In this episode of The Transform Your Life Podcast, I’m unpacking one of the sneakiest forces that keeps people stuck without even realizing it: secondary gain. This invisible pattern is often running in the background of your life, quietly meeting an unspoken need while sabotaging your progress toward your goals.
I share real-life stories from my own experience, my home organizing clients, and my NLP practice to show you exactly how to spot it—and most importantly—how to clear it. Once you see it, you can never unsee it, and the changes you can make are profound.
This episode is for you if:
You feel like you’re doing all the right things but still sabotage your progress.
You want to understand the deeper reasons you hold onto habits, clutter, or situations that don’t serve you.
You’ve tried to change before, but something always pulls you back to old patterns.
Topics we dive into:
What secondary gain is and why it’s such a powerful (and sneaky) force.
Real-life examples—from keeping clutter to staying in jobs, relationships, or habits that feel “safe.”
How secondary gain ties into identity, safety, comfort, and connection.
The exact questions you can ask yourself to uncover your own hidden payoffs.
How NLP helps rewire your subconscious so you can meet your needs without clinging to the problem.
If you’re ready to uncover the hidden reasons you’re stuck and finally break free, I’m offering free 30-minute Clarity Breakthrough Sessions. In our call, we’ll pinpoint your secondary gain and create a plan to move forward.
And if you loved this episode, please share it with a friend who might need to hear this today, and come hang out with me on Instagram @_casshenry.
In this episode of The Transform Your Life Podcast, Cass pulls back the curtain on what really happens in her breakthrough sessions—and why they work when surface-level motivation and positive thinking fall short. She explains how your subconscious programming (most of it created before the age of 8) silently drives 95% of your daily thoughts, feelings, and actions, and how powerful techniques like NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and QTT (Quantum Time Technique) can rewire these patterns for good. You’ll hear real-life examples, easy-to-visualize analogies, and a simple self-awareness exercise you can try today.
This Episode Is For You If…
You feel like you sabotage yourself or keep hitting the same wall over and over again.
You’ve tried affirmations and mindset shifts, but nothing seems to stick long-term.
You start strong on new goals but lose momentum after a few days.
You’re tired of feeling stuck and want to understand why change feels so hard.
You’re ready to dig into the deeper work that transforms your beliefs, identity, and results.
Topics We Dive Into
Why positive thinking alone often fails to create lasting change.
How beliefs are formed in childhood and how they quietly shape your entire life.
The difference between conscious and subconscious change—and why 95% of transformation work must happen below the surface.
How NLP and QTT work to clear limiting beliefs and rewire your nervous system without reliving old trauma.
Real-world examples of sabotage patterns and how to shift them.
If you’re ready to go beyond surface-level mindset work and actually shift the beliefs running your life, book your free 30-minute clarity breakthrough session with Cass. In this call, you’ll uncover what’s really in the way of your goals and leave with powerful insights to break the cycle for good.

You created the vision board. You felt the excitement. You believed in the possibilities.
…But nothing’s happening. Or worse — you feel stuck, overwhelmed, and like maybe you’re the problem.
You’re not.
In this episode, I reveal the #1 missing piece behind why so many women struggle to manifest their vision — and exactly what to do instead.
I share my story of transformation, the truth about subconscious resistance, and how manifestation actually works when you integrate nervous system regulation, self-trust, and surrender.
This episode is for you if:
✔️ You’ve created vision boards in the past, but they haven’t come true
✔️ You feel like you’ve “tried everything” but still feel stuck in fear, self-doubt, or sabotage
✔️ You want to manifest your desires — but something always seems to block or delay them
✔️ You’re ready to understand the real reason your vision hasn’t landed (and how to shift it fast)
✔️ You’ve been drifting in life and crave clarity, direction, and deep emotional freedom
Inside this episode, we dive into:
The real reason traditional vision boards don’t work
What it means when you’re stuck in patterns of sabotage or procrastination
How your nervous system and subconscious beliefs can block your manifestations
Why surrender is the most important part of your manifestation method
How my rock-bottom moment led her to discover the power of intuition, visioning, and aligned action
Tangible ways to rewire your beliefs and finally receive what you’ve asked for

