Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Evolve with Emily show. I am your host, Emily Hayden.

If you guys did not listen to the last two episodes, then you have got to go back and listen to the last two episodes of the Evolve with Emily show because I did two Q&A's on competing.

So it's an hour full of all of your questions answered by me.

You do not want to miss it.

If you're thinking about competing, if you are a competitor, just pretty much anyone. You definitely need to go listen to it because you guys asked some amazing questions and I was so happy to answer them for you all. Now, today's episode was actually suggested by one of you.

each thing that I do and why it's so important to me and why it is a part of my routine.

I think maybe you'll be able to look at your routine and really just ask yourself, why am I doing this?
