"I decided I was ok to be the poster child for mental illness if it would help others feel ok about themselves."
"A goal in my life is to be more holy. I try to weed out things in my life that keep me from being in tune with God."
Cassidy is REAL and RAW as she discusses her own struggles with mental illness, and how it has blessed her as she is parenting children who struggle with mental illness as well. From a discussion on supporting your kids, to therapy to her thoughts on medicating. She also discusses feelings of inferiority as she wasn't parenting how her mom did, and how she learned to be OK with being different.
There were tears shed, and I left with a feeling of gratitude for her sharing her heart so that I can better understand those with mental illness.
She gave up professionally performing to raise her family in the way she felt was best, even amidst disappointment from musical coaches. I'm delighted she was willing to sing a snippet at the beginning and end so that you can hear a piece of her amazing voice.
She shares a sweet personal experience that she falls back on when times are tough, and where she finds strength, and how God has answered her prayers on how to help her raise her family.
