Cosmic Goodness: Surrendering the Shadows to Live in the Light - Paperback

by Cassidy Gard (Author), Mariel Hemingway (Foreword by)

"Cosmic Goodness reminds you what I had to learn the hard way: life gets better the moment you stop trying to control everything, trust the pull inside you, and let yourself become who you're meant to be." --Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast

Cassidy Gard embodied the energy of a 2000s rom-com heroine, exactly what she envisioned as a teen watching journalist Andie Anderson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Sharp, intuitive, and lit by ambition, she built a career at Good Morning America, navigating a hybrid world of investigative reporting, exclusive interviews with cultural icons, and the adrenaline of breaking national news.

Beneath the achievement was the generational trauma she carried as the daughter of a volatile alcoholic. A girl conditioned to survive by dimming her light, she was no longer willing to let her family's dysfunction define her future.

At seventeen, she left Florida for New York City, craving expansion. What followed was a whirlwind of early YouTube journalism, the identity-shaping landscapes of Los Angeles and New York, and rising through the industry while battling anxiety, depression, and perfectionism. Serendipitously, a golden thread of run-ins with "The Rockstar," her musical hero, appeared at pivotal moments like mystical guideposts, leading her toward new people, places, and possibilities.

As the world shut down, she woke up. An inner revolution pulled her toward conscious sobriety. She left the burnout loop for Montana sunsets, a cabin called Cosmic Goodness, and a partner lovingly nicknamed Squirrel she met on 2/22/22, followed by a metamorphosis into motherhood.

"Cassidy Gard doesn't just intellectually understand spiritual principles. She has lived them. She viscerally gets it, aligning the earthy and the divine in a fantastic way. What a heart, what a brain, what a writer. She hits you right between the eyes and you feel blessed." --Marianne Williamson
