Reunited and it is truly video podcast ear candy! We are bringing back one of our favorite guests from Season One, and a dear friend of Dominique’s to the Chat Sessions and they have upped their game to make this a highlight episode yet again! We are talking about philanthropist, award-winning children’s book author, executive producer and cystic fibrosis activist Travis Flores! 2019 has been a year of many major life moments for Travis. It’s the 15th anniversary of his children’s book, he’s featured in Season Four of The CW’s MY LAST DAYS (created by Jane the Virgin actor and Five Feet Apart director Justin Baldoni), opened up about his coming out story and amazing husband, and now, Travis has been so open about his fight for a life-saving third double lung transplant. Travis’ super empowered and super honest way of life impacts so many of his fans, the #YellowHeartSquad, and we’re honored to call him a friend and supporter of InvisiYouth. In this episode, Dominique and Travis catch up on all that they’ve had going on this year and how Travis’ episode on MY LAST DAYS led to a viral outpouring of love for his love and life story, examine the stereotypes around masculinity and chronic illness and discuss why it seems there’s such a struggle for the public to identify strength within those that have chronic illnesses, develop tactics to staying authentic when you’re sharing your story—whether on social media or when you’re talking with family and friends, throw down some amazing reasons why they believe vulnerability and strength are synonymous, and give ways we can all slowly become more confident in our lives that include our chronic illness/disability. Plus, Travis tells a story for the first time on camera that gets Dominique laughing so hard. Spoiler: it is a story from Travis’ teen years at a children’s hospital which includes nighttime strolls and morgues…but trust us when we say it’s definitely a part of the episode you don’t want to miss. In the second half of the episode, Travis and Dominique are developing a path to self-empowerment that includes the ways we can rewire that inner monologue of self-doubt when we think our health limits any goal, try to understand why people feel afraid to talk about chronic illness with any sort of joy, humor and power (and why there’s an assumption that chronic illness can only be shown in a melancholy light), suggest ways young people can build a life for themselves within their chronic illness/disability and build relationships with friends/colleagues that become your allies for success, talk candidly about the politically correct—or PC culture—of how media and even our inner circle are scared to discuss youth and chronic illness/disability together, and how that fear of saying the wrong thing actually makes our community more invisible than it needs to be, and talk about what Dominique and Travis feel are the best ways to feel fulfilled during our health setbacks and disassociate weakness from our self-description. These friends bring together a podcast episode jam-packed with major moments of power, moments of laughter, moments of reflection, moments of hones advice, and moments of joy. This is an episode anyone can relate to because it will feel like you’re sitting down with two that are super grateful to fight for all their tomorrows while appreciating the now.

Academy winning filmmaker Nicholas Reed and Ryan Azevedo join Elizabeth to talk about the deeply moving YouTube Originals Documentary, Claire. And a real superhero joined the show. Author/social media influencer Travis Flores shares his experience of living with cystic fibrosis, and the feelings he has, as he awaits his 3rd double lung transplant.

Travis Flores is a philanthropist and award-winning author. We are lucky enough to know Travis through our mutual friend Shira Strongin from Sick Chicks, featured in episode 045. Travis talks about how he first encountered the disability community when he was eight-years-old, when he first entered the hospital. He was diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis, but at that point, he seemed very healthy. He had trouble relating to other kids in the hospital with various forms of disability, so he did not make any meaningful connection with anyone in the community of people with disabilities.   Travis left the hospital and continued living the same life as before, but with the spectre of disability quietly haunting him. His personal recognition of what his CF diagnosis meant for him really struck him in his  teenage years. By age 16, he had written a book about his journey with CF, and went on a book tour. He graduated from high school that same year, and got an undergraduate and graduate degree by the time he was 22. He felt a drive to accomplish as much as he could as soon as he could, since his future with the CF diagnosis was uncertain. However, he realized that his personal achievements, though huge and important, weren’t the totality of life. Only when he was away at college and had just split up with his long-term girlfriend, did the barely-there spectre become an unmistakable bloated monster. He couldn’t hide from his disability any longer. He felt trapped. He realized that he was alone.   Travis found that in addition to his personal accomplishments, a way to fulfill the loneliness he felt was to jump headfirst into the disabled community, a group of people he spent his early teenage years trying to avoid. A big way he did that was by becoming a philanthropist, raising money for organizations such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the CF Foundation, and many others.   Thank you for joining us, Travis Flores! Check out his book, The Spider Who Never Gave Up! And his latest venture, a TV series called Sorta Supportive.

Cystic Fibrosis Podcast 74 - Travis Flores Giving Back To The CF Community by Jerry Cahill

We get asked all the time what are the best careers, the how to’s on choosing a university, picking a major, or choosing a job, because living with an illness/disability makes that selection unique to others. This second themed-group of episodes is called “So You Got that Diagnosis…Now What” and for the next six episodes, we’ll feature special guests that have built exceptional careers all while living with illness and disability. We’re so lucky our first guest is award-winning children’s book author, actor, philanthropist, and motivational speaker, Travis Flores. He uses his life experience as a cystic fibrosis warrior who’s also received two double lung transplants in his 27 years of life to advocate for inclusivity in the workforce, and diverse casting in Hollywood. In this episode, Travis and Dominique go through the hot headlines like Aerie clothing brand’s decision to hire disabled models in its new campaign, discuss the power of being selective and saying “No” with different job offers, knowing that to break the stigmas in acting, you’ve got to know that people with illnesses/disabilities have the strongest will and work ethic and should represent themselves on screen, and that a medically adult-ish guidebook to building up that resume has got to include volunteering and internships that are both virtual and creative, so it can adapt to your health. Plus…stay to the end of the episode where Travis exclusively announces new project that will make you feel the feels for a new ‘binge TV’ goal.

Travis Flores, 26 living with cystic fibrosis, joins the podcast to talk about his journey through life with CF, advocacy, acting/writing/producing, transplant and now chronic rejection. Unfortunately this past fall, Travis was given the news that his life saving double lung transplant was beginning to fail as his new organs entered a state of chronic rejection. Just this week Travis learned that his body is fit for re-transplant and has been officially listed for a second life saving procedure.

Special guests Moriah Peters, Travis Flores, and Shira Strongin by Teens Of America Radio

Travis Flores has had a lifelong battle with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes a buildup of mucus in the lungs and other organs and can lead to respiratory failure and problems in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. Flores, who recently underwent a double lung transplant, continues to pursue his interests as an artist, philanthropist, and patient advocate. We spoke to Flores about his experiences, how rather than being a barrier, his disease has served as a source of motivation, and how he’s learned to live with, rather than for, his disease.