Now it’s your turn to meet her.
In this episode of The Transform Your Life Podcast, Cass gets real about manifestation—what it actually is, how it works, and why most people get stuck before they ever get started. Whether you’re manifesting more money, love, clients, health, or clarity, this conversation will show you how to train your brain and body to feel safe receiving more without burning out or falling into toxic positivity.
This isn’t just about vision boards (though she loves those too). You’ll learn how to manifest from a grounded, empowered place by working with your nervous system, subconscious mind, and the universe—plus a fun game to prove how powerful your mind really is (hint: it involves penguins 🐧).
This episode is for you if:
You’ve struggled to manifest what you want and wonder if it’s “just not working”
You feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure where to start
You want to learn how to co-create with the universe without gripping so tightly
You’ve ever said “I want more” but felt blocked, guilty, or unworthy of receiving it
What We Dive Into:
Why starting small rewires your subconscious and builds self-trust
The real reason you haven’t been able to manifest more (and how to fix it)
How to anchor powerful emotions into your body (Cass teaches you how!)
The difference between manifesting from the feeling vs. the fix
Why your nervous system needs to feel safe to receive what you’re asking for
The language traps that keep you stuck in the same cycles
What self-sabotage really is (and how to stop pushing away what you want)
A fun challenge to prove to yourself how powerful your mind is (hello, penguins 🐧)
Why clarity + surrender = pure magnetism

In this powerful episode of The Transform Your Life Podcast, I sit down with consulting hypnotist, NLP practitioner, and founder of Aligned Natural Health, Kate McDowell. After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at just 22 years old, Kate followed the traditional medical route—until it stopped working. What followed was a profound personal transformation that led her to explore nutrition, mindset work, and subconscious reprogramming.
Together, we unpack what it really means to be at cause in your life and how emotional and energetic blocks often manifest physically. Whether you're facing chronic illness, emotional burnout, or feeling stuck in your body, Kate’s story offers an incredible example of what’s possible when you take back your power.

✔️ You’re looking for a natural, holistic way to feel better in your body and regain energy
✔️ You’re open to tools like NLP, hypnosis, and mindset work to support your healing journey
Topics We Dive Into

The exact moment that sparked her mindset shift and changed everything

The connection between autoimmune conditions and people-pleasing patterns
How trapped emotions and unconscious beliefs affect the body
Understanding cause vs. effect (and how to take your power back)

Why You’re Still Stuck (Even After Decluttering): The Full-Life Reset for ADHD & HSP Women
EPISODE OVERVIEW
If you’ve ever deep-cleaned your space hoping it would fix everything — only to find yourself overwhelmed again a few days later — this episode is for you.
Cass is breaking down the deeper truth behind clutter: it’s not just the stuff in your home. It’s what’s going on inside your mind, body, and nervous system. And if you’re an ADHD or HSP woman, that clutter hits differently — and requires a different approach.
In today’s episode, Cass shares the 3-part framework behind her upcoming Full-Life Reset webinar and why decluttering your life from the inside out is the most important thing you can do if you want to finally feel clear, calm, and back in control.
💡 This episode is for you if…
✔️ You feel overwhelmed by your home, your schedule, your emotions — or all of it
✔️ You declutter your space, but the clutter always comes back
✔️ You struggle with ADHD or identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)
✔️ You’re stuck in cycles of burnout, overfunctioning, or self-abandonment
✔️ You crave peace but don’t know where to start
🔍 Inside this episode, we dive into:
• The real reason decluttering your house hasn’t changed your life (yet)
• The invisible clutter most ADHD & HSP women are carrying
• What it’s actually costing you to stay stuck in chaos
• Why organizing isn’t enough — and what you actually need instead
• A sneak peek into the Full-Life Reset framework Cass is teaching this Sunday
• How to join the June Full-Life Declutter Challenge inside The Inner Circle

