I dunno why but this video makes me so emotional #shorts #fashiondesigner #fashion #fashiondesign

Ugh. This was supposed to be a trend. Not make me emotional. But my eyes are hurting from the tears I’m trying to push back in.

This is my sketch book from 6th grade. I drew for fun when I wasnt doing homework, studying or playing tennis. I designed dresses for my Barbie’s, dance recitals, Halloween, and even my friend’s prom dress later on in high school. All I EVER wanted was to be a fashion designer.

My parents suppressed my dreams, in hopes of saving me from a risky career, but back then, it completely broke our relationship. I felt so lost, hollow, and purposeless. I had so much anger in my heart for them.

I ended up sabotaging myself so I couldn’t take the MCAT, but still graduated with a degree in Biology, lived a short life in corporate fashion, took random Craigslist jobs, was an eBayer for a sec, taught Pilates on YouTube (while they were constantly asking “when are going back to school?”), and now…

*sigh*

I’m just so grateful. I can’t believe I’m getting to live little Cassey’s dream.

The fact that even from such a young age you've already set your goal on something earns my respect

You are my inspiration, Cassie. I did the 200 ab challenge, and almost screamed when I saw my results. But it wasn’t just my physical results it was my emotional results. I was so much more confident! You held my hand, helping past my insecurities, and strengthening me to be the best version of me I could be. You care about your supporters, keeping actually effective plans FREE. I am forever grateful to you. Thank you again for all that you have done and all you continue to do! 💗

[lilysanders]

I have been drawing for years and your old designs are still 10× better than mine 😭✋

[baileyahahahaha]

The thing I love most is that she doesn’t leave out extra sizes and makes sure to try out something on anyone no matter what shape or size ♥️♥️

Omg I just read an article about you on Apple news!! I was like “I FOLLOW HER! I KNOW HER!” 🤣🤣 it was nicely written & I really like how they specify that ur stuff churns out REAL results w the least amount of fuss possible! (Weightless arm workout)
