Episode notes

Cassie: I run a studio with my husband, Mark. It's called Jane and Jerry. And we work out of our home. We don't have daycare or anything. We swap out for childcare. Whoever is not working is watching kids and vice versa. So that's pretty much runs our life right now. But yeah, that's life. My family is all down in Florida. In Mark's parents are all in England. Besides friends, we kind of do it all ourselves. You have some friends that babysit or cover for you guys to go on dates? That will be part of the next episode.

Cassie McDaniel inspires us to get away from the ‘pick me’ mindset, and to pick ourselves. She challenges us to be willing to kill our darlings so that something better can emerge. She teaches us the importance of knowing our values, but also embracing the fact that they are going to change. She also encourages us to not just do what we’re good at, but do what we enjoy.
