Stronger Together
Cassie and Tracey’s partnership is as serendipitous as it is meaningful. The two first met in high school but drifted apart over the years as life took them down separate paths. In a beautiful twist of fate, they were reintroduced years later under extraordinary circumstances.
When Cassie was diagnosed with breast cancer, she sought out a mentor through a breast cancer mentoring program. The program’s coordinator saw the potential for a perfect match and paired her with Tracey. What began as a mentor-mentee relationship quickly blossomed into a deep friendship rooted in shared experiences and a mutual passion for empowering others.
Their bond laid the foundation for Homegrown Healing. Together, Cassie and Tracey combine their life experiences, professional expertise, and shared vision to create an organization that offers women the support and resources they need to reclaim their strength and thrive.
