Summary

Chinae Alexander isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Something that could be a little unnerving when 138,000+ people are following her every move on social media. The self-proclaimed entrepreneur and undeniable female badass had a #hurdlemoment of her own after losing 70 pounds, realizing that weight loss didn’t guarantee happiness. In episode eight, she talks about the power of looking within, how she reads (and responds) to thousands of messages each week from total strangers, and how one landmark job rejection changed her life forever.

0:00.0	Welcome back to hurdle, a podcast that talks to top entrepreneurs and badass humans who got through a tough time in their lives, a hurdle of sorts, by leaning into wellness.
0:11.8	My name's Emily Abadi. I'm a certified trainer, run, and spin coach, also a writer, editor, and podcaster living in New York City.
0:19.7	On today's episode, I sit down with Cheney Alexander, an ultimate girl boss entrepreneur
0:26.0	and social media influencer extraordinaire with, wait for it, 138,000 Instagram followers
0:35.7	in counting, I know it's real. Who stumbled upon one of her many
0:39.6	hurdle moments after losing 70 pounds. On today's episode, I'll talk to her about her
0:45.8	astounding social empire, how Arnold Schwarzenegger helped her drop the weight, seriously,
0:51.7	and why that major accomplishment actually made her less confident than ever
0:56.0	before. Quick thanks to the sponsor of today's episode, Ultra. If you're looking to run
1:01.5	injury-free, and really, who isn't? Then putting on a pair of ultras could be exactly what you
1:07.1	need. That's because of their zero- drop design, which means that the heel and the
1:11.5	forefoot are at the same level. That encourages low-impact landings with a bent knee and a soft
1:17.0	footstrike. Again, the brand is called Ultra A-L-T-R-A. You can find them at ultrarru-rining.com.
1:24.4	And before we get going, really exciting news people. Hurtle is featured in Health
1:31.0	Magazine's April issue this month. So for anyone who's listening in for the first time after
1:36.5	finding me over there, thanks. I'm really happy to have you here. Also, big moment drum roll.
1:46.5	Hurdle is having its first ever salon talk in New York City on May 8th at the Arlo
1:52.5	Hotel in Nomad. Really, really excited, total understatement to bring together some of the
1:58.0	pods past guests and future guests to sit down and chat for our panel on self-love.
2:04.3	If you're interested in attending the event, head on over to hurdle.us slash featured.
2:09.5	Scroll to the bottom and sign up for the newsletter, and that'll keep you in the loop with all of the details to come.
2:15.2	Also, feel free to shoot me an email telling me just how amped you really are.
