Summary
Cass Dimicco is a content creator and founder of fashion and accessories brand, Aureum Collective.In this episode, she opens up about navigating endometriosis, undergoing surgery and the emotional shift from not wanting kids to trying to conceive. We talk about why women’s health issues are often minimized, the pressure of comparing timelines and what it's really like trying to trust the timing of your own life—even when you don’t have it all figured out.
We also go behind the curtain of content creation: snark pages, online hate, building a brand in public, plus her best styling tips, fashion icks, and hair health secrets. This is a completely unfiltered, honest conversation about the truth behind the perfect feeds you see on social media.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:05.8 | This is Well, a podcast about wellness in all its forms. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Ariel Laurie, and each week I'm sharing unfiltered conversations with people shaping how we feel, live, and look. |
| 0:17.2 | Come for the substance, stay for the honesty, and leave with the tools to be well, inside and out. |
| 0:25.7 | Every now and then, I like to take a break from the doctors and the trainers and the professionals and experts and just have one of those conversations that feels like the group chat voice memo that |
| 0:40.4 | we all need. And that's exactly what today's conversation is. It's just a really refreshingly |
| 0:46.8 | honest conversation with my guest, Castamiko. She is a content creator and founder of Oriam Collective |
| 0:53.2 | about what is really going on behind |
| 0:55.1 | these seemingly perfect Instagram feeds. So we are talking about dealing with hormone and |
| 1:01.1 | reproductive health stuff. Cass has been very open about her endometriosis and now trying to conceive. |
| 1:08.2 | And we talk about what happens when your timeline is not exactly what |
| 1:13.0 | you thought it would be. And life just doesn't really look the way that you thought that it would |

| 1:21.7 | We also get into comparison and watching other people's seemingly perfect relationships online and just trusting the |
| 1:30.1 | timing of your life, even when it feels confusing or late or messy. This one is really, really |
| 1:36.3 | candid and really unfiltered. So sometimes it's nice to just sit back and relax and relate and identify. And before we get into the actual |
| 1:47.9 | episode, I just want to offer a little bit of a solution here because when I find myself in |
| 1:54.7 | this space, everything that we're talking about in this episode. So worrying about timing, |
| 2:01.8 | worrying about comparison, feeling behind spir worrying about timing, worrying about comparison, |
| 2:07.7 | feeling behind spiraling about things, whether it's work or seeing somebody getting engaged or seeing somebody get pregnant, whatever it is for you, that career milestone. And suddenly |
| 2:13.0 | you're questioning your entire life and timeline. I mean, I think I've been very honest about the fact |
| 2:18.7 | that I can go there. And in those moments, I need something to kind of help to pull me out of that. |
