1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,659
What was it like having this conversation
today?
2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,639
I love it, you know, because for me, it's as
you said, it's be intentional in what you do.
3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:13,654
And this is what I'm doing every day when I'm
waking up and just be here, be able to share my
4
00:00:13,654 --> 00:00:19,254
message and invite even more people, you know,
to be intentional and live the lives as they
5
00:00:19,254 --> 00:00:19,754
want.
6
00:00:20,295 --> 00:00:22,074
That's what I'm looking for for them.
7
00:00:22,294 --> 00:00:24,634
Why is intentionality so important?
8
00:00:25,619 --> 00:00:30,339
Because if you're not intentional, you are not
present to what you are doing and you're in
9
00:00:30,339 --> 00:00:32,600
your head instead of being in your heart.
10
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:39,135
For me, when you are in your heart, in a place
of heart, it's so so different because you will
11
00:00:39,135 --> 00:00:40,515
not have the same vibration.
12
00:00:40,575 --> 00:00:45,054
You will not have the same resonance, and the
ripple effect will not be the same.
13
00:00:45,054 --> 00:00:47,795
When you are in your head, for me, it's more
about automatism.
14
00:00:48,255 --> 00:00:53,234
When you're in your heart, it's all about who
you truly are and about serving others.
15
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:54,880
Bingo.
16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,480
That's a master class right there.
17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,140
Thank you.
18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Welcome back to Vision Cast Network, where
intention collaboration and technology gather
19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,079
in service to humanity.
20
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:10,795
Today's guest is Flavia Balayon, and she works
with female entrepreneurs who feel stuck in
21
00:01:10,795 --> 00:01:12,975
their ability to live their best life.
22
00:01:14,234 --> 00:01:17,755
The life that they desire so they can leave a
legacy behind them.
23
00:01:17,755 --> 00:01:18,715
So welcome Flavia.
24
00:01:18,715 --> 00:01:20,094
It's so good to see you again.
25
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:21,819
Thank you so much.
26
00:01:21,819 --> 00:01:24,640
Thank you so much, Christian, for having me
tonight with you.
27
00:01:24,939 --> 00:01:25,439
Absolutely.
28
00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:27,819
So give us a little bit of backstory, will you?
29
00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:32,159
A little bit of backstory on how you came to do
what it is that you're doing.
30
00:01:32,825 --> 00:01:37,805
What some of the, some of the good news, some
of the bad news, and how that shaped and formed
31
00:01:38,104 --> 00:01:39,965
your ability to be of greater service.
32
00:01:40,664 --> 00:01:41,164
Sure.
33
00:01:41,305 --> 00:01:47,405
So my journey, you know, start, like, 4 year
and a half where the word had a moment of
34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,180
breathe, if I can say, during COVID time.
35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,560
Okay.
36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,859
And, you know, at that time, I had everything
to be successful.
37
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:54,659
Correct.
38
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,840
Amazing pay payroll, amazing husband, beautiful
flat, kids.
39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:00,719
I had everything.
40
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,435
But inside of me, I was I was not happy.
41
00:02:03,435 --> 00:02:04,954
I was not fulfilling myself.
42
00:02:04,954 --> 00:02:09,995
And for so many years, you know, I was looking
for the next salary increase, say the next
43
00:02:09,995 --> 00:02:10,495
step.
44
00:02:11,114 --> 00:02:14,759
And during COVID time, I was, that's not my
life.
45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,620
That's not what I meant to do.
46
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:19,799
And I rediscovered life during COVID, and I
was, okay.
47
00:02:19,799 --> 00:02:21,579
Is there something that I can do?
48
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:27,400
And for me, it has been quite a journey,
honestly, for for years because I had huge
49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,459
moment of doubt.
50
00:02:28,645 --> 00:02:28,805
Okay.
51
00:02:28,805 --> 00:02:36,965
I had huge moment of fulfillment, and I started
my my journey in French in France, and one day,
52
00:02:36,965 --> 00:02:38,504
I decided to go global.
53
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:39,604
Uh-huh.
54
00:02:39,604 --> 00:02:44,389
At that moment, you know, my inner villain
started to say, are you sure that you are meant
55
00:02:44,389 --> 00:02:45,129
to be global?
56
00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:48,090
And I was, I don't know.
57
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:49,610
Maybe no, finally.
58
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,409
But, yes, I was.
59
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:58,150
And for me, you know, it was all the time, and
that's why today, I'm working more on who you
60
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:02,125
are, who you want really to become before
having the strategy.
61
00:03:02,125 --> 00:03:06,604
Because I think I have done most of the
mistakes you can do when you start to be an
62
00:03:06,604 --> 00:03:12,729
entrepreneur, meaning looking for the best
tool, looking for perfection, be everywhere,
63
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:16,330
talking to everybody and finding getting to
know one.
64
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:19,590
And at the end, I discovered, but, oh, am I?
65
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:21,510
Which entrepreneur are you really?
66
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:23,270
Which CEO do I want to embody?
67
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:24,324
Which legacy do I want
68
00:03:24,324 --> 00:03:25,344
to do?
69
00:03:25,365 --> 00:03:27,284
And which impact do I want to have?
70
00:03:27,284 --> 00:03:31,205
Not the one that my coaches were telling me,
you have to do this.
71
00:03:31,205 --> 00:03:31,764
You have
72
00:03:31,764 --> 00:03:31,925
to
73
00:03:31,925 --> 00:03:32,905
serve those people.
74
00:03:33,205 --> 00:03:35,145
And that's when I say, okay.
75
00:03:35,844 --> 00:03:36,344
Stop.
76
00:03:37,169 --> 00:03:37,669
Stop.
77
00:03:38,049 --> 00:03:39,009
We we do it again.
78
00:03:39,009 --> 00:03:39,409
Okay.
79
00:03:39,409 --> 00:03:45,109
Now that's not what I wanna do and that's how I
shifted my business to do what I'm doing today.
80
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:50,449
How things is amazing women were doubtful
because I don't know if I can do it because
81
00:03:50,449 --> 00:03:51,349
I've been there.
82
00:03:52,855 --> 00:03:59,814
Oh, I know what is it to have all those stuff
to want to serve everybody, but before you need
83
00:03:59,814 --> 00:04:01,575
to know who you are truly Yes.
84
00:04:01,655 --> 00:04:05,194
And why it aligned to who you are to have after
an alignment.
85
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:06,340
Wow.
86
00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:08,340
So that's that's a powerful discovery.
87
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:11,479
If I can just recap here for a minute, and I
wanna make sure that I got this straight.
88
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:14,360
So you were doing great and then COVID came.
89
00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:15,300
Yes.
90
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:20,824
And COVID changed your entire world, and it
forced you to really look inside of yourself
91
00:04:20,824 --> 00:04:22,264
and make some tough decisions.
92
00:04:22,264 --> 00:04:24,185
I imagine that that was not comfortable.
93
00:04:24,185 --> 00:04:25,084
Is this correct?
94
00:04:25,704 --> 00:04:26,024
Yes.
95
00:04:26,024 --> 00:04:27,485
It was completely uncomfortable.
96
00:04:27,865 --> 00:04:28,845
Completely uncomfortable.
97
00:04:28,904 --> 00:04:30,345
It's like on a 0 to 10 scale.
98
00:04:30,345 --> 00:04:31,544
0 was like, oh, this was great.
