• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I have just gotten to this point where I've given
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: myself so much grace and I just firmly stand now
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in this no square pegs round hole with friends, with relationships,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: with work. I am willing to work, for sure, but
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I want to work in a place and work on
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: things that feel good. And life's too short for anything else.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: What is happening everyone? I know you're excited. A surprise
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: episode in your podcast feed on a Wednesday. This conversation
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: is a special one that I had out in Paris
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: where I got interviewed by my girlfriend and I call
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: her my co pilot, Lauren Nemorov.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Lauren is a hurdler first and foremost.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: She's also the founder of a creative agency here in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: New York City along with her partner Sean, called Flow
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: State Creative.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: And we met almost three years.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Ago now when she was a photographer on a job
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: that I was the host of for Strava and she
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: came up to me introduced herself. Fast forward a few months,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: she applied to run on the La hurdler team for
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the marathon and sadly in that process of training, got injured.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I asked her, Hey, would you rather come out as
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a photographer.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: She said yes.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Fast forward another year and Lauren had left her full.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Time job doing something else to.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Go headfirst into this creative agency with her partner. And
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I am so blown away by not only all of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the work that they've done, the clients that they've landed,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and yeah, it's just remarkable. But in today's episode, Lauren
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: turns the mic on me, asks me a bunch of
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: questions about the work that I was doing in Paris,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: how I'm feeling right now, what I'm excited about moving forward,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and so much more so, if you like it, make
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sure you share it on socials, you share it with
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a friend, make sure if you haven't yet read it
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and reviewed the podcast, we would love follow up long
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: over at Hurdle Podcast.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And with that, let's get to it. Let's get to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Hurdling Today.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I am sitting down with a woman who needs no introduction,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: mostly because this is her podcast, not mine. Emily Abodi, heym.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: How you doing? Hey, Lauren Namro, how are you doing?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we should probably let them know who's speaking. I'm great,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I'm really excited about this.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I'm excited about this too.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I am honored to be interviewed on my podcast, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I truly can't think of anyone better to do it
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with me than you. For those that are listening, Lauren
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: has been here with me as we record this in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Paris this week, as we have been collaborating and working
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: out of athletas power of She Space here and it
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: has been remarkable and we have been on a journey
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: here together. Lauren herself is a photographer and also owns
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: her own creative agency in New York City called Flow
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: State Creative, and has been helping me not only on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: this project, but on a handful of other projects over
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the past couple of years.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Dream Team, Dream Team, Meme Team.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I think it's we should start by giving the hurdlers
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit of context about our week here in Paris.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: We are on day six, and it feels like it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: has flown by. Let's give him a little bit of
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: an inside scoop on the past week, what we've been up.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: To, a little bit of an inside scoop. So we
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: are on day six. That is insane to say it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: has flown by in such a blur, But I have
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: had the honor of sitting down with I think six seven,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: eight women so far. Oh my goodness, we have been
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: recording for sure in this space, everyone from Athleta's chief
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: marketing officer, Alona Amen, to stellar athletes like Natalie Coughlan,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Katie hoff Anderson, Monique Billings.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, the list goes on right.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So many unbelievable women feel so privileged for this opportunity
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and to be able to have a space to record
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in has been truly phenomenal during this major moment in sports.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And then beyond that, I mean, over the next week,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: there's just more more to come. And I mean this
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: doesn't even touch the surface of the other things that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: we've had. The other awesome opportunity to do. From working
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: on content shoots both video and photo, a lot of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: outfit changes have been had, so many, so many outfit changes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: so much fun though. And then of course, beyond the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: work that I have the honor of doing here with
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Lauren with Athleta, I'm also writing, reporting, pitching kind of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: really leaning into og journalist Emily, working with some outlets
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that I've worked with before, like Marie Claire, but also
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: pitching ideas from what shows up for me from Woman Health, GQ,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Outside magazine.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: A lot of crazy stuff. The days have been long.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: That's an understatement, long but quick at the same time. Yes,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: we've just been in it literally running around.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Paris and biking.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know what we would have done this
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: week without the without the line bicycle.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Shout out to line sponsor the show.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Actually, though, I want to talk about and I want
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: to come back to the interviews, but I first want
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to talk about your journey getting to Paris, because I
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: know that it was I don't think process is the
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: right word, but I think that your story surrounding how
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you got here and what you're doing here is so
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: incredible and so inspiring. And I know you're going to
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: touch on this in a little bit so we don't
