You’re Not Cold—You’re Burned Out (and It’s Costing Your Connection)

It’s not that you don’t care. It’s not that you’re distant on purpose.
It’s burnout—and it’s making it harder to connect with the people you love most.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• How emotional burnout makes high-achievers feel unavailable in their own lives
  
  

• Why disconnection doesn’t mean disinterest
  
  

• The cost of pushing through without restoration
  
  

• What to do when showing up starts to feel like going through the motions
  
  

This is your permission slip to stop pretending you're fine—and start being honest about what you actually need.

🔔 And don’t forget—next week is the Season 1 finale of The Girl… You Good?.
Season 2 drops October 7th.

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything for everyone — and lowkey raging about it? 😅 In this episode, we’re talking resentment, silent scorekeeping, and how even the most helpful people hit their limit.

Cassandra shares a yoga moment that hilariously reveals just how wired she is to fix what isn’t even hers to carry — and why that pattern leads to burnout and bitterness if we don’t call it out.

In this episode:

• What silent scorekeeping sounds like in your head

• Why your capacity isn’t the same as your calling

• The trap of helping from guilt instead of overflow

• A gentler way to love, support, and not lose yourself in the process

We’re talking about emotional minimizing — why we downplay our feelings, how it shows up in everyday life, and what it costs us in the long run.

Cassandra shares her own pattern of staying calm in crisis but spinning out over small things, how her friend group (“the board”) helps her process, and why validation isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

In this episode:

• The hidden roots of emotional avoidance

• How minimizing protects you — and when it backfires

• Signs something is actually that deep

• What it means to self-validate (even when no one else gets it)

If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” while falling apart quietly — this one’s for you.

Every spring, I find myself dreaming of the magical summer I’m going to create — the bucket lists, the smoothie-making, the reading charts, the big outings. But year after year, I’d hit August and wonder… how did I miss it?

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about the summer I finally realized I was working against my own brain in pursuit of Pinterest-level memories. And more importantly — how I reset.

You’ll hear:

• Why your summer doesn't have to look like anyone else’s
  
  

• How to build a realistic “magic container” for your season
  
  

• Why presence always matters more than performance
  
  

• And how one summer with a painfully mismatched bucket list helped me shift my mindset for good
  
  

Whether you’re rocking themed snack days or just trying to keep everyone in clean underwear, this episode will remind you that your version of magic counts.

Episode 5: The Snap Isn’t Always About the Kids

Ever find yourself yelling “WHAT?!” at your sweet, joyful kid — and then feel like the worst? You're not alone, and you’re not a monster. In this episode, we break down why those snapping moments happen and how they’re often not about the thing — but about the lack of transition.

Cassandra shares a real-life moment (involving spaghetti, a school app, and a lot of noise) and unpacks the powerful truth behind our multi-tasking overload. You’ll walk away with a mindset shift and a tangible micro-strategy to help you stay grounded in the moment — especially when it’s loud and messy.

In this episode:

• Why multitasking makes us snappy
  
  

• The invisible stressors of everyday life
  
  

• A simple reset strategy you can use in the moment
  
  

• A reminder that presence isn’t about perfection