99
00:04:31,544 --> 00:04:32,504
10 is like, oh my gosh.
100
00:04:32,504 --> 00:04:34,019
This is the worst thing that's ever happened.
101
00:04:34,019 --> 00:04:35,879
Where were you on that 0 to 10?
102
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:41,620
At that time, maybe at a good 6 because I
didn't want my employer to know that I was on
103
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:43,480
my way to start a business.
104
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:45,560
So you had that component as well.
105
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:46,180
Yes.
106
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,839
You had an employer that was maybe looking over
your shoulder.
107
00:04:49,654 --> 00:04:50,134
Exactly.
108
00:04:50,134 --> 00:04:54,214
And, you know, when you're working in
spirituality, you don't want them to know what
109
00:04:54,214 --> 00:04:55,274
you are doing, honestly.
110
00:04:55,414 --> 00:04:55,735
Yeah.
111
00:04:55,735 --> 00:04:55,975
Yeah.
112
00:04:55,975 --> 00:04:58,134
So it's a little bit it's a so it's a little
bit dicey.
113
00:04:58,134 --> 00:05:06,169
And so you then decided after you made that
uncomfortable leap, you tuned into more of who
114
00:05:06,169 --> 00:05:12,169
you are inside, and then you modeled that and
brought that forward and then said, okay.
115
00:05:12,169 --> 00:05:13,789
This truth of who I am
116
00:05:14,329 --> 00:05:14,829
Yeah.
117
00:05:15,449 --> 00:05:16,750
Is who I'm gonna serve.
118
00:05:17,370 --> 00:05:17,870
Exactly.
119
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:19,384
Wow.
120
00:05:19,384 --> 00:05:25,464
And how did that feel in your body to make that
realization that the pain, the struggle, the
121
00:05:25,464 --> 00:05:30,365
transformation was really a gift that you could
offer to other people, other women?
122
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:36,310
Well, you know, on the moment, I was anger
because I was, oh, I spent all that money and
123
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:38,569
my business is not where I wanted to be.
124
00:05:38,949 --> 00:05:44,625
And after, I look back and I say, because
that's maybe where you are not supposed to be.
125
00:05:44,925 --> 00:05:49,805
Because you're not supposed to listen to what
other are telling you, but just connect to your
126
00:05:49,805 --> 00:05:50,205
soul.
127
00:05:50,205 --> 00:05:51,324
Connect to who you are.
128
00:05:51,324 --> 00:05:51,645
Okay.
129
00:05:51,645 --> 00:05:54,444
Connect what what is really important to you.
130
00:05:54,444 --> 00:05:55,165
I'll do it.
131
00:05:55,165 --> 00:05:56,925
And I discovered that, okay.
132
00:05:56,925 --> 00:06:02,399
Maybe I'm a visionary to say you need to start
with you first before launching a business.
133
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:02,959
You know?
134
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:04,319
You need to know who you are.
135
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:08,479
And most of the time, she's a step that you are
burning, and I burned it.
136
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:09,519
I I skip it.
137
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:10,079
You know?
138
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:10,719
And I was, no.
139
00:06:10,719 --> 00:06:13,995
I'm gonna be like everybody, but I'm not
everybody.
140
00:06:14,214 --> 00:06:14,535
Yes.
141
00:06:14,535 --> 00:06:19,334
And because I have 17 years, you know, in Reman
Resources, for me, it's I am unique.
142
00:06:19,334 --> 00:06:20,314
You are unique.
143
00:06:20,535 --> 00:06:21,514
Everybody is unique.
144
00:06:21,735 --> 00:06:28,060
And for me, it's my duty to say, I want you to
reveal your unicity, but but I was not doing
145
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:29,040
this for me.
146
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,419
And after when I did it, it was magic happened.
147
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:33,459
Wow.
148
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:38,500
So, yeah, I have the saying, the magic happens
when who you are becomes what you do.
149
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:39,379
Exactly.
150
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:41,519
So be yourself because everyone else is taken.
151
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:42,019
Right?
152
00:06:42,425 --> 00:06:42,925
Yeah.
153
00:06:43,104 --> 00:06:43,604
Exactly.
154
00:06:43,785 --> 00:06:45,084
You did a lot of work.
155
00:06:45,704 --> 00:06:46,925
You made some sacrifices.
156
00:06:46,985 --> 00:06:48,204
You weathered COVID.
157
00:06:48,264 --> 00:06:54,264
You kept things, like, on the down low to make
sure that you weren't incongruent with your
158
00:06:54,264 --> 00:06:54,764
paycheck.
159
00:06:55,159 --> 00:06:58,779
And then it's like, oh, I hit this other wall,
and I gotta go in even deeper.
160
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:04,300
So what did that next level of deep dive really
do for you?
161
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,500
So real next step, you know, was to see my
kids.
162
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:16,884
And when my kids are coming and say, mom, now
you're laughing all the time with your clients.
163
00:07:17,024 --> 00:07:19,044
They can hear you in the living room.
164
00:07:19,104 --> 00:07:20,004
You're jumping.
165
00:07:20,225 --> 00:07:21,204
You're dancing.
166
00:07:21,345 --> 00:07:22,084
You're celebrating.
167
00:07:23,024 --> 00:07:27,819
So such is so great to see you that way because
they they saw me in the other way, you know,
168
00:07:27,819 --> 00:07:34,779
kind of never be there for dinner, never be
there, for breakfast, skipping so many
169
00:07:34,779 --> 00:07:36,220
important family moment.
170
00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:41,279
And now I'm here, and last time my daughter
came to me and said, mom, can I use Canva?
171
00:07:41,355 --> 00:07:43,535
And I was, what for?
172
00:07:43,675 --> 00:07:45,134
I want to create stickers.
173
00:07:45,194 --> 00:07:46,955
And I was, oh, interesting.
174
00:07:46,955 --> 00:07:49,214
And what do you want with to do with your
stickers?
175
00:07:49,355 --> 00:07:50,495
I can sell them?
176
00:07:50,795 --> 00:07:52,654
And I was, oh my god.
177
00:07:52,714 --> 00:07:55,769
That's how you know you are having an impact.
178
00:07:55,769 --> 00:08:00,110
You are creating your own legacy by being an
example and that your kids after.
179
00:08:00,329 --> 00:08:02,089
My mother is not thinking for so much.
180
00:08:02,089 --> 00:08:02,589
Okay.
181
00:08:02,889 --> 00:08:04,089
I want to be a doctor.
182
00:08:04,089 --> 00:08:04,410
No.
183
00:08:04,410 --> 00:08:10,095
She want to create stickers and have her own
shop on Etsy, and she's you gotta turn
184
00:08:10,475 --> 00:08:10,975
10.
185
00:08:11,194 --> 00:08:12,014
She's 10?
186
00:08:12,475 --> 00:08:13,295
She's 10.
187
00:08:13,595 --> 00:08:14,074
Wow.
188
00:08:14,074 --> 00:08:17,134
So this is leadership by example.
189
00:08:17,915 --> 00:08:18,415
Yeah.
190
00:08:19,194 --> 00:08:20,714
How do you feel about that?
191
00:08:20,714 --> 00:08:23,214
How do you feel about being a leader by
example?
192
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,839
Well, I think that I finally find my true
meaning of who I am.
193
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:29,339
Yeah.
194
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,560
And, finally, I kind of embody it.
