Praise for You Are Enough

As a recovering perfectionist, this is the book I wish Id read years ago when my inner saboteur was the boss of me. Cassie will teach you how to self soothe and stop pushing yourself to exhaustion. Pause, take a breath and read!

Amy Molloy, Journalist, Author & Contributing Editor at The Collective magazine

Cassies beautiful book will help women end the tirade that we so often have with our inner critic, and get to a place of peace and self love. Sound grand? It is a grand journey, but through Cassies beautiful words and wisdom, she makes it seem possible for women to find their confidence, get the most from their energy, and finally realise their self-worth. This book will help change many lives.

Megan Dalla-Camina, Getting Real About Having It All

As a former perfectionist, Cassies book spoke to me from the very first page. As I move forward in my personal development journey, I understand that our only job is to gently and lovingly release our inner self-critic and give ourselves permission to be enough. Cassie has curated some brilliant tools to help you release those blocks, to allow ourselves to be perfectly imperfect.

This book will claim a proud spot in my library for life.

Melissa Cassera, Business Strategist & Screenwriter

Cassie does a wonderful job in You Are Enough of connecting the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components of self-worth, helping the reader to clear limiting beliefs and blocks, revealing the perfect, whole being youve always been in the process. Cassies toolkit steps the reader through change from a place of loving acceptance, rather than a place of pushing to be something other than the perfection you already are. A great addition to any self-empowerment bookshelf.

Abundance is deeply linked with healthy self-worth. Cassies identification of several ways that low self-worth prevents abundance is refreshingly clear. She walks her readers through potential issues in the most compassionate way, and best of all, offers practical solutions borne from her personal experience. This is a simple and effective how to guide for cultivating self-esteem and enjoying life!

Ezzie Spencer PhD, creator of Lunar Abundance

Cassies beautiful creation You Are Enough will take you on a journey that traverses through the most common (but paralysing) blocks that keep us feeling flat, burnt out, unworthy and less than. And while it lovingly sheds light on these facets, You Are Enough then paves a clear path out of the woods, towards a life that feels free, flowing, and luminously on your own terms. It is a journey rich in self-discovery, of multiplying self-love, and uncovering and nurturing your acceptance of you (just as you are!).

Claire Murray, Naturopath & Writer

You Are Enough is a beautiful read for anyone who wants to boost their thoughts and energy to live a confident and happy life. Cassie is a champion for womens self-care and nourishment and her writing is so fresh and engaging that while reading, you feel like youre getting (great) advice from a knowledgeable girlfriend who wants the absolute best for you. If youre ready to step up in your life and your relationship with yourself, Id highly recommend picking up a copy of Cassies book, locking your door and reading from cover to cover!

Firstly, I am honoured to be writing a foreword to a book which I know would have changed my life for the better, some years ago. There are feelings of both nostalgia, at remembering the young woman I was who desperately needed whats within these very pages and hope, because its finally here for all of those women who desperately need it now. And its oh so required.

In my early twenties, after I had dragged myself through too-many-to-count, sick-inducing hangovers trying to fit in; after my thousandth deprivation diet had resulted in a binge through another bag of sweets, sitting in my car in my pajamas, in a 7-Eleven car park at 10am; after I had almost resigned myself to not being good enough to keep the man or attract the man; and right on the cusp of my sinking into career despair, because I didnt know what I wanted to be when I grew up, I began living my life as this very book coaches you to consider living your life.
