Sass with Cass

The Root Cause of My Acne.

To anyone who is on this journey – know that my heart is with you always. Acne was something that single handedly destroyed my confidence, it was one of the worst battles of my life. It is a deep passion of mine to share my story, and what supported me to living with my most consistently clear skin ever. Today’s conversation is a dive into the root cause of my acne and what healing from chronic skin conditions taught me. This is a spiritual, nuanced and deep conversation that I invite you to listen to with an open mind.

Ask Your Soul, Not the Algorithm.

In this episode, we dive into a powerful conversation about what happens when you step away from strategy and reconnect with your soul. We’re exploring the burnout that comes from obsessing over image, marketing, and what looks good on the outside, often at the cost of meaning and genuine connection.

You'll hear my honest truth about trying to force consistency and perfection, and why letting go of rigid expectations can actually unlock deeper creativity and clarity. This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck in the loop of content calendars, TikTok trends, and performance metrics, and is ready to return to something more real.

We unpack how respecting your own rhythm and understanding how you work is the most sustainable strategy of all. It’s about creating from feeling, from truth, and allowing strategy to come after soul-led creation.

We also talk about divine timing, the importance of listening to burnout as a signal (not a failure), and the power of learning from others without losing yourself. Whether you're a content creator, entrepreneur, or just feeling the pressure to always be “on,” this is your reminder to slow down, tune in, and ask your soul, not the algorithm, what’s next.

Let this be the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

Remember Who You Are.

Today's episode is a collection of unfiltered thoughts on a topic that’s been playing on my mind a lot lately — returning to and remembering who you are.
With how busy life gets, it’s incredibly easy to become disconnected from what truly makes us happy. Often, signs and synchronicities pass us by simply because we haven’t given ourselves the space to listen. In today’s episode, I reflect on what it means to take the reins back (literally) in reconnecting with your essence — and offer you an open invitation to come home to yourself.

Distractions.

Welcome to some tough love. This is the no-BS energy you need to bring awareness to something that has burned months and years of my time—and is likely contributing to your procrastination and lack of forward momentum as well.

In this episode, I shed light on what’s throwing you off track and challenge you to stop using it as an excuse for not becoming who you say you’ll be or doing what you say you’ll do. You’ll learn how to recognize other people’s muck and chaos—and avoid getting swept up in it—so you can preserve your precious energy for what truly matters to you.

This insight comes from personal experience, and I hope it resonates with you and supports your journey toward deeper awareness.
