Ten years ago, I flipped the table I was sitting at and started out on a new adventure.
It was Friday, May 31, 2013.
I left my corporate career to start my own company, You Empowered Strong. After 20 years climbing the corporate ladder, playing the game, and at times, selling my soul...
My mom admitted herself into the hospital when I was 15. She wanted to commit suicide. That was the first of two times.
I found this out only by cleaning her room one day, as I came across her journal. Now, I am not normally one to snoop. In fact, I am a rather private person, myself … yet, something compelled me to lift...
A little secret about me … one of my love languages is books. I am being totally serious. I absolutely LOVE books. Always have. I am an avid reader and a voracious learner, and I can never seem to read enough books.
In fact, I found myself the other day, when I dropped off an Amazon return to UPS, stopping into Half Price Books on...
There is this really interesting dichotomy we find ourselves bumping up against throughout all aspects of our lives …
You see, at our deepest level, we all crave to be seen for who we are. I mean, really seen. We seek that person or people who will really see us, really hear us, and really love us for who we truly are … the...
Okay, look I get it … menopause is not really the subject you are excited to tune into today.
But, once again, hear me out.
First of all, if you are woman over the age of 40, this is going to happen! And, you will thank me later where I share the inside look to help you prepare.
If you are already in the throes...
This past year has found me doing a LOT of research on the subject of menopause, the mighty “m” word, as this journey I have found myself on has truly kicked my ass.
Perhaps, you can relate?
That being said I found myself, a couple of years ago, listening to an episode on LeAnn Rimes’ podcast, Wholly Human (which...
To say it’s been a journey is a mild understatement. To say it’s felt like a complete shit show … well, that sounds more on point to me.
“Wait, what is Candy talking about?” you might be asking yourself right now.
Well, let me tell you … I’m talking about the mighty “M” word.
...
“New Year, New You” … ugh, that expression drives me nuts, In fact, all the hype around the New Year makes me absolutely crazy, to be perfectly honest.
It’s like we pretend we have this arbitrary switch that we are suppose to turn on that is going to change everything.
And, then we wonder why we end up...
Do you realize that the biggest fear, aside from death and public speaking (yes, that actually ranks higher than death for many people … I’ll come back to that in another blog post) is being judged (and being criticized)?
Well, I have news for you … you’re always being judged.
And …
It...
I’m not logical.
In fact, some would even call me bat-shit crazy.
I don’t make logical decisions. Often times they seem radical, out there, or even ridiculous.
I am not linear.
I am here to “bend time” and take dynamic, quantum leaps.
To be a tree-shaker, a table-flipper, a rebel, and a light...
