Manage episode 490320272 series 1967683
Sportscaster host Elle Duncan is on Hurdle this week to talk about career trajectory, from local radio to the national spotlight, and how each step shaped her. She opens up about the pivotal moments that taught her to prioritize her well-being over people-pleasing, including a surprisingly positive layoff and the challenges of working in a demanding market like Boston. She also shares her refreshingly candid perspective that "work/life balance" doesn’t actually exist, and the exciting curveball ESPN threw her right before maternity leave. Plus, Elle discusses the exciting shift for women in sports, her hopes for the future, what it's like to live out a childhood dream, and gives us a sneak peek of what we can expect at her new show, "Vibe Check."
