I was in a rut, surrounded by people who kept me stuck. My mom dropped a truth bomb on me: "Cassie, choose your friends; don't let them choose you." It took a while for her words to sink in, but boy, was she right.

Back then, I was in a transitional phase, unsure of my path after leaving a demanding corporate job. I found myself working at a restaurant, waitressing and bartending. The people I spent most of my time with were the regulars and my coworkers. Some of them are still great friends today, while others... not so much. But here's what I learned: those people and that environment shaped my habits, thoughts, beliefs, and even where I invested my time and money. It was a wake-up call to audit my circle and ensure I had the right people moving in the same direction as me.
