1
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, Emily a body here bringing you another installment

2
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: of five Minute Friday, the first for season six. I

3
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: feel like I've been having to do that a lot lately.

4
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been having to take a lot

5
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: of deep breaths because I have been living in like

6
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: a state of overwhelm, which is to be expected because

7
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: I in under a week am moving from the Upper

8
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: east Side to Brooklyn. I'm changing Burrows. It's something I

9
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: never expected in my life that I would be living

10
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. And work is also super hectic. With last

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: week's special series, there was a lot going on, and

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: it just has life new challenges for me each and

13
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: every day. So it's interesting because for the most part,

14
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: I would say in the weeks leading up to now,

15
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: in the week's leading up to my move, I've been

16
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: really excited. I felt really purposeful with this. I felt

17
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: very sure of my decision. Last week, I went to

18
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: go measure the apartment and it was the first time

19
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 1: that I went there that the apartment was completely empty.

20
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: When I initially saw the space, there was a couple

21
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: still living there, and so I stood in the middle

22
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: of the apartment and I'm just like looking around me

23
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: kind of an awe of the fact that this is

24
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: going to be my space, and it's going to be

25
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: my home, and it's something that I always dreamed for

26
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: myself but just never really thought was going to happen.

27
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: I left the apartment and I went for a walk

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: around the neighborhood, and I stopped and did some work

29
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: at a cafe for a while, and just sitting there

30
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: and looking around me and seeing the people that were

31
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: walking by, the kinds of people that were walking by,

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: I felt truly at home. I felt like there was

33
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: so much promise about me being in this place and

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: spending time in this place in the weeks going forward.

35
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: But I digress, because Thursday morning, I went on a

36
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: run and I decided that I wanted to run down

37
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: Library Way in Central Park, which is kind of in

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: the middle of Central Park near the Big Fountain. A

39
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 1: lot of movies are filmed there. And I literally get

40
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: to the top of Library Way and I'm starting to

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: run down it, and emotion just completely overtook me. Like

42
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: I expected to feel some kind of way, maybe because

43
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't run there often and it's quintessential New York,

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, I just was crying, and

45
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: it felt literally like uncontrollable, and it just hit me

46
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: all at once that I have spent ten years in

47
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, ten years, and I get it. Moving to

48
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: Brooklyn isn't like me moving to Los Angeles, but it's

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: still a really big change for me, and it's a

50
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: really big change that I'm undertaking on my own. You know,

51
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: when I moved to the Upper east Side, a big

52
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: part of it was because of the cost, but it

53
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: was also because I had a lot of friends in

54
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: the area, and me moving to Brooklyn has nothing to

55
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: do with who's in Brooklyn necessarily, but more so, what

56
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: was an opportunity for me in that space, What I

57
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: could afford in that space, what I could make my

58
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: own in that space. And so super emotional on my run,

59
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: stopped to literally cry for a minute. And I also

60
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: couldn't help but think about all the memories that I've

61
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: made uptown. I've been uptown for so long. All of

62
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: my New York memories are rooted here. I fell in

63
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: love three times at least while living here. I built

64
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: my business here, I launched this podcast. I commuted so

65
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: many days from here, and so it's just it's a lot,

66
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: but I know this to be true, that that emotion

67
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: really instilled in me that I am nowhere and you're

68
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: ready to leave the New York area anytime soon, although

69
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: I certainly wondered that at times briefly during the pandemic,

70
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: and it also reaffirmed to me the idea that you

71
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: can be both scared and excited at the same time.

72
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: And a good friend reminded me yesterday that I'm in

73
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: the driver's seat right and Brooklyn is the next chapter

74
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: in my story, and I get to decide what success

75
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: there looks like and even how long I stay if

76
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: I don't love it. Not that I'm not expecting not

77
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: to love it, but if I don't love it, I

78
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: can grow from that experience and I'll be ready to

79
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: move on to whatever the next chapter is after that.

