Filling in the Gap Creates Financial Freedom with Cassandra Lopez

Cassandra Lopez: If you're not happy somewhere, or you wanna do something, don't stay there just because you don't know how you may make me and means meet your needs or different things like that. Just take the risk and. Very proud that I did. And look what has happened after that. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: So, hello. Hello. Welcome to beyond ADHD.

A physician's perspective. I am Dr. Deanna mage. I'm a family medicine physician practicing in rural Texas. I used to be hindered. ADHD, but I now see it as a gift that helps me show up as a person. I was always meant to be both in my work and in my personal life. In the past two years, I've come to realize.

That I'm learning some of my beliefs and some of my habits were just as important as learning the new set of skills. Well, hello. Hello. I am so excited today. Um, as some of you might have already heard, I am in a transition state a little bit, and I am starting, uh, here shortly, uh, in October. A new group.

Um, well new in the sense that it's gonna be a healthcare professional group. So it's super exciting. So I'm opening the doors for, um, you know, if you're a nurse, if you are, um, nurse practitioner, a dentist, chiropractor, anybody who used pharmacist, um, Anybody who uses, um, CME credits to come and learn how to use tools to regulate your emotional dysregulation and executive function so that you can leave work at work as the healthcare team.

Um, it's. Then everybody wins. So today I have a very, very special guest with me, very, very a dear friend and, uh, coworker. And, um, so I can't wait to share her story and I will also let her share her story, but today's topic is about how it's so important to be intuitive. And it's so important to look around.

And see if you can find a gap in healthcare and how you can spin it to help you get financial freedom. So my guest today is Cassandra Lopez and. She is gonna share her story with you. But, um, she was working at a nursing home since 2014 and now has her own, you heard it, her own, uh, company that she founded and it's called, uh, beloved community care.

And, uh, she's gonna tell us about it. So please, Cassandra, tell us, um, How, how did you know you had D and like, tell us about what you're up to now. 

Cassandra Lopez: Um, hello. Um, thanks for having me, Dr. Medo. Um, my name's Cassandra and I really didn't know I had ADHD at first. Um, didn't know really what it was growing up.

You know, it has the stigma to it and you see some kids taking ADHD medicine and it's because they're labor labeled. So I never, I didn't struggle through through school. I didn't really know anything about it until I was an adult. And I remember going to Dr. Mecado and not really know what was going on.

I was, I would forget things if I didn't write 'em down. And I remember I forgot to. And a very important bill that I couldn't set on auto pay cuz they didn't have it available. And I was like, what the heck? I forgot to, I forget to pay my bills. My what about bills got cut off? Like, I don't know what's going on.

So I kind of filled out a questionnaire and all the symptoms were there and then I got the diagnosis and it it's been helping. So. So 

tell 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: me, tell me, what was it like when you got the diagnosis? Like, were you relieved? Were you surprised? Were you shocked? Were you like, oh, thank God. Finally. There's something here that thought it was just me.

Like everybody has a different take to it. What was yours? Um, 

Cassandra Lopez: I think I was kind of like shocked because like I said, in the beginning, You just have this stigma, stigma of ADHD and different things, but you as a friend and a doctor, I really trust you. So I was, I was off for it. I was ready to know the things that can help me and everything kind of makes sense.

Um, I could look at somebody and people would think I'm rude or not paying attention, but I could literally be staring at somebody they're talking to me. And I have no idea what they're saying or my mind is somewhere else. Or, and that's just things that I thought that were just me. But coming to find out.

You know, there was a name for it and you could get help for it. So, 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: yeah. And what do you think has been the most helpful? I mean, everybody is different, right. But like, do you think taking meds has been helpful? Do you think reading or learning about different techniques online or exercising? Like what, what do you think has been helpful now that you have the 

Cassandra Lopez: diagnosis?

Um, I think it's just a combination of everything. Um, my medication does help, but also. Just being more of aware of things and learning how to slow yourself down and write things down and plan more and, um, know that there's, you have to tell yourself there's only like a right now and not right now. So if it's not right now, you need to write it down, cuz you are gonna forget.

It's just so just learning different things that you can help, uh, use to help your everyday life. And it doesn't feel like you're just going in circles and circles, all the. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: So would you tell our listeners where you and I met? 

