It Takes Guts Podcast: Recent Episodes
Rebecca Pavon
It takes GUTS to be real, raw, vulnerable.
It takes GUTS to change, to grow, to say NO, to improve yourself every. single. day.
It also takes GUTS to battle with an autoimmune disease and not let it define you, but instead push you to be better.
On the "It Takes Guts podcast" I'm bringing on rockstar guests who share their inspiring stories of overcoming challenges in health & wellness, career, parenting, relationships, entrepreneurship, everyday struggles and pressures in a real, raw, authentic way.
We're not using filters, we're getting vulnerable and sharing what most people don't see.
Getting real, raw and vulnerable discussing our fears and doubts around having another child after losing our baby boy.
The impact that that trauma made in our lives and some of the thoughts that plagued us.Β
We talk about the identity crisis that happened when going from parents to a living child to parents of an angel child.Β
We also discuss the one KEY thing that needed to happen in order for us to be ready.

Taking it back to March 2018. The month Ollie was born.Β
Also the month Oscar decides to leave his corporate job and start his own Digital Marketing Business.
This kickstarted us trying and failing in our careers and ultimately finding success through our failures.
"With every seed of failure comes an equivalent seed of success".
A thought occurred to us after our son passed away.
Maybe all the failure we had endured and all of the adversity we faced actually prepared us to be better handle his passing.
There are some things that we learned through our journey of failing in business that actually did help us when healing from his loss.
Give this episode a listen to see what exactly I'm talking about.
And as always, thank you for being a part of our journey β₯οΈ

In the 6 years Oscar and I have been together, we've gone through some real adversity as a couple.
We got pregnant 9 months after dating.
We left our corporate jobs and became entrepreneurs while navigating life with a newborn.
We lost all of our clients in our business and went "broke" for a period of time.
I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and had poor quality of life until I healed.
But, there was nothing that would shake our relationship more than losing our world, our 2 year old baby boy.
Listen in as we share how that impacted our relationship, how we felt toward one another after the accident and how we got to where we are today.

It starts in Cartagena Colombia.
A woman, operating in a notebook factory in La Matuna, wanting to get closer to her dreams, set course for New York.
A daughter, operating in a factory of dreams, pencil and paper lover, found in the land of her roots a lack in style and design of the notebooks.

Who better to gain insights about the industry from, than the Co-Founder and CEO of the the fastest growing broad spectrum CBD company in the US?! On today's episode of the "It Takes Guts" Podcast I had the esteem pleasure of interviewing Joy Smith of Joy Organics.

What separates Joy and Joy Organics from the many CBD owners and companies on the market today is their mission to provide high-quality, effective and reliable family of CBD products with customer care to match.

On today's episode of the It Takes Guts Podcast join me as I have a conversation with my partner Oscar Guerrero about embracing and rebounding from failure. As part of our society we've been conditioned to see failure as something negative, so much so that too many people are paralyzed from taking action and going after what they really want because they have a strong "fear of failure". I know I spent the majority of my life never doing anything that wasn't "safe" because I was terrified at trying and failing, I was constantly chasing perfection. On our entrepreneurial journeys Oscar and I both have experienced failure and the depressive emotions that resulted from them. In this episode we share our own personal stories of failure, the consequent funks that we fell into and how we've been able to rebound from them.
Successful people will fail often, and will rebound quickly from their failures.

In today's episode of the It Takes Guts Podcast I touch on the second meaning behind the name "It Takes Guts". You see, along with about roughly 3 million Americans I've been diagnosed with the invisible, hidden disease: IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). For those who've never heard about IBD here's a little info for ya:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a term for two conditions (Crohnβs disease and ulcerative colitis) that are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Prolonged inflammation results in damage to the GI tract.
Not many people understand IBD - it is a largely hidden disease, and one that causes stigma, fear and isolation for those who live with it. It is thought that many people with the condition go undiagnosed and suffer in silence.
I invite you to listen to my own personal journey of battling IBD where I get real about the symptoms, the emotions, the struggle, the hope and the healing that's given me my life back.

Learn how to get good at saying NO.Β
In today's episode I talk about the power of saying NO. Saying no to people, places, jobs, things, etc. that don't serve you and don't allow you to reach the fulfillment in life you're striving for. The best part of saying no to what's unimportant is that you're allowing yourself to say yes to what IS important, what will take you to that next level, the opportunities that will come out of it will amaze you.

Ever find yourself surrounded by people that just drain your energy? That make you feel tired, annoyed, put you in a bad mood and just have this negative halo around them that seems to be contagious? They are what I like to call energy vampires, a term I coined from one of my mentors.Β
