Hurdle with Emily Abbate

Latest Episodes:

235. Lauren Fleshman, Runner, Entrepreneur & Author of 'Good for a Girl' Jan 09, 2023

Show notes

What a week it was here on Hurdle to kick off the year with our annual Turning the Page series. We’re getting back into the regular swing of things today with episode 235 featuring Lauren Fleshman, one of the most decorated American distance runners of all time and author of the book Good for a Girl, which comes out tomorrow, January 10.

I really appreciate Lauren’s way with words in our discussion. From sharing her experience with depression to talking about the height of her running career, the descriptions instantly bring you back with her to these life moments in such a special way. She also talks about her experience as a sponsored athlete, how it felt to write her book during such an isolating time for the world in a pandemic, and her hopes for women in sport for the future.

#HURDLEMOMENT: Goal Setting 101 With Dr. Cheyenne Bryant Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Goal setting can be super intimidating, and you're not alone if you're not entirely sure where to start. I'm connecting with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant, a psychology expert and life coach who knows a thing or two about going after big things. We get into what you ~need~ to do before you set a goal, the important list you should make when writing yours down, and tap into the real purpose of them — finding happiness. Plus: How to know when to walk away from a goal, what to do if you hit a hurdle mid-pursuit, and the important must-do thing for once you've conquered your big to-do.