Cassandra Lopez: So we met at a nursing home where we both worked. So, um, she was the medical director there.

I was one of the nurses there and that's how we met and developed our relationship in friendship. And I knew I liked her from the very beginning cuz she, I didn't know, she had ADHD at that point, but I just knew that she had. Clear boundaries. She, she kind of, I mean, she was very helpful. She was compassionate.

So that's where we worked and very knowledgeable. So I kind of went to her for everything. So I built my trust with her and that's when I got my diagnosis. So I just, it was a, 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: but I mean, the point that I'm asking is that, you know, in healthcare, I think that when you're passionate about what you're doing, you're gonna do it.

And like you said, you said boundaries and all that. But your, your soul shines through, right? Like that, that's where you're drawn to be of service to others. I think people sometimes think that the healthcare, um, is, oh, there's the big bugs there. Right. But we all quickly see that the big bugs are really going to the pharmaceutical companies they're to somebody else.

And it's not necessarily the physician or the nurse, um, that is there. Right. But. As you were working in the healthcare. Especially, as you were working in the nursing home, what did you like about it? What were you drawn to it? What didn't you like about it? And what 

Cassandra Lopez: did you do about it? So, um, I think what I liked about it was just being able to serve, um, the community and.

We're in a small knit community. So you kind of knew your residents and different people there. And also learning. I learned a lot, um, from making rounds with doctors and, um, nurse practitioners and different things like that. But I also knew I wasn't a hundred percent happy. Um, I knew that I was, it was kind of like a eight to five sometime, but you on call and I had an office job where I was sitting a lot and just very.

I'm not really good at small details. So I would like forget to check my emails and stuff sometimes. So it was just, I knew I wasn't, that's not where I always wanted to be, but in my position, I also see that there was a need that a lot of people do go to the nursing home prematurely solely because they don't have, um, they don't have someone at home to care for them, or it's too too much for a loved one to be a caretaker.

So I just kind of took that in and. Created idea. And that's when we decided to start beloved community care. And that's when we, we have a home care agency that goes and takes care of the loved one in their home, or could be in the facility if they just want extra eyes on their family 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: member. So tell me, how is it that it's unique and you put your, your spin because it's not home home health, right.

And it's not, like you said, a nursing home. It's not a living facility. How did you come up with the idea, your idea, like, because that's important because people with ADHD don't realize that we are outside the box stinkers and that just because you don't see it, there doesn't mean it wouldn't be an amazing idea and you took off and ran 

Cassandra Lopez: with it.

Right. So I, um, I just, in the nurse home, you see a lot of the care comes from the CNAs and. Those people, the nurses are there too. They pass medication, they do treatments, but, and there's a lot of paperwork. Everybody knows in charting that goes with that. But the CNA or the person on the floor, that's, who's given the direct care.

And to me that's most the most important care. So me knowing that I can run a business like that in higher CNAs on my own and in care. I just took it and ran with it. I knew I didn't wanna be a home health because a home health does offer that skill need and the nurses and the physical therapy and different things like that.

But they're in and out to do their skill need, which is needed, but there's no one there to actually take the time and care for your loved one and give them the, you know, the extra care that they do need. So I just found that. Ran with 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: it. Were you ever like scared? Like, oh my God, like, I don't know what I'm doing.

Like, well, should I even do this? Is it maybe it's better that I just go to an H five job, like you said, there's more security there. Like what, what were your thoughts that you were having as you were trying to establish this? Um, 

Cassandra Lopez: well, when I first thought of the idea, I. I do have a business partner, so I called him up and, um, we talked about it and he, he was just like, give me a little while, let me think about it or something.

I don't know exactly what he said, but. He's not diagnosed and I can't diagnose, but he has an ADHD brain. Let me just say that so, so he can think pretty, pretty good too. So, um, we were like, okay, we're gonna go and just run, run with it. But the more research we did, we found out we had to be licensed through this state of Texas and have a survey and just all these policies that we have to come up with.

