In this podcast episode, Cassandra discusses her hiatus from the podcasting universe and what has transpired during her time away from the microphone. Not to spoil the surprise, but A LOT has been happening in Casssandra’s life and there are some pretty major things unfolding. Simply put, sh*ts about to get crazy on a massive level.
What, exactly does that entail? A new way of rethinking the social media landscape for one. Cassandra, along with her partners Kaylin Kustura & Jade Miller, envision an online experience free from the toxic encounters we contend with on a daily basis. Enter Aligned Social. A platform that places people above profit, alliances above algorithms, and mental wellness above targeted marketing mania. Aligned Social will completely revamp what it means to engage within the social media experience.
But that’s not all! Cassandra also explains other projects that are currently in the works. Whether it be the Tech By Tola business online interface that functions as a one-stop shop for all of a business’ digital needs or The Well, a online publication of prose focusing on wellness and hosted within the Medium.com platform, Tola Digital’s media presence continues to expand and evolve in meeting the needs of an ever changing digital landscape.
Cassandra brings it all to a conclusion with discussing her NEW PODCAST, Girlfriends With (out) Benefits. Cassandra, alongside fellow female phenoms Kaylin Kustura & Jade Miller, use the podcast to discuss topics near and dear to their hearts just as any group of girlfriends might do on a Saturday night. So grab a cup of coffee (or tea), pull up a chair and give this episode a listen.

In this podcast episode, Cassandra goes back to a topic she spoke with Meg about last week, and that topic surrounds food and using food and plants as medicine. Cassandra is a huge fan of plant medicine, it’s involved in her day to day life. Now, usually when talking about plant medicine, psychedelics are usually what comes to mind. However, Cassandra wants to talk about using nature’s food as plant medicine.
After having her most recent baby, Cassandra has really started to look at food in a different light. Growing up, we were always taught that there was ‘good food’ and that there is ‘bad food’. Good food being things that are veggies, and things low in fat. And bad things are higher in fat and calories. She wants to flip that script and start looking at food in a healing vs delayed healing aspect.
Will this food help heal my body or will it delay the healing?
It’s now that Cassandra has started teaching her own children about food, and teaching them that food is a source of energy, vitamins, minerals… AND that we do get satisfaction out of food, and that’s okay!
Come on in. Listen as Cassandra talks about how she went through different food aspects, diets, to now focusing more on healing and delayed healing. Know you’re not alone and there are many others just like you.

In this podcast episode, Cassandra meets with Meg Pearson. Meg talks about how she came from a small town in Ontario to how she is now living in Costa Rica as a thriving mother and business owner. Through her traumas, to not following the family profession, she talks about how she went through so much, and how it shaped who she is today.
Cassandra prompts a conversation about how Meg knew things in her life needed to change. Meg recounts the traumas she went through, quitting her job, losing her father… how all of this played a huge part in her realizing she is not the person she was destined to become.
With this in mind, Meg decided to turn to yoga. At first, she did it to find ways to better her body, and ‘sweat off the weight’... but it soon turned into so much more for her. Diving head first into the raw food world, she started hosting culinary classes, writing articles, and really teaching people the impact that diet has on their body.
Cassandra and Meg talk about how our identities are so wrapped up in food pieces. How food defines so much of us, without us even realizing it. From the way we were brought up, to how we were spoken to about food, to the things we hear our family, friends, or parents talk about… Meg explains that these instances stay with us for the rest of our lives and are part of our soul.
Moving the conversation to parenting, Cassandra asks Meg how her lifestyle has changed her parenting style. The main thing Meg talks about with Cassandra is making sure that her child feels like they are the one making choices for themselves, and that Meg’s trauma’s as a child aren’t pushed onto her child. Reparenting herself and constantly auditing her actions and reactions to behavior, has become something Meg does daily.
Come join us and listen as we take a journey of food, family, and other spiritual aspects of life with Cassandra and Meg.

In this podcast episode, Cassandra goes back to a topic she spoke with Liz about last week, and that topic is conscious parenting. She explains that the use of the word conscious parenting would mean that we would need to believe there are unconscious parents, and this has a very negative connotation.
Cassandra is a firm believer, either positive or negative, all of us are doing the best with what we are given, worked through and healed through. She believes parents can find themselves falling into a rut of repeating the errors of previous life experiences, might those be conscious or unconscious life choices.
We need to dissect our programming and look under the hood. We don’t know any better than what we were taught. It’s how we were set since childhood.
No matter the amount of healing and therapy, even Cassandra has triggers from her childhood that she is still working through with her children. And that’s okay. Reparenting of ourselves through our children is a great way to work through those triggers and pause before reacting.
Come on in. Listen as Cassandra talks about herself and her parenting. Know you’re not alone and there are many other parents just like you.

