1
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Emily a body here. You are listening to

2
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: five Minute Friday from Hurdle. I am sitting here in

3
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: the studio. I am being stared at by my friend's puppy,

4
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: who I am babysitting only until tomorrow. His name is Frankie.

5
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: If you follow me on social maybe you've seen him.

6
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking about how grateful I am for my community.

7
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: A month or so ago, a girlfriend said to me

8
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: that just because you are building something mostly on your

9
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: own doesn't mean that you need to do it alone.

10
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: And that really stuck with me so much so that recently,

11
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: as I've been thinking about what excites me, what I

12
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: want to do moving forward, and really brainstorming about the

13
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: future of this podcast as you listen to it, I

14
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: decided to call in a group of my girlfriends and

15
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: have a meeting of the minds. I spent part of

16
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: my work day on Tuesday or writing down all of

17
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: the questions that I had, writing down so many of

18
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: my thoughts, writing down single words that came to me

19
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: when I think about where I'm going, what I'm heading,

20
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: what my goals are, And to have the opportunity to

21
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: have these women over and sit down and come together

22
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: in community and to feel so supported in something that

23
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: they didn't have to do, but they chose to do

24
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: it with me.

25
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: It felt so special.

26
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: And I think about that sentiment, you don't have to

27
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: do it alone.

28
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: How applicable is that for so many of us.

29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about those of you who

30
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: work for yourself, or maybe you're an only child, or

31
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: perhaps you are someone that has a goal that doesn't

32
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: necessarily require anyone else. That doesn't mean you can't welcome

33
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: your crew, your people into the fold to help you

34
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: get through the things that inspire you, the things that

35
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: are important to you to get to that next goal.

36
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: I've talked so much on the show about the importance

37
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: of accountability buddies when it comes to working out. And

38
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily mean that you're showing up at the

39
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: gym and someone is there with you each and every other.

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: Day, if that's your cadence.

41
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: But what it does mean is that you're opening up

42
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: about your journey to someone that makes you feel seen,

43
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: someone that makes you feel comfortable. I am totally on

44
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: the same wavelength that oftentimes I want to do it

45
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: on my own. At least I want to show myself

46
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: that I can. But what happens when you open yourself

47
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: up to the community, to your community, is that you

48
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: realize how special it is to do it together and

49
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: that the people that want to see you win, those

50
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: people are going to make the process so much better.

51
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: Hard stop, You don't have to be so strong all

52
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: the time.

53
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: It's not easy to let go of that facade if

54
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you will, but I promise you, just like strengthening a muscle,

55
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: this is something that requires reps, and you won't regret

56
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: putting in the reps. You won't regret allowing your people

57
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: to show up for you and the things that excite you.

58
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: So to my village, thank you. And my question for

59
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: you this week is what is something right now that

60
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: you are handling on your own and transparently doesn't need

61
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to be that way. Are you shutting people out for

62
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: no particular reason at all? And how can you harness

63
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: the support of the people that care about you to

64
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: better go after the things that light you up? And

65
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: now a listener question. Hey, Emily, it's been inspiring to

66
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: see you conquer pull ups. It's making me want to

67
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: work toward achieving that goal for myself. This is a

68
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: bit random, but I remember you used to wear a

69
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: Whoop pretty regularly before. I was curious as to why

70
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: you stopped. I'm debating different fitness trackers, especially for the

71
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: recovery benefits, so I wanted to get your opinion about

72
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Whoop or whatever else you feel like serves you. Thanks

73
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: so much in advance, Christine. Hey, Christine, So I wore Whoop.

74
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I want to say for about three years. I woren't

75
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: religiously around the beginning of the COVID pandemic, and I

76
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: loved the information that Woop gave me. I still believe

77
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: that Whoop is a valuable piece of technology, But what

78
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: I realized was that when the summer came around, as

79
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: someone who is also a devoted Apple Watch user, I

80
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: didn't want the tanlines from either wrist wearable. It's kind

81
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: of as simple as that. Not only did I not

82
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: like the sensation of often feeling like I was kind

83
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: of handcuffed between the two, so to speak, I also

84
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: take my Apple wash off in the sun, and so

85
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: I would take my Whoop off in the sun, and

86
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I felt like I was missing out on some of

87
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: the data, the information, etc.

88
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: That I wanted from wearing.

89
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: That device because of this choice because of the tanlines,

90
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: a complete vanity reason. So I switched to or ring

91
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: a few years ago. I don't have any personal relationship

92
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: with or ring, but I like it because.

93
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: I don't mind a ring tanline.

94
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate the data that it gives me. I believe

95
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: that the day is very comparable to what you're getting

96
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: from Whoop. My only downside of the orr ring is

97
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: that I take it off when I'm doing heavy lifting,

98
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: so whereas with the Whoop, it's designed that you don't

99
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: really need to think about something like that unless you

100
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: have to flip the device around to do something with

101
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: a kettlebell. I'm taking the or ring off completely as

102
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: to avoid scratching it up when I'm doing something like

103
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: barbell deadlifts, barbell squats, overhead presses, kettlebell swings that kind

104
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: of stuff.

105
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: Am I that concerned about that? Not so much.

106
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: I like the idea that I'm wearing it a lot

107
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: more regularly than I was wearing the Whoop previously. And

108
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: of course, there are a slew of other wearable options,

109
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: including Apple Watch, which I said I wear all the time, Garmins, Corros,

110
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: Amaze fit La, Gabby Thomas, the list goes on, so

111
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: do your research figure out what feels right for you.

112
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,800
