GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION TO BE PLAYFUL.
THAT IS THE KEY LESSON KASSANDRA OFFERS
Kassandra offers a new perspective: seriousness is the enemy of progress.
We live in an age where every hobby can become an income stream, every activity needs to be productive, and every moment not spent working is wasted.
Like so many others, Kassandra became weighed down by guilt. She compared herself to the success of her peers, and asked herself - why am I not achieving my full potential?
But through her life’s struggle to overcome adversity, she discovered something:
We can be diligent, committed and purposeful in our approach to any task, but the moment we take it too seriously, we have a problem.
Kassandra believes a playful approach to life is a radical form of resistance to a culture that values productivity above all else.