195
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:38,315
And I remember that over the last 2 years,
because when I was on my way on the age of
196
00:08:38,315 --> 00:08:39,195
quitting my job
197
00:08:39,355 --> 00:08:39,675
Yep.
198
00:08:39,754 --> 00:08:43,055
I heard that I was pregnant, which was
completely unexpected.
199
00:08:43,434 --> 00:08:43,934
Yes.
200
00:08:44,634 --> 00:08:50,394
So as being you know, when you were talking on
11 to 1 to 10, I was at a 9 at that moment.
201
00:08:50,394 --> 00:08:50,875
Yeah.
202
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:51,274
Wow.
203
00:08:51,355 --> 00:08:58,370
When I quit my job, 6 figure job, to run my
business, being pregnant, and I did it.
204
00:08:58,509 --> 00:09:02,509
I took the leap because I said, if I don't do
it now, I will never do it.
205
00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:06,305
Even if my husband has no revenue, he's working
from home.
206
00:09:06,305 --> 00:09:06,545
Yep.
207
00:09:06,545 --> 00:09:11,665
If it was that's a huge, you know, risk and
decision, but he was ready to do it.
208
00:09:11,665 --> 00:09:15,024
And it was, for me, so fulfilling to Yep.
209
00:09:15,264 --> 00:09:20,004
Leave all those events that I've been living,
like, Toni Robbins and in Kraziosi event.
210
00:09:20,330 --> 00:09:25,309
Having my son in my belly, and, you know, the
first word he said was, yeah.
211
00:09:25,529 --> 00:09:26,090
I thought,
212
00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:26,730
oh my god.
213
00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:27,690
You don't need to speak
214
00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:28,190
French?
215
00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:28,730
The
216
00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:29,529
first word he
217
00:09:29,529 --> 00:09:36,004
gave me is is English, and now my son listened
to me more in English than French.
218
00:09:36,384 --> 00:09:37,524
And I'm okay.
219
00:09:37,705 --> 00:09:39,424
That's out of the thing.
220
00:09:39,424 --> 00:09:39,924
Wow.
221
00:09:40,304 --> 00:09:43,285
That is that is powerful on many levels.
222
00:09:43,504 --> 00:09:51,879
Real briefly, there have been a lot of studies
that talk about what children gestating in
223
00:09:51,879 --> 00:10:01,100
utero experience and how that shapes their
lives and how that sets them up for a path of
224
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,845
being empowered or maybe the path of being
frightened.
225
00:10:06,705 --> 00:10:07,184
Yeah.
226
00:10:07,184 --> 00:10:17,629
So you sounds like you have chain you've made a
generational imprint on your children and your
227
00:10:18,009 --> 00:10:20,910
children's children's children.
228
00:10:21,769 --> 00:10:22,090
Yes.
229
00:10:22,090 --> 00:10:24,970
I am gonna be the change maker, you know, as a
father.
230
00:10:25,049 --> 00:10:25,549
Changemaker.
231
00:10:25,850 --> 00:10:28,170
So how do you feel about that?
232
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:32,250
I know you told us how you thought, but how do
you how does that feel in your body to know
233
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:36,424
that you are making a positive difference for
generations?
234
00:10:36,725 --> 00:10:41,945
Because you did the difficult work, other
people will benefit.
235
00:10:42,884 --> 00:10:43,384
Yes.
236
00:10:43,684 --> 00:10:47,544
Well, for me, I wanna say that I'm so grateful.
237
00:10:47,684 --> 00:10:50,960
That's the first word that come to me because
Gratitude.
238
00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:54,000
Is giving me this opportunity, you know, to do
what I'm doing.
239
00:10:54,379 --> 00:10:59,180
Sometimes, it's I'm crazy because I have done
date with Destiny being, like, 5 months
240
00:10:59,180 --> 00:10:59,660
pregnant
241
00:10:59,899 --> 00:11:00,100
Yep.
242
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,825
Ending my days at 9 AM French time.
243
00:11:02,825 --> 00:11:03,144
You know?
244
00:11:03,144 --> 00:11:07,784
It's a you start today at 6 PM, and you're at 9
PM, and you're pregnant.
245
00:11:07,784 --> 00:11:08,745
You're not crazy.
246
00:11:08,745 --> 00:11:09,245
No.
247
00:11:09,304 --> 00:11:10,284
It's great.
248
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:16,410
And for me, it's all about what I'm I'm gonna
let, you know, to my kids.
249
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:18,730
It's not a matter of, okay, you're gonna have a
flight.
250
00:11:18,730 --> 00:11:19,870
You're gonna have money.
251
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:20,250
No.
252
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:22,970
I want them to have a fulfilling life.
253
00:11:22,970 --> 00:11:26,330
And the mistake I have done, I want them to
avoid it.
254
00:11:26,330 --> 00:11:26,649
You know?
255
00:11:26,649 --> 00:11:28,325
I want them to time.
256
00:11:28,325 --> 00:11:30,665
I want them just to do what they love.
257
00:11:30,805 --> 00:11:36,805
And from the family I'm coming from, you know,
I was from a family, you need to be the best
258
00:11:36,805 --> 00:11:37,305
student.
259
00:11:37,445 --> 00:11:37,684
Yeah.
260
00:11:37,684 --> 00:11:40,325
You need to be the best at class and have the
best work
261
00:11:40,485 --> 00:11:40,605
Yeah.
262
00:11:40,725 --> 00:11:41,625
And so on.
263
00:11:41,764 --> 00:11:44,069
And I understood that that's not fulfilling.
264
00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:44,549
You know?
265
00:11:44,549 --> 00:11:49,289
I I want having a nice salary, more than most
of what French people do.
266
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:50,389
But was I happy?
267
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:50,789
No.
268
00:11:50,789 --> 00:11:52,089
Was I living on vacation?
269
00:11:52,149 --> 00:11:52,629
No.
270
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,470
Was I enjoying time with my family?
271
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:54,970
No.
272
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:55,610
Yeah.
273
00:11:56,014 --> 00:12:00,674
I want to show simplicity to my kids, but joy
and fulfillment.
274
00:12:01,695 --> 00:12:02,095
Yeah.
275
00:12:02,095 --> 00:12:02,335
Yes.
276
00:12:02,335 --> 00:12:04,754
For me, so much more important.
277
00:12:04,815 --> 00:12:08,495
And if today, I'm gonna leave that Earth to
say, okay.
278
00:12:08,495 --> 00:12:12,289
What I got from my mom, it's resilience,
courage.
279
00:12:13,230 --> 00:12:14,049
That's what happened.
280
00:12:14,110 --> 00:12:14,929
You are resourceful.
281
00:12:15,549 --> 00:12:19,389
And she gave us, you know, this willingness to
fight for what we love
282
00:12:19,789 --> 00:12:20,029
Wow.
283
00:12:20,269 --> 00:12:24,429
And just, enjoy life, you know, and feel alive.
284
00:12:24,429 --> 00:12:26,434
For me, it's really about feeling alive
285
00:12:26,675 --> 00:12:26,955
Yes.
286
00:12:27,235 --> 00:12:28,514
And just what you love.
287
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:30,235
No matter what people can think Yep.
288
00:12:30,355 --> 00:12:31,235
Or say Yep.
289
00:12:31,394 --> 00:12:34,934
Plus if it's in line with who you are, just do
it.
