Hurdle

Money can feel a little awkward to talk about. But at the turn of a new year, it's a great time to take a step back and look at your finances. This week, I'm bringing Kumiko Love, AFC, better known to her massive social media following as "The Budget Mom," back on the show to give us her top tricks! Love talks me through her best-practice tips for better financial health, from tracking your spending and creating a budget to planning for retirement and maximizing your earning potential. A huge congrats to her, as her new book My Money, My Way comes out next week!

I am enamored by Dr. Robin Berzin. I chatted with the Parsley Health founder for episode 192 — a holistic medical practice available digitally nationwide and in-person in New York and LA. We talk about her backstory and how she came to found Parsley after graduating from Columbia, and then get into the nitty gritty on what it was like to work from an entrepreneurial mindset. We commsserate about the current state of healthcare in America, and really dive into what holistic medicine is and WHY we should all want to know more. Plus, Dr. Berzin sheds some light on the things that we can do in our everyday life to live better that don't involve prescriptions. And! She shares all about her new book, State Change.  SOCIAL @robinberzinmd @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast OFFERS AG1 by Athletic Greens | Head to AthleticGreens.com/hurdle to get 5 free travel packs and a year's supply of vitamin D with your first purchase.

I did it. I crossed something off of my to-do list that I've wanted to do for-ev-er (Sandlot style) — even though I knew it would be different than I had hoped. But who's to say that different means bad, right?  SOCIAL @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE New Balance 880v11 Nike Vaporfly Next % New Balance 1080 Saucony Endorphin Pro 2 Study: The Effect of Footwear on Running Performance Study: Running shoes and running injuries: mythbusting and a proposal for two new paradigms: ‘preferred movement path’ and ‘comfort filter’  On-Demand Goal Setting Workshop JOIN: THE *Secret* FACEBOOK GROUP SIGN UP: Weekly Hurdle Newsletter ASK ME A QUESTION: Leave me a voice message, ask me a question, and it could be featured in an upcoming episode!

Self-care isn't something that you automatically excel at. For many, it can be super challenging, despite its importance. Thats what I'm talking about today with Natasha Hastings, Gold medalist athlete-turned entrepreneur (and, past Hurdle guest!). We're talking about how the single mom makes time for herself, plus how she's learned to give herself grace when life gets hectic and things don't go as planned. Plus, she offers up some of her best-practice strategies to maintaining her peace, and some of the most helpful takeaways that she's learned from her therapist.  SOCIAL @natashahastings @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast OFFERS Inside Tracker | Get $200 off the Ultimate Plan and 25% off the entire InsideTracker store at InsideTracker.com/hurdle LMNT  | Get a FREE LMNT sample pack (only pay $5 shipping!) by heading to DrinkLMNT.com/Hurdle MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 95.

“You be you, because at the end of the day you will only always have you.” Damn. What a statement from today’s Hurdle guest Gabi Butler. Gabi is a cheerleader and star of the NETFLIX series Cheer, which debuted its second season just a few days ago. We talk about it all: Her early days in cheer and Navarro, her work ethic and how much she appreciates coach Monica and the Navraro family, as well as her newfound relationship with God and how it helped her through the darkest months of the pandemic. Gabi brings such a positive and grateful attitude toward all of her experiences — good or bad. Her sentiments are a great reminder of how to look at your passion as a stepping stone in life to better let go of roadblocks and appreciate successes.

Sometimes you've just gotta get out of your own damn way. Small victory: I'm finally strength training regularly. That's a sentence I haven't been able to say since ... 2016? 2015? Today I'm talking about how I made this a regular habit, ridding myself of excuses, and saddling up to a challenge.   SOCIAL @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE A Digital Personal Trainer Could Be Key to Keeping Your Fitness Routine On Track On-Demand Goal Setting Workshop JOIN: THE *Secret* FACEBOOK GROUP SIGN UP: Weekly Hurdle Newsletter ASK ME A QUESTION: Leave me a voice message, ask me a question, and it could be featured in an upcoming episode!

This episode has nothing to do with restriction (except that we talk about how it can be majorly detrimental). I call in Lisa Moskovitz, RD, CDN, author of The Core 3 Healthy Eating Plan and the CEO of NY Nutrition Group, to talk about the types of resolutions and goals we should be making in 2022 when it comes to nourishing our bodies. Think things you should be adding in instead of getting rid of, nourishment beyond just food (content, energy), thinking about the "three B's", and choosing alcohol wisely (including my big $ idea).

I have a massive crush on Lexi Dupont. There, I said it. The pro skier is one of the most down-to-earth, fun women I've had the pleasure of talking with in some time, and for episode 190, you'll find out why. We talk about Lexi getting into skiing and sport at a young age, and how she learned to conquer her fear of heights to go on crazy adventures, from skiing some of the world's most gnarly terrain to hiking up Kilimanjaro. We also talk about her new title — pilot (!) — and her excitement for the upcoming Freeride World Tour. Plus: The benefits of working with a sport psychologist to get out of her own way, and what she's looking forward to in the new year.  SOCIAL @lexidupont @emilyabbate @hurdlepodcast OFFERS Daily Harvest  | Head to DailyHarvest.com/HurdlePod to get $40 off your first box today.

Welcome to episode 4 of the Turning the Page series! Today, I'm bringing back one of the most listened guests of 2021: Alex Silver Fagan. I — and so many of you — was inspired by Alex’s story and raw vulnerability with her journey of mental health and checking herself into a mental health facility. Her reflection on her last 365 is equally as inspiring and she couldn’t have picked a better word for her 2021: Presence. BONUS: She even lets us in on her word for the new year.
