In this episode, The Feeling You Can’t Explain—And What It’s Trying to Tell You, we’re talking about a different kind of wake-up call—the quiet kind. Because you don’t need a total breakdown to start your breakthrough. Sometimes it’s not the chaos, but the drift—the slow disconnection from who you really are—that creates the deepest void.

Here’s how to recognize the signs and find your way back home to yourself:

1. The Silent Red Flag – That “meh” feeling? It’s not just a mood. It’s your inner compass signaling that something’s off. We’ve been conditioned to only respond to extremes—burnout, crisis, or collapse—but disconnection is the slow leak that drains your purpose, passion, and presence.
   
   
   
2. Finding Your Signal Again – Reconnection doesn’t start with reinvention. It starts with remembering. Ask yourself: What did I used to love that I’ve stopped doing? Strip away the roles, the responsibilities, the “shoulds,” and reconnect with the real you underneath. Even five intentional minutes twice a day can reignite what’s gone numb.
   
   
   
3. Simple Shifts That Bring You Back to Life – Cassie shares her personal story and offers practical ways to feel alive again. From scheduling unproductive, pressure-free time to surrounding yourself with people or places that spark old joy, these small steps help you remember who you are—and who you want to be.
   
   
   

This episode is a reminder: you don’t have to wait for your life to fall apart to make a change.

Just because nothing’s wrong doesn’t mean everything’s right.

You don’t need a full reinvention—just a moment of reconnection.
Start small. Start now.
But whatever you do, don’t settle for fine.

In this episode, #39 – Can’t Dream Big Anymore? This Will Wake You Up, we explore a powerful way to reconnect with your imagination and rediscover what you really want, without pressure, stress, or overwhelming to-do lists. It all starts with one bold question: What if you were already living your dream life?

But what if you no longer know what that is? You’re in the perfect place.

We dive into three key shifts to help you unlock new vision and momentum:

Why You Can’t Dream Big: Anymore or maybe just not yet 

Most people don’t stop dreaming because they don’t care; they stop because it feels unsafe. Your brain is trying to protect you from failure, risk, and disappointment. Before you can dream again, you need to feel safe to imagine.

The “What If” Game: Rewriting Reality to Wake Up Desire

This simple question—What if I already had everything I needed?—lets your mind explore your desires from a place of completion, not lack. When you imagine the result, your brain feels safe, open, and transparent about what excites you most.

From Vision to Momentum: Without Overwhelm

You don’t need a five-year plan. You just need your next courageous move—one action that matches the version of you who has already made it. That’s how clarity is born: not from overthinking, but from asking better questions and daring to imagine again.

Remember: Your next level isn’t far away. It’s just one brave “What if…” away.

Spoiler alert: Your side hustle is killing your dream life. Now, on episode 38: Is Your Side Hustle Killing Your Dream Life?, we get brutally honest about a hard truth no one talks about.  If you’re exhausted, stuck, or feel like you’re spinning in circles, this is your wake-up call.

We break down the three big traps that keep you from real freedom:

The Money Trap – When your side hustle is simply paying bills but not building your vision, it becomes a detour, not a step forward. Are you truly investing your time and energy in your future, or just staying busy in survival mode?

The Passion Problem – Passion is not enough. Without strategy, structure, and systems to make your passion profitable, you risk building a hobby, not a business. And hobbies don’t bring freedom; they keep you stuck working endlessly with no payoff.

The Hustler’s Lie – Hustle culture glorifies endless effort but never teaches you how to stop. True freedom comes not from working harder, but from getting crystal clear on what actually moves you toward your dream life, and letting go of the rest.

You’re either building your dream or a cage that looks productive but isn’t.

This episode challenges you to ask: Is your side hustle setting you free… or stealing your future?

The good news? It’s never too late to change direction and build the life you want.

Your life is worth it—don’t wait to start living fully. Tune in and take the first step toward your Ultimate 180!

In this powerful episode, 37: Breaking Free from the Trap of Time , we take a deep dive into one of the biggest stressors in modern life: time. Most of us feel like there’s never enough of it—but what if the real issue isn’t time itself, but our relationship with it?

💭 Key Themes:

We explore how society trains us to treat time like a taskmaster—constantly measuring, rushing, and striving.

