Upcycled Adulting's Inner Circle

When I was 22 my friends would joke about how dire it would have to be for me to ask for help. I realized while I'm fiercely independent and a rescuer, that I need people too. I started with safe people. People who, even if they couldn't help wouldn't make me feel diminished for asking. Thousands of small steps later, I can ask for help AND let the person help in their own way, without trying to control it.

I am grateful for you.  At 47, for the first time in my life I actually like who I am. Not everyone realizes the agreements we make with ourselves that cause all the negative self talk. Thanks for allowing me in this space.

You inspire me.  This morning my affirmations brought me to tears. The power behind them now is larger than it has ever been. Thank you!

I was really nervous going through some testing recently so I started repeating affirmations that 'You can do it" and "You can do hard things" and "you got this".  And I was fine... and if I felt my Perfectionism coming out I just repeated those words and I did fine!!! It was a HUGE win for me and not a mindset I think I could have done at this time last year. I would have just kind of shut down.

I’m going to sound like Cassie now - write in your accomplishment journal! I have been doing this more lately and it makes me feel so much better and makes me recognize the others good things I have done during the day!

I decided right there and then to stop sabotaging myself for no reason (well, maybe fear)...Take the Small Step, you won't die, I didn't!

I don't want to brag to the world, but I just wanted to tell my people: I FEEL FANTASTIC! I am so happy seeing the positive effects of my healthy changes. I know life will have curveballs with stressful things but my mindset can handle them so much more now. I am happy so much more. My boundaries are natural and comfortable. I set myself up for success...I am witnessing this pay off in my life in every way and cannot say enough about it!

This has been amazing, eye-opening, and validating...Thank you so very much!

I’m so grateful for this Challenge. I’ve discovered things about myself and how my inner voice can sabotage my growth. Cassie and her team have helped me unleash momentum and intentionality that I didn’t even know existed. I’m fixed towards success.

The challenge has been amazing! Cassie teaches everything in small, attainable, simple small steps that are easy to incorporate into your daily life. This has been a game-changer for me.

Hi Cassie! I wanted to let you know that you have helped me more in the last couple of months than anyone or anything has. As hard as it has been to dive into these feelings it has definitely been worth it. I am looking forward to see what else I can learn!!

I loved doing the Vision Board workshop. It helped me to focus on my goal and what steps I need to take to accomplish it.

I’m so grateful for this...I have actionable steps to be working on myself instead of just wishing for it. The support has been wonderful...!

I set a date for a procedure I need done, then immediately thought about taking time off work/bills. I realized the small steps I've taken in budgeting, planning, saving, credit repair, etc, has me ready for this. I have my bills paid forward 3 months, and am approved for a low interest credit card that will bridge the gap when I'm 100% down. You may not see your progress yet, but keep taking the next small step. Someday you'll look back at a very long distance traveled.

Finances have always been such a bone of contention for me, but making the changes that I have and working on my mindset the way I have, even though I still slip up, I finally feel like I have some control over money instead of it controlling me. This is a big win! Next to tackle our other financial goals!
