1 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: What's going on? Everyone? Emily a body here. You are 2 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: listening to the first five minute Friday of season fourteen 3 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: of Hurdle. What's up? I think today's a good opportunity 4 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: for me to do just a little bit of a 5 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: pulse check. How are you doing really moment and candidly, 6 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing pretty well. I'm feeling really fulfilled at the 7 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: moment by my relationships. I went on a run earlier 8 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: today with an old friend who just got an exciting 9 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: new job, and we were catching up and she said, 10 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: give me the highlights, and the highlights are. I feel 11 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: really lucky in my friendships right now. I feel really 12 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: fulfilled and really excited about the quality of people that 13 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: I have in my life, and for that I am 14 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: really really grateful. I have a fair amount of travel 15 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: on deck between San Francisco and Budapest and Shawmanie for 16 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: UTMB and Berlin and Chicago, and there is a lot 17 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: of fun stuff on deck. On that note, if you 18 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: are in San Francisco and listening to this in real time, 19 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to be hosting a shakeout run and a 20 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: panel starting at five pm at the Fort Mason Festival 21 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: Pavilion Number two Marina Boulevard. So if you're around, I 22 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: want to join for a three mile community run followed 23 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: by a forty five minute panel. I am here to 24 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: tell you come hang out. You don't need to be 25 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: running the marathon this weekend. Just need to be down 26 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: for some good vibes. Okay, But back to the how 27 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: are you doing? Really? The purpose of this check in 28 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: really for me is to talk about how to navigate 29 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: when things feel like I actually feel very on top 30 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: of it right now. I feel in control. I feel 31 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: like I'm ahead of the game. I feel as though, 32 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: even with all of this travel, my ducks are in 33 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: a row and I'm moving forward accordingly. But that doesn't 34 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: mean that I'm not anticipating how I may feel in 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: the week's, month, couple of months to come. There's just 36 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: a lot going to be going down, and so I 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: know that the best thing I can do for myself 38 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: is stay on top of the routines that keep me 39 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: sane to move forward. Regardless of where I am in 40 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: the world, I am constantly asking myself, what do you need? 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: How can you take care of you in this moment? 42 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: And it's not a selfish question, it's a responsible question. 43 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: It is a responsible thing to take care of yourself. 44 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: You deserve that energy. Hard stop period, end, exclamation point. 45 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: And so for me, that means making a conscious effort, 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: even on the days where it may feel like a 47 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: little bit of an inconvene, to journal first thing in 48 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: the morning, making a conscious effort to do breath work 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: in the morning, making a conscious effort to stick with 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: my workout schedule and stay on track because I know 51 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: that no matter where I am in the world, I'm 52 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 1: going to be better for it. And then, almost most importantly, 53 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: candidly making time to check in with my people, even 54 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: if that means a week ahead of time, setting aside 55 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: a call with one of my closest friends. My people, 56 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: my friends, my family. They keep me grounded and that 57 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: interaction is so so important for me. So you want 58 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: to know how I'm doing. Really, I'm good because I 59 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: have these systems in place, and I stick to them 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: even when life feels a little like it's going off 61 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: the rails. My question for you this week, how are 62 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: you being good to you? How are you giving back 63 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: to yourself? How are you planning to take care of 64 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: you going forward in the next week, the next month. Heck, 65 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: for the next six months. Start thinking about that now. 66 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: And now a listener question, Hi, Emily, I just wanted 67 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: to know what are your goals for the next five 68 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: and ten years and even beyond that? Good one. You know, 69 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: if I sat here and told you all the goals 70 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: that I have for the next five or ten years 71 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: would probably be here for a while. I would say 72 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: my biggest goal for the next five years is to 73 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: buy property. And as awesome as it would be to 74 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: invest or to buy an investment property, I want to 75 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: buy a home at some point in the next five years. 76 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: I mean the big goal is to buy it after 77 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: my lease cycle is over, which would be in about 78 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: just shy of two years. I would really love to 79 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: do that then. So that's probably my biggest goal, something 80 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: that I want to speak into the world, and I 81 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: know it's going to take a lot of financial planning 82 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: and being really responsible and working really hard. Aside from that, 83 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: I say my other big goal for the next five 84 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: years is to figure out a way to regularly be 85 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: involved in charitable work or add a charitable aspect to 86 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: my business. It's something that's really important to me giving 87 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: back and although I have donated to different causes, since 88 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: starting Hurdle, I want to figure out the right way 89 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: to synergistically make this a part of what I do 90 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: and build it into more of a regular routine. So 91 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: I know that's going to take some dedicated thought on 92 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: my time, and I want to make sure that I 93 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: invest the time because it is something that is really 94 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: important to me. Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't 95 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: say that there are some things that I hope for 96 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: in the next five to ten years, like landing on 97 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: a life partner and successfully crossing off the six marathon 98 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: majors from my bucket list, and also finally extending my 99 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: investment portfolio. I mean, there are a lot of things 100 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: that I would like to do, but those aren't necessarily 101 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: I would say the biggest goals on my radar. I 102 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: have some business goals, but for now, I'm going to 103 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: keep those ones tight to the vest. Isn't that a 104 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: fun little phrase? Make sure you're following along with Hurdle 105 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: over on social It's at Hurdle Podcast.
