Video: Nurture Your Soul to Connect with YOUR Calling

Cassandra Rae — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 16:44:20 +0000

Before I became a coach I was a tax accountant trapped in a cubicle and miserable. But, it was the misery that helped me reconnect with my soul. If I had been any less miserable, then maybe I’d still be a cubicle-living, number-cruncher…

Take a moment right now to get quiet and listen to your heart and soul desires. What do you want to do? And maybe more importantly…what are you willing to do to nurture your soul today? Scroll down and leave us a comment letting us know what you are willing to do. When you write down and share your intentions they gather power and momentum – two things I want lots of for you.

Video: Are You a Control Freak Like Me?

Cassandra Rae — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:47:25 +0000

Do you ever find yourself struggling with control issues? Yeah, me too. I often find myself feeling ping-pong’d in between trying to take full control and letting go of all control. Neither place feels good. And usually the behaviors that go with those two extremes don’t serve me or the people I’m relating with. So the other day I had this brilliant insight (thank you Universe!) and recorded this video. So take a 5 minute break, sit back, relax, and prepare to empower your relationship with control!

So what do you think? Is it possible? How might it work for you? Post or email me your thoughts, arguments, complaints, experiences, etc. This topic fascinates me and I’d love to hear from you.

Have you been holding yourself back?

Cassandra Rae — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 16:27:30 +0000

Is your heart and soul calling you to do something bold?

Are you ready to step into it?

Based on your answers, what is one bold thing you are willing to do today? My bold thing is sharing the video below. You see, I filmed it 10 days ago and when I watched it just now I heard a part of me say, “Don’t do it. Don’t share it. Because then you have to be bold and you might not live up to it.”

And to that part of me I reply, “Thank you for looking out for me. I know you have my best interest at heart. Today I’m going to share the video because it’s an important message to share. It doesn’t mean I have to do or be anything other than myself. And I like myself. I like you too. Can we agree to disagree and be friends anyway? I could use all the support I can get right now.”

Now I feel this release. Like, “Oh okay. Well when you put it that way, go ahead and post the video. People will probably be able to relate to it and now that I know I don’t have to prove myself let’s have some fun!”

Cool!

So check out the video and then post your comment telling us about your relationship with bold. What are ready to do? It’s Friday…let’s be bold together!

p.s. I’ve got something bold being announced this coming Tuesday, September 28, 2010 so be sure you’re on my list (enter your name & email above) to be the first to find out. It’s P.I.N.K. and bold!

Video: who are you to do that?

Cassandra Rae — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 15:47:29 +0000

Oh my gosh. I’ve been interviewed by the fab Carmen Torbus, cheerleader for Creative Entrepreneurs and I kinda feel like a rock star! *blush*

And instead of writing my answers to the questions, I video-taped them. How cool is that?! Wanna sneak a peek? Yeah, I thought so.

In this video, I answered the question:

What advice, tips, resources, and overall good-to-know information would you offer someone just starting out with regards to finding passion & inspiration and digging in?

I talk about what to do when you hear that voice of fear that says, “Who are you to do that?” Check it out…

So what’d you think? Please post your comments, insights and ideas. We all benefit when you share.

You can also check out the entire interview where I answer more questions like:

What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail and fear didn’t exist?

What is your big dream? Yes, the BIG one! The really, super big, pee your pants when you make it happen dream. The one you feel a wee bit nervous saying out loud. Yep, that one!

Be sure to leave us a comment so that we know you stopped by and so that we can click through and check out your awesomeness on your blog or website too. Don’t ya just love connecting on-line?

Rock it out, Peeps!

Are you ready to follow your heart?

Cassandra Rae — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 17:19:41 +0000

I was invited to an artist’s reception at the Sunnyvale Art Gallery and as I was getting ready I thought, “Wouldn’t it be fun to take my video camera and film one of the artists? I’d love to find out what inspires them to put themselves out there.” So that’s what I did!

It was easy to strike up a conversation with artist Jorge Castrillo. He has such an inviting personality and he immediately opened up about the creative process. I seriously wanted to go home and paint after listening to him talk about it…

You know, being an artist is one of the most intimate and vulnerable things a person can do. You pour your heart out onto a canvas, let people look at it, and then they decide if they like it or not. It’s kinda like running your own business! Yeah, being a painter – and an entrepreneur – certainly isn’t for the faint of heart.

But, Jorge explains in his video why it’s so important to experiment and put yourself out there. When you follow and express your heart, you are putting energy and love into motion that goes out into the world, touches lives, and comes back to you in the coolest ways. The bottom line is…when you create lives are transformed.

Here’s a video of Jorge’s work. You can reach the artist at (408) 992-0635.

What gives life to your life?

What is your heart asking you to do?

A great big juicy THANK YOU! to Z Eggloff author of Verge for sharing her wisdom. You rock, Z.

Video: My Oprah Audition

Cassandra Rae — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 18:09:13 +0000

About a month ago I received a message from a Facebook friend telling me about Oprah’s search for the next TV star. She said…

“I just love all your videos that you put out on facebook and I feel you have what it takes to have you own TV Series!”

Wow! Really? I was flattered and instantly inspired to audition. But, what would my tellie show be about? I didn’t know at first so I asked people for their thoughts, ideas, and insights. I really enjoyed the creative process of opening up to receive ideas both from my network and from my Soul. My favorite experience was when my daughter helped me clarify my ideas while shooting test videos. I was so touched by how much potential she saw in me and how much she believed in me. It was one of those Proud Mama Moments. Know what I mean?

So one afternoon I shot my audition video, uploaded it, and submitted my application. The application was GINORMOUS and it literally took hours to fill it out. They asked so many questions like “How competitive are you?” and “What would you friends say about you?” It was not one of those apps that you can skim through with half-ass answers especially since I wanted to submit an entertaining, thoughtful, and original application. So I sat at my desk and typed away until I was finished and ready to submit. Boy was I wiped out, but also proud of myself for pouring my heart into it…

And then a couple of hours later I received an email telling me that “there was a problem with my video” and they wouldn’t accept it. What?! But, I poured my heart and soul into it. How could they reject it? I was so deflated. I totally took it personally and made up this story in my head that they didn’t like me and my idea wasn’t good enough. It threw me into a genuine funk.

Yuck.

But, a few days later when I was still trying to lift myself out of the self-pity, I was inspired to read every word of the submission guidelines to see if I could figure out why I was “rejected.” At the very bottom of the huge page of guidelines I saw that you are not allowed to mention Facebook or Twitter. Doh! I had done both and all of a sudden it clicked that they hadn’t rejected me and my idea. I had simply not followed the guidelines. Okay, this made much more sense because quite frankly I thought my video was better than a lot of the top viewed ones.

There was time to redo the video & resubmit. I even shot a few more trying to recapture my initial enthusiasm and energy. Yeah, it simply wasn’t there. It didn’t feel right. I was trying really hard to recreate it and it felt contrived. In fact, I wasn’t even enjoying the process and the first time through was so much fun.

I was also right in the middle of planning and preparing for my fist mini-retreat, which by the way was phenomenal! When it came down to the deadline, my schedule and my heart simply didn’t have the room to resubmit. So I let it go trusting that I had received what I needed from it.

I’m still not 100% sure if I sabotaged myself by not resubmitting, but I can say that I do feel good about where I’m at on other fronts. I also know that tellie is definitely a part of my future. I don’t know how or when. But, I will be on tellie someday and probably a lot sooner than I realize!

Coaching Opportunity

Is there a story you’re making up about yourself or your endeavors?

Is it true?
Is it serving you?
And is there another way you can see it?