This episode of The Transform Your Life Podcast unpacks the sneaky ways resentment—towards others and ourselves—keeps us stuck, stressed, and disconnected from our own peace. Cass walks you through why resentment isn’t what you think it is, how it forms in the mind using NLP concepts, and how you can start releasing it using powerful tools and mindset shifts. If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I should be over this by now,” this episode is for you.
✨ This episode is for you if:
You feel stuck in anger, blame, or shame (even if you’ve tried to “let it go”)
You constantly replay situations or arguments in your head
You’re harder on yourself than you’d ever be on anyone else
You feel like you’re doing “everything right” but still aren’t at peace
In this episode, we dive into:
What resentment really is (and what it’s not)
Why resentment forms from the mental “boxes” we put people in
The hidden toll of self-resentment: guilt, shame, and perfectionism
How to use NLP tools to reframe, rewrite, and release resentment
A step-by-step visualization you can try today to shift resentment in minutes
What you gain when you finally let resentment go—peace, power, presence
A powerful story of forgiveness between Cass and her younger self
Why releasing resentment doesn’t mean excusing behavior—it means freeing yourself
If this resonated, join us inside The Inner Circle—Cass’s powerful community for neurodivergent women (ADHD & HSP) committed to self-trust, personal healing, and cycle-breaking. We meet tonight (Thursday, May 22nd) and you don’t want to miss this live call on releasing limiting beliefs and rewriting your story (replays always available).
In this episode of the Transform Your Life Podcast, I dive deep into the unique challenges and hidden strengths of being both ADHD and HSP.
If you’ve ever felt like your energy and sensitivity make you “too much” for others, struggled to follow typical productivity routines, or wondered how to turn your ADHD or HSP traits into superpowers, this episode is for you.
I share personal stories about my journey to understanding my neurodivergent brain, how I stopped fighting my natural rhythm, and why finding a supportive community changed everything.
Plus, I break down three practical steps to help you embrace your unique wiring, work with your natural flow, and connect with others who truly get you.
This episode is for you if:
You’ve ever felt overstimulated, overwhelmed, or isolated because of your brain

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Samantha Silverman, a 9/11 survivor, licensed clinical social worker, founder of Silver Linings Mental Health, and author of Silver Linings: From Surviving to Thriving After 9/11.

What post-traumatic growth actually looks like in real life
How unprocessed trauma can show up as short tempers, reactivity, anxiety, and burnout

In This Episode You’ll Hear 🎧
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even recognize myself anymore,” this raw solo episode is your lifeline back home. I peel back the curtain on the silent breakdown that almost fully broke me—addiction, depression, toxic love—and I share the small, quiet decision that sparked a full‑blown comeback. I also talk about The Comeback Guide (a totally free download) and explain how my new membership, The Inner Circle, gives you the community‑powered support to stay on track.
Key Takeaways
You’re allowed to begin again—today. Your past cycles don’t define your future comeback.
Small promises build unshakable self‑trust. Tiny wins > massive, unsustainable overhauls.
Visibility breeds accountability. When your kids, friends, or community watch you choose yourself, you model healthy cycles for the next generation.
Healing happens in four repeatable phases. Cass walks you through each one so you know where you are and what’s next.

In this episode of the Transform Your Life Podcast, I sit down with Melanie—a therapist, mindfulness coach, and mom—who shares her powerful journey from chronic stress and burnout to surrender, healing, and helping other overwhelmed moms do the same.
Melanie opens up about the breaking point that landed her on the couch—literally—and how that moment of surrender became the catalyst for everything to change. From caring for a toddler during the pandemic while supporting her partner through mental health struggles, to navigating full-time work and the mental load of motherhood, Melanie’s story is a mirror for so many women silently carrying too much.
This episode is for you if:✔️ You’re a mom stuck in survival mode
✔️ You’ve ever felt burnout, chronic pain, or overwhelm
✔️ You’re craving more joy, presence, and connection in your life
✔️ You’re tired of trying to do it all and are ready for a new way
Cass and Melanie dive into:✨ The signs your body and intuition give before full burnout
✨ Why chronic pain and illness often stem from suppressed emotions
✨ Simple, free rituals and tools that calm the nervous system
✨ How to reconnect with joy through awareness, presence, and community
✨ Why self-care is not a luxury—it's survival
Whether you’re folding laundry with toddlers at your feet or listening on your daily walk, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, supported, and inspired to take your next small step toward reclaiming your energy and joy.

You’re healing generations.

“I want to do it differently…”
This episode is your reminder—you’re already doing the work just by being aware.
In this soul-led episode, I’m diving into:
✨ What it really means to be a cycle breaker
✨ Why so many moms feel stuck in survival (and how to shift out of it)
✨ The invisible weight you're carrying—and how to finally release it

Welcome to Part 2 of our special 3-Part NLP Training Series with Surinder Gill! In this powerful session, we explore how aligning your internal values can make achieving your goals feel effortless—and why misaligned values might be the real reason you’re feeling stuck, self-sabotaging, or overwhelmed.
Surinder, an NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, breaks down how your unconscious mind prioritizes values and how to shift them so they support your goals instead of blocking them.
You’ll learn:
✔️ Why values are the drivers behind all your decisions
✔️ How misaligned values create inner conflict and sabotage
✔️ A powerful NLP technique to uncover and realign your values
✔️ How to use language and intention to reprogram your unconscious priorities
✔️ Why your highest value must match your biggest goal (or it won’t happen!)
✔️ Real-life examples of what happens when values are out of whack—and how to fix it
