Conferences Are Hard
Posted by: | CommentsWhen I was in high-school I was somewhat of a free spirit. I was known to say absurd things. I was known for making crazy odd moves. My friends still today refer to me as creepy in a totally loving-Cassie you’re a weirdo kind of way.
During the nine months that I was pregnant I went through alot of changes. Not just physically but mentally. I began to feel nervous. I started thinking more about the things that came out of mouth. The ways that I worded my thoughts. The way that I presented myself.
Conferences are hard for me.
I love going and meeting everyone. I love meeting brands. I am kind of known for my “natural” ability to network. It isn’t natural. Sometimes I feel like my heart is going to pound out of my chest. But I do it.
Because it is who I am.
It is who I was.
It is who I have always been.
In the moment I just go with it. I move fast. I go with the moment. I have no fear. I say what is on my mind. I just go with my gut…in a sense.
It is following the conference when things get hard. I start re-playing conversations in my head. I start re-thinking the way people responded to me. I start getting worried. The thoughts fill my heads and they move pretty fast. I get really nervous.
It takes me a few days to come down from this.
This weekend I met some fantastic women. Some trail blazers. Some amazing writers. Some powerful women. Some smart women. Some brilliant women.
I am soaking it all in. Bringing my heart rate down. Trying to decompress.
Electrolux Helping a Good Cause
Posted by: | CommentsThere are two things I love more than anything in this world. Helping a good cause and Kelly Ripa.
Ok…maybe that was a bit dramatic.
I remember the first time I saw a Electrolux commercial featuring Kelly Ripa. She twirled her way through the kitchen baking cookies and cakes looking immaculate. (as always). In that moment I really wanted to be Kelly Ripa.
Yesterday I heard about a fantastic cause that Elecrolux and Kelly Ripa are helping and I wanted to be her more than ever. Electrolux has teamed up with Kelly Ripa and Buddy Valastro (Cake Boss!) to raise money for The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
So how can you help?
I am glad you asked!
Head over to Kelly-Confidential and cast your vote for your faveorite cake from Kelly’s Cake Off. For every vote that they receive Electroluxe will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund as part of its $500,000 commitment to help fight Ovarian Cancer.
Want to help out even more?
Wow, you ARE a rockstar!
You can find them on Twitter and take part in the #CakeOff!
