I continue to read and subscribe to the Weekly Hurdle because it inspires me to either try something new (like a podcase or gear) and/or to think about something in a new way. It provides ideas for ways that I can continue to achieve my goals and live my life to the fullest despite any challenges that arise. I look forward to a new post each week!
I keep reading due to your experience, honesty, and realness in your words. You are so relatable and wear your heart on your sleeve. So rare to find these days! Thank you, Emily!
I love Hurdle in all forms - but Fridays are my favorite because I get 5 minute Friday AND the newsletter! Emily, I am consistently inspired by your discipline, and lately, have been extra motivated by your positive and optimistic but not forced outlook on life -- your gratefulness for all these things you've worked so hard for, your progress with pull ups, your dedication to your morning routine, your efforts in your social life, your consistency with your early bedtime... The list goes on!
The weekly hurdle newsletter is an indicator that I’ve made it to the end of the week and acts as a bit of a “switch” in my brain to wind down from work and focus on me myself and my “life outside work”. I’ve been trying to spend more time on Substack and less on mindless scrolling on other apps so building a list of newsletters to follow is a new passion. Thanks for the quick hits, favorite quotes, and suggestions on all things health and wellness. Thank you Emily!!
I love reading the Weekly Hurdle! It's a great way to close the week, and Emily always provides a reflection that I can relate to and wonderful tips and motivation that I can easily integrate into my daily life. I also love the highlights of the week, especially the podcast. I have been introduced to other podcasts this way, and it has been worth it. Also, the gear recommendations help me to add more items to the workout clothes rotation. Overall, a great newsletter to motivate me to try new things!
The Hurdle newsletter is the motivation I need every Friday to keep energy flowing and staying inspired to close out my work week strong. The stories, content and products shared truly enrich my day to day life and challenge me to show up as the best version of myself!
Thank you for going first. You truly set the tone to my Friday. I haven’t missed a weekly hurdle in years! Every line always has me fully on the edge of my heart. You, me, hurdle are quite the team!
You feel like my co-pilot in life. Inspiring me to be passport ready. Reminding me that kindness always prevails. And smiles always disarm.
I love reading the Hurdle each Friday. It’s a little spark that begins my Friday right. I enjoy your authenticity and the personal details you share with your readers. You have a wonderful way of addressing common barriers to fitness by acknowledging real questions people ask, making the content relatable and practical. Your motivational tone is strong and encouraging, it always motivates me to keep on my journey! Thank you for the push to keep getting better each day. Amanda
I love reading the weekly hurdle as part of my end of week routine! I like to save the quote/prompt to close out my week and use it as inspo for the next!
It’s my favorite Friday morning routine - weekly hurdle followed by 5 minute Friday! It’s like getting an email from an old friend who is checking in on you and catching you up on their life while inspiring you and making you feel seen - who doesn’t love that?! 💕
The Django has been on my list for years - thank you for the reminder!
Thank you for being real with us, providing space for people to be human, and consistently being yourself. We appreciate you!

I love the nuggets of inspiration and recommendations! Example from today: I just got on the waitlist for The Wedding People on Libby 😀
Reading the weekly hurdle gives me motivation and inspiration for my days.

I keep reading it because it (1) feels like an additional 5 min Friday bonus content and (2) feels like I’m catching up with a friend over coffee!

Hurdle feels like my friend my sister my example.
