A silly accident earlier this week reminded me that a shift in perspective can be a powerful thing.

Looking to make some smarter nutrition choices in the new year? That's where Dan Churchill, performance-based chef located in New York City, comes in. This is Dan's third time back on Hurdle, and he's offering up some thoughts on how to eat healthier — and adopt all-around better-for-you nutrition habits. We talk what staples should be in your pantry, fridge, and freezer, as well as how to prep smart, what should really be on your plate, and our thoughts on Dry (or Damp) January.

Branden Collinsworth grew up on the streets of Las Vegas. Finding movement at a young age, he used that as a lifeline to get away from bad habits and dangerous situations. It was through perserverance that he went on to open up a highly successful chain of gyms and get his master's in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania (he admits in today's episode that he worked on the application for two full years). But still in pursuit of his ultimate purpose of love, he decided to travel to Bali to practice yoga and find himself. In episode 236, Collinsworth talks extensively about how to home in on your purpose, offers up some of his favorite takeaways from the people who inspire him, touches on how the skills he's learned through his beloved yoga practice have helped him become a better human, and beams with excitement over his next chapter with CorePower Yoga and their new strength offering CorePower Strength X.

New routines, big gains. Gamification is changing the way I think of my day-to-day, and for me — that feels good.

What a week it was here on Hurdle to kick off the year with our annual Turning the Page series. We’re getting back into the regular swing of things today with episode 235 featuring Lauren Fleshman, one of the most decorated American distance runners of all time and author of the book Good for a Girl, which comes out tomorrow, January 10.

I really appreciate Lauren’s way with words in our discussion. From sharing her experience with depression to talking about the height of her running career, the descriptions instantly bring you back with her to these life moments in such a special way. She also talks about her experience as a sponsored athlete, how it felt to write her book during such an isolating time for the world in a pandemic, and her hopes for women in sport for the future.

Welcome to a new year and NEW SEASON of Hurdle, kicking things off with the annual Turning the Page series! For this week of five back-to-back episodes, each guest shares highlights from their past 365, offers up a word that they’re focusing on for the new year, and then, gives some advice on how to move into the next 52 weeks with grace and a positive outlook. For the final episode of the series, I'm reconnecting with Rebeckah Price, a yoga and meditation teacher. She gets honest about how she navigated the unexpected loss of her brother, and how grief may look different at different times. She also speaks on chosen family, abundance in 2023, and what she's most proud of.
