271. Alicia Monson, Pro Runner & American Record Holder

Join me, Emily Abbate, every Monday and Friday for a good time. Hurdle is a wellness-focused podcast where I sit down with inspiring individuals to talk about everything from their big wins to how they’ve gotten through some of life’s toughest moments. On the show, you can expect vulnerability, motivation, and candid discussions with everyone from top athletes to aspiring entrepreneurs on what it really takes to follow your passions. My mission is simple: To inspire you to be your best self, move with intention — and have some fun along the way. Tell me: What's your #hurdlemoment?

Health & Fitness

Starting something new can be really intimidating. But, what if you befriend fear to begin something new? Talking about a coaching session I had earlier this week, and sharing a really powerful reframe that helped my client make a major breakthrough. Also: Answering a listener question on where I would live if I could pick ONE place right now, and what I'd do for work, too. My answer may not be what you'd expect.