So at that point I was like, I wasn't discouraged. Cause I know I. I usually try to real hard to get what I want. So it was just kind of like maybe a speed bump. And I think I probably called you a few times and you never discouraged me. You were just think, you know, always think big. And so we just did our research and got, did what we need to get our license and, um, licensed through the state of Texas and different things like that.

So I think at that point I was, it made me kind of made me think a little bit. Is this what I really wanna do? This is gonna be maybe. Too many steps, but it wasn't, we just kept taking one step at a time, one step at a time. And we probably got it done in about four months. And that's pretty amazing when we, what we hear from other people.

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Yeah. So I really like that you share that, that you knew that there was gonna be some steps and you kept looking it. And looking it up and looking it up and you never gave up. And like, I think most of us want stuff like, you know, order it today. I get it tomorrow, like from Amazon. Right, right, right. But we forget that when we are really answering a calling, like for you, this was your way to, um, fill in that gap.

That was not being taken care of at the nursing home, or could not be taken care of a swing bed program or could not be taken care of at the hospital and like, or home health, you found the unique way to do it, but you kept being curious instead of being afraid, you kept stepping into curiosity and of course, Anybody will be lying to you if they pretend like we're not all scared at one point or nervous or worried.

Right. But we realize that that's not gonna really get us to where we're trying to be. So it's so good to just step into like, okay, well, I did that part. Let me do the little next part, the next part, the next part. So, um, I'm listening to a book right now. Um, eat that frog and. Like most of us are not like, oh, I can't wait to go eat a frog.

Right. mm-hmm but the concept is that if we start our day with the things that are like the most important, that could really make a difference. So like for you, it was filling in that paperwork, like, uh, establishing an LC, uh, uh, look looking through those licenses, like everything that you needed, getting a loan, getting a location, getting all that and having like a bigger vision.

Then, like the loan you just took off and you're like, oh my God, I'm in debt. Right? Like most of us wanna shut down at that part. Right. But you knew that you had a bigger dream and you just kept focusing on who you were gonna help. I know you and I had multiple conversations about like, well, who's your ideal client, right?

Like, who are you trying to help? And the more that we know who we're trying to. The easier it is for us to show up. Right. Right. And, and, and it's so good that you, if you didn't know something, I think this is the ADHD us, you just ask who else does know or who might know, or what training can I go do? Or what else can I do?

Right. Because it's in that faith, when you are doing that. You don't realize that you look back and you're like, oh my God, I made a lot of progress in four months. I got this thing up and up and running. Okay. So how long have you been doing what you're currently doing? Tell us, tell us all the things. 

Cassandra Lopez: So our year was, so it's been a year, so it's been, um, our year was in the end of August, I believe.

So it's been a year, a little over a year, so, and it's been. I wouldn't lie and say, there hasn't been small headaches, but they, there, there has been, but it's very, um, it has allowed some freedom that I didn't have before. Um, and we're just continuing to grow. So, 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: so tell us freedom of time, freedom of money, freedom of what your, your own loss.

Cassandra Lopez: Tell me, yeah. Being your own boss is, um, definitely different. So I like. I don't think I don't ever plan on working nine to five again. So I keep that in my mind, uh, to keep going, cuz I know that's not where I wanna be again. So freedom of time, freedom of money. Um, and the most important is time though. So you can, I do have time to be with family and not always have to work all the time or have to explain to somebody why I have to leave early or take a quick break to be.

My family or something for my child. So that's, that's probably the best thing. Do you have people working with you? Yes, I do have people working with me. We have about 25 employees. So that's also another thing that I do. Like, um, it's just a blessing to be able to provide employment for. For people and help.

And we have sponsored a few sporting events and uniforms for our community. So giving back to the community is also a good thing. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: That's amazing. Right? Like, so the growth that you've had, that not only okay, now me and my partner are like, thinking about this idea, but this idea. So to say. And then you provide employment for 25 other people.

Like how amazing is that? Just because you decided to take a chance and decided that you were worth the opportunity to something better to provide a service. Right? Right. Yeah. Isn't that just like amazing. Yes. Ma'am. Okay. So, so what are some tools that have allowed you to like keep going? Um, 

Cassandra Lopez: probably to always remind myself that you are worthy.

