Hi everybody, this is Christmas Abbott and I am sharing my personal journey with you on

building a badass and these shrug collective. I am so grateful for you listening to my story

and I'm hoping that you can take something in a way that helps you, empowers you, elevates

you, whatever it may be that you want to learn from my experiences. That's what I want you to take. So I

hope that you find that today. Last week I gave you my experience on how I became a national best

seller but ultimately just the willingness to try something new but also know that what you know

is real and that you are experienced and educated and there are other people that don't know as much as you. So own that, own

yourself. This week I'm going to talk to you about my big brother experience and in addition to that I'm going to talk to you

about my post, it's kind of pre and post big brother experience where I was just in a dark hard place.

And I just didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel and all of my discipline that I had learned before wasn't serving me.

So I know that we all go through hard times whether it's a day, week, even years and sometimes we can become a little bit just immersed in our own

being in that hard time that we forget how to give ourselves the chance to get out of it or how to get out of it. And there was

series of tragic experiences that's put me in that place of being and without seeing the light in the tunnel and practicing what I had

practiced before but it wasn't working. So for me, I had to do something different and find my fire again and it I'd never been in a place like this before.

And honestly, it took the unexpected to pull me out of it. So I just want to kind of share that with you. And honestly, you know, on a side note, as a strong social media

influencer, a fitness guru expert, whatever you want to call me, I don't know. It's kind of humor sometimes.

I'm just honestly an enthusiast about life. I love life. I love living life. I love trying new things in life. I love what this life has brought me.

The good and the bad, the challenges and the rewards all of it. And this is a long slow lesson.

So I also want to just kind of shine some of that struggle with you because I know that somebody out there right now is in it.

And they don't see the light at the end of the tunnel and they don't know how to get out of it. And they're not sure where it's going to take them.

And I'm hoping that you listen to the end of the podcast because I do want to circle back around to this point. And with this point, it's it's

truly man. I get emotional about this. It's moving. I don't know how else to say it. So with that cliffhanger, I'm going to dive into my experience with big brother. Oh my gosh. Okay. So first of all, Josh Paul love you guys. You are the best. We are still the missmots.
