EP 116 How to Build a Successful Business w Meaning & Good Intent
Now this podcast may seem a bit harsh - but as a writer I speak no lies and I wanted to get down to real biz here:
SWOT analysis - write this out and know your strengths and weaknesses as well
Create a Business Plan and get organized and specific
HIRE way way smarter and more experienced than you
Capital - do you have it? Do you need it? Where will your financial stability come from?
CPA //LEGAL
Also what kind of legacy do you want to leave?
Are you experienced in the field you wan to move into?
The world needs more healers, lovers and support systems - not necessarily products, billionaires or assholes. A great model: Dress for Success, Patagonia or the Insight Timer meditation app.
Keep it real - as Ali G says and think smart about your business before you jump in head first.
with love and thank you for listening - Candice

EP 111 Cleansing From Fake Wellness: Real Wellness is FREE
I've been curious about how fake wellness practitioners have been trying to buy your way well. When wellness comes from many marginalized voices and from our ancient ancestors practices. If we learn more about foolish con-artist thirst VS wholesome nutrition, sleep, cold plunges, water, changing our thoughts, breathing, meditation, walking, pets, the library, community events, or simply boundaries with crazy ppl. We become better wellness practitioners - bc when you are real and authentic - you open the doors to a new beginning of true wellness. xx its always free xx ck

EP 109- How to Be Spiritually Well: A No Bullshit Path to Being Better
Spiritual Wellness is different for everyone.
We live in a world where we can learn to see other's beliefs and values. Let's choose to respect and honour all beliefs: (not just yours). Open your small and narrow mind this year.
Follow those with a resume & decades of experience - trust me it will change your life
Be yourself and be vulnerable - being fake AF is out, sorry.
Humility - grace- merit - these things matter.
Look to the light in this world - that's what Kintsugi is.
Look to the Divine Timing of how your life unfolds, and carry faith with you.
Accept things are unjust and they will never be fair - and its okay!
You are so good and you have all the tools you need to be a better wellness practitioner.
Wellness and Spirituality are FREE - don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Look to people and partners who fill your heart with joy and love! This is a simple practice.
How to Become ONE with others
Continue to focus on respect and merit. Continue your journey of truth and authenticity,
Because soon the world will change and the cream will ride//the pendulum will swing
And where will you be? Ask yourself - how can you be just 10% better than yesterday? What have you learned today?
Remind your girlfriends - how amazing they are! There's plenty of room for success for everyone! All good spiritual practitioners know -- your time will come, be patient. Be kind, be loving.
Be easy on you - be soft be the light! you are bright -- thank you for listening & please share with 3 friends + write that juicy 5 star review! Love xx Candice

EP 108 - Debunking Wellness Bullshit Part II: True Wellness is Free & it Starts With Cleansing the Mind
True Wellness is Free & it Starts With Cleansing the Mind. It's not monetary and its not wrapped in a box and shipped. Wellness needs a full overhaul//its own cleanse.

Wellness is a clean mindset that starts with forgiveness, letting go and un-attaching from ideas, behaviors, patterns, additions and toxic people that don't work for you anymore. That includes websites you follow, ppl you follow and apps on your phone.. be careful, safe, mindful - while also being real. Listen for more insight & thank you for listening x Candice