I know a lot of people think that they're not worth some of the things that they see come in their way, or they're not allowed to live a certain lifestyle or want certain things. So kind of remind, remind myself that and some different podcasts than, um, books to. and also planning. I think I would learn that from you, so to kind of plan and set boundaries that that kind of keeps me going.

So I have a planner and with my ADHD, I know that I have to have it on. Of actual planner, not on my phone, cuz if it's on my phone, I might pick it up and play a game or do something instead of looking at my calendar. So, um, just planning is a good thing. So I try to write everything down if it's not on my, uh, calendar for the day or if it's not an emergency, I don't add it because I just, you need to have time for yourself.

And so just that's one of the main things that I think is having a planner and sticking to the plan. Okay. And if you don't know something. Ask somebody and you don't have to know everything. There's somebody who is like my business partner, he's financial business, he know everything. So I don't have to worry about learning all of that.

You. Partner with somebody and reach out and have resources to help. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Yeah. That's so important to realize that you don't have to be all the things you just have to realize. What are the things that you can do only you can do? Or what are your zone of genius or what is what you're passionate about? And do more of that and then whatever still needs to get done.

Who can you delegate that can actually do it right? 

Cassandra Lopez: right. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Okay. So, um, I know, you know, um, uh, I've seen you grown as a person. I it's been a humbling experience and I seen you make decisions, uh, for the betterment of yourself and your emotional health and your mental health and your physical health. Um, What is one of the things that you think you're one of like proudest stuff in the last three years or the last four years that you see yourself now as a different person, because you've been able to accomplish 

Cassandra Lopez: it?

Um, I would think just probably being able to let go of my full-time job. I think that's, uh, a lot of people think that they have to stay somewhere that they're either not happy with, or maybe getting mistreated or different things like that. Just. It's where you get your main income from or different things like that.

But really when you take the risk and just do what you need or what's on your heart, um, you might be scared, but it's definitely worth it. So that's probably the main thing I would say, if you're not happy somewhere or you wanna do something, don't stay there just because you don't know how you may make meet means, meet your needs or different things like that.

Just take the risk and. Very proud that I did. And look what has happened after that. So, 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: yeah. So, um, it's crazy how the universe just sends you messages. Right? So this morning during my meditation, um, I was in a meditation group with other physicians this morning. Uh, the leader was talking about, um, the law of intention and desire, and she was talking about how.

Like, whatever your soul is, journeying, like what it wants, like you can accomplish it. That's why journeying it. Like you wouldn't be desiring it if you weren't worthy or you weren't already on a path to receive it. Right. And so it's so interesting that. Like you just said, if you desire something bigger, something, not just your eight to five, not just like, okay, this is okay, but it's not great.

Like we only get one shot at life. Right. So why not like do it with something that is meaningful for us and meaningful for those around us and, and decide that it's okay to take the risk. There's only there. So recently you learned there's, uh, the same pathway for fear and excite. They go on the same one.

The only difference is that when we are in fear mode, like we're holding our breath. I don't know if you noticed or not, but when we're like, we're kind of like, like bracing for it, right? Yeah. But excitement, like, it's not like you're not a little. Scared you still are, but you it's that like, you know, think of when you get on a rollercoaster, you or you have that adrenaline rush.

Right. But you're kind of breathing through it or like when you gave birth to your kid, right. Like you, it's not like you are like, oh, well, you know, I have fear. I'm not gonna like push him out. I'm just gonna keep like, like you have to breathe through that. Right. Right. And so it's just understanding. When our heart is asking us to go all in, like we need to listen, like, and we need to trust that.

Sometimes we do have to take those risks because if we don't take the risks, we might not lose the weight. We might not find a boyfriend. We might not find a partner for this new dream that we are going towards. Right. Right. And just because we've been doing things the same way over and over for a while.

Right. It doesn't mean it has to continue to be the same way. Like we get it, like, we all wanna put the least amount of effort in whatever we're doing, because we wanna conserve energy. But sometimes whatever we're doing is actually draining our energy instead of like refueling our energy. Right. And we honest, we have those encounters that are like, oh my God, like, why me?

