Cass Uk: Prevention Is the Most Powerful Strategy Nobody Talks About

Join Leslie Gaudet and Cass Uk, award-winning entrepreneur, former NHS Registered Nurse, author, speaker, and Founder and CEO of Tolicious, for a bold and deeply personal conversation about what it truly takes to build a purpose-driven life and business without burning yourself out in the process.  Cass's journey is anything but ordinary. After years working as a registered nurse across Nigeria, Dominica, and the UK, she survived a life-threatening postpartum recovery, left the security of her nursing career, and built Tolicious from the ground up while working full time — eventually becoming the first Black female founder to secure Spark Funding through the North East Accelerator Programme. Her mission is clear: self-care is not selfish. It’s survival.  In this episode, Cass opens up about what she witnessed in her nursing career that made prevention feel urgent rather than optional, what surviving a life-threatening postpartum experience revealed to her about her body and her purpose, and what it truly required of her to leave a secure career and build something meaningful from scratch. You’ll also hear why she believes every woman needs to stop waiting for permission and start claiming the life she actually wants.   If you have been building something extraordinary while quietly running on empty — this conversation is going to speak directly to you.  ******************************************************************** Connect with me: https://linktr.ee/herextraordinarylifebydesign [email protected]  ******************************************************************** Monthly Gathering: I built the space — a place where women can show up without the filter, without the performance, and without wondering whether being seen is going to cost them something. No faces. No names. No titles. Just voices and honest conversation. We have already held our first gathering and it was exactly what I hoped it would be. If you want to join us for the next one, send me an email with the words "I'm in for Monthly Gathering" and I will make sure you are on the list.
