Tired but not unwell. Eating properly but never quite feeling it. Nothing a test would flag, but nothing that feels right either. If you've ever tried to explain that to someone and come up short, this one is for you.

In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie steps out from behind the mic and shares the story that started it all. From long, salty childhood summers on the Cronulla coast to the Groupon deal that accidentally rewrote her entire career, this is the woman behind In With Cassie in her own words.

She talks about the years spent circling healthcare without quite finding her place, the appointment that changed everything, and what it actually felt like to be in that in-between space where you're not sick, but you're not well either. She also opens up about motherhood, identity, and what a real morning looks like in her house.

In this episode:

• Why coastal childhood summers shaped what Cassie values most now, space, slowness, and community
• The healthcare paths she tried first, and why nursing and psychology didn't fit
• The Groupon naturopath appointment in her early twenties that changed her direction entirely
• What "not sick but not well" actually feels like, and why it deserves attention
• Studying at Endeavour College of Natural Health and later working alongside the practitioner who inspired her
• Motherhood as the most beautiful, stretching, identity-shifting experience of her life
• Why she wanted the marriage more than the wedding
• Cassie's real morning rhythm, from co-sleeping and 5.30am wake-ups to kitchen dance parties and banana oat pancakes

You're not hungry until you're ravenous. You're not tired until you're completely depleted. If that sounds familiar, your body has probably been sending you messages for a long time and you've been overriding them.

In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie revisits her conversation with Melissa Lever from Body Intuition Collective. Melissa is a physiotherapist with 20 years of experience, a Pilates instructor, clinic owner and mum of three, and her work brings together physiotherapy and interoception, the sense that tells you what's actually happening inside your body.

Listen to the full conversation

This episode looks at what happens when women spend years putting their own signals last. Why hormonal transitions like puberty, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause make those signals harder to read. Why the push through that worked in your twenties and thirties stops working. And what it actually costs when you keep going anyway.

Melissa also shares three simple questions you can ask yourself in under two minutes to start rebuilding that connection, no meditation practice required.

In this episode:

Why hormones and interoception are so closely linked, and what changes through perimenopause

Why louder body signals don't mean your body is failing

How motherhood shifts your awareness away from yourself and onto everyone else

What happens when you teach your brain you'll only listen at the extreme

Why eating in the first hour of waking is less about the meal and more about the message

The real cost of pushing through a deadline, and whether you can rebuild trust afterwards

Are you constantly consumed by all of "The Shoulds" ?

In this week's Sunday's Best Bits, Cassie unpacks the running commentary most mothers don't even notice they're having with themselves, and the small language shift that changes it. Not a mindset overhaul. Just catching the word "should" as it leaves your mouth and swapping it for "could."

She also shares four practical nervous system tools you can use in the middle of a morning that has already gone sideways, because before you can co-regulate with anyone else, whether that's your partner, your parents or your kids, you have to be regulated yourself.

Links to the full episode featured here are in the show notes below.

This is the reminder you might need before the week starts.

In this episode:

• Why we're so good at listing everything that went wrong and so bad at naming one thing that went right
• The should to could reframe, and how to choose what feels kindest instead
• The best friend test: what you'd say to her if she called you about the cucumbers, and why you'd never say that to yourself
• Box breathing, and why a longer exhale matters
• The five, four, three, two, one sensory grounding technique for the mornings that fall apart
• Why standing with your back against a wall can help settle an overloaded system
• Micro pauses, and how to map the moments in your day that consistently feel hard

If someone came to mind while you were listening, send it to her. It might be exactly what she needs to hear.