290
00:12:35,475 --> 00:12:42,710
So sounds like you feel like you have awakened
your soul's purpose.
291
00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:44,230
Yes.
292
00:12:45,330 --> 00:12:45,830
Definitely.
293
00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:53,250
And so sounds like female entrepreneurs who
once felt stuck in their ability to live the
294
00:12:53,250 --> 00:13:01,825
life they desire and wanna leave a legacy that
they're proud of, that sounds like the journey
295
00:13:01,825 --> 00:13:02,884
that you've been on.
296
00:13:03,504 --> 00:13:04,004
Yes.
297
00:13:04,065 --> 00:13:04,565
Exactly.
298
00:13:05,664 --> 00:13:06,065
Wow.
299
00:13:06,065 --> 00:13:09,299
So I would say that makes you qualified.
300
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,860
Yes?
301
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,419
Kind of.
302
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,019
Would that make you qualified?
303
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,200
Yeah.
304
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,860
You know, I I've I've done I've done it myself.
305
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,960
So done it yourself.
306
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,980
So what's what's next for you?
307
00:13:21,444 --> 00:13:23,384
What is the next step for you?
308
00:13:25,044 --> 00:13:28,725
Well, the the first step, you know, was to
switch from French to English.
309
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:30,345
It has been a huge step.
310
00:13:30,565 --> 00:13:30,964
Mhmm.
311
00:13:30,964 --> 00:13:38,740
And, for me, now the next step is really to, to
grow my company, to grow my business, to have
312
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:39,759
even more impact.
313
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:45,039
And, like, what I'm doing now, you know, be
invited to share my message, to share what is
314
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:49,834
possible because if you ask me, okay, what is
one sentence that you could share?
315
00:13:49,894 --> 00:13:55,095
It's moving from impossible to I am possible
for it's all about this.
316
00:13:55,095 --> 00:13:56,154
It's the same word.
317
00:13:56,214 --> 00:13:58,074
You just change one thing.
318
00:13:58,615 --> 00:13:59,274
Ah, yes.
319
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:01,940
So instead of I see I see how you did that.
320
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:04,920
Instead of impossible, you put a hype, I am
possible.
321
00:14:05,059 --> 00:14:05,559
Yes.
322
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:06,440
I'm possible.
323
00:14:06,820 --> 00:14:07,059
Wow.
324
00:14:07,059 --> 00:14:07,940
And So can I
325
00:14:08,179 --> 00:14:10,120
you know, moving to English was impossible?
326
00:14:10,179 --> 00:14:12,660
Who am I, you know, to think I can switch to
English.
327
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:14,840
I can work with American people.
328
00:14:14,899 --> 00:14:15,399
No.
329
00:14:15,995 --> 00:14:16,495
Impossible.
330
00:14:17,115 --> 00:14:19,615
So so may I borrow that?
331
00:14:20,075 --> 00:14:20,575
Sure.
332
00:14:20,794 --> 00:14:21,695
I'm gonna say I'm gonna say
333
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:26,634
the first time I use it at Flave, I'm gonna
say, as my colleague Flavia once said, you just
334
00:14:26,634 --> 00:14:29,029
change impossible to I am possible.
335
00:14:29,570 --> 00:14:34,289
The second time I use it, I'll say, as I once
heard, you can change impossible to I am
336
00:14:34,289 --> 00:14:34,690
possible.
337
00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:37,269
The third time is like, as I've always told
you.
338
00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:37,909
Yes.
339
00:14:38,370 --> 00:14:40,070
Impossible to I am possible.
340
00:14:40,450 --> 00:14:41,589
I love that.
341
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:43,605
I absolutely love that.
342
00:14:43,605 --> 00:14:44,105
Wow.
343
00:14:44,404 --> 00:14:45,524
Two more questions for you.
344
00:14:45,524 --> 00:14:46,345
Is that okay?
345
00:14:46,725 --> 00:14:47,445
Of course.
346
00:14:47,445 --> 00:14:47,945
Okay.
347
00:14:48,004 --> 00:14:48,804
Two more questions.
348
00:14:48,804 --> 00:14:53,700
First question is, how do people find you?
349
00:14:53,779 --> 00:14:58,580
This is gonna be streaming on, Apple Music, on
Spotify, and also on YouTube.
350
00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:02,200
How do people find you if they wanna get inform
more information?
351
00:15:03,059 --> 00:15:07,922
So they can find me exactly where you are too
because I'm having also my own podcast.
352
00:15:07,922 --> 00:15:09,985
Oh, beautiful.
353
00:15:10,065 --> 00:15:12,884
Podcast too, which is called Aligned by Design.
354
00:15:13,184 --> 00:15:14,325
Aligned by Design.
355
00:15:14,384 --> 00:15:15,365
Aligned by Design.
356
00:15:15,745 --> 00:15:20,980
And, otherwise, you can find me on Facebook.
357
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,579
Facebook is where I'm the most active, Flavia
Berrien, or on Instagram.
358
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:31,440
I'm less active on Instagram under your b's
your rules because you are the one who lead.
359
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:31,639
Okay.
360
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:35,059
Speak to Flavia Berrien for, LinkedIn also.
361
00:15:36,195 --> 00:15:36,695
Beautiful.
362
00:15:37,315 --> 00:15:39,415
I'm always open to exchanging messenger.
363
00:15:39,555 --> 00:15:44,675
If you have any question or if you are doubtful
in your life, in your business, I'd be more
364
00:15:44,675 --> 00:15:49,575
than happy to bring you clarity just, you know,
among the message exchanges.
365
00:15:50,035 --> 00:15:53,789
I'm someone very open and I love to exchange,
and I love connections.
366
00:15:54,009 --> 00:15:55,850
You love to exchange your love connection.
367
00:15:55,850 --> 00:15:56,490
Thank you.
368
00:15:56,490 --> 00:16:05,774
So last question is, what's the one thing, the
single most important thing you want female
369
00:16:05,835 --> 00:16:07,855
entrepreneurs to take away from this
discussion?
370
00:16:09,995 --> 00:16:14,575
Some one thing, I believe in you more than you
do yourself.
371
00:16:18,220 --> 00:16:24,059
And I think that, never never start to be
doubtful about who you are and what you are
372
00:16:24,059 --> 00:16:30,779
capable of because you are more than worthy,
more than capable, and you can't imagine what
373
00:16:30,779 --> 00:16:32,559
the life is reserving to you.
374
00:16:32,884 --> 00:16:38,184
So just be ready to unleash everything and be
who you are meant to be.
375
00:16:39,445 --> 00:16:39,945
Beautiful.
376
00:16:40,164 --> 00:16:40,825
Love it.
377
00:16:41,365 --> 00:16:47,700
So that's it for another edition of Vision Cast
Network where intention, collaboration, and
378
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:49,799

382
00:16:59,379 --> 00:17:01,855
So, Flavia, thank you your time today.
383
00:17:01,855 --> 00:17:02,254
I'm so sorry.
384
00:17:02,254 --> 00:17:04,255
I know you've got a busy day, so I'm gonna let
you go.
385
00:17:04,255 --> 00:17:05,134
Thank you so much.
386
00:17:05,134 --> 00:17:05,615
Be well.
387
00:17:05,615 --> 00:17:06,515
Thank you so much.
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,659
What was it like having this conversation
today?
2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,639
I love it, you know, because for me, it's as
you said, it's be intentional in what you do.
