🎙️  Universe Said So — Joy Isn’t Selfish

In this Universe Said So episode, Cass shares a tender moment with her youngest daughter—whose incredibly kind heart hesitates to join a sports team not because she doesn’t want it, but because she’s worried about “adding more” to the family schedule. What begins as a sign of sweetness becomes a powerful teaching: how kindness can quietly distort into people-pleasing when a child learns to prioritize everyone else’s comfort over their own joy.

Cass reflects on her own childhood memories of loving the alto saxophone—then quitting, not from lack of passion, but from craving validation that wasn’t present. From that truth, she offers a liberating reframe: we don’t pursue what lights us up because it’s convenient—we pursue it because it’s fuel from Source. Joy strengthens the soul, brightens the nervous system, and helps us become who we came here to be.

This episode is a permission slip for the kind ones: you’re allowed to choose what brings you joy, take up space, and let life feel good—because Universe said so.
