The Dream You Were Told to Give Up with Cassandra Wilcox
from Broken to Brave | Guiding you to heal & break free from anxiety · host Dr. Stephanie Lopez
When you were a kid, you probably knew exactly what you wanted to be. And then somewhere along the way, someone told you it wasn't realistic. It wouldn't make money. It wasn't a real job. So you found something more responsible, and the wanting quietly went somewhere you couldn't see it.In this episode, I sit down with Cassandra Wilcox, who spent fifteen years building a tech career while carrying the belief that there was no future in art. We get into what happened when she stopped clinging to the things that weren't right for her out of fear that nothing else was coming, and what it felt like to finally let herself want the thing she wanted at four years old. It's also an honest look at the part nobody really talks about, the grief that shows up when you let go, and how strange it can feel to start receiving good things right when you finally make room for them.In this episode, we cover:Why we cling to what isn't right for us when we're scared nothing else will come.What it looks like to come back to something you wanted long before you were told it wasn't realistic.Why letting good things in can feel as hard as letting other things go.Connect with Cassandra:Website: https://www.cassandrawilcoxart.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/casswilcoxart/ | https://www.instagram.com/cassandrawilcoxmusic/You can purchase prints on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CassWilcoxArt or reach out for commissions on her website.Interested in learning more about attending BRAVE-cation?
