1. What keeps you busy?

My family, especially my one year old daughter, Caroline, who keeps me on my toes! My two other 24/7 jobs are real estate and blogging. I’m a real estate broker and I specialize in helping people buy & sell their homes in Chicago and the North Shore. The spring real estate market is officially here and definitely keeping me busy! I also run a motherhood, life & style focused blog called, katiecassman.com. I share adventures with my daughter, my favorite places to eat in Chicago & the north shore and other snippets of my life & style along the way!

2. How do you practice self-care?

I try to eat lots of protein, fruits and vegetables throughout the week and allow myself to indulge on the weekends. I just started mixing vital proteins into my morning coffee to hopefully help my hair post-baby. My favorite self-care practice is my weekly therapy sessions. I've learned a lot about myself through talk therapy and consider myself to be a lifer.

3. How do you keep active?

Having a toddler has made me a whole new level of active. I love to get my exercise from walking and playing sports - tennis, paddle tennis and golf.

4. What's in your gym bag?

A water bottle, headphones & gum.