Right. But at the same time, it's like, Hmm. I wonder if I didn't put a boundary there or I wonder what is going on with that person instead of like making it about you, like figuring out what is the thing there. Right. Right. So with ADHD, I, I really, I think I'm biased, you know, I really think it's like a superpower.

It allows us to like define gravity. It, it, it allows us to think bigger and not make it mean anything that it hasn't been done yet. Right. Right. I mean, everybody is looking at me like, are you crazy? You're trying to set up a retreat in Costa Rica. And I'm like, yeah. Why not? Like, it's just right. 

Cassandra Lopez: Like, so it's just Rica 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: yeah.

I mean, it's just Costa Rica, then you just book a venue. I mean, and I did. Right. so right. I mean, and sometimes we that's what we forget that just because we've been going on a certain path for so long, it doesn't mean we can't pivot. Like, it doesn't mean that things have to always be permanent. Right, right.

That's. Yeah. I mean, for, I've been talking to you about trying to do a retreat or starting a group coaching for the longest time. Right. And right. Um, for four months I thought I was gonna have my retreat. Over there in Puerto Rico. Like , I really thought that's where it was going. And then all of a sudden something was, you know how sometimes life cur throws you curve balls and you're like upset.

But what if it's like life telling you. That's not where it was meant to be, or that was not right. There's something bigger for you. Right. And so, yeah. And in three days I pivoted and I was like, no, it's, it's in Costa Rica. And I found the venue and I booked it and here we, you know, so it's like, you have to always remember why we're doing what we're doing.

I mean, it hasn't changed. I still wanna help physicians and I still wanna help healthcare people, professionals. To be able to live life in their own terms. And obviously you are in a living example that you're living life in your own terms, and that you're creating an impact, a ripple effect because now you turned around and are helping employing 25 other individuals.

It's like the ripple effect. And, and this is just like what, when you're in, I can only imagine like what we're gonna be celebrating. Three years, five years, 10 years, right? Like how amazing that's going to be. 

Cassandra Lopez: Yeah, I can't wait. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: that's so good. Okay. So where do you see yourself like doing for fun in three to five years 

Cassandra Lopez: traveling 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: where, tell me 

Cassandra Lopez: anywhere.

I'm ready to go anywhere. Just more travel. Yeah. That's what I, 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: yeah, I really, I really think that traveling, like exposing ourselves to different cultures is the, is one of the fastest ways to grow because right. It takes us out of our bubble. It, it makes us wonder what it might have been like for people in that town, like 10 years ago, 40 years ago, 2000 years ago, like, right.

Like it's just. Makes you reevaluate, whether what we're doing right now is important or not, or is it gonna matter in five or 20 or 30 years from now? So it just gives you more perspective. Okay. Right. You know, you, you know, I love to travel. Tell me where, where do you wanna travel? Like Costa Rica, like Thailand, Japan, Brazil, like, what are you contemplating 

Cassandra Lopez: everywhere.

I wanna hit em, all. I just, just, what am I go? Costa Rica is one for sure. I wanna go there. Um, I'm going to Jamaica pretty soon. So. That's one that I'm gonna knock out. So just everywhere. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Yeah. And you know, it's, I, I, um, I know I'm pressing you to tell me where, but the only reason I'm doing that is because.

Clarity and intention, like if you write it down, like right, then your mind is focused on that, right. It's going to find ways or opportunities or the universe is gonna provide 'em for you. Like for all, you know, you can go help somebody set up. But you are setting up over there, right? Like how amazing would that be to go teach your model to somebody over there or to just go hang out and like, forget about work for like 10 days or five days or whatever, and not be attached to her phone.

Like we usually are. Right? Yeah. So, um, Other than helping right now with your, uh, your business. Are you helping other businesses start up themselves? 

Cassandra Lopez: So that's something we're, we're starting. So we're looking into starting to create businesses like ourselves and then, you know, selling them or consulting and see if they needed help with anything.

So that is, um, our next plan that's in place. So we're. We have it written down. Well, I do. I'm pretty sure he, my business partner does too, but by the end of the year to have another business started and up for sale, so, and provide some consultation if needed. So that's on the, that's on their next to do 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: list.

