In 2026, Cassidy Gard, an Emmy-winning producer, will publish her debut memoir "Cosmic Goodness: Surrendering the Shadows to Live in the Light" through Post Hill Press. The book chronicles Gard's professional journey in the news industry, as well as a personal "inner revolution" that prompted her to embark on a transformative solo roadtrip from New York City to Montana.
Gard's memoir details her path to becoming a journalist, inspired by the character Andie Anderson in the film "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." After moving from Florida to New York City at 17, Gard built a successful career, first in the entertainment industry as a stand-in for Blake Lively on "Gossip Girl," and later as a producer for "Good Morning America" and a YouTube content creator.
Despite her professional accomplishments, Gard was still grappling with the trauma of being the daughter of a "volatile alcoholic." In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, she experienced a profound personal awakening that led her toward a fresh start. Gard's memoir recounts her journey, including buying a cabin in Montana, which she named "Cosmic Goodness," and finding a new partner and becoming a mother.
