160. living is healing: navigating health in my 30s Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

In this deeply personal episode, Cassidy opens up about living her dream life while navigating autoimmune and hormone challenges in the biggest body she's ever been in. She shares her journey from corporate burnout and restrictive eating to creating a life of pure magic at the beach in California - all while figuring out her health in real time.

Cassidy gets honest about the 10-year path that led to her "overnight success," including two major burnouts, the hyper-vigilance that kept her running on fumes, and the moment her body finally felt safe enough to share what it had been holding.

She talks about why she's choosing to speak about body acceptance NOW - not after her body looks the way society says it should - and how healing and living your dreams can happen simultaneously.

This episode is for anyone who needs permission to stop waiting, stop shrinking, and start living - exactly as they are right now. Because your body is not a before photo - it's your life photo.

Trigger warning: Discussion of eating disorders, body image, and chronic health issues.
