Hey Hi Hello!
I'm Cassie
My story is filled with broken pieces, my fair share of bad decisions and some ugly truths. But it’s also filled with a major comeback, peace in my soul, and grace that saved my life.
It is by way of that very grace that I found my voice… and just as much as I want to speak to be heard, I want to hear yours too.
I created this website in a time where we need to feel connected. more than ever before. Whether that’s a cause or movement, or just to another human in general. The power of authentic connection is within us all-no matter what stage of life you are in, or on in my case at times. I want to use my voice to have conversations about the hard stuff. The "uncomfy" feels-like-walking-in-a-brand-new-pair-of-shoes stuff. There may be some blisters that form and maybe a scab or two that is forced to re-open, but you know what comes next? The healing. And it has to hurt and be raw before it can be better. I know I have gone through a Costco worthy case of band-aids in the course of walking my path. I've at times ripped them off and its been painful and it usually leads itself to a type of exposure that makes me feel vulnerable and anxious. Here’s the thing though, I know I am not alone. I know that although I may be “6 feet ahead” of someone else today, there is someone ahead of where I am as well that perhaps has walked this path too and I can find hope in their journey. I also know I’m not afraid to make my own footprints or change directions if following another’s true north proves not to be my own.
As women, it’s safe to say we all carry some type of bag. We all pack this bag differently, too. Some of us are traveling light and some of us carry with us everything we can stuff in it, or in other words - emotions we think we need to feel secure and safe. These can prove to be heavy for even those who have the strongest of shoulders. I think we are all called to figure out how to carry our bags to the best of our ability and we all have to learn how to one day dump it all on the floor, make a huge mess, and figure out exactly what it is you need to take with you and what to leave behind.
Life can be painful. Growth can be more painful. Change is most likely always painful to start. But in the end, nothing is as painful as staying stuck where you don’t belong.
Together I will encourage you to find you, do you, love you. FOR YOU.
That’s it. That’s all I got.*
*jk. Now scooch on over to my Journal page. I’ll be there (for you).
Xoxo,
