Unraveling a journey from corporate to entrepreneurial and spiritual endeavor is an essential topic discussed in today’s podcast. Cassandra will give you a glimpse of life situations about unraveling.

Cassandra thought of different ways to unravel from her previous podcast with Dmitria. And she is always asked, like, you know, is there a proper way? Is there a right way to do it? Like, how did you do it?

Cassandra shares a little backstory on how she unraveled the pieces in her life. She was in the corporate and was working at one, quote, toxic job after another. At first, everything looked phenomenal. It was great salary, benefits, team, structure, and company. Then, however, she saw a lot of misogyny which she didn’t want to subscribe to.

Things get more and more frustrated with everything that was going on. Her own health even became a problem. It started with gluten intolerance and moved over to a Hashimotos base protocol. Finally, she got to the point of frustration, where literally one day she walked in, and she was done.

She got to the level of frustration where she could no longer handle it as there was no income to replace, and she didn’t want to focus and face it. So, that was her kind of journey out. So, Cassandra had to hustle and figure out all those things once she was out.

Cassandra believes that humans have this need and desire for safety.  But with the concept of severe trauma, some people find it hard that they’re not going to do or not want to do to unravel. So what she did is create six things to slowly unravel whether you are in a corporate or in another business, or both.

In this podcast, Cassandra will talk about strategically releasing responsibilities, defining the minimums, working towards realistic minimums, and the limited idea of unlimited hustling. 

She will highlight here why working beyond the average hours and pouring all your energy to working multiple jobs are not ideal for long-term sustainability.