3
00:00:08,639 --> 00:00:13,654
And this is what I'm doing every day when I'm
waking up and just be here, be able to share my
4
00:00:13,654 --> 00:00:19,254
message and invite even more people, you know,
to be intentional and live the lives as they
5
00:00:19,254 --> 00:00:19,754
want.
6
00:00:20,295 --> 00:00:22,074
That's what I'm looking for for them.
7
00:00:22,294 --> 00:00:24,634
Why is intentionality so important?
8
00:00:25,619 --> 00:00:30,339
Because if you're not intentional, you are not
present to what you are doing and you're in
9
00:00:30,339 --> 00:00:32,600
your head instead of being in your heart.
10
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:39,135
For me, when you are in your heart, in a place
of heart, it's so so different because you will
11
00:00:39,135 --> 00:00:40,515
not have the same vibration.
12
00:00:40,575 --> 00:00:45,054
You will not have the same resonance, and the
ripple effect will not be the same.
13
00:00:45,054 --> 00:00:47,795
When you are in your head, for me, it's more
about automatism.
14
00:00:48,255 --> 00:00:53,234
When you're in your heart, it's all about who
you truly are and about serving others.
15
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:54,880
Bingo.
16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,480
That's a master class right there.
17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,140
Thank you.
18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,880
Welcome back to Vision Cast Network, where
intention collaboration and technology gather
19
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,079
in service to humanity.
20
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:10,795
Today's guest is Flavia Balayon, and she works
with female entrepreneurs who feel stuck in
21
00:01:10,795 --> 00:01:12,975
their ability to live their best life.
22
00:01:14,234 --> 00:01:17,755
The life that they desire so they can leave a
legacy behind them.
23
00:01:17,755 --> 00:01:18,715
So welcome Flavia.
24
00:01:18,715 --> 00:01:20,094
It's so good to see you again.
25
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:21,819
Thank you so much.
26
00:01:21,819 --> 00:01:24,640
Thank you so much, Christian, for having me
tonight with you.
27
00:01:24,939 --> 00:01:25,439
Absolutely.
28
00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:27,819
So give us a little bit of backstory, will you?
29
00:01:27,819 --> 00:01:32,159
A little bit of backstory on how you came to do
what it is that you're doing.
30
00:01:32,825 --> 00:01:37,805
What some of the, some of the good news, some
of the bad news, and how that shaped and formed
31
00:01:38,104 --> 00:01:39,965
your ability to be of greater service.
32
00:01:40,664 --> 00:01:41,164
Sure.
33
00:01:41,305 --> 00:01:47,405
So my journey, you know, start, like, 4 year
and a half where the word had a moment of
34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,180
breathe, if I can say, during COVID time.
35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,560
Okay.
36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,859
And, you know, at that time, I had everything
to be successful.
37
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:54,659
Correct.
38
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:59,840
Amazing pay payroll, amazing husband, beautiful
flat, kids.
39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:00,719
I had everything.
40
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:03,435
But inside of me, I was I was not happy.
41
00:02:03,435 --> 00:02:04,954
I was not fulfilling myself.
42
00:02:04,954 --> 00:02:09,995
And for so many years, you know, I was looking
for the next salary increase, say the next
43
00:02:09,995 --> 00:02:10,495
step.
44
00:02:11,114 --> 00:02:14,759
And during COVID time, I was, that's not my
life.
45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,620
That's not what I meant to do.
46
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:19,799
And I rediscovered life during COVID, and I
was, okay.
47
00:02:19,799 --> 00:02:21,579
Is there something that I can do?
48
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:27,400
And for me, it has been quite a journey,
honestly, for for years because I had huge
49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,459
moment of doubt.
50
00:02:28,645 --> 00:02:28,805
Okay.
51
00:02:28,805 --> 00:02:36,965
I had huge moment of fulfillment, and I started
my my journey in French in France, and one day,
52
00:02:36,965 --> 00:02:38,504
I decided to go global.
53
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:39,604
Uh-huh.
54
00:02:39,604 --> 00:02:44,389
At that moment, you know, my inner villain
started to say, are you sure that you are meant
55
00:02:44,389 --> 00:02:45,129
to be global?
56
00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:48,090
And I was, I don't know.
57
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:49,610
Maybe no, finally.
58
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,409
But, yes, I was.
59
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:58,150
And for me, you know, it was all the time, and
that's why today, I'm working more on who you
60
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:02,125
are, who you want really to become before
having the strategy.
61
00:03:02,125 --> 00:03:06,604
Because I think I have done most of the
mistakes you can do when you start to be an
62
00:03:06,604 --> 00:03:12,729
entrepreneur, meaning looking for the best
tool, looking for perfection, be everywhere,
63
00:03:12,870 --> 00:03:16,330
talking to everybody and finding getting to
know one.
64
00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:19,590
And at the end, I discovered, but, oh, am I?
65
00:03:19,590 --> 00:03:21,510
Which entrepreneur are you really?
66
00:03:21,510 --> 00:03:23,270
Which CEO do I want to embody?
67
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:24,324
Which legacy do I want
68
00:03:24,324 --> 00:03:25,344
to do?
69
00:03:25,365 --> 00:03:27,284
And which impact do I want to have?
70
00:03:27,284 --> 00:03:31,205
Not the one that my coaches were telling me,
you have to do this.
71
00:03:31,205 --> 00:03:31,764
You have
72
00:03:31,764 --> 00:03:31,925
to
73
00:03:31,925 --> 00:03:32,905
serve those people.
74
00:03:33,205 --> 00:03:35,145
And that's when I say, okay.
75
00:03:35,844 --> 00:03:36,344
Stop.
76
00:03:37,169 --> 00:03:37,669
Stop.
77
00:03:38,049 --> 00:03:39,009
We we do it again.
78
00:03:39,009 --> 00:03:39,409
Okay.
79
00:03:39,409 --> 00:03:45,109
Now that's not what I wanna do and that's how I
shifted my business to do what I'm doing today.
80
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:50,449
How things is amazing women were doubtful
because I don't know if I can do it because
81
00:03:50,449 --> 00:03:51,349
I've been there.
82
00:03:52,855 --> 00:03:59,814
Oh, I know what is it to have all those stuff
to want to serve everybody, but before you need
83
00:03:59,814 --> 00:04:01,575
to know who you are truly Yes.
84
00:04:01,655 --> 00:04:05,194
And why it aligned to who you are to have after
an alignment.
85
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:06,340
Wow.
86
00:04:06,340 --> 00:04:08,340
So that's that's a powerful discovery.
87
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:11,479
If I can just recap here for a minute, and I
wanna make sure that I got this straight.
88
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:14,360
So you were doing great and then COVID came.
89
00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:15,300
Yes.
90
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:20,824
And COVID changed your entire world, and it
forced you to really look inside of yourself
91
00:04:20,824 --> 00:04:22,264
and make some tough decisions.
92
00:04:22,264 --> 00:04:24,185
I imagine that that was not comfortable.
93
00:04:24,185 --> 00:04:25,084
Is this correct?
94
00:04:25,704 --> 00:04:26,024
Yes.
95
00:04:26,024 --> 00:04:27,485
It was completely uncomfortable.
96
00:04:27,865 --> 00:04:28,845
Completely uncomfortable.
97
00:04:28,904 --> 00:04:30,345
It's like on a 0 to 10 scale.
