1
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: What's going on? Everyone? Emily A body here back in

2
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: your feet today for five minute Friday. Man, what a

3
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: week it is freezing here in New York. You know.

4
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: It's funny. I feel as though, because we've had such

5
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: a mild couple of weeks in this transition to winter,

6
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: that when the temperatures are exactly how they are supposed

7
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: to be for this time of year, we act like

8
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: it is literally the apocalypse, at least I do. Anyway,

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: for today's episode, I just I had a really beautiful

10
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: moment about an hour ago that I wanted to share.

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: So this morning I went to a podiatrist and talked

12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: about this ongoing battle with planter fasci idis. For anyone

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: who may not be up to date on my foot problems, cute,

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: I know. I've been navigating pretty rough plant fascia idis

15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: for the last handful of months. I had it at

16
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: the beginning of my lending training cycle, it went away,

17
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: and then it came back with a vengeance, and since

18
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: the London Marathon, I have been really just struggling with it.

19
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Some days I feel totally fine. Other days I'm limping

20
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: around most every day. Come four or five o'clock, I

21
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: am in some sort of discomfort, and so I made

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: the decision that I was finally going to seek out

23
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: another tool beyond physical therapy, which brings me to this

24
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: morning at the podiatrist. So she told me I have

25
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: a few options. I'm not going to get into the

26
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: logistics behind the options, but I basically left feeling kind

27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: of defeated and just a little frustrated because I have

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: this thing, it's not going away, and it's going to

29
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: be really expensive to do something about it. I have

30
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: been so diligent about my physical therapy exercises and like

31
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: taking the time to take care of me, and still

32
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: like I'm in this place. With that said, I think

33
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: you can probably tell by the nature of my voice,

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: I've been feeling frustrated about this. But I sat down

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: at my desk like fifteen minutes ago, and I was

36
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: so happy despite having this like frustrating day, because I

37
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about how lucky I am to have really

38
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: great friends in my life. And my mom adopted a

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: dog yesterday, which is over the moon exciting. Her name

40
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: is Abby. We've never had a dog, I say we

41
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: as though like we lived together, but growing up I

42
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: never had a dog. So this is the first dog

43
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: that's been a part of my family. I love the

44
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: holidays in New York, and like the smell of the

45
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: cold today just made me feel super cozy and nostalgic.

46
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: There were just so many things that despite having this

47
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: like hectic and frustrating morning and feeling just disappointed a

48
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: little bit, that I felt really proud of me that

49
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: the residual feeling at the end of the day is

50
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: gratitude and contentment. And I'm reminded that it's a choice

51
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: and it can be both. Right, you can have a

52
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: frustrating moment and also come back to gratitude. You can

53
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: have a frustrating moment and also come back to gratitude.

54
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: And so for me, moving into the weekend, I have

55
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: a lot of things to look forward to. I'm actually

56
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: headed to Las Vegas for a little bit of a

57
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: work trip, and then it's the holidays. So one thing

58
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: at a time, one breath at a time, one step

59
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: at a time, and for now, I move forward thinking

60
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: about the decisions that I have to make with a

61
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: good perspective and a good head on my shoulders. My

62
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: question for you this week is what's a little silver

63
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: lining for you right now? In your life, and if

64
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: it has to do with someone else, you make sure

65
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: you tell them that they matter to you. What is

66
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: a silver lining in your life right now? And now

67
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: a really great listener question. If you had to pick

68
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: one pasta dish that describes who you are as a person,

69
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: what would it be and why? This listener question is

70
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: only second to the listener question that I got asking

71
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: me what my favorite donut was. This is a profound question,

72
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: one that I am grateful for, so thank you. Okay,

73
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: a pasta dish, I will say that I almost want

74
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: to go answer this question and be specific about the

75
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: type of If I was just a type of pasta,

76
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I think that I would say I'm cavatapi. Not super popular,

77
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: but think of it as like a spiral longer macaroni.

78
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I just love the shape. I feel like it's fun.

79
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that I'm fine. But if I

80
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: am a specific dish, I am, without a doubt, the

81
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: bolonaise from bar pre MEI with subbing the pennae for bucatini.

82
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: And that's because this dish feels It feels like a Sunday,

83
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: it feels like home. It makes me feel warm and

84
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: content and like all of my problems are non existent,

85
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: and it makes me truly happy. And I would hope

86
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: that I can be like a Sunday for someone, maybe

87
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: for some of you, but maybe more specifically at some

88
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: point or another, a romantic partner at some point. So yeah,

89
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm Bucatini with bolonaise. That's who I am. Oh my god,

90
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm so curious to know what your pasta dishes are.
