Omg last night I did not end up in a food coma! Ve

Omg last night I did not end up in a food coma! Very proud of myself! 😅 No seriously…I usually end up so drowsy after thanksgiving dinner that I’m either napping on the host’s couch or knocking out and drooling on the way home in the car.

Anyway! It’s Black Friday and it’s time to shop. If you’ve been waiting to try @popflex_active now is the time. Since starting POPFLEX in 2016, the quality, the the fabric, and the fit have never stopped improving so if it’s been a while, I encourage you to test out my newest designs! I’m very proud of where we are now and can’t wait for you to see what I have planned up ahead.

Oh, and speaking of proud.

For the record, I am very proud to be a minority woman, born from 2 immigrant parents, running a business in this country. It is not lost on me where I come from and the opportunities I’ve been given to succeed. Of course I’m grateful for this life. How dare some people say I’m not???

I cannot believe my eyes reading some of the comments on my last post. Sympathy for one does not mean hate for another. And those saying that they were gonna support @popflex_active this Black Friday but will now take their $ elsewhere…please do. I don’t know what narrative you’re trying to paint of me but I’ll be here living my truth and keeping my mind open because that’s called growing.

K, going to go work out then shop some more now because I need to get this nasty feeling out of my body.

♥️Cassey

Ps: I’m wearing the captivate bra and ultimate hourglass leggings in mocha, and the black dad cap. That’s the 64 Oz black starry bottle. My shrug is an old POPFLEX design from a few years ago! Should I bring shrugs back?

This year, I decided to break tradition. As some

This year, I decided to break tradition.

As some of you know, I’m super into my history podcasts and shows…and a few months ago I started getting into the lives of the initial Europeans in America. Started learning about Jamestown and the many horrors both the settlers and the Native Americans experienced. *sigh* Growing up you believe everything you learn in school. But now I know - history is written by the winner of the war, the oppressor, usually, the white man. You don’t get the whole story. You only get the story that will make the one in power look good.

To add to my disappointment, Thanksgiving morning I wake up and see a TikTok of a Native American man explaining that the written “history” of the first Thanksgiving is actually a myth. *bigger sigh*

You know, social media always gets a bad rap, but this year, besides being grateful for the usual (@samlivits, @sirgeorgethemagnificent, my team, my journey, my career, you guys) I’m actually so grateful for social media. It gives those without a voice an equal platform to share their truth. Those who don’t meet societal standards of beauty or whatever, have a chance to rise and be heard.

As my own mini “rebellion” against the myth I’ve been told my whole life, I also decided to do something I’ve never done before: I had my first meatless Thanksgiving. I know it’s just a tiny thing, but I wanted to physically break tradition for myself in a memorable way. Tonight was the first time in my 3 decades of Thanksgivings, that I didn’t eat the turkey.

I can’t quite describe why I’m feeling this - but today marks a shift in me. Something’s happening and I can’t quite explain where it will lead me, but it’s strong, and I’m letting it guide me.

Anyway! Still had a lovely evening with family and lots of delicious food! I feel fulfilled in a deeper way this year, and I’m grateful (and excited) for this pull.

How was your Thanksgiving?

♥️Cassey

PS: This post is my personal diary entry for the day and has nothing to do with encouraging you to eat a certain way and it is definitely not meant to shame anyone for celebrating Thanksgiving. Let’s just keep an open mind and let’s not fear change.

My tennis story. This weekend I watched King Rich

My tennis story.

This weekend I watched King Richard, the true story about @venuswilliams and @serenawilliams dad and their family’s rise from nothing to tennis royalty. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I kept waking up, emotions swirling inside me. I felt uneasy. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me.

You see, I started playing tennis when I was 6. My dad coached me all the way until I made varsity my freshman year and earned my title as team captain for the next 3 years. That’s what you see on the resume. What you don’t see are all the tears I cried on the courts.