Yeah. And again, like, look at you dreaming bigger and bigger and bigger, right? Like, right. That's what this is about. Like, um, I've learned to be in rooms where, you know, we are not the unicorns, like. We all say, add more zeros to that, like, right. Have a bigger dream, like create bigger impact for all the people working with you.

Like why not? Why not me? 

Cassandra Lopez: Right. And it's important to surround yourself with those kind of people. Cause not everyone's gonna see your vision. And they might think, you know, when I first started talking about beloved community care, especially in the nursing home, you know, people. Kind of roll their eyes or not, not really understand the vision.

So not, not everyone is gonna understand your vision. So even with us trying to create more of these businesses and maybe sell them and different stuff like that, um, it's important to discuss that with people that, that have the same mind frame as you, because you're gonna keep each other motivated versus someone who doesn't really understand it.

You know, so finding your service 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: is important. Yeah. So that, that is so important. Like we are the average of the five people we hang around with. And sometimes, I mean, I don't wanna say our family holds us back because they don't, but sometimes, like you said, the people around you, um, they just don't understand or, or they haven't seen it done.

So like that's kind of weird or. Just an idea or whatever. Right. But we are so good of creating stuff from nothing of being it up and then making it a reality. Right. Right. And so that, that also tells us that because we can come up with thousands of ideas being aware that not all the ideas are meant to come to fruitation.

Right. But again, if you are aware of your intention or, and you have clarity exactly. What you want to, uh, study what you want to go and, uh, visit what you want to go. You know, what you want for your, for your company then it's, it's just gives you a framework on how to work backwards to try to obtain what you have.

And like you said, find shortcuts, like don't do it all yourself. Somebody in a different method might have been doing something similar. Ask them questions and see if you can shortcut some of the trials and tribulations that they went through. Right. And so that way together you enhance and you also provide a win-win situation for them any way you could provide your services to them.

Right. So, yeah. Right. So fill in the gap has allowed you to. Become your boss and, and get your own freedom of time and your own financial freedom. And that's like, that's not an easy task. So you should be very, very proud of yourself and what you're doing in our community. Thank 

Cassandra Lopez: you. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Awesome. Okay. So where can people find you if they maybe want to ask you about how to set up their own business, or if they want to contract you so that you can help their loved ones?

Like where can people find you? 

Cassandra Lopez: So my website is beloved community care.com. So that is the website. You can, um, have my email address on, on there. You can email me. Um, my email address is Cassandra L beloved community care, so they can contact me that way. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Awesome. Okay. So I always say my people have ADHD.

We have ADHD. Sometimes we know we tune out, but let's say like, right. The second is when they're like looked up and they're starting to pay attention. What is the takeaway nugget that you would want them to take away from our conversation 

Cassandra Lopez: today to, uh, take the risk. And don't be afraid if you have a dream, write it down and just know don't you don't have to tackle it all at once.

You just little by little, just every day, write down what you're gonna work on for that day. Get it done. And don't try to overwork yourself, just get that part of it done. And tomorrow's a new day. You start on the next part. And then four months later you'll have a business you could have a business.

That's what happened with us. 

Dr. Diana Mercado-Marmarosh: Awesome. So you heard it, break it down, ask questions, try again. Next day. Before, you know, it, breaking it down, adding of those steps they compound before, you know it, you're leaving your dream. And it's a reality because you wrote it down and you took steps and things happen.

We always forget that, you know, we have a. But we always have a choice, right. We could decide, oh, I'm just gonna skip work today. Or I'm just gonna skip exercise today, or I'm not, I'm gonna skip cleaning today. Right. But the next day, if we keep doing that, we end up a little bit further away from where we, where we wanted to be at.

So we have to be willing to try something new or something different. To obtain a different result. And so whatever quality of input you put in, you put quality input, listening to books, podcasts surrounding yourself, with people who are thinking, wanting to grow, then you're gonna grow. If you surround yourself with people who.

Are happy where they are, but not really happy because all they do is complain. , um, that's draining and that's gonna drain your energy. So you decide the choice is yours. If you're a healthcare professional that wants a different lifestyle that wants to learn how to create time. In your own way, how to, um, close your charts, how to just be more present at home.

how to quote unquote, become back to you and all of you and be inspired like Cassandra to live life in your own terms.