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: have to dive too deep into it. But I know
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that from my POV watching you get here has been incredible,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: so I would love for you to touch on that
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks, lare so here in Paris. I decided about.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit over a month ago, to just
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: say I'm going to bet on myself. I have been
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: having some really great conversations over the last few years,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: knowing that the games were coming up, that I wanted
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to be here in some capacity doing some of the
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: things that I love. I love hosting, I love writing,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I love moderating, I love podcasting. There are so many
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: different things that I get to do as a part
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of my career that really excite me, especially during as
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I've already said this really once in a lifetime moment
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in sport, and candidly the first Olympic Games that I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: knew i'd have a capacity to show up at because
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of what happened with everything in twenty twenty and so
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: here I am.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: A month ago.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I booked my own trip and I said, I'm going
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to come. I'm going to do as many interviews as possible,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going to write as many articles as possible.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try to record with whoever wants to record.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: With me, and booked a flight and a hotel, and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: then within a few days of doing that, got this
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: all awesome call from Athleta that not only did they
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: want to work together this week, but also enable me
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: and empower me to show up and basically do everything
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that I've dreamed of doing. And so I came in
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a handful of days earlier than originally slated and had
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: these awesome women to sit down with and have been
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: booking guests and running around, like I said, and really
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: just trying to be as much of a yes woman
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: as possible. I am someone who really loves to own
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: my know in that I believe firmly that owning my
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: know enables and empowers me to really focus in and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: put my energy into the things that excite me and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: gives me more bandwidth to do so. With that said, like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: this isn't once in a lifetime thing, and so I'm
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a little more willing to just push it to the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: absolute limit, give all of this, all of my energy,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: all of my bandwidth, try to prioritize the things that
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I know that I really need.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: To prioritize so that I can show up. But I'm yeah,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm a yes woman right now.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, And I can attest to that because we
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: have done everything. Even when I wanted to take an hour,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: She's like, Nope, we're leaving.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: We're leaving right now. No doing it, We're going.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: It's been incredible.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I think something that is so humanizing and relatable about
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the process that you went through to get here is
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: that sometimes on social it looks as though like you've
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: got it all, You're doing everything these opportunities are there,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: but realistically, you're working your butt off to make these
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: opportunities happen. And it starts with that, just unwavering belief
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: in yourself and knowing that if you're here, you're going
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: to do some really epic things. So tell us a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: little bit about that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, I really think that I got to a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: point about a month ago where I didn't want to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: rely on anyone else anymore to facilitate my dreams and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: my goals.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And I say that with a.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Lot of compassion, understanding, and appreciation for so many of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the brands that I have the opportunity to work with.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Right they have empowered me to do some of the
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: most amazing things, and it is through their help and support,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: both through dollars and also just through collaboration. Because there's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: so much to be said for the opportunity as a solopreneur,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: if we'll call it that, to idate with other people
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on a large scale, and so there's so much to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: be said for how much I appreciate the opportunity to
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: collaborate with other brands. But I realized that my desire
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: or passion for how I thought that it should be
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: or how it would be was the exact thing that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was holding me back from doing something that I was
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: entirely capable of. I knew that I was entirely capable
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of doing so many of the things that I am
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you're doing this week on my own, and.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: It would have looked different. But that's okay.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I had to let go of the shoulds so that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I could empower myself to just be me, to just
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: do the things that I know that I'm good at
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, and execute in that way.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: It's amazing, and it's been again an honor to have
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: just a front row seat to watching you do your thing,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: because it really is incredible. I want to kind of
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: circle back, double click if you will, on really Fun
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: using all of my ords. I am, I am, this
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: is fun. We talked about the what was it seven
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: eight women that you've had podcasts with while you've been
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: in Paris.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: And like the just incredible, amazing women.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And you're no stranger to interviewing incredible people, but I
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: think that there's something very special about being here in
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Paris with these women who've experienced the games, or they've
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: been surrounded by it, or they're playing a really large
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: role in supporting and empowering women who are at the games,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: like our athletic team that we're working with. I want
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: to hear a little bit about your biggest takeaways from
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: interviewing these women, because these conversations have been incredible. So
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: what have you personally taken away from these interviews?
