What do you do for fun? Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

We all know how important play is for children, but it's just as important for grown-ups! In the busyness of life, we consider hobbies to be trivial and time-wasting, and can find ourselves being weighed down by responsibility and losing our connection to what brings us joy.

In this episode, Cass explains the benefits of prioritising play, how playfulness is as much an attitude as an activity, and shares some ideas that might help you reconnect with your own sense of fun and inspire you to make more time for things that bring you joy.

Show notes

It's a full circle moment on Crappy to Happy as Tiff Hall returns to join Cass behind the mic. This time, not as a cohost but as guest, to reflect on the last few years of challenges: including bouncing forward post babies, business diversification and a changing relationship to her body.

the regrets Tiff has from her days of her 'smash and bash' approach to fitness
the pressure she felt to 'bounce back' to her pre-baby body
her struggles of being a female founder in a predominately male dominated industry
how she has become more realistic and gentle with her expectations of herself in motherhood

The Karma of Success with Liz Tran Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Before starting her executive coaching company for CEO's and Founders, 'Reset', Liz Tran spent a decade in tech, most recently as the only female executive at a top venture capital firm. For most of her career, Liz Tran was sure that if people knew about her spiritual practices, they would never respect her as a business person. She worked in a world where numbers and spreadsheets were everything, so how could she admit that she believed in scientifically indefensible forces like the Tarot or feng shui or Reiki?

Liz is the host of the Reset with Liz Tran podcast and her new book, 'The Karma of Success' has just been released. And in this episode you can expect to hear:

How suffering doesn't equal success and how accessing ideas that flow easily through you can lead to better results
How to care for the three treasures of the body: physical body, energy, and intuition
Why some Founders succeed past the seed stage and others don't

If you'd like to learn more about Liz, check out her website, or her personal instagram here. The Reset instagram can be found here. Listen and subscribe to Liz's podcast, Reset with Liz Tran here. And, if you're in the UK or US you can get yourself a paperback version of Liz's new book 'The Karma of Success' here. If you're in Australia, you can read the book on Kindle or listen on Audible, but paperback is a few months away.
