SUMMARY 
In this episode we cover ALOT ... here is a summary of the areas. 

Coach Cass journey through unsuccessful relationships and her struggle with continually "dating the wrong guy." Her "defining moment" came after receiving numerous wedding invitations and wondering why she was still single.


Being a  "student of love," reading almost 100 books on the subject and interviewing couples who had been happily married for over 25 years.


The impact of  limiting beliefs in our  love life


Despite now being in a fulfilling marriage,  stressing no relationship is perfect and that both she and her husband are works in progress.


Many professional women are settling in relationships due to limited perspectives and preconceptions about love.


We talk about  advice given by friends and family can often be counterproductive or rooted in their own negative experiences.


Coach Cass works  with "marriage-minded women" or women seeking long-term partnerships, aiming to help them vet potential partners effectively.

Coach Cass gives relationship guidelines.

The importance of self-awareness and self-work in building a successful, fulfilling relationship. 

AND SO MUCH MORE ...

Maui 
"When disasters happen, it’s easy to turn away. We scroll on our phones and say, “Wow, that’s horrible…” and then carry on with our days. We distract ourselves because it’s too overwhelming to think about what’s happening. 
Please don’t turn away, because this is a moment when we all need to turn towards our friends in Hawaii and do our part to help. This is an opportunity to be a hero for someone in need" Rachel Rogers 
This is the official County of Maui government website. They recommend donating to Maui Strong and Maui United Way. Please give to trusted organizations and avoid fundraising scams which sadly tend to show up during times of crisis.
