Summary
“You be you, because at the end of the day you will only always have you.” Damn. What a statement from today’s Hurdle guest Gabi Butler. Gabi is a cheerleader and star of the NETFLIX series Cheer, which debuted its second season just a few days ago. We talk about it all: Her early days in cheer and Navarro, her work ethic and how much she appreciates coach Monica and the Navraro family, as well as her newfound relationship with God and how it helped her through the darkest months of the pandemic. Gabi brings such a positive and grateful attitude toward all of her experiences — good or bad. Her sentiments are a great reminder of how to look at your passion as a stepping stone in life to better let go of roadblocks and appreciate successes.
