About this listen
What happens after the crash? In this episode, Cassie steps away from the hustle to talk about the silence that follows. We explore the internal isolation of chronic illness—the feeling of your mind wanting to go 100 mph while your body hits the brakes.
Using the "Spoon Theory," Cassie breaks down the math of being sick: the cost of a shower, the price of a conversation, and the heartbreak of miscalculating your energy budget. This isn't just about being tired; it's about the guilt of having to say "no" to the people you love and the realization that you don't have to set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
Key Topics:
The "Crash" and the illusion of support.
Understanding Spoon Theory (and the "math" of energy).
The double isolation: abandoning yourself vs. feeling abandoned by others.
Why you are the anchor, and why you must tend to your cracks.
