Summary

Building A Badass is a show where I tell my story through the greatest eight events of my life through eight podcasts. Building A Badass is about my personal experiences that shaped my mindset, personal growth, success and failures, and how I became the badass that I am known for to this day.

Through these intimate stories of my personal struggles or celebrations I share my take away lessons and even emotional baggage, how that shaped me for good or bad, and how I came out of all of it at the end. Most of you know some of the highlights but this will dig a bit deeper into more of me, who I am, and how I became that.

I hope you enjoy it or at least take away your own lesson from my experience. That's exactly WHY I share so much of my past both good and bad, so that people can see it's possible to become what you believe no matter what cards you're dealt. This is why I have the mantra: Everyday you wake up with the opportunity to change your life.

In the first episode, I tell the story of how I wanted to play baseball for no other reason than it was what I preferred. I go into how I watched my mother take a positive stand against sexism and I was in awe. How that time I didn't understand the impact that watching her handle that situation would do for my ability to take a stand for myself, and that I also didn't realize what I was doing for myself, which was learning how to follow my passions, regardless of what people thought, how I was mistreated, and what the established rules were.

Stay Relentless,

Christmas

0:00.0	Hi everybody, this is Christmas Abbott and on this show, Building a Badass, Christmas
0:08.4	Abbott, I'm going to take a deep dive into the eclectic mix of my experiences that have
0:19.0	really kind of built me to where I am today.
0:22.2	And for you to kind of understand that, I'm going to go ahead and put each major experience
0:30.2	into its own story per podcast, so for, perhaps so.
0:36.4	And along with that, I'm going to really explore what my experience was, what I took away
0:44.3	from it, my mindset going into it, and ultimately how it was an influence
0:52.2	on my character, the way that I think, the way that I approach things, how I change the
0:59.4	lessons learned, many, many lessons learned, and ultimately how I leveraged each one of
1:06.7	these experiences to come out of a burning push or crazy situation or take advantage
1:16.3	of an opportunity and run with it and make it my own.
1:20.0	So there's an exciting mix to reflect as far back as when I was eight to current day
1:29.4	where I'm sitting here talking into a microphone to you, pregnant, and getting ready to not
1:36.1	just enter a new chapter, but just a new life.
1:39.7	It changes everything.
1:44.6	You might know me for one or multiple reasons, right?
1:50.0	There is a slew of things that I've been fortunate enough to do or try or experience or just
1:57.0	have forged myself into or said yes to.
2:01.0	And with that, I honestly didn't start out being a badass.
2:06.1	Like that, I didn't jump out of the wound doing muscle ups with abs, just like everybody
2:11.0	may think that I did, but that is absolutely the complete opposite where I got started.
2:18.7	And I'm proud of where I've come from, I'm proud of how far I've come, and I'm really
