Cassidy is the CEO of Purple Sky Counseling.  She is passionate about helping women learn to love themselves fully and live their genuine and authentic life. She specializes in trauma, attachment, and women’s issues, aka anxiety and not-enoughness.

You've had experiences with awe. Maybe when your child was born or maybe standing at the top of the Himalayas.

Awe is that feeling of deep connection to something bigger than ourselves.

You can practice awe and bring more connection and love into your life.

You might have noticed a wee bit of upheaval in the world. 

There are many who believe this chaos is actually moving us closer together by uprooting anger, hate and disconnection, so it can be addressed.

I believe that right now on the planet, there is so much more love than hate. 

It's at a tipping point where the balance has shifted to compassion and inclusion. Let's not f*** it up.

Karla M. Jay is the award-winning author of When We Were Brave and It Happened in Silence and her newest book, The Puppet Maker’s Daughter, which is also up for several awards.

I talk with Karla about her writing process, the importance of stories and why we can't learn from history.

Originally from the east coast, she makes her home in Salt Lake City. Over the years she has written in several different genres, but currently is focused on historical fiction. When she's not writing, she's reading, gardening, playing with her dog, or traveling to new places to try to find a story that has never been told.