In this podcast episode, Cassandra meets with Liz Zamorski and they discuss everything from spouses, to parenting, to corporate business. Liz mentions how she went from being born and raised in the US and working as a corporate lawyer to how she is now living in Sweden with her husband and daughter with her very own psychic business.
Going from burnout and feeling physically uncomfortable at her corporate job, she talks about the pivotal moments in her spiritual awakenings while she was off the grid in Thailand. She knew it was time to transition. Her whole body knew it was time to transition, everything felt like a copy of a copy.
Liz started by simply walking through the woods near her home in Sweden. She immediately felt a connection to the nature around her. Noticing everything from a little tree frog and what the people around her were carrying with them. For the first time, she felt she could truly pause and just listen. She then started recording anything and everything that she noticed, and later would google to figure out what those things meant. This is what led her to start offering her family and close friends readings. She then started tarot card readings on multiple social media platforms. Liz went from corporate worker to light worker overnight.
What does all of this look like from a family point of view? Liz and Cassandra speak about what it’s like to have a partner who isn’t necessarily on the same spiritual level. How they work through that, and how they still offer assistance and hold that space without having an expectation. This is something that is not talked about enough, and Cassandra is excited to touch on this topic in her podcast.
Cassandra also speaks to Liz about conscious parenting and how the parenting journey has changed for her through her spiritual journey. How do you foster a kid’s imagination while also keeping them safe and providing well established boundaries? Tune in today!

In this podcast episode, Cassandra talks about finding your own medium to express your soul’s purpose. Everyone has been given a purpose. Everyone was given a certain medium to help them move on to their next level of the season they’re in. You included.
Cassandra loves art. She loves all aspects of art, but that doesn’t mean it’s her medium. We all have a lot of passions… a lot of things that we LOVE, that light us up… but that doesn’t mean that they are meant for me. It doesn’t mean they’re meant to be my medium. And that’s totally okay! You’re allowed to have these things in life.
The difference, Cassandra explains, is that love and passion are very surface. In order to find your true medium… your true purpose… we need to dig deeper.
Cassandra explains in just a few simple steps and questions, the way you can differentiate a passion or love, with your soul’s purpose. Your true medium.
What the fuck is your soul’s purpose?
How do I find my medium?
Or maybe you haven’t quite gotten to the point where you have found your soul’s purpose yet. That’s okay too, Cassandra is more than capable of helping you.
Let Cassandra dive deep with you in discovering your soul’s purpose. And it will cost you absolutely nothing. Join her free webinar, “Why The F*ck Am I Here - Discover, Awaken, and Live From Your Soul’s Purpose.”

“New Year, New You?” Hardly! In this podcast Cassandra examines the pitfalls associated with New Year Resolutions along with the longtime struggles people have with little self-motivating energies.
What is that? Purpose. Our energies are derived from our soul’s purpose. This is why when we ask things of ourselves (such as resolutions) that are not in alignment with our soul’s purpose, we rarely find success in those pursuits. Many resolutions are made on December 31st with hardly any reflection or preparation. If a great change within your life is to unfold, it’s probably prudent to begin planning for that change earlier than the night before.
So how does change occur? Embodiment. Embodiment is the key to unlocking the transformation puzzle. It helps with flow, manifestation, and a host of other foundations that help promote meaningful change. NOT following community-oriented trends that leave us feeling empty and simply “going with the flow” in order to keep up with the Jones.
Perhaps 2022 shouldn’t be focused on the goal of working out. Perhaps it would be better spent on mental health. Maybe this isn’t the year to find that special someone, but rather focus on strengthening what makes you, you.
Cassandra continues with the podcast by examining how to realistically fulfill one particular popular resolution. How achieving that goal is something that is realistic, measurable, and provides betterment within her life and a timetable for stages of success.
Finishing up the podcast, Cassandra teases her 2022 program: Hustle to Healing. This is a 5-month program focusing on helping entrepreneurs and professionals alike attain greater awareness of self-understanding and achieving the goals they feel aligned with pursuing.
So tune in! You might just learn some of the techniques for achieving success in keeping those resolutions. Here’s to 2022!