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: My god, you know, there are certainly some repeat themes
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: that come up with so many of these individuals, because
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: these are all people who have excelled to such an
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: extent and chased their own potential in a way that's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: so admirable, and so they have similar points of view
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that are required of such an elite level of talent.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I would say the first one that comes to mind
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: is that failing isn't the end of the world, and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that you have to go into whatever it is that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: excites you, go after any big goal that you are chasing,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and understand that failure doesn't mean that you have lost
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: it all. Failure simply means that you have the opportunity
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: then to learn and then use that as information going forward.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I think about the conversations that I had with Alona,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: or even with Katie hoff Anderson, both of who very
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: different individuals and that Katie was an Olympic swimmer and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Alona is the chief marketing officer here at Atleta. But
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: they both had so many beautiful takeaways when it came
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to navigating failure on their own terms and on their
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: own journeys. For Alona specifically, she had this takeaway that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: really resonated with me. That was that we have the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: opportunity to fail fast, right, and so instead of dwelling
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: on that failure, yes, experience and say, yes, feel all
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of the feelings, but then yes, use that as information
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to inform what could later be your biggest win. So
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: certainly that is definitely a big takeaway from the woman
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that I sit down with. And also the importance of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: holding yourself accountable to your boundaries, knowing that you have
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to have boundaries and that maintaining those, whatever
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they may look like, is going to be something that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: may be difficult at times in the moment, but in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the long term is going to be something that's truly beneficial.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You are not selfish for having boundaries. In fact, you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: are a better person for knowing how to value and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: upkeep your own time. And so I would say fail
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: fast know that failure isn't an end all, and then
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: also the importance of those boundaries and maintaining them for
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: yourself so that you cannot only show up for yourself,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: but also for the people that you care about.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Period.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I think that you know listening to these conversations which
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: are going to be coming to the feed shortly.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: The way you just geeked out internally about saying the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: words coming to the.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Feed, coming to the feed, dropping on your wherever you
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: get your podcasts. No, I think you know the watching
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: you and these conversations. As you mentioned, there's a lot
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: of common themes and threads across, Like you said, from
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Alona to Katie, like it's it's very interesting to watch
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: these conversations unfold and see how vulnerable they are and
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: talking about their struggles and the ways that they are
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: overcoming them. I think it's incredible. They don't have to
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: tell you that, oh, I had major imposter syndrome when
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I went up onto this stage, or I was going
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: into this conversation, and they're so open about it to
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: share their experiences and then giving us those actionable takeaways.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I would love to kind of just recap a little
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: bit of what that looks like and what resonated with
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you the most other than kind of what you just mentioned.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I know imposter syndrome was huge one that we talked
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: about briefly, but I thought that conversation was just so
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: powerful and so relatable.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the greatest opportunity as a podcaster and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: candidly just as a human being is to help.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Someone feel seen and to make someone feel seen.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And a huge part of podcasting, as much as it
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: is interviewing, is truly just listening and giving someone the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: space to not only say what's on their mind, but
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: then almost marinate in that for a second and perhaps
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: say something else. And it's in those moments of silence
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: which I have now become more comfortable with. I'll never
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: say I'm entirely comfortable, but I recognize that so much
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: good can come from those reprieves in the conversation that
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: can be really monumental when it comes to the takeaways
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that the listener leaves with. As far as the takeaways
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: from this week, I really did love that bit unfailing.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And I also do feel like the conversation that we
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: had on imposter syndrome on at least two of the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: different episodes was really I want to say, it was
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: just really like a breath of fresh air and that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: no matter where you are in your life, there are
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: so many times where you may feel alone. But the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: reality is is that whether you are a beginner at
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: something or a total veteran, both of those women, both
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: of those individuals can still have the same shared experience
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: in that you may feel alone and like you are
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: an impostor, and that comes when you feel a shake
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: in your own confidence. You can do something hundreds of
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: times and know that foundationally you are good at it,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that there aren't going to be
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: nerves and some sort of anxiety when you show up
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: to the task at hand.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And so I think it is a really.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Awesome opportunity when I have all of these very woman
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: on the show who can speak to their experiences, reminding
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: us all that again, we are not alone in how
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: we feel, and it makes it feel like a little
