In this week’s episode of the DELCÂ Podcast, What Love Takes From You: And Why Peace Might Be the Better Trade

Love is romanticized. Happiness is idolized. But what if both are distractions? In this episode, I unpack the emotional toll of love, the myth of constant happiness, and why peace might be the thing we’re really after. If you’ve ever felt drained by connection or unsure why “being happy” feels like pressure… you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what love really costs, and what freedom might look like instead.

In this week’s episode of the DELCÂ Podcast, Our Last Breath: The Ending We Fear but Secretly Crave, we unpack the one thing we all share but rarely talk about, death. From health anxiety and spiritual beliefs to euthanasia, grief, and letting go, Cassandra shares a deeply personal and philosophical reflection on how we view dying… and how reframing it might change the way we live.

We explore cultural, religious, and scientific perspectives, including voices like Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. Sean Carroll, and dive into the emotional weight of watching others die, especially our pets. This isn’t a clinical take, it’s raw, human, and unapologetically honest.

If you’ve ever feared the process of dying, questioned what comes next, or simply want to feel less alone in your thoughts about the end, this episode is for you.

Could a dream business idea in travel really stem from sitting curled up naked in the Panamanian wilderness? Well, for me it did. In today's episode, we'll be questioning whether we should turn our passion into a career. We'll talk about whether having a business partner is right for you. All of this, and more, with a little of my backstory thrown in for context.
