| 0:00.0 | What's going on, everyone, everyone, Emily Boddy here. You are listening, reunited with Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. You know, it's so funny. The season breaks happen. And as much as I know, because you let me know that you love Mondays, when Fridays aren't in the feed, this is what I get the messages about |
| 0:39.9 | from all of you. So I'm happy that I make something that you enjoy as part of your weekly |
| 0:45.3 | routine. And I'm also happy that it's back for you today. Man, what a crazy couple of weeks. |
| 0:53.7 | I feel like there's so much I could say here. I talk a little bit |
| 0:56.9 | or write a little bit about my feelings in today's edition of the weekly hurdle. If you don't |
| 1:02.8 | get the newsletter yet, it's absolutely free. And you could receive it in your inbox every single |
| 1:07.9 | Friday. So make sure you tap on over to the show notes and make that happen. |

| 1:17.6 | feeling really capable. The days were insane, feels like an understatement in Paris. |

| 1:40.7 | make time to write in the morning, do the things that I knew would fill my cup up so that I could |
| 1:46.7 | then pour back to myself and to other people. I'd often be up by 715 and then wouldn't go to bed |
| 1:55.1 | until after midnight. That's not my normal by any stretch of the imagination. But I felt as though so much of what I was doing |
| 2:03.5 | was so purposeful that I was flexing every muscle and skill that I have worked on over the last |
| 2:12.5 | decade simultaneously, from podcast recording and interviewing to hosting a live event, to networking and |
| 2:22.1 | meeting individuals, to interviewing for articles that I was working on, to pitching ideas |
| 2:28.1 | to outlets. Some of them knew I wrote my first items for outside on this trip to then creating content with Lauren and making |
| 2:37.0 | videos and writing captions and storyboarding and being creative and fun and different inventive |
| 2:43.5 | ways, right? Like so many different things were happening and they were all happening simultaneously. |
| 2:48.8 | And I couldn't help but reflect even in the |
