What does it truly mean to be a survivor?
In this deeply personal episode of Dear Cassie, Antionette reflects on the life of her mother, Cassandra “Cassie” Spain—a woman whose strength was shaped by hardship, loss, illness, and an unwavering determination to keep going.
From becoming a young mother to battling lupus and facing unimaginable challenges, Cassie’s story is one of resilience. But her greatest legacy wasn’t simply that she survived—it was the strength she passed on to her children.
Through memories, grief, and reflection, Antionette shares how her mother’s survival became the foundation for her own journey after losing her at just ten years old. This episode is a tribute to the women who fight, the children they leave behind, and the enduring legacy of love and resilience that lives on through generations.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going after loss, this conversation is for you.
Because survivors raise survivors.
