What are the things, the little things that we can do in our lives to push our performance as people and partners, as citizens forward?

You know, whether that's getting better sleep or what if that's engaging in a mindfulness practice?

You know, what if that's shifting our diet and our nutrition, left or right, and sort of eating more sustainably for

Hey, Hurtlers, Emily Abadi bringing you episode 113 of Hurtle, a wellness-focused podcast where I sit down with inspiring individuals to talk about everything from their big wins to how they've gotten through some of life's toughest moments.
