Cassandra Lam is on a mission to change the way we live and work from the inside out. After a series of traumatic work experiences followed by healing through yoga and meditation, she found the courage to listen to her own voice and create her own career path. A former consultant turned entrepreneur, activist, and wellness advocate, Cassandra is passionate about creating spaces that empower people of color. She currently serves as CEO and cofounder of The Cosmos, a community that creates content for Asian women to flourish and thrive.

In this episode, you'll hear from Cassandra on:

• What each of us brings into our yoga practice, and how yoga can inspire us to embrace our ancestral identities
• 3 simple steps People of Color can take to feel more confident and valid in uncomfortable environments, including homogenous yoga studios
• What it means to flourish and thrive vs simply survive, and how the Cosmos is helping Asian American women come together and celebrate their power
