There are no shortcuts in life. It is going to take time to find success. Do it anyway.

-Christy Cashman

Welcome to the story of Christy Cashman, a listener favorite on The Story Behind Her Success. This interview launched about two years ago, and when I lost my voice due to acute laryngitis, I had to put recording new shows on hold and went to my library to find the most popular shows to listen to. Christy Cashman is an actress who has appeared in over 20 movies, including the blockbuster film American Hustle. Born in Ohio, she was raised on a poultry farm and is one of nine children. When the family moved to North Carolina, Christy fell in love with horses. These days, she’s a wife and mother of two boys. She and her husband, Boston developer Jay Cashman, even own a castle in Ireland! In this interview, Christy talks about her first novel, The Truth About Horses. Chock-full of interesting characters, the book delves into the human experience through the eyes of 14-year-old Reese, whose love of horses sustains her during the toughest of times. Says Christy: “In this story, Reese learns that to move on, you have to let go. Loss is just as much a part of life as new beginnings.” Open, honest, and with a great sense of humor, Christy shares details about her childhood, including when the family TV broke, and it was never replaced. She recalls the magic of hearing her father recite poetry and the sound of her mother’s voice as she read the children before bedtime. Christy is the founder of YouthINK, a teenage mentorship program. A gifted artist, Christy says she’s learned some life lessons the hard way. “There are no shortcuts in life. It’s going to take time to find success. My advice? Do it anyway.” For 24 minutes of entertainment and inspiration, just hit that download button. #horses #writer #actress #Ireland