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: bit more of a family despite so many people listening
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to this from two hundred and twenty plus countries around
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I think this leads me nicely into my
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: next question, which we chatted about briefly. Earlier, but reflecting
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: on this experience and all of the things that we've
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: just spoken about, what advice would you give your younger self.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Let's say you're twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven year
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: old self, knowing what you know now, I was.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Raised in a family who's not always do good like
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: just be a good person, do good by people. It
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: makes all the difference. You don't have to be mean
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: when you're being firm. You can be kind and firm,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: And I know now that it is so important to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: just be a genuinely good person, and that will just
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: get you so far in that Again, so many people
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: just want to feel seen, and you can make someone
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: feel seen in the context of business, and you can
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: also make someone feel seen in the context of your
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: personal relationships. And so if I had to sit down
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: with my twenty five year old self, I would just
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: remind her of the importance of being a good person
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and trusting your moral compass and believing that there is
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: so much out there for you all that you have
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: to do, aside from work hard, to stay true to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: what you know is important, which is being a good person.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I also believe that I tell my younger self at
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: this point, whatever you feel is the thing that you're
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: failing at or the thing that you could be doing
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: better or insert problem here.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, like life goes on right.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And so it doesn't mean that the hard moments that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: happen that maybe there's a letdown, or maybe you feel
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: like you made a mistake, or maybe that you feel
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: like you're failing like it doesn't mean that, though feelings
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: that go hand in hand with.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Those instances aren't entirely valid.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But what it does mean is that you get to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: get up and do it again tomorrow. And so if
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: something doesn't go to plan, if right now you're feeling
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: like you have no idea what you're doing with your life,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: how you're managing, et cetera, just trust that if you're
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a good person and you remember that you get to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: wake up tomorrow and do it again and make a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: new impression and put your best foot forward, then you
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: know that's all you can do.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I want to talk about Obviously, you don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: get to this place without hard work and consistency, and
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: throughout this week you have maintained a level of consistency
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: considering all of the factors, including jet lag an insane schedule,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: inconsistency across the board. You have woken up every single
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: day and gone on your run and done your pet
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and gone to the gym and done all of the things.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: And I have just watched.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: You or listened to you as I was sleeping, head
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: out the door and hold on to those moments for
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: yourself that you know that you need. I want you
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: to tell us a little bit about that. How you
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: make that happen, especially when you just really do not
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: feel like it.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good question.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I know foundationally that movement first thing in the morning
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: is imperative for me, and it doesn't.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Need to be the same every day.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Like this morning, you and I went on a twenty
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: minute walk around the neighborhood, right, and.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That felt great.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It felt great for me to greet the day by
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: getting fresh air, being outside. And I know that is
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: how I fill my cup up so that not only
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: can I be good for myself, but then pour into
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: others beyond that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I just have this.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Firm sense of self belief that giving back to myself
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: is a non negotiable period, hard stop. And so for me,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in my case, giving back to myself is moving my
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: body more often than not, journaling, which has been a
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: little tricky this week.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And then also just finding the time to take a breath.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, I got into this space where I was just
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: feeling like there was so much that we needed to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: get done, and it just didn't feel like there was
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: enough time. And I literally walked into our bathroom in
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the room and took three deep breaths, and then I
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, like, you have the opportunity to do
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: this now, so like, let's just focus on what's in
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: front of you and do one thing at a time.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: On another note, I mean when.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: It comes to routines, this goes back to that conversation
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: on boundaries, like it's a non negotiable for me. It's
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: a non negotiable for me so much so that I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: think about it within the context of like my entire life.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I think about one day who maybe I'll end up with,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and that that person is going to have to support
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the fact that my morning routine is important to me.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I think it about it and the fact that of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: who I partner with, right, I'm not saying that if
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for me that's at six am, then
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I'm always going to wake up at three point thirty
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and start my morning.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: No, of course not.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: But I just have a genuine understanding of what works
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: for me and that sticking to that is what makes