You’ll be invited to question the deeper belief behind “I don’t have enough time”—which often masks the fear of not being enough without constant achievement.

The episode introduces a radical shift: Time isn’t the enemy. It’s how we relate to it that shapes our experience of life.

 The Real Time Expander:

Learn how presence—true, grounded presence—can slow time and expand your sense of joy. Whether you’re in nature, on vacation, or fully engaged with someone you love, time begins to feel different.

You'll hear how one parenting moment revealed this truth, and how simple practices like “Where are my feet?” and using your 5 senses can bring you back into the now.

 Milestones vs. Moments:

Are you chasing a future success—or enjoying the journey? We reflect on the cost of living for a finish line, and what it means to measure your life not just by what you achieve, but by how you feel along the way.

Final Question:

Would you rather have a wildly successful business five years from now—or enjoy every day of the next five years while building something meaningful?

Because the life you love isn’t waiting. It’s already here. And it begins with how you live today.

In this episode, It’s Not All Bad, When Going Through Tough Times, we explore the hidden stories running beneath the surface of our struggles and how even the most challenging moments can become powerful turning points.

Our brains are wired to compartmentalize and create meaning. As we grow, we build internal narratives about who we are, what we deserve, and what’s possible for us. Without realizing it, we constantly look for evidence to confirm those stories, whether they’re empowering or limiting.

But what happens when life gets hard? When things fall apart or feel unfair?

This week, we explore how tough times can illuminate the beliefs we didn’t even know we held: those quiet, deeply embedded ideas that shape our identity, our choices, and our future.

You’ll also learn a simple but powerful practice to begin rewriting your narrative. Start by asking:

– What do I believe?

– Why do I believe it?

– Do I want to believe that?

– Does it serve my greatest good?

These questions help you identify your default narrative, and from that awareness, you can begin to choose a new one. Small shifts in your narrative can lead to massive transformations over time.

If you’re ready for a true transformation—not just on the surface, but at the core—this episode is your invitation to dig deep, rewrite the narrative, and begin your Ultimate 180.

You are not your thoughts, and your thoughts are not facts. 

If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I never,” “I always,” or “I can’t,” it’s time to take a closer look at those patterns. These aren’t just passing thoughts—they’re mental habits that shape your emotional reality and the kind of day you’re going to have. On this episode, The Hidden Lies We Tell Ourselves Are Destroying Our Dreams

We dive into how the way you talk about your day determines how you feel about your day. If you keep expecting stress, chaos, or struggle, chances are, that’s exactly what you’ll get. But what if you questioned those beliefs? What if you tried on new ones?

You’ll learn how to:

• Identify subconscious patterns that keep you stuck
  
  
  
• Challenge beliefs that might not even be yours
  
  
  
• Shift your self-talk to align with the life you actually want
  
  
  
• Understand that repeated experiences don’t make you a failure, they point to a pattern that’s ready to be rewritten.
  
  
  

This episode is your reminder that you have more power than you think. By changing the way you think, you can change the way you live.

"Some of the best stories of your life are being written in the middle of your hardest chapters."

We all want things to go smoothly. We plan, we prepare, we hope for the best. But what actually makes a better story? Is it when everything works out perfectly the first time… or when things go completely sideways, obstacles show up, plans fall apart, and yet you still come out on the other side?

In this episode, Change your story, change your truth, change your life, we explore what it really means to be in the middle of the mess — and how that space is where some of our most powerful growth begins.

You’ll hear why reframing struggle isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. Especially in seasons when everything feels uncertain or overwhelming. Instead of rushing to “fix it” or pretending things are fine, what if we paused long enough to ask, “What is this trying to teach me?”

We’ll talk about:

• How to reframe pain and uncertainty as meaningful chapters, not dead ends
  
  
  
• The power of presence — and why being with your discomfort leads to transformation
  
  
  
• The 5-5-5 perspective shift: Will this matter in 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years?
  
  
  
• Why some of the most beautiful breakthroughs come from borrowed belief
  
  
  
• A reminder that this season is not forever — and you get to choose what story you'll tell about it
  
  
  

We also revisit the SNAP Technique from Episode 8 — a practical 4-step approach to use when you're stuck in the spiral and don't know what to do next.

