Emma Bates is familiar with hurdles. Within the last decade, she lost her father, went through a divorce, and uprooted her life to a new city to train with Team Boss. But through it all, she's perservered and chased her goals. In today's episode — recorded live at the World Athletic Championships — I sit down with Emma to talk about it all: Her backstory, how she persisted after the #hurdlemoment of her father's passing, and what it feels like to finally have solid female friendships and support for the first time in her life. We also recap her outstanding PR performance at the marathon in Eugene, what it feels like to be inspiring others, and what she's looking forward to next.