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: me feel my best. And I say this a lot,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: but where there's a why, there's a way, and like
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I have such a why to why I like to
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: do the things that I do first thing in the morning,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: knowing how it makes me feel that because of that,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it becomes a non negotiable.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been incredible and something that I've I've observed
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: and admired about you throughout this process, and it does
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: it does help when you know what you need and
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: you know what's going to set your day up for success.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: I think that you have so many conversations about a
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: morning routine, So if that is something that you are
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: looking to to establish and you're not sure where to start,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: like you figured that out and I think that's also key.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: And I also think it's important just to note that like,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: for instance, last night, we didn't get back to bed
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: till late, like probably twelve thirty or one am. It's
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: bizarre in Paris that it's light until like nine thirty
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: at night, so that feels like that's when it's time
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to go to dinner. Otherwise in the States, I'm sleeping
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: by nine thirty, like ninety nine point nine percent of
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the time. With that said, we got back at one
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and then like we had work to do starting at
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: seven fifteen this morning, So there wasn't going to be
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: my traditional morning routine. And there's grace for that, Right,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I'm very cognizant of what it is that I need.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: There are going to be days where I'm feeling run down,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: candidly by Monday morning of next week, maybe like I'm
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: looking forward to like not setting an alarm finally. But
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I think that so many times we hear the concept
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: of this like eighty twenty, right, And so I know
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: that if I give myself that eighty percent, then the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: twenty percent, like it's kind of irrelevant, right, It's what
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: you're doing eighty percent of the time that's really going
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: to inform holistically how you feel, how you show up,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and how you move.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I want to shift the conversation just a little bit
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: back to Paris. We've been seeing so many remarkable stories
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: about women in the space, these athletes, but also women
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: surrounding the athletes, surrounding the games, and how they are
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: working to empower all women, whether you're an athlete or not,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I want to know what you think brands can be
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: doing better to support women in sport.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: It's a big question, I know, and I hate that
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: My first response is dollars. It's going to start with dollars, though,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: because women need dollars so that they can perform and
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: execute in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, capable,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and empowered. It is through financial support that opens doors
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: that may not be open otherwise.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: So I do want to start.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: There, and then beyond that, I would say that there's
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: an opportunity for brands to just make her feel more seen,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: make her feel like she has a seat at the table.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: So whether that is through experiences that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Are open to all different types of individuals, women of
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: all different backgrounds, of all different socioeconomic status, of all
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: different races, religions, et cetera. Providing them the space to
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: come to together and feel seen in an environment where
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: they can can come together in community, I.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Think is super vulnerable.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I think that's why I personally feel so passionate about
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to participate in live experiences, especially ones that
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: foster conversation in community, because making someone feel seen, if
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: only in a short period of time, can have a
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: really beautiful domino effect, and that domino effect enables them
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: to then go back into their communities and perhaps provide
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that same space to someone else that maybe didn't have
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the same time or bandwidth to go to whatever that
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: woman just went to. I think it's providing spaces for
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: women to feel seen through community events.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: It's dollars, and.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Then beyond that, if we're going to talk about like
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: really investing in women, it's also size inclusivity, right, Like,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: we want to make sure that she feels supported from
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: what she wears for her sports broad or what she
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: wears for her bottom, and that she doesn't feel like
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: a burden because something isn't available in her size or
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: isn't available that makes her feel comfortable and confident. We've
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: seen such really great innovation in the different ways that
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: product is available to us now, from different tech features
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: to pockets and things like that. And so in order
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: to power her, you need to provide for her. So, yeah,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: it starts with dollars, it goes to providing safe spaces
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: for her to feel seen and heard and also gather
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: within community. And then of course it comes down to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: product and making her feel supported by how she feels
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: in what she's wearing to do whatever it is that
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: makes her feel empowered, motivated, healthier, happier in all the.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Things, all the things, all the things.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I'm stealing this from the US Women's Natural Team social channel,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: so it was a good one. Who are you fan
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: growing over this week at the Olympics? My god, too
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: many to count, too many to say.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: So many to say.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: I am certainly not the only person that is going
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to say this answer. Alona from the US woman's rugby
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: team is on fire right now. She is hilarious. I
