Hey Sista! We’re honored and grateful to have you here today. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us. To begin, could you introduce yourself to our readers and share a bit about the work you do?

Hello! I’m Cassandra Bailey—a mom of five, a grandmother of six, a licensed Minister, and a Realtor. I’m also the CAO of Response4OurCommunity LLC, a community program, and the founder of Beauty Within, a mentoring initiative for girls. On top of that, I serve as an intensive preventative caseworker by day. As you can see, I wear many hats, but my passion always comes back to helping and uplifting others.

That’s fantastic! With the new year underway, many of us are setting intentions for personal and professional growth. What changes are you embracing in 2025, and how are you planning to make this year a success?

Change starts with a single thought—if you think it, you can bring it to life! My advice is to first identify the changes you want or need, and then start working on them. As the Bible says, “Faith without works is dead,” so it’s not enough just to believe. You also have to take action, no matter how challenging things might get or how many hurdles you face along the way.

Many of us have to release old habits or fears to make room for the new. What beliefs or patterns have you worked to let go of, and how are you replacing them with practices that support your goals and intentions?

I’m learning to say “no” to things that drain me—especially when people expect too much and aren’t willing to reciprocate. I’m making an effort to show up for myself, even if it means doing something as simple as relaxing and watching a movie. It’s about being intentional with my time and energy, ensuring I’m in a place to give my best to the people and projects that truly matter.

Staying motivated as you pursue big goals can be tough. How do you keep yourself focused and on track?

Prioritizing! It’s made such a difference in my life. When I know what’s truly important and focus on those areas first, I’m less overwhelmed. It feels great to see that I’m accomplishing what I’ve set out to do, and that sense of progress keeps me going.

“It feels great to see that I’m accomplishing what I’ve set out to do, and that sense of progress keeps me going.”

Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s often a catalyst for growth. Can you share a time when embracing change led to a significant breakthrough in your personal or professional life?

Learning self-love was a huge breakthrough for me. I spent much of my life believing my purpose was just to love and help others. While that’s important, I realized I was neglecting myself. One day, I found myself asking, “Lord, when will it be my turn?” That was the moment things started shifting. I realized I need and deserve the same care and compassion I offer everyone else. It was hard at first—I even prayed for guidance on how to love myself the way God loves me—but it ended up being one of the most transformative decisions of my life.

That was beautifully said. Before we wrap up, do you have any special projects coming up? How can people connect with you?

Absolutely! I’m excited to announce the release of my very own Gratitude Journal, “Metamorphosis = Complete.” For updates, you can reach out through social media or contact me directly via my organization, Response4OurCommunity. I’m always looking forward to connecting, collaborating, and sharing in the journey of growth and empowerment.

Thank you for sharing your story and wisdom, Cassandra. We appreciate your openness and are thrilled to see the incredible things you’ll accomplish this year!