I hated tennis so much. I hated the game. I hated competing. I hated having to win. I hated losing. I hated my dad for yelling at me constantly. But mostly, I hated myself.

I hated that I was never good enough. And I believed that. I believed it so much that I let it tamper with my game, cripple my confidence, and eventually, that hatred manifested itself into a wrist injury that ended my tennis career. 17 years later, I still massage my right forearm every night to help ease the dull pounding.

Watching King Richard made me sad because it opened my eyes to my dad’s intentions. He only wanted to give me the gift of being good at something. Yes, he was hard on me. But I was even harder on myself. My perfectionism took it to another level that sucked the joy out of the game. It stunted my growth as a player because I didn’t allow myself to take chances. I never had fun because I put all my energy into my fear of losing. I was so careful, it crippled me.

I look back at tennis and see a girl doing something the best she could at something she didn’t love. And you know what? That’s all I could give. I couldn’t be truly great at something I had no passion for.

Your body will not let you work day and night on something that breeds fear. But it will allow you to open yourself completely to the things that bring you joy. I am so grateful to have found that eventually with Pilates and design. When you find the thing you’re meant to do, you’ll know, because it’ll feel like flying.

Watching Venus and Serena find their wings was so inspirational. You need to go watch King Richard. So good.

Life update: you’ll wanna read this one. So lif

Life update: you’ll wanna read this one.

So life has been…a lot. My big tidal wave nightmares are back. The waves toss me but I don’t die, so at least that’s promising.

💻Work update: Lots of growth with @popflex_active, which also means new stressors, new problems, and lack of sleep. I’m looking at the future and I know where I wanna be, but I know there’s a lot to do to get there. The steps are not unclear, but the steps are many, so I’m prepping for the long journey ahead. I’m filled with excitement because this feels like the first time our team is truly walking in step towards a common vision. We just need more help. Need to find the right talent to bring on board. It’s the hardest part about running a business.

👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼Personal update: So remember how I told you about my having a baby concern? Well, a decision has been made. @samlivits and I are officially trying. When it came down to it, I was kinda 50/50 and Sam was 100, so it made sense to lean towards yes instead of no especially 1) I wasn’t opposed to it and 2) Sam was all about it. So far no luck but my mom dealt with infertility issues so I wouldn’t be surprised if that becomes my story too.

That zucchini pancake recipe I screenshotted is an original recipe from Sam’s grandma who sadly passed away a few years ago. I decided to go into my old email from 2010 to look for that recipe because we are experiencing a death in Sam’s family, and I know that food from his childhood brings him a little comfort, kinda like a hug from the past.

Anyway, it got me thinking about who I would pass down my recipes to? Kind of a weird thought to think about when you die and what mark you’ll leave on this world. What genes you’ll leave in this world.

Look, I’m still scared. Like really scared of this whole baby process thing, but I plan on keeping you updated because the journey and the new, female experience itself does excite me. The baby - to be honest - I’ll tell you how I feel once things start happening.

In the mean time, gotta go do the dishes and compost the dead flowers. My work life imbalance is showing again 😅

I’m doing a pre Black Friday sale because holiday shopping this year is gonna be unpredictable, slow, and problematic. The entire supply chain is messed up right now and every business is affected (and has been affected since the start of the pandemic) from big to small. I thought it’d be better by now but actually, it’s worse. Everything’s backed up and my launch calendar is 🌪

Anyway, for those of you who have never tried @popflex_active, I ask that you give me a chance. One of the big reasons why I design things is because I can’t find what I want. So I’m left with no choice but to make it myself! These products are my babies and I pour my ❤️ into each one - learning, improving and having so much fun as I birth each new design into the world. But the best part is…when I see you using it. My soul fills up with happiness. This isn’t just a cute fitness business. @popflex_active is about me sharing my joy with you.

And thank you to everyone who’s given @popflex_active a chance. Thank you for supporting. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for believing in me.

Now…HAPPY SHOPPING!!!! Go hard and save money!!! Whooo!!!
