vengeance, and since
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the London Marathon, I have been really just struggling with it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Some days I feel totally fine. Other days I'm limping
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: around most every day. Come four or five o'clock, I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: am in some sort of discomfort, and so I made
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the decision that I was finally going to seek out
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: another tool beyond physical therapy, which brings me to this
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: morning at the podiatrist. So she told me I have
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a few options. I'm not going to get into the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: logistics behind the options, but I basically left feeling kind
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of defeated and just a little frustrated because I have
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this thing, it's not going away, and it's going to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: be really expensive to do something about it. I have
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: been so diligent about my physical therapy exercises and like
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: taking the time to take care of me, and still
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: like I'm in this place. With that said, I think
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you can probably tell by the nature of my voice,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I've been feeling frustrated about this. But I sat down
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: at my desk like fifteen minutes ago, and I was
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: so happy despite having this like frustrating day, because I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: was thinking about how lucky I am to have really
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: great friends in my life. And my mom adopted a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: dog yesterday, which is over the moon exciting. Her name
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is Abby. We've never had a dog, I say we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: as though like we lived together, but growing up I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: never had a dog. So this is the first dog
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that's been a part of my family. I love the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: holidays in New York, and like the smell of the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: cold today just made me feel super cozy and nostalgic.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: There were just so many things that despite having this
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like hectic and frustrating morning and feeling just disappointed a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: little bit, that I felt really proud of me that
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the residual feeling at the end of the day is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: gratitude and contentment. And I'm reminded that it's a choice
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and it can be both. Right, you can have a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: frustrating moment and also come back to gratitude. You can
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: have a frustrating moment and also come back to gratitude.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And so for me, moving into the weekend, I have
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of things to look forward to. I'm actually
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: headed to Las Vegas for a little bit of a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: work trip, and then it's the holidays. So one thing
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: at a time, one breath at a time, one step
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: at a time, and for now, I move forward thinking
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: about the decisions that I have to make with a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: good perspective and a good head on my shoulders. My
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: question for you this week is what's a little silver
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: lining for you right now? In your life, and if
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: it has to do with someone else, you make sure
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you tell them that they matter to you. What is
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a silver lining in your life right now? And now
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: a really great listener question. If you had to pick
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: one pasta dish that describes who you are as a person,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what would it be and why? This listener question is
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: only second to the listener question that I got asking
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: me what my favorite donut was. This is a profound question,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: one that I am grateful for, so thank you. Okay,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a pasta dish, I will say that I almost want
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to go answer this question and be specific about the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: type of If I was just a type of pasta,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I think that I would say I'm cavatapi. Not super popular,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: but think of it as like a spiral longer macaroni.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I just love the shape. I feel like it's fun.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'd like to think that I'm fine. But if I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: am a specific dish, I am, without a doubt, the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: bolonaise from bar pre MEI with subbing the pennae for bucatini.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And that's because this dish feels It feels like a Sunday,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: it feels like home. It makes me feel warm and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: content and like all of my problems are non existent,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and it makes me truly happy. And I would hope
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that I can be like a Sunday for someone, maybe
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for some of you, but maybe more specifically at some
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: point or another, a romantic partner at some point. So yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm Bucatini with bolonaise. That's who I am. Oh my god,
• 6:02
