In today’s episode, Cassidy dives into an iconic Rumi quote. Plus a look at one of the sexiest poems in existence… “I want to see you. Know your voice.
Recognize you when you first come round the corner.
Sense your scent when I come into a room you’ve just left.
Know the lift of your heel, the glide of your foot.
Become familiar with the way you purse your lips then let them part, just the slightest bit, when I lean in to your space and kiss you.
I want to know the joy of how you whisper ‘more’.” - Rumi

Happy First Monday of 2022. May that start of your week be ignited and focused. Cassidy dives into a quote that set her heart on fire. “The reign of the Girl Boss is over, it’s time for the Intuitive Entreprenuer.” The Instagram Caption that said it all,
“This. Putting this here on the first Monday of January 2022 because I f%^?# love it. Even when the term #GirlBoss was being thrown around years ago, I kinda hated it. I mean, I’m sure I used it somewhere around 2016. There are 100% some videos somewhere of me using the word in YouTube vlogs. But it’s the same way I can’t stand when “Female Director” is used. Just say Director. I don’t need a word in front of it to set it apart into a different box. I never wanted or needed to be a Girl Boss. I just wanted to feel empowered. Hustle culture is over. So when I read this for the first time, I was electrified. The Number One most important thing after being a Kind Human is FOLLOWING YOUR INTUITION. Vibes are real. That spidey sense that goes off when something feels “Off” is not you “Overthinking” something. There is an intuitive, holy, tapped in, all knowing piece of magic we all have that guides us. When we honor it, Cosmic Goodness things happen. I’m talking really paying attention to how your body reacts to things that happen. If you feel anxiety rise in your chest and your nervous system goes haywire around certain places, people, or things, it is not courageous to force yourself to be in those environments. The most courageous thing to do is to follow your gut. It doesn’t allows make sense in the moment but later, the pieces will come together. My prayer for everyone this year is that they follow their into intuition, spend time on things because you feel good while doing it, not because you feel like you should be doing it.
"If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living." - Joseph Campbell

Health documentaries like this can be heavy to watch but knowledge empowers us to deeply understand how we are treating our bodies. It’s important to know what causes inflammation in the body to prevent it. Cassidy is shocked to discover that researchers found that eating one egg per day was just as bad for your heart as smoking five cigarettes per day! A single large egg contains more than 180 mg of cholesterol, and the average American consumes almost five eggs per week. No wonder heart disease is the number one killer. It’s also important to be aware of what additives have been forbidden in Europe but are still approved in the United States.
