I will call 9 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: it a really unbelievable gathering of inspirational women, members of 10 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: the media, athletes, executives, entrepreneurs talking about the past fifty 11 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: years of the company and the future fifty. 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: Where we're going and how. 13 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: We can each play I would say an integral part 14 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: of that journey that we each have the opportunity to 15 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: be a role model for someone else. I was surrounded by, 16 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, just unbelievable humans, from Joe and Benoit 17 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: Samuelson and Lisa Leslie to Chloe Kim. We had an 18 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: unbelievable meditation led by a woman named Rebecca Price. Got 19 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: to finally connect with Tunday Irl. I mean, seriously, I 20 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: was just so in awe of my surroundings. A huge 21 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 1: thank you to Nike for including me in this event 22 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: and today's five Minute Friday Surprised to No One is 23 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: a reflection that I had from this week of programming. Specifically, 24 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: it was something that Lisa Leslie said in a session 25 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, and it was along the lines of if 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the play, then 27 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: you have to be willing to lace up your shoes. 28 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: This idea that if you. 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: Don't put yourself out there, then you'll never know if 30 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: you want to be a change maker, if you want 31 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: to be someone that is going to make a difference, 32 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: then you have to be willing to step outside of 33 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: your comfort zone and put yourself out there. And I 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: think so often it's easy, especially with the craziness of 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: social media, to look at what others are doing and 36 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: think like, wow, it's so cool that this person is 37 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: doing X or Y without giving yourself a little bit 38 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: of credit and being your own hype human, your own 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: hype woman. You know, there's that saying which is a 40 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: little comical, but we all have as many hours in 41 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: the day as Beyonce, and for me, I think a 42 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: lot about that, like what is it that I. 43 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,119 Speaker 2: Want to do in my life? 44 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: And am I putting myself in the positions and the 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: circumstances within my. 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: Ability to go after that. 47 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: And even if you're intimidated or scared or worried like 48 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: these are all valid feelings, but letting those feelings take charge. 49 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: Letting your fear be the thing that holds you back 50 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: from going after your big potential, it doesn't serve you. 51 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: So if you want to play in the game, if 52 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: you want to have an opportunity to step on the stage, 53 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: then you need to lace up your sneakers. It needs 54 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: to start with one small action, and that small action 55 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: can make a major difference. It's something I'm alling over 56 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: here thinking about what sneakers I'm going to grab to 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: lace up and get myself into some of the conversations 58 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,279 Speaker 1: to see to some of the tables that I'm excited 59 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: to be a part of going forward. 60 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: My prompt for you. 61 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: This week, where have you been holding yourself back?

A goal that 63 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: you have that maybe you've been a little anxious about 64 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to lacing up and going for it again. 65 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: What is a goal that you have on your radar? 66 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: How can you lace up and go after your big potential? 67 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: And you know what, while you're at it. While you're 68 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: thinking about this, I challenge you. 69 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: To put your goal into the universe. So maybe it's 70 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: on social tag hurdle podcast. Tag me over at Emily 71 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: a buddy. Let's type each other up. Let's be each 72 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: other's biggest hype men women. You know the gist and 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: now a listener question. 74 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: Hi, Emily, this is Greg in Orange County, California. Can 75 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: you talk us through some steps that you take to 76 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 2: reset after a bad choice? 77 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a night of. 78 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: Drinking, or you develoured those delicious chocolate covered pretzels like 79 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: you know, the whole bag. Talk us through how you 80 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: move forward mentally and otherwise. 81 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: Thanks the rare male hurdler question, Greg, thanks for listening 82 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: to the show. I love this question because it is 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: so easy to get down on yourself for a choice 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: that may have felt really good in the moment but 85 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: didn't make you feel super stellar in the aftermath. Your 86 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: example of like eating a whole bag of chocolate covered pretzels, Like, 87 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be the person that says that 88 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: that doesn't happen from time to time, but the importance 89 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: is that you have grease with yourself after you do 90 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: something like that knowing and recognizing how you feel in 91 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: the aftermaths, because that feeling, that attentiveness, that agency you 92 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: have the opportunity to take is what may prevent you 93 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: from making a similar mistake if that's what you feel 94 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: like it was the next time. So if you realize 95 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: and say to yourself, hey, doing that really didn't make 96 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,119 Speaker 1: me feel good, then the next time that you think 97 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: about leaning into an entire bag of chocolate covered pretzels 98 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: because of something emotional that might be going on or whatever, 99 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: or maybe you just wanted to, you might think twice 100 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: the next time. But the important takeaway that I want 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: here and obviously these decisions you know you mentioned a 102 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 1: night of drinking, It can be anything, right. It doesn't 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: need to be food or diet related at all. It 104 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: could be like a conversation that didn't go the right way, 105 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: or a business decision that just feels all sorts of wonky. 106 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: Like the important thing is that you have grace with 107 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: yourself when things don't go as planned or when you 108 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: quote unquote mess up, and understanding that each of these moments, 109 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: each of these hurdles, has the opportunity to teach you something. 110 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: Each of these hurdles can inform how you move forward, 111 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: and the idea of having grace with yourself. Life is 112 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: hard enough, so you need to come back to the 113 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: idea that we talk about from time to time on 114 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: the show, that inner dialogue, talking to yourself like you 115 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: would a loved one, thinking about how someone next to 116 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: you would feel if they heard the way that you're 117 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 1: talking to yourself. 118 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 2: Would you be. 119 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: Embarrassed by that? Or is this a place of harmony? 120 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: Is this a place of love? Are you giving yourself 121 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: the love that you give to other people? So have 122 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: some grace with yourself, talk to yourself as kindly as possible, 123 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: and recognize that every single second is a chance to 124 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: start over, a chance to start fresh and move On's 125 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: this week over at Hurdle Podcast at Emily a Body 126 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: on the Socials, Another hurdle conquered.
