This morning I woke up feeling grateful that I was in my own bed, in my own room, in my own house. I even woke up at my usual time! Only today, I something felt different. I, myself, felt different.So I did what I always do, and picked up my journal, and let it all out. 🙂And it seems as though I am elevating to a new level. My whole identity, everything I’ve resonated with for ages now, is changing. I even have appointments booked to change my APPEARANCE. (Oh shit!)All I know is.. next-level Cassie is emerging. She’s about to come through.I’ve been feeling this for awhile now. Months and months where I knew that next-level me was about to show up to the party and make herself known. I’ve journaled on it, meditated on it, dreamt about it… But nothing much came from it in the physical form.Yet I stayed the course.I continued to dig into this new version of me and try to identify how to bring her to life. This morning, I knew - it was time. Now. And as I did a short (2 minute) meditation on it, I got a pretty clear smack-in-the-face kind of message - perhaps it’s a message that YOU need to hear as well?The message was this – SUCCESS IS AVAILABLE TO YOU AT ANY TIME. And then, as if next-level me was yelling at current me, I heard – STOP BEING SUCH A BABY ABOUT IT.Damn. Next-level Cassie ain’t fucking around.I guess it’s true that I’ve kinda been a big baby around it. Success, that is - or at least my version of it. I’ve been making...

Stop worrying about the “right time” to launch your business, invest in mentorship, buy the house, date the guy, have the baby, increase your prices, hire that person..Stop worrying about the right time to do anything.The right time?Is when you think about it, and it feels exciting. Truth be told, there IS no perfect time. And the longer you wait to do something that you WANT to do, and deep down know that you WILL do, some day, the further away you push it.The more you put it off, the less likely you will ever HAVE IT. If you’re excited about something, but say to yourself “not yet”, “I’m not ready”, “I need to do THIS first”, “I need to think about it”.. or anything along those lines.. what you’re doing is pushing it away.You’re telling the universe that you’re no longer interested.And so the universe, confused AF, but always following your cues, takes it away. Now, the next time you think about doing/having/being it, it’s even further. It seems even MORE impossible. And you start to doubt yourself and whether of not you’re “ready” even more so than the last time.So just STOP with the bullshit.Stop with holding back things/experiences that you want because you don’t feel ready.You will NEVER feel ready.It will NEVER feel like the perfect time.Trust your gut. Do you want it? Really, REALLY want it? If so - you’d better start acting like it! That means, of course, by saying YES.Say YES to the scary thing (that you know will lead you to what you want).Say YES to what you feel in your gut is the right thing,...

After a full day of travelling, we made it to Kyoto, Japan last night and promptly crashed in bed. I don’t think I’ve slept that well in ages! So good.I was told by so many people that I’d love Japan. Everyone says it’s beautiful here, clean, the people are nice… and so far, everything seems to be playing out that way, so I’m grateful!I can’t wait to go to the matcha farm, processing plant, and do all the biz-related things, while also eating all the vegan food (there’s a vegan restaraunt 5 minutes from our hotel!), writing from cafes, and snapping at least 5,000 photos of the sights. I get a different kind of buzz here. It’s similar to when I go to California - except, the vibe is way different. Cali has a “you can do anything, life is amazing” kind of vibe. Kyoto (at least the little I’ve seen of it so far) has a spiritual vibe, where you just wanna chill TF out, drink tea, and be present. This morning, as I sit and type this by the window in our hotel room, sitting green tea and waiting for my husband-who-takes-longer-than-a-female-to-get-ready to go get food, I’m reminded that life is so fucking amazing.There are so many opportunities available to you.So many incredible memories for you to make. So much for you to explore, and experience. So many dreams for you to make come true for yourself.But the struggle.. oh the struggle. You make it so damn hard on yourself, don’t you? You don’t just allow yourself to experience ease, and flow, and total fucking high-vibe energy..It’s not your fault though. You’ve been...

I’ve suffered from extreme anxiety for as long as I can remember. I’ve always been a worrier; a trait I inherited from my close family members. It’s held me back in so many ways, and it’s been something that I’ve had to work on for years. It’s something I’ll likely always be working on. A few years ago, I discovered that my daily consumption of coffee was making my naturally high anxiety even worse. I cut it out completely, but I missed that comforting cup of energy. I tried tea, which was less caffeine and better for my anxiety, but it wasn’t the same. And then I found matcha. I can’t remember who told me about it, but it was hot, it had caffeine (1/4 less then what you’d find in a cup of coffee), and so I gave it a try.The first time I tried matcha I thought it tasted like swap water. I let my daughter try some of mine, and she said it tasted like “broccoli water”. True. It did. I guess I got used to the taste, because I found myself drinking it all the time.But more than the taste; the energy that I get from matcha is INCREDIBLE. No crash and no shakes that coffee gives me. That, and it’s like a slow-drip caffeine, instead of a punch in the face, like the energy coffee gives you.🙂 My energy on matcha is more gradual, lasts longer, and feels better. Coffee makes me feel amazing for about an hour, and then I feel like my heart is gonna beat out of my chest and I’m gonna die. For someone who suffers with anxiety on...

It’s very strange to wake up and walk outside in shorts in the middle of November. California makes my soul happy, and I’m so excited to hang out here with my Expansion Mastermind clients while we brainstorm, mastermind, and have all the fun shenanigans. We’ve been sitting on our patio in the backyard for hours, talking all things boundaries, religion, acceptance, affirmations, soulmate client attraction, raising your prices, and how to get paid just to be YOU! There’s a lot more that we’ll be covering over the weekend together, all in good time of course, and tomorrow we have a 3-hour hike in La Jolla where we’ll have a drone following us and taking incredible photos. So excited! It’s moments like these where I am reminded of just how incredible my life is, and how just a few years ago I would NEVER have hopped on a plane just to spend a few days in California. Have you ever had one of those moments where everything is just so blissful and you wonder “how is this real life?” That is now. That was yesterday. That will be tomorrow, too. The truth is, with the fear of sounding arrogant, I’m gonna just come out and say it: Every day feels this way. Every day I have to pinch myself that THIS is reality. I get to just be me every day, doing what I love to do. I get to travel with friends and family all the time. I get to live a VIP lifestyle. I get to be fully supported in my business and life. Not to say there aren’t bad days. I for sure deal with my fair share of...
