105. Emily Abbate, Fitness Writer & Host of the Hurdle Podcast

"I had already gotten so far, and I just wasn't willing to look back. That involved pushing my comfort zone and doing something I maybe wasn't the best at." —Emily Abbate

She talks about her impressive journalism career, and shares how she rebounded after being laid off — twice. Plus, she opens up about confidence and failure, and dishes out life lessons galore.