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: just followed her on the socials like so many other people.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I wish I knew what her follower account was at
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the top of the Olympics, because she's at two point
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: seven million time and she is popping off beyond her
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so many rock stars in this Olympics.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to sit down with Reagan Smith
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: before the Olympics, and she was such an amazing interview
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and I've loved watching her. No surprise, I mean, obviously
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: fangirling over Simone and Katie Ledecki, she Carrie, come on,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and we have to give some love to Gabby Thomas.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Gabby Thomas is one of the most eloquent, gracious.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Beautiful human beings.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to speak with her this year
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: at Camp Strava, and she just has the best hurt
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and so I'm really rooting for her in these Olympic Games,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: of course, Like there are some guys I'm excited, but
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you know me powers, she woman all the way, so
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: so many female rock stars. My heart broke for Cocoa.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I really wanted her to move forward. Yeah, there's just
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: so many, so many stellar stories both on the field,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: on the track and the pool wherever you might.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Be so exciting and it's so exciting to be around
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: the energy of it on the grounds here.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like we should talk about that a
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: little bit, like to describe it like everyone.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Is just happy.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like you walk into the street and there are
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: people that are repping all different colors for their countries.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: They're walking around.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Like it is literally like the equivalent of the Fourth
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of July, but for whatever country they're going to rum
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and the vibes are high, like there are people pouring
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the street. If something's going on in the Olympics, you
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: will know because like there will be cheering coming out
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: from the bars. Yeah, and you literally last night we
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: got out of a car at nine thirty and I said,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: we heard the cheering, and I audibly said to Lauren
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and said, I wonder what's happening. And someone's like, it's
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: men swimming, and everyone is just here to be supportive
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and excited. And so it's a really great feeling just
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to feel and extremely safe. Like I feel so safe
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: here right now. Yeah, I just I love it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: It's been incredible.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: And I will say, you'll walk outside and if you
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: are curious as to what's happening, you can just turn
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: your head because there's normally a screen within a three
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: foot radius of you playing the Olympics. And it's incredible,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I will say, being here and just feeling the energy.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: The epitome of the Olympics is just togetherness and connectedness
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: through this common language, if you will. And it just
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: feels so incredible to be able to experience it, and
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: just it's just togetherness at its core, and it's just
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: beautiful to watch and I feel personally incredibly grateful to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: be here and to experience it firsthand. If you've ever
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: been to like a watch party in your own city,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: it's like times that by one hundred and every race, religion,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: every country is there all root for, you know, this
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: common goal of just of what would you call it?
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Competition and achievement and empowerment, and it's just beautiful. What
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: are you most excited about in the next few months
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: after the Olympics and beyond, And there's so much going on,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: so I want to I want to know.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I know I have a really exciting project coming up
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: for the Paralympics actually, which I can't talk about Justine, Okay,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I will be back home for a bit. I'm really
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: amped because in between the regular Olympics and the Paralympics,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: I'm also running this relay race called Hood to Coast
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: in Oregon, which I have wanted to do for a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: very long time.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm amped on that.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Speaking of running, I've been a little bit on the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: injured list for a moment, just dealing with some annoying
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: tendonitis in my foot.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I'm really working.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: On it diligently, and I am amped because I also
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: may or may not have signed up for the New
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: York City Marathon yesterday, So I'm elated about the marathon.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: And then, speaking of marathons, I'm also so elated to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: be joining the team down in Savannah for every Woman's
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Marathon in November. I believe the race is November sixteenth.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: On November fifteenth, I'm going to be at their Wellness Festival,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: not only hosting on stage with their team Milk Ambassadors
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and Captains, but also facilitating goal workshops. We talk about
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: coming together in community and how much that opportunity means
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: to me, and so I'm so stoked to be doing
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: that with women as they prepare for a big moment.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I think there's so much.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Alignment that happens when you are working toward a big
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: physical goal and you start to think about the things
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: that excite you off the roads or wherever you might
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: be in your pursuit of that. And so to be
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: able to do that during this big moment for women
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: is something that.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Really makes me geeked.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: There's so much to look forward to, and I hear
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: myself say it and I'm like, wow, like how awesome
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: is this? Like it's just truly so awesome that I
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: get to show up and do so much of the
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: stuff that excites me regularly. Also a forty eight hour
