Pull up a chair, we're here to share all about our family trip to Mexico! In this episode, Amy and Tray catch us up on all the details of their recent vacation, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. The conversation starts with how River's illness changed the way we were hoping to do things on this holiday, Amy then gets honest with a topic that's very tender and sensitive for her, and we dive into a symptom of COVID that not enough people are talking about: hair loss. You'll hear the Cassels get heated over a moment of disconnection that left them both feeling less than happy, and Amy shares her favorite moment of beach freedom! We discuss some great (and not so great) food experiences and delve into the vast health benefits of the prickly pear, otherwise known as a 'nopal'. Finally, Tray shares his transcendental experience of going scuba diving, where breathwork and meditation become your natural state. Tune in to hear about the Cassels in Mexico!

“To me, there is no greater energy than the ocean underneath the moon, running on the sand. We're energetic beings, and the ocean is the most powerful thing on earth.” — @amy_cassels [0:19:57]

“From a meditative state, [scuba diving] was pretty surreal. I've never experienced anything like that before. You are obviously 100% dependent on your breath, and having spoken about breathwork, understanding the importance of it when you're underwater, it is everything.” — Tray Cassels [0:30:28]
