In this episode I dive into why I chose to leave Instagram for the time being, and all that it's taught me about myself, the life I *was* living vs. the life I *want* to be living. We'll uncover my subconscious identity criss, comparison trap after comparison trap, how my days felt then vs. how they feel now, and the patterns I was repeating without even being aware. Will I ever be back? Probably. But not until the yummy creative juices are the sole reason behind showing up on the platform. Join me for the 117th episode as I uncover my social media absence and my hope for what's to come.

Thank you, first and foremost, for all of the love and support for our last episode where I shared the story of Jonathan and my miscarriage of our first baby. It's been... difficult, to say the least, but you have all played such a beautiful role in softening the ridges for us as we heal. I'm working on playing catch up with you here, but first and foremost I felt it was important to shed some light on why I chose to let The Calm Collective go, the Universal sign that I did in fact do the right thing, and what it means for what's to come both within the Podcast space and over on the intimate Newsletter. This is a quicker listen, but I hope it helps unravel some of the unknowns ("Where the heck did the website go?", "Are you still teaching courses?", What can we expect?") All answered, right here. xx Join the Rooted Newsletter - delivered quietly to your inbox every Sunday The Rooted Podcast Website Cassandra on Instagram --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/therootedpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/therootedpodcast/support
I was so nervous so sit down and record this, but know deep down that it's the right thing to do. For womenkind and couples out there who have endured miscarriage, and for the health of my own soul. The minute I hit "publish" I had this intense breath of release - a thousand pounds off of my shoulders. This isn't a "bad" secret to keep. It's nothing to be ashamed of; no fault of our own. It's just sad, and it's true, and it's real. I know this is a lofty way to come back after a long, long hiatus of recording. And while I have much that I want to fill you in on (I got engaged, married, released The Calm Collective and built Rooted, etc), when tragedy hits, it takes precedence. I couldn't imagine coming back and talking about all of the aforementioned things without mentioning what's right on top of my heart - when I'm going through heartbreak. It's never been who I am; being able to pretend like things are okay when they're just, not. So, I know we're coming in hot with Episode 115, but my hope is that we'll be able to meet each other where we're at. Me, here in heartbreak and healing, you, wherever you might be in life right now. I hope it brings us closer and feeling even more connected than before. I hope that this conversation normalizes miscarriage, grief, healing, and the like. Thank you for being here - for showing me grace as I stumble a bit through this episode, and for giving me the space to come back when it felt right to do so.

YOU GUYS. Today's episode is such a fun one. Human Design is one of the most beautiful discoveries I've had in my lifetime, as it's been this massive, yet gentle, permission slip to better understanding the way that I operate, how I best serve others and myself, and just this deep affirmation that you truly can flow and live in sync with the Universe and let go of resistance as a whole. If you're new to Human Design and you're like "what in the world are you talking about?" -- I encourage you to start by finding out what your human design is which you can do for free, right here. The only caveat is that you do need to know the exact time you were born as it stems from your birth chart. I'm a Projector, which makes up about 20-24% of the population, and because of their unique energy fields and somewhat complex nature, I'm always looking for specific information around this type in particular. SO, if you find that you also are a Projector with the free chart above, come back and list...
Today's episode is extra special, as I have a real life friend joining me on the podcast. Grace Matelich has been a friend and spiritual ally of mine for the past 3 years, and her zest and awareness for life and its magic is next level. She lives a life of both/and. Chronic illness and radical passion for this human life. Medical guidance and an empowering advocacy for her own best interest. Through this conversation, Grace walks us through her near death experience, and how this awakened her to her spiritual journey and deep appreciation for self and this one precious life. Regardless of where you are right now in life, you will benefit from Grace's message. I can't wait for you all to meet her.

Today's episode is so moving, so powerful, so... human. Megan Hillukka is a bereaved mother of 6 children, 5 who are living Earth side, and has so lovingly shared her journey with trauma, PTSD, the deep waves of grief and her journey to feeling joy again, in spite of it all. Not only do we talk healing from child loss, but we dive deep into explaining death and grieving to young children, grieving as a busy parent with so much on their plate, and how we can continue to keep the spirit of those we've lost, alive. Through grief coaching, Megan encourages and supports other grieving mothers that though the worst thing has happened to them, their life is not over. She's learned many tools and ways of shifting grief so that it can become just a little bit lighter, and easier to live with. Because Megan has done the deep work of grief, made space for her grief and time for her grief, she now has room for joy, laughter, hope, and so much fun in her life. Enjoy the show. xo // Website: www....

Jo Regidor is one of the sweetest souls on the planet. I had the profound honor of being on her new podcast, Life with Less, and we just instantly clicked. We have such similar stories when it comes to our approach to minimalism and intentional living, and more recently, Jo joined the oh-so-shitty grief club after losing her best friend and brother during this pandemic. She so graciously shares with us what this process has been like for her - moving through the fresh stages of loss during lockdown, how her void filling tendencies aided to her debt and hindered her healing journey (raising my hand here), and how she so lovingly learned how to take care of herself in order to process her pain (and get out of debt - !)
