Once again, we're heading into the holiday season, which can be hard. I know it has been hard for me in the past—I've had a lot of challenges to the holidays, with various things that go on. There's been a lot of times where the holidays just feel extra heavy, extra chaotic, extra intense. There's been a lot of dysfunction in my family and there's been a lot of need for boundaries over the years. One of the things I've learned over the years is how to create tools and strategies to navigate thro...

"What do you want to be when you grow up?" This question, that we routinely ask kids, is absolutely nauseating and offensive to me. It's not an effective question at all. So, in this episode, we'll continue this conversation, and hear what questions, I believe, we should start asking kids instead.

I want to talk about another thing to quit... and that is this question that most of us ask our children. I'm going to tell you why I think we should quit this and why I think this question really doesn't serve on any level. It's the question that we ask kids, as little as three years old when they can talk and they can start thinking for themselves. The question is: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I personally think that is the dumbest question possible that we could ask a child and ...

Today, I am going to take you down a little rabbit hole into the past. I'm pulling from my vault of archives on a segment I did about three years ago called Coffee Chats with Coach Candy. I used to do a morning show and the topics would be all over the place. People had opportunity to ask me questions, and we just got to follow the path of where it went. So today, I am going to share with you one of the questions that I get all the time. How did you know it was time to leave corporate? How did ...

Let's talk about impostor syndrome. We see things on social media and we have a sensationalized perspective around how we think other people's lives are unfolding and what's really going on. I've had so many people through the course of my life say that I always have my shit together. And I think that's really interesting, because oftentimes, what seems like I've got my shit together, is really just a hot mess that's about to boil over on the inside. And so I like to tell people that I am a duck...

I am super excited to mix things up a bit by bringing my first interview guest to the podcast! I want to bring some of my friends and thought leaders on the show that in my opinion exemplify being aligned AF. These sessions, just like the show, are unscripted— it's raw, it's real, it's gritty. It's getting into some shit that needs to be put on the table. I think it's really imperative that you get to hear the interplay between other thought leaders—and I will tell you, we don't always agree on ...

I came across a meme that actually got me pretty riled up. The meme said, "Winners are not people who never fall, but people who never quit." How about we QUIT with this bullsh*t! How about we quit telling people to just keep going when it hurts. How about we quit staying in the relationship that isn't fulfilling. How about we quit the job that is depleting our life force. How about we quit when it is no longer in alignment. WINNERS KNOW WHEN TO QUIT. I'm going to tell you winners quit all the t...

I want to talk today about the notion of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine energies. It seems this topic is all the buzz nowadays. I personally think there's been a lot of confusion with exactly what these concepts mean and how we are meant to be applying them to our life. Let's start by redefining what the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine energies are and discuss why neither is a bad thing and why we actually need both. Let's clear up some confusion today and get ALIGNED AF! ...

We have such a misrepresentation around what power really is in our culture that I want to break it down and redefine what power truly is. Oftentimes, we think about power as being this force that's exerted. It's either this push or this pull, or at least that's the way the energy is right now, especially in our culture. So, in this episode, I want to shift that and talk about the TRUE POWER that comes from within. Power is something that we each have access to within our own being. It is not th...

Today, I want to chat about why we should normalize not being normal. We keep trying to put ourselves into boxes and are wasting time, energy, and focus into fitting into someone else's version of what we're supposed to do and who we're supposed to be. What the f*ck does "normal" mean anyway? I think we need to STOP normalizing everything. Get lit up today and aligned AF by listening to this episode! Connect with Candy!

Today, I want to talk about your sacred cows. We'll discuss what they are, how they get in the way of your life and business and what they're ultimately costing you. When I say "sacred cow," it's those things that you're hanging on too tightly to—your beliefs, your comfort zone, your processes and systems, etc, that are not allowing you to see the truth and are ultimately costing you a whole heck of a lot. They're the justifications as to why you can't make a change and a forward leap in your li...

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 episode) is being judged (and being criticized) ? Well, I have news for you … you’re always being judged. And … It doesn’t matter. Yep, that’s right, it doesn’t matter. And, the kicker … it’s not actually about you.. The problem, however, is that we think it’s about us, we internalize it, and we allow someone else opinion to de...

I choose to be aligned as fuck. I am a badass (at least in my mind) , heart-centered soul guide and thought leader. I don’t fit in a box, and am here to dance to the beat of my own drum. I am a force of light, love, sassiness, truth, and wonder. And, I absolutely love guiding and working with emerging, enlightened, and evolving leaders to help them access, activate, and amplify their purpose, passion, unique gifts, and voice. I truly believe one of my greatest gifts is to light a fire under peop...

If you would have told me that I would take time off this past summer, I would have responded with a “hell no” to that. And, proceeded to claim that I needed to “get shit moving” or that I “couldn’t possibly take time off” … or, some other version of “no, I can’t.” Yet, when the universe says STOP, the universe means NOW. My level of burn-out had reached a pretty significant level. Again, I hadn’t been back here since my corporate days, more than a decade ago. I was pushing again. Pushing. So. H...

I'm letting you in on my sabbatical journey from the last several months. The truth is I was feeling old, familiar signs of frustration, fatigue, burnout … the kind I haven’t felt since my corporate days. I needed to go off-the-grid, to go offline, to go quiet and get still, to go dark for a bit. It’s only been recently that I’ve popped my head back into the mainstream again, back into social media a bit, back into my “work.” I'm now feeling ALIGNED AF and I'm excited to share all that showed up...
