5-MINUTE FRIDAY: What’s the Best That Could Happen?
About this episode
Emily Abbate discusses her spontaneous trip to the NCAA Final Four and the importance of listening to one's gut feelings while addressing listener questions about returning to fitness.
This episode, I'm talking about my spontaneous decision to go to Phoenix for the NCAA Final Four! As a proud UConn alum, I couldn’t pass up the chance to cheer on the Huskies and spend some quality father-daughter time. I dive into the power of listening to your "whispers"—those gut feelings that nudge you toward exciting possibilities—and challenge you to shift your mindset from "what if it goes wrong?" to "what if it goes right?" Plus, I answer a listener question about navigating the mental and physical hurdles of getting back into a fitness routine after a break.