98
00:04:30,345 --> 00:04:31,544
0 was like, oh, this was great.
99
00:04:31,544 --> 00:04:32,504
10 is like, oh my gosh.
100
00:04:32,504 --> 00:04:34,019
This is the worst thing that's ever happened.
101
00:04:34,019 --> 00:04:35,879
Where were you on that 0 to 10?
102
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:41,620
At that time, maybe at a good 6 because I
didn't want my employer to know that I was on
103
00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:43,480
my way to start a business.
104
00:04:43,620 --> 00:04:45,560
So you had that component as well.
105
00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:46,180
Yes.
106
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:48,839
You had an employer that was maybe looking over
your shoulder.
107
00:04:49,654 --> 00:04:50,134
Exactly.
108
00:04:50,134 --> 00:04:54,214
And, you know, when you're working in
spirituality, you don't want them to know what
109
00:04:54,214 --> 00:04:55,274
you are doing, honestly.
110
00:04:55,414 --> 00:04:55,735
Yeah.
111
00:04:55,735 --> 00:04:55,975
Yeah.
112
00:04:55,975 --> 00:04:58,134
So it's a little bit it's a so it's a little
bit dicey.
113
00:04:58,134 --> 00:05:06,169
And so you then decided after you made that
uncomfortable leap, you tuned into more of who
114
00:05:06,169 --> 00:05:12,169
you are inside, and then you modeled that and
brought that forward and then said, okay.
115
00:05:12,169 --> 00:05:13,789
This truth of who I am
116
00:05:14,329 --> 00:05:14,829
Yeah.
117
00:05:15,449 --> 00:05:16,750
Is who I'm gonna serve.
118
00:05:17,370 --> 00:05:17,870
Exactly.
119
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:19,384
Wow.
120
00:05:19,384 --> 00:05:25,464
And how did that feel in your body to make that
realization that the pain, the struggle, the
121
00:05:25,464 --> 00:05:30,365
transformation was really a gift that you could
offer to other people, other women?
122
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:36,310
Well, you know, on the moment, I was anger
because I was, oh, I spent all that money and
123
00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:38,569
my business is not where I wanted to be.
124
00:05:38,949 --> 00:05:44,625
And after, I look back and I say, because
that's maybe where you are not supposed to be.
125
00:05:44,925 --> 00:05:49,805
Because you're not supposed to listen to what
other are telling you, but just connect to your
126
00:05:49,805 --> 00:05:50,205
soul.
127
00:05:50,205 --> 00:05:51,324
Connect to who you are.
128
00:05:51,324 --> 00:05:51,645
Okay.
129
00:05:51,645 --> 00:05:54,444
Connect what what is really important to you.
130
00:05:54,444 --> 00:05:55,165
I'll do it.
131
00:05:55,165 --> 00:05:56,925
And I discovered that, okay.
132
00:05:56,925 --> 00:06:02,399
Maybe I'm a visionary to say you need to start
with you first before launching a business.
133
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:02,959
You know?
134
00:06:02,959 --> 00:06:04,319
You need to know who you are.
135
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:08,479
And most of the time, she's a step that you are
burning, and I burned it.
136
00:06:08,479 --> 00:06:09,519
I I skip it.
137
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:10,079
You know?
138
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:10,719
And I was, no.
139
00:06:10,719 --> 00:06:13,995
I'm gonna be like everybody, but I'm not
everybody.
140
00:06:14,214 --> 00:06:14,535
Yes.
141
00:06:14,535 --> 00:06:19,334
And because I have 17 years, you know, in Reman
Resources, for me, it's I am unique.
142
00:06:19,334 --> 00:06:20,314
You are unique.
143
00:06:20,535 --> 00:06:21,514
Everybody is unique.
144
00:06:21,735 --> 00:06:28,060
And for me, it's my duty to say, I want you to
reveal your unicity, but but I was not doing
145
00:06:28,060 --> 00:06:29,040
this for me.
146
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,419
And after when I did it, it was magic happened.
147
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:33,459
Wow.
148
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:38,500
So, yeah, I have the saying, the magic happens
when who you are becomes what you do.
149
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:39,379
Exactly.
150
00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:41,519
So be yourself because everyone else is taken.
151
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:42,019
Right?
152
00:06:42,425 --> 00:06:42,925
Yeah.
153
00:06:43,104 --> 00:06:43,604
Exactly.
154
00:06:43,785 --> 00:06:45,084
You did a lot of work.
155
00:06:45,704 --> 00:06:46,925
You made some sacrifices.
156
00:06:46,985 --> 00:06:48,204
You weathered COVID.
157
00:06:48,264 --> 00:06:54,264
You kept things, like, on the down low to make
sure that you weren't incongruent with your
158
00:06:54,264 --> 00:06:54,764
paycheck.
159
00:06:55,159 --> 00:06:58,779
And then it's like, oh, I hit this other wall,
and I gotta go in even deeper.
160
00:06:59,399 --> 00:07:04,300
So what did that next level of deep dive really
do for you?
161
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,500
So real next step, you know, was to see my
kids.
162
00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:16,884
And when my kids are coming and say, mom, now
you're laughing all the time with your clients.
163
00:07:17,024 --> 00:07:19,044
They can hear you in the living room.
164
00:07:19,104 --> 00:07:20,004
You're jumping.
165
00:07:20,225 --> 00:07:21,204
You're dancing.
166
00:07:21,345 --> 00:07:22,084
You're celebrating.
167
00:07:23,024 --> 00:07:27,819
So such is so great to see you that way because
they they saw me in the other way, you know,
168
00:07:27,819 --> 00:07:34,779
kind of never be there for dinner, never be
there, for breakfast, skipping so many
169
00:07:34,779 --> 00:07:36,220
important family moment.
170
00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:41,279
And now I'm here, and last time my daughter
came to me and said, mom, can I use Canva?
171
00:07:41,355 --> 00:07:43,535
And I was, what for?
172
00:07:43,675 --> 00:07:45,134
I want to create stickers.
173
00:07:45,194 --> 00:07:46,955
And I was, oh, interesting.
174
00:07:46,955 --> 00:07:49,214
And what do you want with to do with your
stickers?
175
00:07:49,355 --> 00:07:50,495
I can sell them?
176
00:07:50,795 --> 00:07:52,654
And I was, oh my god.
177
00:07:52,714 --> 00:07:55,769
That's how you know you are having an impact.
178
00:07:55,769 --> 00:08:00,110
You are creating your own legacy by being an
example and that your kids after.
179
00:08:00,329 --> 00:08:02,089
My mother is not thinking for so much.
180
00:08:02,089 --> 00:08:02,589
Okay.
181
00:08:02,889 --> 00:08:04,089
I want to be a doctor.
182
00:08:04,089 --> 00:08:04,410
No.
183
00:08:04,410 --> 00:08:10,095
She want to create stickers and have her own
shop on Etsy, and she's you gotta turn
184
00:08:10,475 --> 00:08:10,975
10.
185
00:08:11,194 --> 00:08:12,014
She's 10?
186
00:08:12,475 --> 00:08:13,295
She's 10.
187
00:08:13,595 --> 00:08:14,074
Wow.
188
00:08:14,074 --> 00:08:17,134
So this is leadership by example.
189
00:08:17,915 --> 00:08:18,415
Yeah.
190
00:08:19,194 --> 00:08:20,714
How do you feel about that?
