I’m thrilled to welcome you to another delicious episode of The Scrumptious Woman. Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Cassandra Austin-McDonald, a coach and mentor dedicated to helping women reconnect with their true selves, their femininity, and their innate sensuality. We dive deep into the themes of self-awareness, the power of breath, and embracing joy in everyday life.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, Cassandra shares her journey of staying connected to her femininity from childhood, the lessons she learned from observing her mother, and the importance of never losing touch with who you are. We discuss the challenges many women face in the corporate world, the burnout that can come with it, and the ways to reclaim your sense of self. Cassandra provides practical advice on how to reconnect with your body, the significance of joy, and the healing power of breath.

Key Takeaways:

1. Embrace Your Breath: Cassandra emphasises the importance of connecting with your breath as a way to ground yourself and reconnect with your body. Placing a hand on your heart and feeling the rise and fall of your chest can remind you of your aliveness and help you stay present.
2. Rediscover Joy: Finding joy in small things, whether it’s a smile or enjoying the sunshine, can open your heart and connect you to your feminine energy. Joy is a powerful emotion that can lead to greater pleasure and creativity.
3. Be Compassionate with Yourself: It's crucial to be kind to yourself, especially when you fall into old patterns of behaviour. Instead of beating yourself up, practice self-compassion and gentle self-talk.
4. Observe Without Judgment: Learning to observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth. This practice allows you to break free from unconscious patterns and live more authentically.
5. The Power of Relationships: Cassandra and I explore how relationships, whether in marriage or entrepreneurship, can act as mirrors, reflecting our shadows and helping us grow. They challenge us to be better and more aware of our inner selves.