80
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: This is a big opportunity, and again, it can be

81
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: both scary and exciting, but it's one that I know

82
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: in my soul is the right one for me. Prompt

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: for you this week, what was the last thing that

84
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: both made you equally excited and absolutely terrified? Again, what

85
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: was the last thing that made you equal parts excited

86
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: and absolutely terrified. Highlights of the week this week are

87
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: actually all going to be podcast listens. I figure, since

88
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: you're listening to this one that you stick with me

89
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: week after week that you won't mind that much links

90
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: to all this stuff in the show notes. First up,

91
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: two goodies on Armchair Expert. In the last week and

92
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: a half, we've got Alexi pop Us and then Thursday

93
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: morning they released Prince Harry, which I swear I thought

94
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: that it was going to be a joke or something,

95
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: but it's really Prince Harry on Armchair Expert. You've heard

96
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: it from Alexi Papas on the show before, so I

97
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: won't explain too much, but I really appreciated the way

98
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: that her and Dak Shepherd bounced off one another and

99
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: his ability to pull things out of Alexi that I

100
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: haven't heard yet, So I really loved that. As for

101
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Prince Harry, I mean he compares his life as a

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: royal like being on The Truman Show. There are so

103
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: many interesting tidbits in this interview. Definitely definitely give it

104
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: a listen. Also of Highlight, Glennon Doyle released a podcast

105
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: this week. It's called We Can Do Hard Things. I'm

106
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: really interested to see how she is as she falls

107
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: into this new role of podcasting. She brings in her

108
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: sister Amanda to chat on the show, and I really

109
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: just love the organic chemistry between them, and I think

110
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: this is going to be a really fun and exciting

111
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: new chapter for Glennon. And again that podcast is called

112
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: We Can Do Hard Things. Another good listen is Chandler

113
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: Smith on Trained Whether or not you're in a CrossFit.

114
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: Chandler Smith he is the top performing black male crossfitter

115
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: and he's got some really great perspective on how we

116
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: can realize our big potential, so to speak, both in

117
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: sport and in life. He's an Army soldier and he

118
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: talks with past hurdler Ryan Flaherty about everything from his

119
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: favorite junk food to his secret it's to keeping cool

120
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: under pressure. And now a listener question.

121
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: Hi, Emily, So you always have the most impressive closet

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: purges and as you prep for a move and I'm

123
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: assuming another closet purge, I'm wondering if you have any

124
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: solid mass follow tips for the rest of us. Congrats

125
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: and good luck with your moves. Thanks.

126
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Ooh, this is literally what's on deck for me this weekend.

127
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: Great question. So, I think the classic Marie condo takeaway.

128
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: If you pick something up and it doesn't bring you joy,

129
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: get rid of it. I don't know every piece of item,

130
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: every piece of clothing that I'm going to pick up,

131
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: is going to bring me a lot of joy, so

132
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: that tactic doesn't work for everything. But if there is

133
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: something I have not worn in a full calendar year,

134
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: and trust me, I have plenty of that stuff, that

135
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: is kind of my barometer. I don't know if that's

136
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: the right word in this instance, but that is what

137
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm be saying. What's coming with me to Brooklyn and

138
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: what's not coming with me to Brooklyn. I realize that

139
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I haven't worn a full length running tank top. I've

140
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: been wearing more cropped length running tank tops with high

141
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: waisted shorts and tights. I have worn a full length

142
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: running tank top in maybe a year, which is insane.

143
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: So that means that I don't need to bring twenty

144
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: of them with me in my move. I'm also just

145
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: tossing stuff that I have better versions or new versions of.

146
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: So I literally went through a basket of twelve umbrellas

147
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the other day. I used two of them. I tossed

148
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: ten dishes that I've had for eight to ten years

149
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: that are completely scratched up, that have come with me

150
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: to not just one, not two, not three, but four apartments.

151
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: M it's time to get some new ones. And when

152
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: it comes to organization, what I've come to learn is

153
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: I have a lot of sneakers, and some of them

154
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: I had been storing in a lower shelf on the

155
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: bottom of my closet behind some backpacks, well keeping them there.

156
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: I realized I don't use them, and if I'm not

157
