    175. magic mind's james beshara built a $50 million company by working less

    Cassidy sits down with James Beshara, co-founder of Magic Mind, fresh off one of his Philosophy Friday sessions at The Lighthouse. At 26, James was drinking six cups of coffee a day, needing two-hour naps after nine hours of sleep, and ended up in the ER having his heart shocked back into rhythm — and his first thought was getting back to the office. Sound familiar? This conversation digs into what happens when the hustle that's supposed to get you to the top starts breaking you down instead. James shares how he went from waking up every morning feeling like he was living in a nightmare to building a $50M company while working less, making music, raising three kids on a farm in Malibu, and actually loving his life. Cassidy and James explore why chasing peace with urgency will never get you there, what it actually takes to find your version of sustainable success, and the difference between rowing harder and learning to use the sail. If you've ever felt like you're sprinting toward something that keeps slipping further away, this one's for you.

    174. 2025: the year i stopped shrinking & started shining (my year in review)

    In this deeply personal year-in-review episode, Cassidy reflects on 2025 month by month—not as a highlight reel, but as a nervous system case study. From evacuation and lock down during the LA fires in January to landing big contracts by November, she shares what it actually took to expand her capacity during one of the hardest and most abundant years of her life. Cassidy gets honest about navigating a professional identity crisis, watching diet culture return disguised as GLP-1 wellness, managing an autoimmune flare triggered by family trauma, and ultimately rebuilding her business around all of who she is—not just pieces. This episode is for anyone in a season where nothing quite makes sense yet. Clarity comes. Taking care of yourself in the meantime is the work. free trial to open subscribe to the podcass (more content here!!)

    173. why you keep burning out (and the 4 shifts that will actually fix it)

    Most people were never taught how to build a life—or a business—with burnout prevention built into it. In this episode, Cassidy shares the complete framework she used to fully heal from burnout, not just manage it. After years of working 60-hour weeks, crying every day, and eventually quitting her six-figure corporate job with no backup plan, Cassidy developed a 4-shift system that addresses burnout at the root. She breaks down why most burnout advice (set boundaries, take a bath, practice self-care) doesn't work long-term, and what actually does. In this episode, you'll learn: The 4 shifts that actually heal burnoutWhy most people skip the first (and why that keeps them stuck in the burnout cycle)The difference between emotional habits and actual habits—and how to untangle themHow to use neuroplasticity to rewire your brain so change doesn't feel hard foreverThe early warning signs of burnout (and how to catch yourself before you're completely depleted)How to build a life that doesn't require constant recovery fromWhy the holidays are about to test every single one of these shifts Whether you're an entrepreneur trapped in the business you built, a creator burning out from trying to be everywhere at once, or a high achiever who thought leaving corporate would solve everything, this episode will show you how to heal burnout for good. subscribe to the podcast (more content here!) anti-burnout holiday playbook the balanced blueprint

    172. the 9-5 is dying (this is your sign)

    In this bold solo episode, Cassidy declares what many are feeling but few are saying out loud: the traditional 9-to-5 is dead, and it's not because of AI or economic shifts—it's because we finally realized we were never meant to live like this. Drawing from her decade of building multiple six-figure businesses while managing her own health conditions, she delivers a raw wake-up call for capable, high-performing individuals who've spent years being everyone's rock while forgetting to build their own foundation. Cassidy unpacks "the curse of the capable"—the paradox where competence becomes a prison, where strength becomes the excuse for everyone to pile more on your plate, and where burnout stays invisible because you perform it so well. She explains why you can't vision your future from survival mode, how your nervous system has been hijacked by false urgency, and the critical difference between being capable and having capacity. This episode serves as both permission slip and tactical framework for collapsing the timeline between where you are and where you want to be. Cassidy shares her controversial take on why the gap isn't real—it's the story you keep telling yourself—and how to start being the person who has what you want today, not five years from now. She challenges the toxic belief that ease and impact can't coexist, proving through her own journey of working three days a week while building sustainable wealth that genius emerges from overflow, not depletion. As founder of Nourish Without Numbers, host of The Podcass, and leader of the Sustainable Impact Academy, Cassidy offers a revolutionary approach to the future of work: design your life first, then build a career or business that supports it—not the other way around. She addresses the wellness-as-strategy framework that separates sustainable success from entrepreneurial exhaustion, explaining why mastering your nervous system matters more than your marketing plan. For visionaries who know they're more talented than half the people making millions online but haven't done anything about it yet, this episode is your sign. Cassidy provides the five-step revolution for extracting your genius into scalable systems, reframes the limiting beliefs keeping you stuck, and prepares you for the opinions that will come when you finally stop playing small. This is the anti-burnout manifesto for capable people ready to stop saving everyone else long enough to build something that actually serves them. subscribe to the podcass
