Everyday Heroes
Welcome Everyday Heroes, I’m Bert Botta, the creator of the Everyday Heroes podcast series and welcome. One day about 3 years ago I experienced something that would forever change how I look at relationships! Here's what happened …I was the editor of the Private Jet Pilots newsletter and I was doing interviews for pilot profiles in the newsletter. I’ve always been a “people person” but so much of the time my relationships were like “Hey, how you doing, gotta run!” That usually left me wanting more. But during the interviews, I got to really know my fellow pilots, I discovered how much I really enjoyed getting to know them on a more personal level by working with them that way. That feeling of connection made me realize that I found something that I’ve always been good at, connecting people with something that I really enjoyed doing, TURNING INTERVIEWS INTO PODCASTS that connect everyone, the guys and gals who I interview with the ones who listen to my podcasts and me! Perfect! Long story short, everyone wins! My podcasts are more than random stories; they are powerful messages of entertainment, hope, education, connection, and community for my listeners, especially for those of us in the aviation community.

And if you have a story that needs telling, let me know and we’ll make you the next Everyday Hero! Bert

(3) How This Corporate Jet Flight Attendant Went From "Party Girl" to Helping to Heal the Aviation Community!
I call Christina a Diva: “A woman who ‘engages in unreasonable behavior and makes demands on others that potentially exceed the measure of hers and their talent!’"
Christina set the table for our interview by stating her motto; “My life purpose is to be a force for good through genuine love and kindness in order to raise the vibration of planet earth.”
With that said, she is the creator of the Aviation Wellness Community, a Facebook community that brings together aviation professionals who support, encourage, and love on one another while also providing important health and wellness resources to this unique community who face challenges unlike most earth-bound creatures!
In her interview she speaks candidly about the unique challenges of her life growing up as a “party girl,” the effect that had on her and how her past motivated her to change her ways and readied her for her career as a corporate flight attendant, being solely responsible in the cabin for the safety, comfort and well-being of her high-end clients.
She has a powerful, convincing yet comforting way of telling her story and she talks about the importance, and challenge, of “walking her talk” while trying to be authentic with her feelings.
You will be motivated to take her main attribute, as told to her by one of her friends, that of “taking a negative and turning it into a positive” and using that in your own life.
Christina has an admittedly low tolerance for “small talk” and constantly seeks to find ways to help others create meaning in her and their life. She wants to know “what your biggest problems, your biggest challenges in life are!” She says how important it is to be open and realize that your story, your life can be an important learning experience for others and how important it is to share your story with others.
She seeks constantly to help others discover their vision, their passion in life and how she can inspire and support others to put that into action, especially during these times when it’s possible to totally “reset” our lives.
