#REPOST: This week on Hurdle, I\\u2019m reposting five back-to-back episodes featuring Black guests, hoping to amplify their voices and continue my commitment of being a better ally. Today\'s episode was originally recorded in February of this year.
\\nThere\'s nothing easy about the long road to Tokyo for \\u201c400M Diva\\u201d Natasha Hastings. A two-time Olympian and gold medalist, the sprinter recently celebrated another major, magical milestone: Becoming a mom. For today\'s episode, I sat down with Natasha at the Under Armour Human Performance Summit at their Baltimore headquarters. To say that I\\u2019m in awe of her strength, determination, and power would be a total understatement. She talks to me about a few #hurdlemoments in her career that made her realize that she had to squash negative thoughts to reach her full potential, and how working with a sports psychologist helped her drastically. She also shares what it was like to stand on the podium at the Games in 2016 and \\u2014 fast forward to now \\u2014 hit the track for the first time post-baby. Bonus: 5-month-old Liam joined in on our interview (fun fact: at one point she was both podcasting AND breastfeeding, because she\\u2019s a champ). This one\\u2019s full of inspiration you won\\u2019t want to miss.
