  • Dance, Law, Loss & Love: Gabby’s Story of Reimagining Life at 40
    Sep 15 2025
    In this intimate episode, Casey sits down with attorney, dance teacher, and community leader Gabrielle “Gabby” Angle: a woman in full transition. In a single month, Gabby closed on a new home, was laid off from her 9–5, said goodbye to her beloved pup, and lost her father. Instead of bypassing the pain, she chose presence: creating breathing room, shifting her career into consulting, returning to meditative movement, and building simple rituals that anchor her through grief.They talk candidly about burnout, identity shifts, and the strangely practical side of loss: power of attorney, hospice choices, and planning a celebration of life, alongside the softer parts: yin/meditative yoga, oracle cards, skincare, reading before bed, and warm tea at sunrise. If you’re standing in an in-between season, this conversation offers compassion, micro-practices, and permission to choose yourself.Listen for: how to build a self-led schedule, why “breathing room” can heal fight-or-flight, the courage to say no to misaligned opportunities, and the tiny nightly rituals that change everything.Key Takeaways:Grief requires both logistics and love. Legal prep (POA, DNR, hospice conversations) can coexist with bedside goodbyes, prayer from strangers, and community support.Micro-rituals matter. One hour of meditative movement a week, warm tea in the morning, skincare at night, and 20–60 minutes of reading improved sleep and calm.Follow your body’s signals. Trauma responses to certain opportunities were a clear “no.” Self-trust became the compass.Environment supports behavior. A reading nook, a workable office, and a backyard sun break make new routines possible.Reparenting in midlife is real. Oracle/gratitude cards, intention setting, and “do one thing that makes you happy” are small, powerful re-parenting acts.Keep moving your body. Future-you will thank you, especially if dance/mobility used to be second nature.This Episode is For:Anyone navigating stacked life transitions (job loss, grief, moves, milestone birthdays).High-achieving women shifting from employee to self-led/consulting.Listeners craving grounded routines (sleep, skin, movement, reading) to stabilize a tender season.Grievers who need both practical guidance and emotional permission.Creatives and professionals flirting with woo-curiosity (oracle cards, gentle ritual) without losing their edge.Mentioned In This Episode:Harney & Sons “Paris” Tea – Casey’s cozy morning go-to.Rodan + Fields Lash Serum – Gabby’s nightly lash routine that’s getting compliments.Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara – Gabby’s long-time fave.Oracle/Gratitude Cards – for daily intention pulls.Book: Year of Yes (Shonda Rhimes) – nonfiction rec.Book: The Woman I Wanted to Be (Diane von Furstenberg) – memoir rec.Book: Greenlights (Matthew McConaughey) – Casey’s nonfiction fave (great on audio).Book: The Four Agreements (Don Miguel Ruiz) – timeless mindset tool.Novel: The Lost Apothecary (Sarah Penner) – dual-timeline, women’s stories (sequel announced).Series: A Court of Thorns and Roses (Sarah J.

  • Gentle Is Powerful: Returning to Self After the Storm with Chris Dyer
    Jul 21 2025

    In this soul-stirring episode of The Mess and the Magic, I sit down with glitter powerhouse and truth-telling oracle, Chris Dyer: a woman who isn’t afraid to go deep, disrupt the norm, and drop wisdom like it’s gospel. From walking away from a “perfect” life that didn’t fit to reclaiming her emotional sovereignty, Chris shares what it really looks like to de-program from people-pleasing, perfectionism, and performance and finally come home to yourself.

    We talk about breaking free from invisible prisons, how love isn’t something to earn but something we are, and why the feminine path to leadership starts with radical rest and brutal honesty. Plus, we get into her upcoming children’s book rooted in Earth science and spiritual values, her journey off antidepressants, and the power of non-traditional relationships that support growth instead of suppress it.

    This is a deep breath of truth, a firelight in the dark, and a permission slip to live unboxed.


    Key Takeaways:

    • Emotional sobriety and healing aren’t about “fixing,” they’re about remembering who you are underneath the noise.

    • Rest and recovery aren’t luxuries. They’re liberation practices.

    • “Every day is training day.” Self-leadership starts with daily intention.

    • There is power in walking away - from relationships, roles, or rules that don’t honor your truth.

    • Authentic connection, especially between women, is the future of healing and leadership.

    • "Soulmate" isn't a title someone earns, it’s who you become for yourself first.

    • We are the healers, leaders, and creators we’ve been waiting for and the world needs us now more than ever.


      Who this episode is for:

    • The woman who’s done everything “right” and still feels wrong inside.

    • The recovering people-pleaser craving a deeper kind of peace.

    • The leader who’s tired of being strong and ready to be soft, seen, and supported.

    • The one in the middle of her own identity death and rebirth, wondering if she’s doing it right (you are).

    • Any soul who’s choosing curiosity over conformity and truth over tradition.
