The presenter begins with playful rhetorical questions about races and time, then introduces a song called 'This Moment' and greets the audience. This short opening sets the tone and frames the message around presence and shared experience.
The host reflects on using movement—yoga, running, dance—as a way to connect with others rather than merely for fitness, likening it to attending a wedding for the people not the food. The song is described as part of that story and the speaker expresses gratitude for the audience.
The speaker recounts their extensive past teaching, including ambassador roles for brands and holding space for large groups, and how that created a tribe of friends and colleagues. This chapter explains the roots of the relationships the speaker values.
Anecdotes cover travel, missed years, and the surprise of running into longtime friends—from pacing races to meeting in Sydney and at a workout—showing how shared memories persist even after time apart. The speaker emphasizes that those people remain known and meaningful despite changes.
The presenter invites listeners to give themselves grace when they worry about losing connections and suggests a simple action: send a message to someone you 'used to know' to say you still remember them. The short closing offers a gentle call to action and a farewell.
Can you tell me who called the race? Anyone stay in one place when you get to the finish line? Wish for more time or say one day? One day you will, maybe one day you will find that you just can't push rewind. Because all you have is this moment, everybody, and a little Katy Perry to play us in on this Friday. That song's called This Moment. And that's a song, Hey Cafe Marisa, how are you? Nice to see you on the cadre. That's a song that I used to play all of the time when I was teaching a lot of movement, whether it be yoga or running or communal dance movement, functional move, all the things.
I was never a big fan of movement as exercise, but I was always a big fan and still am of movement as an opportunity to connect. No one ever goes to the wedding for the chicken or the fish. No one ever goes to the wedding to hear what music the DJ plays. You go to the wedding to be with people to celebrate something. And that's kind of where movement has always been for me. And that song is part of that story. Hey, I'm glad I'm here. I'm glad you're here. I know the things I know and I care about you.
Yes, I used to be in that movement space A lot. So much that I was a global ambassador for brands like Lululemon and Fitbit, and I would hold space for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people. It was really cool. And through that, I had a tribe of people that were my friends and my colleagues. I was just in Sydney, Australia 2 weeks ago, and I got to hang out with two of my buddies who I used to pace the SeaWees Half Marathon in Vancouver with. Haven't seen them in about a decade. It's pretty amazing to get to fly to the other side of the world and be like, hey, friends.
Once I stopped teaching a lot, I didn't see those people very much anymore. Not because there was anything, any negative energy, but because our currents didn't move into the same streams. In the past couple of weeks, more and more of those people keep popping back in. I literally just finished. m. When we both walked in, we ran into another five of our friends from that chapter of life. People that we used to know, we still know them. We can still walk into a room and go, hey, we have shared story, shared existence.
We have memories and we make memories every single time we see each other on social media and times we check with families and the times that we deal with one of our dogs passing away and all the things. So my invitation for you today is sometimes we feel and there's a stress and a current that pushes us to, if we don't see the people we see that maybe we lose something, Maybe they're not our people anymore and we think of them as people that we used to know, rather than people that we maybe just haven't seen for a bit.
So my invitation today, give yourself grace and maybe whenever you feel that little tug, send a message and say, hey, person I used to know, I still know you and I'm thinking about you. Have a good one. We'll see you tomorrow. That you just can't push rewind. Why?
