Cassie talks motherhood:
What would you tell an expecting mom about the experience of being a mother?
I would tell the expectant mom to have little expectations, be flexible while serving up large amounts of grace to yourself and your partner, if there is one!
What is the hardest part about being a mom? Biggest frustrations?
Sitting in the now. Resting and trusting in each of the seasons of parenting. I have had to really battle parenting out of fear. My children will have a story of their own to tell. Pain is a part of life. If it wasn’t for heartbreak we wouldn’t have the opportunity to know the true gifts of life, and that is what I really want my children to experience.
What is your favorite part about being a mom? What makes all the hard stuff worth it?
Their unconditional love and how much more of a better person they made me. It is because of the challenges and difficult times of parenting that I have had to dig deep and pull out of me the strength I never thought I was capable of.
Any tips, tools, and tricks do you use that you’d love to tell other moms about?
Family meetings have really reduced stress, nagging and helped with taking responsibility. And an action plan. They are really helpful in navigating family problems.

From Cassie:
“Ten years of being a single mom and I struggled with finances. Big time. One bankruptcy and nearly $100,000 of debt. Sound familiar, friend? Because I’m not good at keeping secrets and because I don’t want you to struggle for as long as I did, I put together this list.
My top 10 secrets that helped me stay content and press on to get out of debt and stay there. I hope you are able to use a few of these, if not all.”
