| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, Emily Abadi popping in with another installment of 5 Minute Friday from |
| 0:24.5 | Hurtle. Today on the show, I want to recognize and hold space for anyone who is just feeling |
| 0:32.8 | really overwhelmed by everything that's going on in the world. And I think that the subject |
| 0:38.3 | of today's 5 Minute Friday, the story that I'm going to tell you guys may really resonate |
| 0:42.7 | with you if you two are feeling like things are a little out of your control at the moment. |
| 0:49.6 | So this week, I want to talk about asking for help. And it's something that I know that |
| 0:55.6 | I'm not really good at doing. I think it goes hand in hand with like being an entrepreneur, |
| 1:00.4 | being a confident single woman in my early 30s. Like I like to do things on my own when I'm going |
| 1:06.7 | through something or struggling through something, whether it's like an actual project or it's |
| 1:10.5 | just an emotion. I try to figure out how to navigate these moments on my own. With that said, |

| 1:34.3 | X. It would really mean a lot to me if you could do Y and articulate what that Y is, articulate how |
| 1:41.5 | the people that care about me can support me because I know that they really want to. |
| 1:45.6 | So let me bring this in and talk about how this showed up for me this week. This week, |
| 1:52.0 | I lost audio that I was hoping to use on the show. And it was a really stressful moment for me |
| 1:58.9 | because I'm an editorial calendar and I like have set this reasonable expectation that you are all |
| 2:04.2 | going to open up your podcast app every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. And there's going to be |
| 2:08.1 | an episode of hurdle there. And I didn't have backup audio. Like I didn't have a backup conversation |
| 2:12.8 | that I could bring here. And I felt really stressed and nervous and like, what am I going to talk |
| 2:18.3 | about? What's going to happen? Et cetera, et cetera. Now I've asked the community here on the show |
