Hey, everybody, Emily Boddy here. You are listening to Five Minute Friday from Hurtle. Good morning. Hi. What a week. I, if you follow me on social, maybe you're in the loop. If you don't, I'm bringing you into it. On Wednesday of this week, I hit a very important, beautiful, wonderful career milestone in that my first ever cover story was released.

The story is for Marie Claire, and it is on Shelly Ann Fraser Price, who needs no introduction, but just in case you need a reminder.
