Everyday Badassery Christine Lozada

She’s a bright light of positive energy with a smile and a laugh that makes her presence KNOWN and FELT when she’s in the room. Meet Youmie Jean Francois of Flex N Fly. I met her at Wanderful’s WITS Travel Summit and immediately was attracted to her radiant energy.



I wanted to uncover her story because it wasn’t an easy one. It’s NOT one that you would expect such a positive person to have had - and I wanted to understand what mindset she kept that got her through some of the toughest transitions in life.

What's in this episode:

0:00 Key takeaway

0:35 Intro

1:16 When have you NOT given yourself enough credit

4:34 Bessie Awards dinner
13:50 Skiing black diamonds scared AF

19:07 You are a reflection of who you spend your time with

29:00 When you operate from a standpoint of OWNING it

33:24 Why it’s more important than ever to BE YOU and SPEAK UP

Everyone has an opinion about what you SHOULD be doing. Those little gremlins are doing the macarena around your head and are sometimes dressed in camo so you can't tell the difference between "shoulds" that are GOOD advice and "shoulds" that are straight up BAD advice.



Listening to your gut takes time. Bravery takes practice. This episode is about two everyday women letting go of planning and control - listening closely to what we REALLY want in life, and then grabbing it. By the balls.



The Tepozlan series is episodes 56-59
