  • True, Motivational, Educational. Like listening to a good friend

    I have been listening to Hurdle and following Emily for a few years now. My friends introduced me to the show when I was training for my first big race: the 2019 NYC Half Marathon. I’d been a D1 lacrosse player and played various sports all my life, but navigating fitness and nutrition on my own post-grad was harder than I’d expected. I connected with Emily’s sentiments, approaches to fitness, nutrition, overall wellness and her natural mix of professionalism, poise, and relatability. I took her... more

  • Inspiring, uplifting, relatable

    I started with episode 101 featuring Natalie Kuhn of “The Class.” I had not heard of Emily before but wanted to learn more about Natalie. I was immediately drawn in by the honest exchange and fun tone Emily set. I’ve especially enjoyed the interviews with Kerri Walsh Jennings (episode 117) and Coach Bennett (episode 120). I also like the personal reflections in 5-minute Friday. Thanks Emily for keeping it real, handing out some motivation, and creating connection.

  • Gave me the confidence to run

    I recently found Emily through a client of mine who ran in the LA marathon. She inspired me to start my own running journey and suggested the Hurdle Podcast. Emily is such a delight to listen to and has taught me SO much in a short span of time. I’m grateful for her knowledge and expertise, making it easier for me to navigate my way through this journey with a lot more confidence! Excited to continue learning and growing in this community ❤️ 🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️

  • REALLY helped me

    My name is also Emily, so that’s what first caught my eye when I stumbled across this podcast. Her story is amazing and was relatable for me. I was going through a big change when I first started listening on my morning/evening commute. Emily and her guests motivated me to keep going when I had some really tough days. I stopped being scared of my job and started realizing that I am capable of the work set out for me. I am actually a better person now because of this podcast.
