We had the good fortune of connecting with Casi Amaradio and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Casi, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Being authentic and honest has always been the top priority when starting my brand. I want my followers to know that when I try something I will not hold back on my thoughts or when we experience a new show that my critique will be authentic.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My day to day job is being a homeschool mom of three amazing kiddos. Being a full time homeschool teacher definitely has its challenges since there is never a time to clock out which means making time for creating content can be a bit challenging. Normally I time block my time when the kids are in bed to create anything I may need to get done. Is it tough to get things done? Absolutely, but I have never been a person of excuses. I am a firm believer if you want to make something happen you need to put in the time and effort and make it possible.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I mean the obvious answer would be the Disneyland Resort. We start with rope dropping (which means be on Main Street when the park opens) and head straight to Space Mountain. We would then go to all the large attractions while placing our mobile orders for the day. As we are cruising along I would be giving her all the tips and tricks while also pointing out many Hidden Mickeys. Breaking for meals, the Magic Happens Parade and of course closing our day with Wondrous Journeys Firework Show.

After such a busy day a nice break at the hotel pool would be a need. Maybe dinner at Trader Sams as well.

The following day would be a fun filled day over at Disney’s California Adventure. There we would head straight to Radiator Racers, Guardians, and Incredicoaster. We would then spend the rest of the day catching up on the other attractions. We would close our night at World of Color.

After that I would show her to some of my favorite beaches to soak in some sun.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband is my number one encourager and supporter. He has always helped me to make my ideas come a reality. I really could never be doing this without his support.

My second person is my best friend, Brittany. She has always cheered me on from the very beginning. She encourages me when I am in a creative rut and is always there to bounce off all my wild ideas.
