I imagine that it's gonna be challenging over the next year

as I kind of settle into a new phase of life for me,

but I have so much gratitude for everything that it's been.

And I think that if I didn't feel some type of way,

I think that's just an expression of how much I loved it.

Hey, everybody. I'm having a dance party over here. Emily, a body bringing you the first episode of season 12 of hurdle.

I, my goodness, if you told me four and a half years ago when I started this show in my

fourth floor walkup on the upper east side with nothing and no expectations,

but to try something new that we would be over 530 episodes deep.

And I would have had the opportunity to talk to some of the most outrageous humans and learn from them.

Yeah, I don't know if I would have believed you.

I can't believe we're here, but I'm so happy that we are.

And I'm so grateful that you are along for the journey.

If you're out of the loop and you are listening to this voice right now,

then you are officially a herdler.

That's what I call my audience.

And again, I am back today bringing you season 12.

You are listening to hurdle.

A wellness focus podcast,

where I connect with everyone from your favorite athletes to top experts in industry CEOs about their highest highs,

toughest moments and everything in between.

We all go through hurdles in life.