191
00:08:20,714 --> 00:08:23,214
How do you feel about being a leader by
example?
192
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,839
Well, I think that I finally find my true
meaning of who I am.
193
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:29,339
Yeah.
194
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,560
And, finally, I kind of embody it.
195
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:38,315
And I remember that over the last 2 years,
because when I was on my way on the age of
196
00:08:38,315 --> 00:08:39,195
quitting my job
197
00:08:39,355 --> 00:08:39,675
Yep.
198
00:08:39,754 --> 00:08:43,055
I heard that I was pregnant, which was
completely unexpected.
199
00:08:43,434 --> 00:08:43,934
Yes.
200
00:08:44,634 --> 00:08:50,394
So as being you know, when you were talking on
11 to 1 to 10, I was at a 9 at that moment.
201
00:08:50,394 --> 00:08:50,875
Yeah.
202
00:08:50,875 --> 00:08:51,274
Wow.
203
00:08:51,355 --> 00:08:58,370
When I quit my job, 6 figure job, to run my
business, being pregnant, and I did it.
204
00:08:58,509 --> 00:09:02,509
I took the leap because I said, if I don't do
it now, I will never do it.
205
00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:06,305
Even if my husband has no revenue, he's working
from home.
206
00:09:06,305 --> 00:09:06,545
Yep.
207
00:09:06,545 --> 00:09:11,665
If it was that's a huge, you know, risk and
decision, but he was ready to do it.
208
00:09:11,665 --> 00:09:15,024
And it was, for me, so fulfilling to Yep.
209
00:09:15,264 --> 00:09:20,004
Leave all those events that I've been living,
like, Toni Robbins and in Kraziosi event.
210
00:09:20,330 --> 00:09:25,309
Having my son in my belly, and, you know, the
first word he said was, yeah.
211
00:09:25,529 --> 00:09:26,090
I thought,
212
00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:26,730
oh my god.
213
00:09:26,730 --> 00:09:27,690
You don't need to speak
214
00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:28,190
French?
215
00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:28,730
The
216
00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:29,529
first word he
217
00:09:29,529 --> 00:09:36,004
gave me is is English, and now my son listened
to me more in English than French.
218
00:09:36,384 --> 00:09:37,524
And I'm okay.
219
00:09:37,705 --> 00:09:39,424
That's out of the thing.
220
00:09:39,424 --> 00:09:39,924
Wow.
221
00:09:40,304 --> 00:09:43,285
That is that is powerful on many levels.
222
00:09:43,504 --> 00:09:51,879
Real briefly, there have been a lot of studies
that talk about what children gestating in
223
00:09:51,879 --> 00:10:01,100
utero experience and how that shapes their
lives and how that sets them up for a path of
224
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,845
being empowered or maybe the path of being
frightened.
225
00:10:06,705 --> 00:10:07,184
Yeah.
226
00:10:07,184 --> 00:10:17,629
So you sounds like you have chain you've made a
generational imprint on your children and your
227
00:10:18,009 --> 00:10:20,910
children's children's children.
228
00:10:21,769 --> 00:10:22,090
Yes.
229
00:10:22,090 --> 00:10:24,970
I am gonna be the change maker, you know, as a
father.
230
00:10:25,049 --> 00:10:25,549
Changemaker.
231
00:10:25,850 --> 00:10:28,170
So how do you feel about that?
232
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:32,250
I know you told us how you thought, but how do
you how does that feel in your body to know
233
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:36,424
that you are making a positive difference for
generations?
234
00:10:36,725 --> 00:10:41,945
Because you did the difficult work, other
people will benefit.
235
00:10:42,884 --> 00:10:43,384
Yes.
236
00:10:43,684 --> 00:10:47,544
Well, for me, I wanna say that I'm so grateful.
237
00:10:47,684 --> 00:10:50,960
That's the first word that come to me because
Gratitude.
238
00:10:50,990 --> 00:10:54,000
Is giving me this opportunity, you know, to do
what I'm doing.
239
00:10:54,379 --> 00:10:59,180
Sometimes, it's I'm crazy because I have done
date with Destiny being, like, 5 months
240
00:10:59,180 --> 00:10:59,660
pregnant
241
00:10:59,899 --> 00:11:00,100
Yep.
242
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:02,825
Ending my days at 9 AM French time.
243
00:11:02,825 --> 00:11:03,144
You know?
244
00:11:03,144 --> 00:11:07,784
It's a you start today at 6 PM, and you're at 9
PM, and you're pregnant.
245
00:11:07,784 --> 00:11:08,745
You're not crazy.
246
00:11:08,745 --> 00:11:09,245
No.
247
00:11:09,304 --> 00:11:10,284
It's great.
248
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:16,410
And for me, it's all about what I'm I'm gonna
let, you know, to my kids.
249
00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:18,730
It's not a matter of, okay, you're gonna have a
flight.
250
00:11:18,730 --> 00:11:19,870
You're gonna have money.
251
00:11:19,930 --> 00:11:20,250
No.
252
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:22,970
I want them to have a fulfilling life.
253
00:11:22,970 --> 00:11:26,330
And the mistake I have done, I want them to
avoid it.
254
00:11:26,330 --> 00:11:26,649
You know?
255
00:11:26,649 --> 00:11:28,325
I want them to time.
256
00:11:28,325 --> 00:11:30,665
I want them just to do what they love.
257
00:11:30,805 --> 00:11:36,805
And from the family I'm coming from, you know,
I was from a family, you need to be the best
258
00:11:36,805 --> 00:11:37,305
student.
259
00:11:37,445 --> 00:11:37,684
Yeah.
260
00:11:37,684 --> 00:11:40,325
You need to be the best at class and have the
best work
261
00:11:40,485 --> 00:11:40,605
Yeah.
262
00:11:40,725 --> 00:11:41,625
And so on.
263
00:11:41,764 --> 00:11:44,069
And I understood that that's not fulfilling.
264
00:11:44,069 --> 00:11:44,549
You know?
265
00:11:44,549 --> 00:11:49,289
I I want having a nice salary, more than most
of what French people do.
266
00:11:49,350 --> 00:11:50,389
But was I happy?
267
00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:50,789
No.
268
00:11:50,789 --> 00:11:52,089
Was I living on vacation?
269
00:11:52,149 --> 00:11:52,629
No.
270
00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:54,470
Was I enjoying time with my family?
271
00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:54,970
No.
272
00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:55,610
Yeah.
273
00:11:56,014 --> 00:12:00,674
I want to show simplicity to my kids, but joy
and fulfillment.
274
00:12:01,695 --> 00:12:02,095
Yeah.
275
00:12:02,095 --> 00:12:02,335
Yes.
276
00:12:02,335 --> 00:12:04,754
For me, so much more important.
277
00:12:04,815 --> 00:12:08,495
And if today, I'm gonna leave that Earth to
say, okay.
278
00:12:08,495 --> 00:12:12,289
What I got from my mom, it's resilience,
courage.
279
00:12:13,230 --> 00:12:14,049
That's what happened.
280
00:12:14,110 --> 00:12:14,929
You are resourceful.
281
00:12:15,549 --> 00:12:19,389
And she gave us, you know, this willingness to
fight for what we love
282
00:12:19,789 --> 00:12:20,029
Wow.
283
00:12:20,269 --> 00:12:24,429
And just, enjoy life, you know, and feel alive.