Because even when you don’t have all the answers, you can still move forward. Intentionally. Gently. Powerfully.

✨ This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re in the middle of a chapter they didn’t ask for. If that’s you — I see you. I’ve been you. And I believe the version of you on the other side will be stronger, wiser, and more resilient than you ever imagined.

If you don’t have everything figured out all by yourself, that makes you a failure.

Did you just start to argue with that sentence?

Good. 

You shouldn’t and won’t be able to figure everything out all by yourself, no matter how good you think you are at your business. When we are spending all day, every single day, living, breathing, and being our business, we convince ourselves that we know best because we see how everything we do impacts what we do. But if you have ever given someone else advice that you thought should be so obvious to them, that’s exactly what I am talking about here. 

When you are stuck, unsure, and spinning your wheels, knowing you need to make some kind of change to get where you are going, you probably won’t figure it out all by yourself. 

Let’s be honest, making a big change can feel overwhelming. 

You may know you’re ready, you know something needs to shift, but where do you even start? The fear of making the wrong move or wasting time can keep you in the same cycle, spinning your wheels. But what if I told you there’s a ridiculously simple way to break through that hesitation and make you even better, faster?

Asking someone that you TRUST, RESPECT, and hopefully will listen to in order to get some outside feedback and advice is sometimes harder than actually doing anything in your business. In today's episode, “Let It Go,” we are going to talk about the best ways to ask for this help, how to be open to receiving help, and how to know when the time is right for help. 

Let’s navigate change together, one degree at a time. Let’s do this!

In this episode, 'Good Change Can Happen Fast,' we’re diving into a powerful mindset shift that can completely change how you experience transformation.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to believe that bad things can happen in an instant—yet when it comes to the good stuff, we assume it has to take forever? This belief isn’t just common—it’s deeply conditioned. From past experiences to societal norms, we’ve been taught to brace for the worst and wait (and wait… and wait) for the best.

But what if good change doesn’t have to be slow?

We’ll unpack the hidden belief that’s slowing you down, explore real-life stories of rapid breakthroughs, and discuss how fear distorts our timelines, making bad change feel fast and good change feel impossible. I’ll share a personal story from a recent conversation with a friend that sparked this entire conversation.

Key takeaways:

• Why we subconsciously expect good change to be slow
• How trust and belief speed up transformation
• The science behind why fear accelerates negative outcomes
• Real examples of fast, positive change in action
• A mindset challenge to help you flip the script on waiting

What if your next breakthrough isn’t miles away—but just one decision, one belief shift, one bold moment of trust away?

Let’s navigate change together, one degree at a time. Let’s do this!

“Work harder.” 

We’ve all heard it. Chances are you are trying to live by it right now with the uncertainty of the world. But with mental health on the decline and burnout at an all-time high, it’s clear this old-school mentality isn’t working. We are taking a closer look at the toxic "work hard" culture that many of us inherited, and have been force-fed the belief that hard work is synonymous with a strong work ethic. 

Working countless hours, being on call 24/7 has been seen as a badge of pride for so many, but it doesn’t have to be like that. 

I share my personal journey of waking up from the hustle trap, despite starting work at age 12 and doing “everything right.” I realized that the traditional model of success wasn’t the one I wanted. I didn’t want to be the overworked, underpaid, live-for-retirement kind of person. I wanted freedom, joy, and yes—champagne-on-a-yacht kind of success.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “work smarter, not harder,” but what does that even mean? 

Not only what does it mean, why does everything still feel so hard? 

On episode , The Work Hard Myth Shattered,  I’ll debunk some of the biggest myths about success and productivity and introduce a new focus: working energetically. Again what does that even mean? Tune in so we can cover this potentially new concept today. 

We’ll explore:

• What it really means to work from a place of alignment, excitement, and flow
• How to shift from draining hustle to energizing purpose
• Why forcing results isn’t necessary when you're fully in your zone
• Practical steps to start rewiring your brain for inspired action
  
  

If you’re feeling exhausted, uninspired, or stuck in the grind, this episode will offer a fresh perspective—and a powerful new way to create success on your terms.
