Halfway There: A Mid-Year Goal Check, Summer Book Stack, and Brain Hack

We’re halfway through the year—and it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and realign. In this solo check-in, Dr. Cassandre shares where she is with her 2025 goals, what she’s been reading for fun (no self-help in sight!), and how a guided meditation challenge is helping her unlearn toxic habits and visualize her next chapter—with science to back it up.

She also shares a few things on her radar, including the Insight Timer app, a powerful 7-day meditation series by Justin Michael Williams, the joy of writing on Substack, and the underrated beauty of slow foods. 

In this episode, we discussed:

• A transparent look at Be Well, Sis’ mid-year goals + where we stand
• Books on her summer reading list: Happy Land, Matriarch by Tina Knowles, Love Radio
• The Insight Timer app + 7-Day “Stop Holding Yourself Back” meditation challenge
• The power of visualization
• What “slow foods” are teaching her about mindfulness
• A listener DM that came right on time
• A “Not Well, Sis” letter about choosing to live child-free
