The Scrumptious Woman

S2 EP22 The Cost of Being Real: Power, Truth, and Staying When You’re Being Called Out with Cassie Howard

Juliette Karaman Season 2 Episode 22

Welcome

Hello, lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I’m joined by the unapologetically real Cassie Howard.

We speak about staying with yourself, authenticity without performance, and the power of being called out with love. We touch polarity, mentorship, and what happens when you stop pretending in spaces that reward sameness.

This is about holding your ground and letting success and intimacy meet the real you.

Let yourself feel what lands as you listen.


Episode Summary 

In this episode, Cassie and I speak about staying with yourself when being real costs approval, authenticity without masks, the subtle ways self abandonment shows up in business and mentorship, and the moment you choose truth over being liked, touching on polarity, nervous system safety, energetic sovereignty, and the power that returns when you stop managing yourself and let yourself be known, an invitation back to your center, your lived truth, and the part of you that refuses to perform.


Key Takeaways 

Staying Rooted Changes Everything

The moment you stop bending to be chosen, your system settles. Love, work, and intimacy no longer pull you off course.


Authenticity Is Felt, Not Framed

It isn’t a character or a tone of voice. It’s the signal you live from. Others sense it immediately.


Grief Has Intelligence

When you let it move without explanation or self management, the body recalibrates around what’s true.


Self Abandonment Rarely Shouts

It whispers through politeness, restraint, and the habit of making yourself easier to hold.


Safety Emerges From Presence

Not from control or technique, but from staying honest when the edge appears.


Your Center Is Where Power Waits

When you return there, instead of reaching outward, life meets you without demand.
