What do you do when you look up and in a single week, your world has changed? 

The systems have been shaken. The earth shattered. All our leaders, politicians, police, educators, and people we looked up to before have been called into question and our truths as well. 

So what do you do when your leaders burn and disappear? 

Be the leader. Be the change. 

For those of us very far removed from protests and the issues of the Black Lives Matter movement. Here are a few resources to educate yourselves and promote change. Stay stay safe, stay strong, stand together. 

Self-Educate. Show solidarity. Contact Government. Sign petitions. Donate. Promote. #blacklivesmatter

Our guest this week is Emily Madden, a brand new Wyoming Attorney who is no stranger to pivoting to find the right path. Beginning her undergrad with a business degree to pursue a career in Finance, she found her life's calling after a divine Google search that set her down a completely different road. If you're one of our Adults that finds themselves needing a professional degree to pursue the career of your dreams, but often wonder how your classmates or peers land those coveted dream positions, this one is for you. 

This week, Cassie uncovers 7 steps to how she learned to break down her emotions with introspection, so that you can stop letting your emotions get the best of you and ruining your days. Every day is a precious one, so take control of your emotions and make every day a good one.
