EPISODE 008

When It’s Too Heavy to Hold Anymore

Candace’s brave reckoning with grief, guilt, and the fear of letting go.

There’s a moment when your body speaks louder than your thoughts.
When your shoulder tightens.
When your jaw clenches.
When your soul whispers: This isn’t just pain. This is buried grief.

In this raw, unfiltered session, Candace takes the Love Seat—carrying decades of unspoken sorrow, self-doubt, and a mother wound still tender to the touch. She doesn’t have a breakthrough. Candace has something even more sacred: a new beginning.

This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s done the work…
but still carries the weight.
Still feels invisible.
Still wonders if she’s allowed to receive love.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What it’s like to start healing when the wound still feels fresh
• How the body holds on to grief—especially when the heart feels unsafe
• A guided visualization to meet the part of you that’s still afraid
• The presence of a grandmother’s love when it’s needed most
• The importance of staying with the heaviness, without rushing to “fix it”

This isn’t resolution.
This is truth-telling.
And it’s exactly where the healing begins.

🎧 Sit with Candace. You’ll feel less alone.
