Live and lead from your most powerful self through rest
Rest Mentorship
“You were not just born to center your entire existence on work and labor.
You were born to heal, to grow, to be of service to yourself and community, to practice, to experiment, to create, to have space, to dream, and to connect.”
— Tricia Hersey, The Nap Ministry
Your life was never just about you. Everything you’ve done has been in service of your loved ones, your community, and the world you most want to live in.
So you learned to work really hard. Take care of others. Stand up for what you believe in. Make a lot out of a little. Be strong. Put on a brave face. Survive against all odds.
But you’ve begun to realize that how you pursue meaning, success, and belonging is actually hurting you. Clearly, it’s not sustainable… but you don’t know any other way.
You’re tired of judging yourself by unrealistic measures of success that only leave you emptier and unfulfilled.
You’re resentful of how little room there is for pleasure, peace, or the fullness of your humanity in your daily life.
You can sense how hustle culture has cost you everything that truly matters: your health, your relationships, your joy, your sleep, and your ability to be present.
You’ve never seen anyone who looks like you live and lead from a rested, empowered, and grounded place.
But now you’re ready and willing to find out.
Your brilliance has been buried under fear stress, exhaustion, and guilt.
The Rest Mentorship is for people who:
Want to rest, but feel overwhelmed with how or where to begin
Experience fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, resistance, and other difficulties when trying to rest
Desire to know who they can be and how they can do impactful work without accepting burnout as the norm or requirement
Are interested in cultivating a compassionate relationship with their mind, body, and spirit that facilitates healing, growth, and freedom from internalized oppression
Are looking to address the survival strategies, limiting beliefs, or educational gaps that keep them trapped them in boom-and-bust cycles
Are committed to living and leading from their most powerful selves
Have busy schedules that would benefit from personalized 1:1 attention, accountability, and support
My 1:1 Rest Mentorship call changed that powerful space between my heart and body.
I entered wanting to face my inner-surveillance and pathology of white supremacy… AKA that pressure to judge my burnout meltdowns with thoughts like, “There must be something wrong with me. Am I crazy?”
After our call, I understood that my individual experience is sacred. Cassandra helped me speak from a true, wild, and powerful voice about burnout, in a way I have been craving for too long.
Our 1:1 gave me this deeply personal sense of courage and belonging to pay attention to my grief, rage, and unnameable exhaustion.

My approach to coaching
The Rest Mentorship is provides you with personalized support so that you can break through the illusion that exhaustion is the only way to live, lead, or love.
Through 1:1 coaching, somatic healing practices, and liberatory rest education that meets you where you are at, I empower my clients to courageously define and embody rested leadership, which aspires towards a different kind of legacy – one where our individual and collective wellbeing is a measure of success, not something we sacrifice along the way.
Whether your goals are to heal from burnout, break intergenerational cycles, cultivate healthier relationships, or embody your authentic leadership, it all comes down to culture change:
Examining the conditioning that has shaped your embodiment and distorted what you believe is possible
Alchemizing pain into purpose, smallness into spiritual power, and emotional repression into creative vision
Practicing the culture (internally and externally) that will allow the best of you to lead in your relationships, work, and communities
In the field of somatics, we say that the body heals on YES, meaning the body requires conditions of safety, care, and support in order to transform trauma responses into new, more generative and values-aligned behaviors. This is why learning how to rest is important.
Rest creates safe-enough conditions for you to deprogram your soma (your mind, body, and spirit as a holistic whole), which has, through a lifetime of survival, become accustomed to relating to overworking, self-abandonment, disconnection, and suffering as virtues.
What To Expect
These sessions will help you get embodied clarity on the most frustrating, confusing, or challenging aspects of your rest journey in order to unblock your next step.
We will work together in a highly collaborative, experiential, relational, and emergent way that is inherently decolonial and healing for the parts of us that have experienced oppression. Each session invites you, me, and your body into the conversation as equals where we will ask questions, listen deeply, and work in real time with whatever shows up.
As you journey through and get to know your mind, body, and spirit, we will surface information and follow cues. This will help you to understand, explore, and rewrite your subconscious rest story into one that actually works for your benefit.
My role is to guide, support, and empower your exploration so that you can find meaning, clarity, and resolution.
