| 0:00.0 | Okay everybody, Emily Body here, you're listening at 2-5 minute Friday from Hurtle. |
| 0:26.1 | Whether you've been here for a long time or you're new to Hurtle, I am so happy you're here. |
| 0:31.7 | And thank you for being here. Thank you for giving me your time. For 5 minute Friday, |
| 0:37.2 | a little reminder of how it goes down here. I share a story from my week, something that happened |
| 0:42.8 | to take away that I had from that thing. And then I answer a listener question. Of course, |
| 0:50.8 | I would love to answer your listener question. So if you have one, please submit it in the show |
| 0:57.2 | notes. There's a link that says, ask me a voice message. I would love to answer it on an upcoming |
| 1:03.2 | episode. This week, the story I want to tell you is about a busy morning. I believe it was on Monday. |

| 1:47.9 | perfume bottle was broken and perfume was all over my bathroom tile. So I went and got the |
| 1:57.2 | dustpan and cleaned it up and thought to myself, this sucks. And then I had a moment where I giggled |

| 2:13.2 | going to smell like Chanel Gabrielle. Wow, no rhyming intended there for a minute. |
| 2:21.0 | And then I also thought, this is your opportunity to try something new to get a new scent. And |
| 2:26.4 | that's kind of fun. I haven't done that in a minute. I digress. It's not always easy to shift |
| 2:33.6 | your perspective like that. And I know that example kind of sounds a little silly in nature, |
| 2:40.3 | but it's applicable, right? Everything that happens for us on a day-to-day basis, |
| 2:45.8 | it can be hard, it can be challenging, we can do it anyway. And it is happening for us. I truly |
