In this episode of 5-Minute Friday, Emily reflects on a major full-circle moment after returning to Vancouver for the lululemon SeaWheeze race weekend. Eight years ago, standing at a lululemon Vision & Goals session in that very same city, she put a terrifyingly big goal out into the universe: to make Hurdle her full-time job.

Fast forward to today, and that vision has grown bigger than she could have ever imagined. Emily shares why it's crucial to give yourself permission to "think big," allow room for best-case scenarios, and celebrate every step of the journey. Plus, she answers a listener question about transitioning back into a regular routine post-marathon training and shares her go-to quick post-workout hacks.

WEEKLY THOUGHT PROMPT:

"What is one big goal you want to put out into the universe right now, and how can you take the first step toward going after it?"