284
00:12:24,429 --> 00:12:26,434
For me, it's really about feeling alive
285
00:12:26,675 --> 00:12:26,955
Yes.
286
00:12:27,235 --> 00:12:28,514
And just what you love.
287
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:30,235
No matter what people can think Yep.
288
00:12:30,355 --> 00:12:31,235
Or say Yep.
289
00:12:31,394 --> 00:12:34,934
Plus if it's in line with who you are, just do
it.
290
00:12:35,475 --> 00:12:42,710
So sounds like you feel like you have awakened
your soul's purpose.
291
00:12:43,730 --> 00:12:44,230
Yes.
292
00:12:45,330 --> 00:12:45,830
Definitely.
293
00:12:46,610 --> 00:12:53,250
And so sounds like female entrepreneurs who
once felt stuck in their ability to live the
294
00:12:53,250 --> 00:13:01,825
life they desire and wanna leave a legacy that
they're proud of, that sounds like the journey
295
00:13:01,825 --> 00:13:02,884
that you've been on.
296
00:13:03,504 --> 00:13:04,004
Yes.
297
00:13:04,065 --> 00:13:04,565
Exactly.
298
00:13:05,664 --> 00:13:06,065
Wow.
299
00:13:06,065 --> 00:13:09,299
So I would say that makes you qualified.
300
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,860
Yes?
301
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,419
Kind of.
302
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,019
Would that make you qualified?
303
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,200
Yeah.
304
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,860
You know, I I've I've done I've done it myself.
305
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,960
So done it yourself.
306
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,980
So what's what's next for you?
307
00:13:21,444 --> 00:13:23,384
What is the next step for you?
308
00:13:25,044 --> 00:13:28,725
Well, the the first step, you know, was to
switch from French to English.
309
00:13:28,725 --> 00:13:30,345
It has been a huge step.
310
00:13:30,565 --> 00:13:30,964
Mhmm.
311
00:13:30,964 --> 00:13:38,740
And, for me, now the next step is really to, to
grow my company, to grow my business, to have
312
00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:39,759
even more impact.
313
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:45,039
And, like, what I'm doing now, you know, be
invited to share my message, to share what is
314
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:49,834
possible because if you ask me, okay, what is
one sentence that you could share?
315
00:13:49,894 --> 00:13:55,095
It's moving from impossible to I am possible
for it's all about this.
316
00:13:55,095 --> 00:13:56,154
It's the same word.
317
00:13:56,214 --> 00:13:58,074
You just change one thing.
318
00:13:58,615 --> 00:13:59,274
Ah, yes.
319
00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:01,940
So instead of I see I see how you did that.
320
00:14:01,940 --> 00:14:04,920
Instead of impossible, you put a hype, I am
possible.
321
00:14:05,059 --> 00:14:05,559
Yes.
322
00:14:05,620 --> 00:14:06,440
I'm possible.
323
00:14:06,820 --> 00:14:07,059
Wow.
324
00:14:07,059 --> 00:14:07,940
And So can I
325
00:14:08,179 --> 00:14:10,120
you know, moving to English was impossible?
326
00:14:10,179 --> 00:14:12,660
Who am I, you know, to think I can switch to
English.
327
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:14,840
I can work with American people.
328
00:14:14,899 --> 00:14:15,399
No.
329
00:14:15,995 --> 00:14:16,495
Impossible.
330
00:14:17,115 --> 00:14:19,615
So so may I borrow that?
331
00:14:20,075 --> 00:14:20,575
Sure.
332
00:14:20,794 --> 00:14:21,695
I'm gonna say I'm gonna say
333
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:26,634
the first time I use it at Flave, I'm gonna
say, as my colleague Flavia once said, you just
334
00:14:26,634 --> 00:14:29,029
change impossible to I am possible.
335
00:14:29,570 --> 00:14:34,289
The second time I use it, I'll say, as I once
heard, you can change impossible to I am
336
00:14:34,289 --> 00:14:34,690
possible.
337
00:14:34,690 --> 00:14:37,269
The third time is like, as I've always told
you.
338
00:14:37,409 --> 00:14:37,909
Yes.
339
00:14:38,370 --> 00:14:40,070
Impossible to I am possible.
340
00:14:40,450 --> 00:14:41,589
I love that.
341
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:43,605
I absolutely love that.
342
00:14:43,605 --> 00:14:44,105
Wow.
343
00:14:44,404 --> 00:14:45,524
Two more questions for you.
344
00:14:45,524 --> 00:14:46,345
Is that okay?
345
00:14:46,725 --> 00:14:47,445
Of course.
346
00:14:47,445 --> 00:14:47,945
Okay.
347
00:14:48,004 --> 00:14:48,804
Two more questions.
348
00:14:48,804 --> 00:14:53,700
First question is, how do people find you?
349
00:14:53,779 --> 00:14:58,580
This is gonna be streaming on, Apple Music, on
Spotify, and also on YouTube.
350
00:14:58,580 --> 00:15:02,200
How do people find you if they wanna get inform
more information?
351
00:15:03,059 --> 00:15:07,922
So they can find me exactly where you are too
because I'm having also my own podcast.
352
00:15:07,922 --> 00:15:09,985
Oh, beautiful.
353
00:15:10,065 --> 00:15:12,884
Podcast too, which is called Aligned by Design.
354
00:15:13,184 --> 00:15:14,325
Aligned by Design.
355
00:15:14,384 --> 00:15:15,365
Aligned by Design.
356
00:15:15,745 --> 00:15:20,980
And, otherwise, you can find me on Facebook.
357
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,579
Facebook is where I'm the most active, Flavia
Berrien, or on Instagram.
358
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:31,440
I'm less active on Instagram under your b's
your rules because you are the one who lead.
359
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:31,639
Okay.
360
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:35,059
Speak to Flavia Berrien for, LinkedIn also.
361
00:15:36,195 --> 00:15:36,695
Beautiful.
362
00:15:37,315 --> 00:15:39,415
I'm always open to exchanging messenger.
363
00:15:39,555 --> 00:15:44,675
If you have any question or if you are doubtful
in your life, in your business, I'd be more
364
00:15:44,675 --> 00:15:49,575
than happy to bring you clarity just, you know,
among the message exchanges.
365
00:15:50,035 --> 00:15:53,789
I'm someone very open and I love to exchange,
and I love connections.
366
00:15:54,009 --> 00:15:55,850
You love to exchange your love connection.
367
00:15:55,850 --> 00:15:56,490
Thank you.
368
00:15:56,490 --> 00:16:05,774
So last question is, what's the one thing, the
single most important thing you want female
369
00:16:05,835 --> 00:16:07,855
entrepreneurs to take away from this
discussion?
370
00:16:09,995 --> 00:16:14,575
Some one thing, I believe in you more than you
do yourself.
371
00:16:18,220 --> 00:16:24,059
And I think that, never never start to be
doubtful about who you are and what you are
372
00:16:24,059 --> 00:16:30,779
capable of because you are more than worthy,
more than capable, and you can't imagine what
373
00:16:30,779 --> 00:16:32,559
the life is reserving to you.
374
00:16:32,884 --> 00:16:38,184
So just be ready to unleash everything and be
who you are meant to be.
375
00:16:39,445 --> 00:16:39,945
Beautiful.
376
00:16:40,164 --> 00:16:40,825
Love it.

00:16:41,365 --> 00:16:47,700
