A note from your resident well actually girl…

Hi friend—welcome! I am thrilled you’ve found my corner of the Internet. Home base for Well…Actually is a girl’s girl’s cul-de-sac—a space focused on female friendships, millennial cringe, personal style, good literature, pop culture, and the interconnectedness of it all.

You’ll get a new missive from me most Fridays, and a monthly “Book Journal” where I chat about what I read in the previous month. I’m a lawyer by day, and this is a passion project alongside my full time job, so cadence may vary as life will inevitably get in the way.

I am so happy you’ve allowed me to appear in your inboxes every week. Please consider sharing with a friend. Thank you again for being here!

xoxo, Cassie

P.S. I just celebrated my first year on Substack, which you can read about here:


A few things about me…

small town-raised, city-souled, will travel for food

eldest daughter, elder millennial, dog mom

Gemini sun, libra rising, scorpio moon

avid reader, red lip lover, owner of many vintage men’s jackets

ideally served fresh raw oysters, an anchovy-laden Caesar salad, French fries

corporate lawyer by day, bauble dragon by night, a bona fide girl’s girl always

opinionated, curious, laughing is my favorite

Legal-ish Disclaimer…

You knew this was coming! I am a lawyer by day, after all. There will be no legal opinions, advice, or counsel given in this space, because WELL…ACTUALLY…despite being on par with Elle Woods (“I'm comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life”), the whole purpose behind this newsletter is to explore the creative crevices of my brain that said legal jargon hasn’t inhabited. You won’t find a single whereas or heretofor here (unless I’m feeling a bit cheeky).


A sampling of the well…actually flavor…


…and a few Book Journal entries for the bookworms…
