When I was around 10 I was a little chubby and overweight. My mother, grandmother and stepfather said I should lose weight. It didn't really work. Now I'm older and I still a little overweight, but I don't look fat and they don't say that anymore. They never understood that everytime they said I was fat it hurt so much more than when someone else said it. Because of them my brother, stepbrothers and stepsister also started saying I was fat. While no one else said it. The doctor said I was overweight, but at school I was never bullied for being fat. Looking back, I see they actually bullied me. They didn't meant it like that, but they were bullying me for just being who I was. Ever since than I'm not confident and happy with my body anymore. That's also because at school I was bullied for being tall. The two things that stood out most about me (being tall and being chubby) were taught to me as being something bad. Something I should be ashamed of.

Oh my goodness the tablet seems so amazing, whenever I have to stay away from my house there's never wifi and I can't workout. That would be so useful! My choice would be instinct too. Instinct cannot be learned, but it so useful for any situation; foe example if I had a friend that could potentially hurt me or be detrimental to my life, I'd know straight away and could avoid that suffering. Although someotimes going through suffering is really good cause it makes you stronger and better in the end I've already been through a lot and learnt all I need to at this point in my life so I definitely want instinct- it may even help me save a life one day. However I'm 13 and although intellect would be very useful, I like working hard and I do every day and I'm happy being what I am as a result of trying my best. That's my answer xx

I know this a little too late and you proberbly won't see it but I might as well give it a go.
I would just like to say thank you, for real I cannot express how much this helped me, during the past 4-6 months I have gotten really deep down into depression and anxiety again, obviously I need therapy but the thing is that I am so scared of going to therapy and especially at night when I'm alone and able to overthink I get so scared that I'm afraid I might end up hurting myself again (former cutter (finally reached my 10 months cutfree milestone) and had one suicide attempt a year ago) but you just inspire me to get up and actually do something and oh my god it just saves me from all the overthinking and so on because exersice just makes me so happy that I just go to sleep with a smile on my face every day! So thank you!

Your video an personality helped me so much during my journey to lose weight. I used to play voleyball in high school 6 times a week for 2 hours, and I didn't even realize that i was working out because i truly enjoyed it so much. Unfortunately when uni came i couldn't keep up with it (that's kind of a negative side if you are doing teamsports, i think. Since than i couldn't find anything that I liked to do, because well running is not for me plus my joints can't really handle it. Only 2 workout types can I enjoy: fitnesblender's kikcbox videios (because i can relieve stress) and YOUR VIDEOS. When I started I couldn't really do all the moves properly but I do get better each time and yout positiv attitude and cheering just keeps me going, so I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH

Cassey, a similar thing happened to me when I was little that made me SO self-conscious. My cousin pointed out my double chin in my fourth grade yearbook photo. Then that same year my step-mom said I needed to work out so my legs wouldn't rub together. Looking back, I think it's CRAZY they were judging a little 9 year-old who was still growing and just about to hit puberty. My little brother is 8 and thinks he's fat. He told me he sucks in his stomach when he walks by a girl. It breaks my heart that kids are so critical of each other and themselves at such a young age. Thank you for what you do for body positivity. I want to do the same thing for the kids in my life and my students when I become a teacher.

YOUR DREAM MEANS:
Your dream means you feel like when you are exercising (you use your mat to exercise so the mat must symbolises exercise, most likely) you can do anything. The fact that the water/waves came and you stayed afloat shows that exercise has a positive impact on you. It has such a positive impact that it then turned into something more stable (like a raft) It has such a big impact that you went over a wave by using magic, so the fact that you saw your dad and you sank, must mean he had put you down (in life or something, or stopped you from doing exercise. (not individually, try compare these things to more bigger things that have happened in your life.
love you -

I think the reason why your friends are scared to work out with you is because they've seen your videos and know how strong you are. xD I honestly get scared to work out in public or by my friends that have been at it for a while because I know that I'm just not that strong YET. I've been working out and doing palates for about two months now, and I have a friend who has been doing a bit of running and palates for a couple months longer than me. It's intimidating, and I know it shouldn't be.
I guess I just need to learn to feel free to laugh at my failures and push forward no matter who I'm with. :)

How I got to stop eating junk food is that I thought it's just food and there is more important stuff than just eating sweets, like working out or helping out family or finding your inspiration and from then on I got really healthy but my mom thinks I'm young so I can eat all the junk food there is but I disagree because eating veggies and meat/protein is way better than junk food. And besides my body will thank me in the future for being healthy and giving my self the nutrition it needs.

Cassey, it's humbling that you say we're your inspiration because you yourself are so inspiring! I've been a POPster since 10th grade and I'm in my first year of uni now. I'm so thankful to you for keeping me on track. Whenever I feel like eating junk or not working out, your bubbly voice reminds me to eat clean and do some pilates. I've never given up because of how you've never given up. So happy I found your videos that faithful day 4 years ago. Love you, girl

Casey, you are such an inspiration for me! I am 12 years old and before anyone says that I'm being unhealthy, my goal is not to lose weight! I used to be completely inactive, I never got up and exercised, and I would get winded when I ran 20 feet. Now I can run up and down my stairs 20 times without taking a break, and I have so much more energy. After following your videos, I have gotten stronger, healthier and happier! Thank so so much Cassey!