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: trip to Rome after my next care switch.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I'm very excited.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: It's fun to just touch down in Italy for a
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: second and have some meat time.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: So you have nothing going on, reiling, nothing that you're excited.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Nothing I'm excited about right now.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: That's incredible. I think it's very inspiring again to just
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: hear all of the things that you're doing and all
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: of the ways that you're empowering the people around you.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: That is all I had.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Unless there's anything that you would like to say before
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: we sign off.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Oh man, yeah, I'll be back with another episode.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Talking about the bed on your Self era, I think
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: there's like a lot of like mental gymnastics that went
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: into that and a lot of self talk that I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: used to help get over the hurdle of holding myself back.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say that it's something that just
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: goes away, right. There's always going to be a different
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: internal dialogue that comes to fruition when we're talking about
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: going after things that excite you, but or to come
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: on that and then overall I am devastated. Is a
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: strong word. I am less than please that Lauren.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Is leaving me. Well we'll go it devastated.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Lauren is heading out. She will be gone for many
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: days by the time this goes live. But it is
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: truly being a person that mostly works as a solo
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: act and like I said, does have the opportunity to
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: do some collaboration.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: It can be a really lonely experience.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: My why is what keeps me grounded when I do
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: feel that way, and to have you here with me
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: this week has been like just such I'm gonna cry.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It's been such a dream god, so.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Emotional, and so I am like not excited for you
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: to leave. I'm not excited for you to leave because
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: that I have to do it on my own. But
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: you don't, you know, but I don't.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And so I am just like I can't imagine like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: doing half of the things that I've done this week
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: without you. Actually I can't imagine doing them without you,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: but it would have been very different, mostly for emotional support.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: So I'm so grateful for you.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: And I just want to finish by saying that to
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the Emily who a year ago thought that she needed
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to have everything figured out. A year ago to be
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: sitting where I am in this moment. I have so
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: much compassion for you. I get it, but sometimes you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: just need to do the things that are within your
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: control and be a little bit easy when things aren't
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: going as you'd hope. To understand that whatever is supposed
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to click, whatever is supposed to be, will be, and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: forcing a square peg into a round hole just isn't
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: something that serves you. And I think that, truly is
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: just one of the biggest takeaways that I've had specifically
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: over the last few months, is like, if it's just
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: too hard, take a walk physically, and like also like
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: just don't stick on the things that feel like there's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: just so much friction.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Going after what it is that you either think that.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: You should be doing or something that you really want,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Like that just might mean that it's not a no,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: it's just not a right now. And so I have
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: so much compassion for myself a year ago, and like
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in the months leading up to when I made this
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: decision to just go for it, because candidly, I was
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: like feeling as though I had failed and ultimately I
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: was just putting so much pressure on myself. And so
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy that what's happened has happened, and I'm
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: so looking forward to whatever it is that really happens next.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: It's not a no, it's just not a right now. Yeah,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: and I think that's amazing.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's something that I also take with me
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: when it comes to asking guests on the show gal like,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: I'm so, I've sat down with so many remarkable people,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: and some of them at first ask said no, and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: you have to respect their boundary and you can revisit it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: But if the worst thing that happens is something that
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: someone tells you no, then you're exactly where you started.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: And candidly where you started probably.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Isn't that bad.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: I think the two things I hear also is don't
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: give up, don't stop, don't stop working towards that just
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: because it's not happening right now doesn't mean that it won't.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: It might happen a week before there's something that you
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: want to do. I mean, there's truly no timeline. You
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: don't know what's going on in other people's schedules.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and candidly, like, you don't know your timeline ninety
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the time, isn't going to
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: align with someone else's timeline. And so both on both
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: sides of that, like if you're the person who is
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: at making me ask, if you're the person who's being asked, like,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to have compassion.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: For that a little bit.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: And so I have just gotten to this point where
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: I've given myself so much grace and I just firmly
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: stand now in this no square pegs around.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Home with friends, with relationships, with work.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I am willing to work, for sure, but I want
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: to work in a place and work on things that
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: feel good.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: And life's too short.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, anything else, it's patience, it's determination, total, it's not
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: giving up.
• 37:05
