Emily Abbate is a connector on a mission to empower women to live healthier, happier, and more motivated lives. Now a nine-time marathoner and triathlete, the veteran wellness journalist and former Fitness Editor at SELF Magazine wasn’t always kickstarting her days with runs around Central Park or leading workouts on Good Morning America. Emily went through a dramatic transformation in college, combatting negative self talk by integrating regular movement and healthier eating practices into her regular routine — ultimately losing 70 pounds and gaining a fresh perspective that catapulted her into a career in the health and fitness space. The certified run coach and trainer shares these experiences with her audience on her Hurdle podcast, acclaimed by The New York Times as “addictive,” with more than 9 million downloads to date. Featured in Health, Shape, and Runner’s World, Abbate aims to empower her audience to feel less alone on their own wellness journeys, and does so through important conversations with everyone from elite athletes to top CEOs and founders. Today on the show we discuss: what inspired Emily to transform her health after weighing over 200 lb, advice for people that are going through hard times or in the early stages of a transformation, how she learned to be so disciplined after having unhealthy habits for years, how to navigate things like body dysmorphia and imposter syndrome, why fitness has such a ripple effect on transformation, how to overcome negative and nasty self talk and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.
